I Secretly Healed the Illness of the Twin Princesses While Wearing a Mask, and Now the Entire Kingdom Is in an Uproar ~Please Stop Trying to Expose the Street Healer~ - Chapter 6

Foreword

I made major changes to part of Chapter 5.

Asuku thinks the people of the White Church are a bunch of hardcore syndrome teens types; they’re the kind who would even try to kidnap a princess. Because of that, I changed the subtitle to “group of middle-school syndrome.” If you’re curious, you can go back and check the other chapters.

◇　◇　◇

I escorted Victoria back to the capital, shook off the guards who wanted to ask questions, and met up with my sister to explain what had happened.

“So, Princess Victoria was kidnapped by a group of middle-school syndrome?”

“Yeah. Big sister, I’ve got a goal now. I’m going to heal every single one of them. So that in the future, they won’t regret their mistakes.”

“…I see. Honestly, I don’t really care about that part. More importantly, what about Princess Victoria’s proposal? What did you say?”

“I politely declined.”

“Yeah, that’s fine… That princess, she’s more forward than she looks. We need to be careful.”

Well, to be honest, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little interested in Victoria’s big chest.

After a while, the carriage arrived in the capital.

It seemed like there was a commotion because Victoria had been returned, escorted by Faceless. The guards were busy dealing with it.

“Then, I’m going to the castle to meet Princess Christina. Asuku, you should go ahead to the academy and drop off your things first.”

“Being friends with a princess sounds tough.”

“She just wants to talk about Faceless. We’re not friends. Oh, and my things are going to be kept by the head of the girls’ dorm, so make sure you give them to her.”

“Alright.”

The Xylica Kingdom Royal Magic Academy wasn’t far from the castle.

The academy had various facilities. Boys’ and girls’ dorms, a library, a general store, and even a small forest for practicing magic.

But since I already mastered the highest-level healing magic, [Extra Heal], I thought I didn’t need to learn anything else.

…Or so I thought.

I realized I still needed to develop healing magic that works on the mind for the White Church people, and also further improve my body to control them if they went wild.

Alright, let’s do this.

“I’ve dropped off my stuff. Next is my big sister’s luggage.”

After unloading my things at the boys’ dorm, I headed toward the girls’ dorm where my sister would stay.

On the way, female students kept staring at me.

Well, it’s not every day a boy visits the girls’ dorm.

Being stared at like that is uncomfortable.

When I finally reached the girls’ dorm, someone unusual was standing at the entrance.

“…A shark?”

A shark was on land.

It had arms and legs, wore the academy uniform, and even had a skirt. The sight was surreal.

Other girls didn’t seem to notice, so maybe this was normal at a magic academy.

Better not make eye contact.

“Hey, can I talk to you for a second?”

Before I could ask, the shark spoke first.

Up close, those round eyes were kind of cute.

“Your shiny black hair and golden eyes… could you be Asuku ―The younger brother of Franc?”

“Oh? Are you an acquaintance of my big sister’s?”

“Acquaintance, we’re best friends.”

Best friends with that sister of mine?!

“That must be tough for you.”

“Huh? Why are you looking at me with sympathy?”

“Don’t worry about it. If you ever have trouble because of my big sister, I’ll help as much as I can.”

“Eh, um, yeah. Anyway, I’ll keep Franc’s luggage here for now.”

From what I gathered, this shark is apparently the head of the girls’ dorm my sister mentioned.

She efficiently carried my sister’s luggage into her room.

“Younger brother-kun, this suitcase feels weirdly light. What’s in it?”

“My big sister’s underwear and pads.”

“Ah, underwear and pads… pads!?”

“Pads.”

At this age, my sister was self-conscious about her chest and sometimes padded it way more than necessary.

But she acted so confidently that at first I didn’t even notice.

Is that how all girls are at this age?

The shark looked shocked. “Franc worries about that too… I didn’t expect it.” Anyway, the work was finished without any problems.

“That was quick. Oh, right. There’s still time before Franc arrives, so do you want me to give you a tour of the academy?”

“Really?”

“Of course. I got to look after cute underclassmen.”

“Thank you, Shark-senpai.”

“Ahaha, Shark-senpai? By the way, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Lucan Shahr. Just call me Lucan.”

Hmm, Lucan Shahr-senpai.

Somehow, the name fits her shark-like appearance.

“Lucan-senpai, are you a beastman?”

“Yeah. A shark is a fish, but I’m a beastman.”

“Yeah.”

As we walked through the academy grounds, we chatted casually.

Beastmen are people with animal features, like ears or tails. I’d heard they’re physically strong, but only a few of them can use magic…

“Lucan-senpai, can you use magic?”

“Of course. If I couldn’t, I wouldn’t be at a magic academy.”

“That makes sense.”

“Even though I might not look at it, I’m really good at water magic. In my third year, no one can beat me.”

“Well, you don’t look bad at all.”

“Ahaha, right.”

Water magic is really useful.

It can help with farming, solving water shortages, or just doing lots of things. It can even provide clean water for treating the sick or injured.

My sister can use simple water magic, too. Maybe I should learn it as well.

Then, Lucan-senpai suddenly stopped walking.

“By the way, what do you think of how I look?”

“I think you’re cute.”

“Cute, eh?”

“Your round eyes and the way your tail fin flaps from side to side when you walk.”

“That’s not exactly what I meant? I mean, do you find it weird or scary that a talking fish walks around like this?”

Does Lucan-senpai have some complexes about her appearance?

“No, not really.”

“Ah, ahaha, you say the same thing as Franc… Hey, can you come over here for a second?”

“Ah.”

Suddenly, she grabbed my arm and pulled me to the back of a building, where no one could see us.

Eh, what’s going on?

“Beastmen can control the magic inside their bodies to make themselves look more human or more like their animal side.”

“Really?”

“I only show my human-looking form to people I trust like you…”

“Oh.”

Then, in the next instant, Lucan-senpai was surrounded by smoke.

“Wh-what do you think of me in this form?”

“…Seriously?”

“Do I look weird? At the entrance ceremony, if I went in like this, I’d get strange looks from both boys and girls… I want your honest opinion, Asuku.”

“Well, people would probably look at you weirdly?”

“Ugh. D-does that mean I’m ugly?”

When the smoke cleared, a tall, beautiful woman stood before me.

Her hair was a bright blue tie in a ponytail, her eyes were a deep navy like the night sky, and her face was sharp and elegant. A shark tail extended from her waist, giving her a strong presence.

And her chest was large.

Comparable to Princess Christina, my sister, to the twin princesses. No matter how much my sister padded herself, she couldn’t beat this size.

“You’re very beautiful.”

“No, it’s fine. You don’t have to flatter me.”

“No, it’s not flattery. Lucan-senpai, you’re just so beautiful that everyone naturally looks at you.”

When I said that, Lucan-senpai’s eyes welled up with tears, and she grabbed my shoulder tightly.

“Asuku, you’re such a good kid. You even lied to protect my feelings…”

“Ah, you’re as complicated as my sister.”

After calming down somehow, Lucan-senpai gave me a tour of the academy.

She seemed troublesome, but she was a good person.

A few days later.

My first school life finally began, including my previous life.
