Chapter 129.2. Tearful Reunion

The brain, which had taken over the body, was exposed, the flesh of the face was gone, and the body was a tangle of rotting musculature and tree branches. Only the spinal cord and heart remained in the torso, making it look like a deformed treant zombie.

So when I met Mashiro, I didn’t recognize him as Ninny’s onii-chan, and there was no way it would ring a bell.

In the game, Gerðr says it’s an emotional reunion, and Ninny is speechless at his sight.

The other captured people feel the same way. It’s a depressing turn of events, and it’s here to stay. I don’t think it’s too much so I button-mash it.

And then I get into a battle with the manipulated Mashiro, and I defeat him. And the moment he defeated him, he regained consciousness, which was a typical development. I don’t like that kind of depressing development.

A tragic reunion. It’s a wonder Ninny didn’t lose her mind. Shin becomes the emotional support after that. I don’t know, Shin is like that all the time, but I guess harem heroes are usually like that.

Yamiyo and Ninny shed tears, and Tamamo squeezed Mii-chan’s hand with a somber look as if he couldn’t be saved anymore.

“Onii-sama, I’m sorry for the delay in coming to your aid …….”

“Onii-san,…… this can’t be happening,………”

At the sound of their tearful voices, Mashiro manages to reach out and gently caress Yamiyo’s cheek.

“It’s okke we finnaLy mmeetz.”

With a pained look on his face and a quiver in his mouth, Mashiro manages to smile.

[Cure III].

Mii-chan is kind enough to recover him from his condition out of kindness, even though it would be difficult for him to speak.

Along with the silver particles, little angels fly around Mashiro, smashing stardust.

The branches and roots of the tree that had been eroding all calcified and scattered silently, and light covered Mashiro’s missing body. His face, which had been more than half wood, his side that had been shaved, and his limbs that had ceased to exist were all enveloped by the light.

Then, as the light popped with a pashin, Mashiro returned to his original human form.

“Uuumm….”

Mashiro froze with his hand on Yamiyo’s cheek. Yamiyo and the others roll their eyes and are speechless.

“Eh, Em-chan, you can heal this too!”

“Yeah. It was a gamble, though.”

I answer with a glowing smile to Tamamo, who is astonished with disbelief, her fox ears standing on end.

I know, I know. The abnormality indeed looked like we couldn’t help him.

In the game, the parasite caused by treant was [Deadly Poison II]. But this is reality. I didn’t know what would happen…

I had Hugin analyze it, and this is what is displayed.

[Teijo Mashiro: Level 40, Head Seal III, Hand Seal III, Foot Seal III, Deadly Poison II].

That’s what gets displayed. To be honest, I was lucky. If it was this bad, [Cure III] would heal the patient in one shot. You need many potions to heal each part, but with recovery magic, you only need one.

If recovery isn’t possible, I would like to keep it. Let’s keep the method of storing a maiden’s secret.

“Onii-sama!”

“Onii-chan!”

With a gulp, they jumped into Mashiro’s chest and sobbed. They cry so hard that Mashiro turns to Miu, patting their heads with a gentle smile.

“Thank you, Miu. I didn’t think you’d be able to save me in this condition.”

“I’m glad I could help too!”

Our eyes meet, and they laugh.

“So, please get dressed quickly.”

“Ah, yes.”

He’s completely naked, which is bad for the girl’s education.

“Kyaa, pervert!”

At Mii-chan’s words, Ninny, whose cheeks turned bright red like ripe apples, slapped Mashiro’s cheeks with a bashin with all her might.

“Hey, hey, Ninny-san, Mashiro-oniisama has just healed!”

“He doesn’t have a single injury anymore!”

“It’s only a little, but it’s growing!”

Crying out in embarrassment, Ninny stormed out and slapped Mashiro, and Yamiyo hurriedly grabbed her hand and tried to restrain her. I’ll leave Mashiro’s line with no comment.

The gloomy atmosphere of a few minutes ago is gone, replaced by a brighter atmosphere, and I am inwardly relieved. I’m glad it worked out.

“Em-chan is still Em-chan!”

Tamamo says, smiling and happy as she watches Ninny and the others play with each other.

Hoho, if there’s something you want to include, tell me honestly.

It took quite a while for them to settle down after the commotion.

It’s okay because Yamiyo seems to be happy.

I’m really glad I was able to help Mashiro.
