Unorthodox Guild

Chapter 22 Should I fight too...?

"drink!"

On the ring, the black guy in the yellow numbered uniform roared and sent his opponent's elbow flying ten meters away.

Besides this dark-skinned PE student, there were others on stage: one flying a plane, one riding a wheelchair, one with a hole in his chest, and one who was only half-formed...

"Out!"

After ten seconds of countdown, the host announced the elimination of one contestant.

Every moment, players were eliminated, creating a chaotic scene resembling an unrestricted free-fighting contest.

"Where...where am I...?"

The black-haired girl cowered in the corner, staring at the scene with disbelief.

Although Yura didn't know why she was here, it's true that she woke up like this, really.

"Next up is Yura! Get ready."

"Huh, huh?"

The spotlight shone on the girl.

"Me...do I have to fight them too?"

............

............

The Forest of Cuteness, a meadow deep within.

I don't know what happened here, but it's almost impossible to tell that it's a grassland anymore.

"..."

"..."

"Ultraman, wake up! I'm Shafulin..."

"..."

"Miss Elisa, are you sure this is how you pronounce the spell, meow?"

"That's right, Elisa wouldn't lie to Lilia, eh."

Clutching her head, which was swollen with a bump, she said, "Boss, why did you hit Elisa on the head...?"

"You're already stupid, and you're still teasing that cat."

"Meow meow meow, Miss Yura seems to be waking up!"

"..."

"...Hmm."

It seemed to be sensing a mysterious call.

The black-haired girl, lying on the lawn, groaned softly a few times before slowly opening her eyes...

"Um, Lilia, Elisa..."

"And Mr. Kaya... um."

Yura was just about to sit up.

But because of the excruciating pain emanating from various parts of his body, he collapsed straight down again.

"Yura, Yura, what's wrong...?"

The girl seemed somewhat bewildered, as if she hadn't quite figured out what had happened.

"Little sister Yura..."

Elisa, who was standing to the side, pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere.

She wiped away a few tears that had welled up in her eyes: "Although it's hard for Elisa to say, Yura suffered very serious injuries, and I'm afraid she'll spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair..."

"..."

"How...how could this happen..."

I looked at the black-haired girl who was sniffling and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Elisa sighed softly, squatted down, and patted Yura on the shoulder.

He turned his head away again, unable to bear the girl's pitiful gaze, and spoke with some difficulty.

"Miss Yura, it seems you'll need the boss's help to go to the restroom from now on..."

"Ugh..."

"But don't worry, the boss will take good care of you..."

"Have you had enough of this?"

He quickly pulled the white thing aside and shook his head weakly.

"She just woke up. There's a limit to being indecent, you know, Elisa."

"whee."

"..."

He ignored Elisa.

He crouched down and patted Yura's head.

"Yura, it's okay, you're just..."

"Mr. Kaya, oh my god—"

Before he could finish speaking...

Yura was like a dam whose floodgates had been opened. She hugged the black-haired boy in front of her, and tears fell like pearls down her cheeks.

"..."

This led her to not notice that she had very few clothes left on her body.

Tears soaked Kaya's clothes, and skin pressed tightly against Kaya's body, making the touch of the embrace even more delicate and real.

"..."

Of course, Kaya isn't such an improper person.

"..."

Although he didn't know what had happened to Yura, he silently accepted the girl's embrace and temporarily became her outlet for his emotions.

"Don't listen to Elisa's nonsense, she's just teasing you..."

"Oh dear, will Yura be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life...?"

"No, Yura, it's just a little..."

"Waaah, I'm so sorry, Mr. Kaya..."

"Everyone says it's just a minor injury, and it'll be fine after a few days of rest..."

"Yura won't trouble Mr. Kaya; Yura will try her best to go to the toilet by herself..."

"..."

I don't know what to say.

"Phew, it's alright, little Yura."

"Waaah..."

Elisa appeared behind Kaya without her noticing.

He patted Kaya on the shoulder: "The boss is happy to do this kind of thing, right?"

"..."

"Elisa, we still have a score to settle."

"Hehe, my stomach suddenly hurts a little."

............

............

"Pfft, pfft."

As the sun slowly dipped below the horizon in the west, casting its crimson glow upon the scattered remains of the woods, I watched.

Kaya was still holding Yura in her arms.

[Elite] [Error] [Blue Slime lv1]

[Under the influence of the Elite attribute, the maximum magic power is greatly increased.]

[In the entry for "error"...error, Errorcode: 404]

Beside the two of them was a tiny blue slime.

Strangely, the slime didn't cause any trouble: it just sat quietly on the grass beside them, seemingly keeping Kaya and Yura company.

"Oh, it's you."

Judging from the black magic surrounding it, it was clear that this was the giant slime that Kaya had just encountered.

The only difference is that its size has changed to about the size of Elisa, and its level has been reduced from level 15 to level 1.

"..."

I didn't expect that this slime wouldn't attack me just now.

Looking at the quiet little blue creature beside her, Kaya felt a mix of emotions.

When he saw this guy, he thought he was doomed: after all, with his magic reserves and physical condition, it would be difficult to defeat an elite slime with maxed-out resistances, let alone take care of the unconscious Yura.

But just as he gritted his teeth, preparing to draw his short sword and begin the fight...

"..."

But the giant blue slime ignored him.

It slowly crawled to the side of the black-clad girl and began to channel magic into the unconscious Yura...

"..."

Kaya, who had crushed countless slimes, considered himself to have a fairly professional understanding of blue slimes.

Furthermore, Kaya's major at the Sisonia Magic Academy was also monster research; but this was the first time in his life he had ever seen someone do such a thing.

Although he had learned from books that high-level monsters could be sentient beings...

"Could it be because of the 'elite' keyword...?"

But just now, Kaya used a detection spell to take another look: clearly, under the Elite stat, there was only one increase in maximum mana...

"..."

and many more.

When I first saw it, this slime seemed to have two entries... Did I misread it?

"..."

Never mind, I guess I just misread it.

Monster detection is a fairly common type of detection magic. Although the effect of casting the spell varies depending on the person's constitution and magic power, the result has never been wrong.

"It seems that my understanding of slimes is only the tip of the iceberg."

He pinched the jelly-like little thing: But he has more important things to do now, and he'll deal with researching slimes later.

She shook her head and looked at her chest, where the black-haired girl's emotions seemed to have stabilized.

"..."

"Yura".

"Can you explain what just happened?"
