I Am Sought After by Everyone in a Different World Where the Power and Chastity of Men and Women Are Reversed - 7

Chapter 7: Put My Mind Into It!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“….Ugh…”

“Ple-Please help! Our comrade was attacked by a monster! Please give us a potion!”

A woman who appeared to be an adventurer was carrying a young man on her back. She lowered him on the ground and the blood started gushing from the man’s abdomen. 

“His wound…”

“….I’m sorry but… Give it up. This wound is beyond saving.”

“Don’t be ridiculous! He can still be saved!! Please!! We’ve used all of our potions!! Please, give us a potion! We will definitely pay you!”

“….Here you go.”

“Thank you! I owe you one! Menace, here! Take this potion!”

The woman received a bottle of green potion from another adventurer and poured its content onto the man’s abdomen. However, the man’s complexion remained ashen. In fact, his breathing gradually grew weaker. His face also turned even paler. 

“Darn it!! Why?! Why isn’t he healing?! Please… Don’t die… Don’t die!!”

This was the reality for adventurers in this world. The tattered armor, the flowing blood, the face of someone gradually getting paler as he edged closer to death, the desperate, tearful expression of his comrades that was trying to save him…

Honestly speaking, the reality that I had transported to another world hadn’t settled in just yet. Even though I had encountered monsters like slimes and getting attacked by female bandits, it just hadn’t really sunk in yet. 

But now, the reality was as clear as day. The fading life, the desperation as his friend poured the potions to no avail… The crying… The persistence, never giving up until the very end… This was the reality of this world. 

“What’s up with all the commotion? Oops, someone is injured! Alright. Let’s bring him to this room first…”

But… By the time I realized it, I was already running towards the injured man.

“Souma! Wait!”

“Huh? Who are you?!”

“Move aside!”

As a normal high school student, I didn’t know the detailed structure of the human body. 

I didn’t know what the inside of my stomach looked like under normal circumstances, let alone when there was a big gaping hole in it with a sea of blood pooling around. Hence why, I just had to put my mind to it, willing this person’s wound to close. 

I wanted to heal this person. I wanted to save him, I wanted to help him! I should be able to do it. I should!! After all, what was the point of being a male saint if I couldn’t?!

HEAL! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL!

“HEAL!!!”

Outstretching my hand toward the man’s wound, I chanted the spell for healing. The wound glowed far more brilliantly than when I had healed Thalia-san’s thumb and then Menace-san’s wound rapidly closed up. 

“Ugh…. Huh? What happened to me…? I remember I was attacked by a monster…”

“Me-Menace!! Thank goodness, you’re alive!! You’re really alive!!! The wound on your stomach is completely healed!!”

“””OOOOOOOOHH!!”””

Thank goodness. It seemed I had successfully healed Menace-san’s injury with my healing magic. For a fatal wound could be cured in an instant… This must be due to the healing power of a male saint. 

“Hey, who is that cute guy?”

“That guy… Was he the one that use healing magic?!”

“Co-Could it be… He’s a healer?!”

“That beautiful black-haired boy from earlier… Could it be he’s…?!”

Ah! Crap!! Even though the Guild Master told me to keep the fact that I’m a healer as much as possible, I ended up using healing magic with so many eye witnesses!! Ahh! The Guild Master is giving me a “you really did it now” look!

“Tha-Thank you!! You saved Menace’s life… Truly, thank you so much!!”

“Healer-sama, thank you very much!”

….It seemed the deed had been done. It was already too late to salvage the situation. But at least, I was able to save this person so it was all good, I guess?

“No, it’s fine. I’m glad your injury is healed. However, we can’t be completely sure if you’re fully healed yet. Please make sure to rest and avoid doing anything strenuous for a while. Also, if you start feeling unwell, please go see someone to check up on you immediately.”

“Yes!! As you command, Healer-sama!!”

“…Umm, there’s no need to speak so formally with me. You’re older than me, after all.”

“How benevolent you are! But… Even though you’ve saved my life.. My apologies, I don’t have much money on me! Here, take these 20 gold coins! This is all I have! I’ll make sure to pay the rest later, but please accept this for now!”

….What?! Are you an idiot?! I told you I’m not completely sure you’re fully healed yet and you want to give me all of your money?!

But… This was bad. I hadn’t figured out the general rate for healing services yet. I didn’t know what was the standard fee for treating an injury in this caliber. But still, since I didn’t even know if his injury was fully healed yet, I should just take a small amount of money. He could pay me the rest later. 

“If I take all of your money, you won’t be able to recuperate properly. I will just accept 5 gold coins for now. You can pay the rest after you’ve recovered.”

“…Huh?! A-Are you sure?!”

“Yes. Please focus on recovering your health first.”

“Tha-Thank you!! I will never forget this kindness for the rest of my life!!”

…No, the rest of your life is a bit too much….

“””WHOAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!””

The heck is happening now?!??!!

“A male god!! The male god of healing has appeared!!”

“Amazing… Even though he’s a healer, but he’s so generous!! What a kind man!!”

“He’s an angel!! A black-haired angel!! There’s no doubt about it!!”

“Not only is he beautiful and cute, but he’s also very benevolent!! I want to take him as my husband!!”

This world… I wonder if everything is going to be okay…? Also, stop calling me a male god or a black-haired angel! Seriously, it’s bad for my SAN gauge so please, stop…
