I Was a Crazy, Berserker-Type Dungeon Streamer, but When I Helped a Beautiful Dungeon Streamer and Treated Her Politely, It Was Revealed That I Was Actually a Normal Person - 37-38

Chapter 37: H-He’s Still Alive, Right…?

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“I will begin right away… 『Sensation Sharing』『Body Possession』.”

Two magic circles appeared beneath my feet and at the same time, I suddenly became unable to move my body. I couldn’t even move a single finger, and I was unable to utter a word. However, the sensation of standing there was still present.

So this is the power of Master’s magic… It really makes me glad I’m not his enemy. 

“Now, I will cast an intermediate level magic spell.”

Master’s voice resonated in my mind as my own. It was a strange sensation. Master extended my hand forward and began to manipulate the magic energy. What usually took me about 10 seconds to gather magic at my fingertips was completed in less than 2 seconds.

“〈Fire Lance〉”

A magic circle was rapidly drawn in my mind and at the same time, a huge spear of flame was released from my fingertips. It took only 0.5 seconds from gathering magic to casting the spell. In total, it didn’t even take 3 seconds to cast this magic. 

“Hmm… Just as I expected. Because this is the body of a human, it takes a longer time to manipulate the magic power.”

What?! This person… Is he a monster?!

“I will give it another go… 〈Flame Dragon〉”

This time, two magic circles appeared simultaneously in my mind and flame dragons about the size of my body flew from both hands, flying toward the target and burning everything in its path. 

“This is multi-casting. I expect you to at least master this much through this training. And lastly—”

Master once again raised both hands.

“We’ll do two types at once! …〈Thunderbolt〉〈Body Strengthening〉”

This time, two types of magic circles, one yellow and one white, were deployed at the same time. 

What’s this? My body feels so light and… I can feel some sort of static shock…?

“〈Thunderbolt〉is a lightning type intermediate level magic spell that adds electric current to your close-range attacks and 〈Body Strengthening〉, well, as the name suggests, it’s a intermediate level magic that enhances your body. These two spells will certainly be very useful for your combat style.”

Indeed. My punches would be greatly enhanced with this electric current. Moreover, since my combat style put a lot of strain on my body, 〈Body Strengthening〉 was something I desperately needed. 

“Well, that’s about it.〈Release〉.”

“Woah?!”

Suddenly, I could move my body again. The abrupt shift caused me to lose my balance. 

“Oh, my bad… So, how was it? Did you get the hang of it now?”

“Yeah…”

I recalled the sensation from earlier. I gathered magic power into my fingertips. The process was going more smoothly than before and within seconds, I began to create the magic circle in mymind. 

I can do it, I can do it, I can do it!

“〈Fire Lance〉!”

In an instant, flames burst from my fingertips, taking the shape of a spear. Then it flew in the direction I aimed for and…

“Alright!!”

It hit the target. This was just the beginning. From here on, I started learning new intermediate level magic spells one after another.

　――――――

Senavia’s POV

“〈Icicle〉!!!”

The second shot of the icicle finally hit him, piercing through his abdomen. 

“Did he finally die…?”

I wasn’t sure if he had only lost his consciousness or did he actually die, but he remained completely still on the ground. Blood continued to flow from the wound in his abdomen, and even if he were still alive, death was surely imminent.

“But still, was it a mistake to kill him here? The house is covered in blood now. 

Scanning the room, I noticed the floor was soaked with blood and there was a large bag lying on the ground.

“A bag…?”

The bag was probably his, but… How strange. If he came here to peep on me, why would he bring such a large, heavy bag with him? The bag would only be a deadweight for him. Or… Could it be, he came to rob me?

Well, it doesn’t matter anymore though. Alright! Time to clean up! First, let’s put this filthy corpse in a bag and burn it.

I went to the closet  and grabbed a large burlap sack, then started stuffing him into it. But then, I noticed something silver fell to the floor as I did so. 

“Hm… what is this?”

Out of curiosity, I picked it up and examined it closely. It looked like a key. But somehow, this shape seemed strangely familiar…

“Wa-Wait?! This is the key to my house!”

There was no doubt about it. Based on the shape of the key, this was definitely the key to my house.

…Huh? But why is the key to my house in his hands…? There’s only one key to this house and I should be the one holding it….

“Well, whatever! He must be dead by now, considering how much time has passed since his stomach was pierced!”

Do-Don’t tell me… No, no. There’s no way. I mean, the lights are on. There’s no way he could have entered someone else’s house by mistake.

Just as I was about to focus and stuff him back into the burlap sack, I heard a voice.

“Hey, Senavia, are you free for a moment?”

“Ahh!?”

I jumped in shock from the sudden telepathic call and fell onto my backside.

“What’s wrong? Are you doing something shady right now?”

“H-Huh?? What are you talking about?! There’s no way I would be doing something shady!’

Yeah! Trying to kill him and burn his body isn’t shady! It’s not shady at all! After all, he was the one who broke into my house!

“Is that so? Well, I have a favor to ask of you…”

“What is it? Hurry up and tell me. I want to clean this body… No! I mean, I want to clean this garbage! This garbage, yeah!”

“Ah, so you’re in the middle of cleaning. I apologize for interrupting. Anyway, it’s about the boy that came here today. I gave him a place to sleep, but I forgot to give him food. It’s already quite late, so there are no stores open at this hour. I’d like you to give him something to eat.”

“W-What?! There’s no way I’m doing any of that!”

Be-Besides, he’s already dead…

“Is that so? Well, that’s a shame. In that case, I suppose I will bring him food myself. I believe I’ve given him the vacant house next to yours.”

“The house next door?”

“Yeah, that’s right. That should be fine for you, right?”

“U-Umm…”

Doubts began to swell within me. The large bag stuffed to the brim with his belongings… The key to my house that he had for some reason… The fact that he was allowed to borrow the house next door…. 

Co-Could it be….?

“He-Hey, you didn’t possibly give him the key to the house with the red roof, did you…?”

The question flowed out of my mouth before I realized it. Had I just pretended not to notice, everything would’ve been easier for me…. 

No. But then, I will carry the lingering guilt that I might have killed an innocent person. The guilt would’ve been even more painful for me. 

“…Ah, I think I did? Senavia, you’re living in the house with the brown roof next to the house with the red roof, right?”

“-?!?!?!?! I-I-I-I-I told you last month! I’ve moved to the house with the red roof because that house was in tatters!”

I could feel the blood rushing out from my face. 

“….I-I see. I forgot.”

I nervously glanced at the bloodied figure lying on the ground.

H-he’s still alive, right…?

Chapter 38: I WILL NEVERRRRRR FORGIVE YOU!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“〈High Heal〉!!!”

With my face turning pale, I hurriedly cast a healing spell on him, who had been reduced into a corpse. That should be enough to at least close the hole in his stomach. 

Let’s check just to be sure… He’s still alive, right…?

I I touched his neck to check for a pulse and brought my ear close to his mouth to confirm his breathing.

“He’s alive…! He still has a pulse and he’s still breathing!”

As expected of a cockroach—no, wait. As expected of an adventurer.

However, there was one major concern we had now. The spell I just used couldn’t restore his internal organs. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before he died. 

“Umm… Umm… Ah! That’s right! I have that potion!”

I dashed to the storage room. It was a very rare potion, so I had hidden it around here to make sure no one could steal it, but—

“There it is!”

I brought it to his lips and poured it into his mouth.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

However, he spat it out.

“H-Hey! Just drink it already!”

What should I do…? I just need to get him to drink this potion to save his life, but he won’t swallow it… 

Grandpa Zero might be able to heal his internal organs with advanced magic, but since he couldn’t use teleportation magic, it would take him at least ten minutes to get here. By then, this man might already be dead.

A single thought crossed my mind. It was a method I absolutely didn’t want to do unless I really, really, really didn’t have any other choice, but right now… I couldn’t think of anything else. 

“UGH! DAMN IT! That old geezer… I WILL NEVERRRRRR FORGIVE YOU!!!”

Frustrated, I took the potion into my own mouth and brought my lips close to his.

　――――――

“Haa… Haa… Ugh, just remembering it makes me feel sick…”

I rinsed my mouth over and over again at the sink and then, I scrubbed my lips furiously. 

To think my first time was with a human…

I really wanted to die. After spending more than thirty minutes washing my lips, I returned to the living room to check on him. 

“Haa… I feel like shit and yet, here you are. Sleeping so peacefully with that stupid face of yours.”

The boy was resting on the sofa, looking completely at ease. His breathing was calm and steady. For some reason, just watching him sleep made me want to punch him. 

“Hmm? What’s this?”

While walking through the living room, my foot bumped into something like a notebook. It seemed during the commotion earlier, some of the items from his bag got scattered across the living room floor. I picked it up, wanting to put it back into his bag, but…

“‘The Basics of Streaming’…? What’s this supposed to mean?”

The notebook had “The Basics of Streaming” written on the cover.

Streaming…? What is that? I’ve never heard of that word before… Maybe this notebook is full of his secret plans…?

The curiosity got the better of me, so I opened the notebook. 

“Try to use a strong tone and make provocative remarks whenever possible…?”

The heck?!

I quickly flipped through more pages. The next notebook was titled “Examples of Controversial Remarks.”

“Shitty small fry… Inferior creature… Conniving….?”

Which reminded me, ‘conniving’ was the word he had used earlier when he mocked the elves. 

So… He said that on purpose? But why?

Curious, I turned the page again.

“This is…”

The last page was filled with intricate magic circles for intermediate-level spells.

Wait a second… All of these magic circles… Aren’t they magic circles for 〈Fire Lance〉?

I had even less of an idea what he was trying to do now. But there was one thing I had realized.

He doesn’t have any hostility or malicious intent toward us.

Sure, he wanted to run away, that part was true and yeah, he complained a lot, but… He didn’t seem nearly as bad as the humans who had attacked us ten years ago.

“Aargh, seriously! That shitty old man!! I’ll never, ever, ever forgive him!”

I swore to myself that I would beat him senseless and ask the most unreasonable demands from him as payback.
