The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 103

“It doesn’t hurt, grandson-in-law. Also, the fatigue in my body has healed… Could it be that you can use healing, grandson-in-law?”

Huh? I told Kaori that it could be used, but I wonder if she didn’t tell her family?

“Yes. That’s right.”

I nod honestly, thinking it wouldn’t make sense to cover it up here.

“Wha, what?!”

Grandmother widened her eyes and brought her face closer. She seemed very, no, quite surprised, but if someone approached me with that kind of face, I would be surprised too. Mil-san is also fidgeting.

“Um…”

But, was this a mistake? I don’t really get the chance to use healing properly, but even when I did, no one said anything, so I didn’t think it was that unusual… No, I did hear from the ability teacher that it was a rare psychic ability. But I thought that was because I was a guy…

“Grandson-in-law! How’s your health? Are you okay?”

Grandmother suddenly started patting my body. For a moment, I didn’t understand her actions, but I quickly realized she was worried about me.

“Um, I’m fine, really…”

“I see. Then, that’s good.”

Grandmother slowly moves away from me with a relieved expression.

“Actually…”

According to grandmother, healing can treat illnesses and injuries (with differences depending on the practitioner’s skill level and proficiency), but it requires a long rest afterward and consumes a lot of mental energy. That’s why each healer at the clinic can only see a few patients. Therefore, they only handle appointments for reservations.

However, even with such healing, depending on the injury or illness, a single session may not be enough for a complete cure. After that, even if they make a reservation, it often takes several months, so it seems they end up going to a regular hospital.

Even so, there are many people who seek spiritual healing because injuries that would normally take a month to heal can be cured in a week, and even serious illnesses that are beyond conventional treatment can be treated.

I’ve never been, so I don’t know, but it seems that medical treatment (psychic therapy) is covered by insurance and they only have to pay 30%, so it doesn’t get that expensive.

“Grandson-in-law, thank you, thank you. However, it pains me more if something happens to you. Please don’t push yourself too hard.”

The reason grandmother is so worried is that when she previously received treatment at the psychic healing clinic, the doctor happened to fall into a state of psychic exhaustion and collapsed.

That teacher seemed to have been pushing themselves quite hard and at one point ended up in a dangerous condition.

So, it seems grandmother was worried that I, having used healing, might collapse from mental exhaustion.

But I’m totally fine. This is thanks to my daily training. Mil-san said that if I trained, my psychic power would increase slightly, and if I got used to using my psychic ability, I could reduce the consumption of psychics a bit.

Actually, I feel like I’m not consuming much mental energy. It’s just a feeling. I won’t tell grandma because she might worry.

“Yes. I will be careful not to overdo it.”

“Um.”

After that, grandmother watched us train with a happy expression for a while, but when she received the news that Kaori and the others had returned home, she called out to us and went over there.

“Hmm. My worries seem to be unfounded; it appears that my grandson-in-law’s mental strength is very high.”

Their footsteps seemed very light.

I wonder if Kaori will get scolded… Hmm. But grandmother’s demeanor. She doesn’t seem like the type to talk to anyone about it… Maybe it’ll be okay.

What a naive thought. When night fell and we were informed that the sukiyaki was ready, Kaori, Mil-san, and I headed to the large room, but it was quite noisy.

Huh? Is there someone who’s already drunk…? While thinking about that, I entered the large room.

“Grandson-in-law, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”

As soon as I entered the large room, I was met with an apology from grandmother, but before I could ask the reason, I was surrounded by my mother-in-law and others, and Kaori and Mil-san were also surrounded by relatives.

“Um, what on earth is this…”

“Ta-ke-to-kun. I want you to give me healing too.”

“!?!”

The moment I turn my face towards grandmother, she instinctively turns her face away. She’s talking, isn’t she?

It’s fine, but is mother-in-law feeling unwell or something?

“No, I’m very well. Oh? That puzzled look on your face, Taketo-kun really doesn’t understand, do you? Look at my mother’s (grandmother’s) skin, can’t you see?”

I was surprised when I heard from mother-in-law. Apparently, the healing I did for grandmother had an effect on her skin as well, as her fine wrinkles had diminished and her skin had regained some firmness and luster, making her look a bit younger. This led to a huge commotion, putting the sukiyaki on the back burner.

Especially the grandmother’s sisters and daughters (mother-in-law and aunt). Concerned about skin age… Ah, mother-in-law. Was she thinking something inappropriate just now? No, no. Not at all.

Since she already looks younger than her age (due to telekinesis), I tried to brush it off as just my imagination, but it seems that didn’t work.

“That’s completely different,” she said with a smile, but the pressure was intense. Unable to hold back any longer, I decided to rely on grandmother. “It might deplete my psychic energy, so it’s not good, right?”

“I’m sorry.”

I was once again turned away by grandmother.

“Hey everyone, Taketo-kun is in trouble… Mil-san thinks so too, right?”

“Yes, Madam Kaori.”

Kaori and Mil-san tried to stop everyone, but after being bombarded with questions from everyone and receiving envious looks, they shrank back.

I had gotten used to seeing the two of them, so I hadn’t noticed, but Kaori and Mil-san’s skin was always smooth and radiant.

Of course, it’s because of the healing I was using during training…

“Taketo-kun. Please.”

“Yes.”

Women were more greedy for “beauty” than I had thought.

In the end, I ended up giving everyone healing, and while I was continuously healing without rest, grandmother collapsed from mental strain, muttering “I’m sorry” repeatedly, so I gave her healing again.

But I think it was good to do the healing. I was a little afraid of running out of psychic energy, but it didn’t happen. Except for the children, most people had stiff necks and shoulders (the Nohara family has large chests), and some were ill, but I was able to cure them completely.

Since only one person had a burn scar on their left hand, I tried to make it disappear. It consumed quite a bit of my mental energy, but it vanished beautifully, and I was surprised myself. I was reminded once again of how amazing healing is.

If I keep doing that, this year will soon come to an end.

In a certain program, Utako-san was energetically counting down, and in a hurry, Kaori and Mil-san joined hands, and everyone jumped together in sync.

And so, we welcomed the New Year.
