CH 52

"This room."

A certain room in the royal castle.

After stopping there, brother-in-law Hermes entered after a little knocking.

What I saw after coming in was a big bed inside, a girl laying there, and a maid taking care of her.

"Flora, are you awake?"

"... Yes, Onii-sama"

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine. By the way... did you bring a guest? That's unusual."

The girl forced to smile.

Maybe around the same age as me?

She has beautiful blue hair, sky blue eyes and is quite a beautiful girl, but her skin is very pale and her complexion is bad.

Looking at her skinny figure, probably because she hasn't eaten much, I have a slightly bad feeling.

"Oh, he is my brother-in-law, Rosa's younger brother, Sirius. I thought you did like to meet him."

"Is that so, I'm sorry for letting you see me like this..."

"My Lady!"

"I'm fine... Thank you, Anne."

She acts bravely, but I can see that she is in pain.

I approach gently and cast healing magic lightly.

――However, it turned out that there were multiple diseases that could not be cured.

"I see... is it the 'diseases attracting constitution..."

"ah"

Diseases attracting constitution -- that is, a so-called peculiar constitution, a sickly constitution that casually collects all kinds of diseases from the surroundings

In my previous life, when I was a hero, there were some people with this kind of constitution, but this is the first time I've seen it in this world.

“She can barely hold it with the healing of the priest. Fortunately, the progress of the symptoms is slow…”

Does that mean it's causing her pain?

“Also, she was born with a disability in my legs… she can’t walk."

Brother-in-law discreetly whispered to me.

"I see... I can't do anything about her legs, but I might help with her sickness."

"……Really?"

"Yeah, it's just that, there might be a bit of a problem with the way it's done."

"I don't mind. I'll keep the secret, and if you can heal her, that's the best."

Brother-in-law Hermes looks serious.

When I see Flora-sama, who is smiling bravely, and I become annoyed when I think about what I need to heal her and what I will do after.

"……I understand"

Having made up my mind, I approached Lady Flora, and gently closed my lips on hers.

Flora-sama and the surroundings  were surprised by this unexpected action.

But what happened next surprised them even more.

"Is this... healing? But I've never seen such a divine light..."

The area was overflowing with warm green light, and even me and Flora-sama are wrapped in that light.

Ordinary healing is useless in front of the diseases attracting constitution.

No matter how much magical power you have, no matter how well you can use magic, it doesn't make much sense in front of this constitution.

……Yes, if it’s normal.

This method of sending healing directly into the human body in this way……A kiss, but  it is more like artificial respiration than a kiss.

With this method, I can force my magic power to reach deep inside the body.

Well, there's actually a better way to do it, but... that method is rated R18, so I can't do it as a minor.

Besides, I'm really sorry even for a kiss.

Anyone would hate it to be kissed someone they just met like this, and when it comes to use this method to cure those with the diseases attracting constitution, both men and women can be cured with it, so it's a method I don't really want to use.

Then, a few minutes later, after I calmly released her lips, Flora-sama turned red and stared at me with her wet eyes.

"Fu, Flora-sama?

"Huh...? Oh, that? It's not painful anymore..."

Her complexion returned to normal, and at the same time, I sent a little energy to her, which should have stabilized her condition somewhat.

I said to Flora-sama while trying hard to not stagger.

“It’s not that the diseases attracting constitution has disappeared, so uh…you need a regular treatment, but I don’t think you will suffer for the time being.”

The diseases attracting constitution cannot be removed, but if I get rid of her illness regularly like this, she should be able to lead a normal life.

……However, it also means that I have to kiss her regularly……

“It is quite surprising …Sirius, you really are amazing.”

"No... more importantly, I did something bad to Flora-sama."

"No, thank you for your help."

Flora-sama smiled after confirming her physical condition.

I'm really sorry if it was her first kiss... but since this is like artificial respiration, and I was helping her, I think it's okay to not count it.

"But I understand a little of why you were reluctant. If you need a kiss to do this much, I can certainly understand your hesitation."

"Sorry ……"

"No, I have nothing but gratitude for Sirius. Thank you."

The three thanked me, but I was  desperately trying to suppress my dizziness.

It seems that I sent in much more energy than I thought, so I'll need a good rest later.

“That’s it… she needs the healing like the one just now on a regular basis, right?”

"Yeah, well..."

"Hmm……"

After glancing at Flora-sama and me, Brother-in-law Hermes nodded.

"Okay, then Sirius. Will you marry Flora?"

"Oh brother?"

"Me?"

"Well, take responsibility for the damage..."

I can't retort when he says like that, but...

"I'm joking. But for Flora to continue to live, Sirius's power is necessary, and how about just on the surface? I don't want to force it, but..."

"You can't do it, Onii-sama. A defective product like me... even my legs can't move... I'll cause trouble for Sirius-sama."

"What do you think, Sirius?"

Defective product...

Can she really be called a defective product just because she can't move her legs and need regular treatment for the diseases attracting constitution?

As for me, I have a sense of guilt for stealing her lips, and if it's a fiancée, I don't have to worry about Philia and the others, so I think I'll be fine...

“Hmm, it’s fine as long as you don’t mind Flora-sama.”

“I would lik…no, but are you okay this?"

"Yeah, but I don't want to switch my legal wife, Philia, that's the only condition..."

I was worried about that, but brother-in-law Hermes nodded to it.

"Ah, then there's nothing to worry about. This girl's mother is a commoner, so it doesn't matter if she's a little lower in the ranks, and if I can leave her to my cute brother-in-law, that's the best."

"...Then, the rest is up to you."

When she heard that, Flora-sama hesitated for a little before asking.

"Um... I can't live without relying on someone like this, and on top of that, I'm a defective product that can't even move my legs...is it okay? I'm..."

"Hmm, I think you don't have to lower yourself so much."

"Eh……?"

"Flora-sama, you're cute, and when you talk to me, I know you're a kind person, and I think that is enough for me."

Yes, frankly speaking, she has something that stuck in my heart, just like Philia.

Can't move your legs?

Then I'll carry you and take you to various places.

Let me help you for the rest of your life.

Diseases attracting constitution?

I'll treat you properly so that you don't suffer, so that's not a problem.

Well, for me, she wouldn't be a burden, and even if we can't have children, I don't mind.

……Yes, that’s right.  I kissed her and my feelings began to grow.

I didn't intend to increase the number of concubines anymore, but rather, with a girl like this, I think I'll be able to spend a leisurely life, and besides, I've decided to live as I please, so please call me whatever you want, even if it is lascivious.

After hearing my words, Flora-sama stared at me in a daze...and smiled.

"Sirius-sama is a strange person."

"Yes?"

"Um... can you please call me without honorific?"

"...I understand, Flora."

"Then, Sirius-sama... I'm a little person, but please take care of me."

Flora smiling like that was really cute.

That's how I got one more fiancée again... but I have to explain it properly to Philia and the others...
