4-11: Screw the Truth, Let Me Punch You (3/3)

Shinichi!!The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Shin!?

Nakamura-sama!

But the voice of those around her quickly brought her back.

He had already lost consciousness, yet his eyes remained open. Stella held him in her embrace and could still feel a tinge of warmth and breath coming from him, but to everyone else, already, he looked no different from a corpse.

Just how long had he been subsisting on willpower alone?

Did he keep fighting while in this state?

Did he mess around just to break the enemy while in this state?

Was he that angry seeing them hurt?

Calm down. Youre in the presence of a gravely ill patient, Stella said.

The moment she felt a heat different from that of burning anger, she sternly commanded those around her in her usual voice as the head maid.

Immediately, she cast spells to stop the bleeding and treat the boy, then she gave out orders one after another.

Hannah, Cattleya, erect a sterilized barrier, Stella said.

Huh? Ah, yes! Hannah said.

Right away! Cattleya said.

Pile up some clean sheets and maintain a Formation of Vitality. Its too dangerous to move him, so well be treating him right here, Stella said.

Understood!

Frau, talk to the count, but inform him only of the necessary details, Stella said.

Ill make sure he doesnt bother us! Frau said.

Clara, take Kite-sama with you and bring anything that might be useful from the manor What we have on us might not be sufficient. [Stella]

Understood, but Kite-sama is Frau said.

Its fine. My wounds have healed already, so just give the word, and Ill carry anything! Kite said.

Lilisha-sama, please lend us your remaining mana. That shouldnt burden you too much. Miya, Kaya, support me, Stella said.

But of course. Use my mana as much as you want! Lilisha said.

Leave it to us! Miya and Kaya said.

Ill be focusing on the deepest wound. Its worse than expected, so I likely wont be able to divide my attention. Louise youll be in charge of the fractures, the surface wounds, as well as stopping any bleeding that might occur. He cant lose any more blood than this. Alisa, youre responsible for the other organs that I havent touched. Not a single one should be left with any damage. Robelia, youre responsible for supporting everyone and administering treatment with magical potions. Were all exhausted and have bled a lot today, but were counting on you, Stella said.

Yes! Louise said.

Ill do my best! Alisa said.

Leave it to me! Robelia said.

Dont even think of holding back. If you need to, use all the resources we have. Be it your strength, mana, tools, medicines, or even the hidden treasures of the royal family. Use everything! That is fine, right? Stella said.

Yes, I give you permission under the name of Lilisha Earthgant, Lilisha said.

How trusting?

This man decided to entrust his life to them just like that.

Perhaps, hed entrusted something even beyond that.

A warrior that easily transcended them, and a tormentor that made demons appear lenient in comparison.

He knew so much from the start, yet he kept his distance and did not directly intervene.

This person who laughed, got angry, sighed, became depressed, all on their behalf, now entrusted everything to her and believed that there was nothing wrong with that at all.

Whether she wanted to or not, she had no choice but to accept it that at this very moment she was elated.

He had given her just a few words, but those words gave her more pride than anything else in her whole life.

She wanted to meet those expectations. She wanted to succeed.

That passion urged her to move, and for a moment, she forgot that she was a maid, and she had stepped ahead of her master.

Though she had received permission to do so, to go as far as touch that which did not belong to her was clearly a breach of ethics.

Her face burned up, and she looked like she was about to burst into flames, so to vent that she started grumbling.

Sheesh, you went off on your own, then you left everything to me and collapsed just as selfishly! Why are you so self-centered only when it comes to stuff like this? Say something weird again, and I swear Ill send you flying even if someone tries to stop me.

Understand? She told her unconscious partner.

Shed merely said out loud what everyone else was thinking, but even the other three girls focused on treating the boy couldnt help but turn toward her with astonishment.

By the time Stella realized that there had been a strange tone mixed in with her grumbles, it was already too late. Her face twitched.

Shed intended to grumble in a scolding manner, but instead she ended up sounding like some sentimental woman.

Focus.

Ah, yes!

Stella forced the matter to be ignored, and her sisters complied. Though the situation called for it, they were likely terrified of the consequences of poking at her mistake.

The maids focused on their respective tasks once again, but those with relatively easier jobs couldnt help but gossip.

Our big sis made an amazing face just now, didnt she?

Yep, yep. Shes our older sister, and yet even I felt my heart thump.

That Stella Fu fu, she actually made such a womanly face.

Stellas grumbles had sounded so womanly that her unintended audience couldnt help themselves but hope for an encore.

Lilisha would come to know about her blunder a few days later and tease her endlessly for it, but for now, Stella concentrated.

After Shinichis condition had somewhat stabilized, and he was transported to the royal villa, Stella continued to care for him tirelessly, foregoing even her own rest, for four days and four nights.

There were several moments when his condition was at risk, but Stella dealt with everything properly. As a result, he woke up on the morning of the fifth day. He woke as though it were a normal day, and he even casually asked, Huh, why are you in my room? And was promptly punched in the face. Youko would later remark how masterfully executed that straight was.

Tl Note:

Title for the previous 04-84-11 was wrong. Apparently, I just copy pasted the title of the old chapter and didnt notice.

Also, the site crashed last week, and I had to rebuild it to fix everything. Unfortunately, the old theme no longer works for some reason, so were going to be using this new theme instead. Theres no dark mode, and the previous-next buttons arent limited to their respective series. That will be fixed eventually, it will just take some time. Regardless, for now, the site is serviceable.
