The Otherworld Was Way Too Brutal – After I Healed the Mutilated Girl, She Turned Into a Completely Obsessed Yandere Guard Dog - Chapter 17

Chapter 17

But wait a sec.

What’s with the “(small)” part?

I squinted hard to check the details.

Then a new pop-up window appeared.

――――――――

Regenerate lost organs (small)

・Limited to relatively small organs like fingers, ears, eyes, nose, etc.

・Regeneration of larger parts like limbs is not possible.

――――――――

“……So arms and legs are still no go, huh.”

I bit my lip.

Looks like full limb regeneration needs a higher level.

But.

“Eyes……”

Yeah.

It said eyes right there in the description.

Tsugumi’s left eye lost its light.

The whole eyeball got messed up by the magic beast, and she can’t see out of it anymore.

This—I can fix this.

Even if limbs are still out of reach, I can bring light back to her.

“What’s up, Jin?”

“Cattleya! We’re heading home! Gotta hurry back!”

“Did your level go up?”

“Yeah! Hands and feet are still impossible, but I’ve got more stuff I can heal now!”

I yelled it out and took off running without even waiting for Cattleya’s answer.

I needed to get to Tsugumi as fast as possible.

I wanted to give her this hope right away.

All the tiredness? Gone. Blown away.

I sprinted full speed all the way home.

I basically kicked the door open.

“Tsugumi!”

When I burst into the room, Tsugumi was still curled up in bed in the exact same position as this morning.

She jumped at my sudden return, her body flinching hard as she lifted her face.

“Jin……?”

“Tsugumi, look at me.”

I rushed to the bedside without even kicking off my shoes.

I was out of breath, covered in blood.

Tsugumi’s face showed a little fear.

“Blood…… Did you get hurt……?”

“Don’t worry about me. More important—your eye.”

I cupped Tsugumi’s face gently with both hands.

Her left eye was cloudy white, no focus at all.

An old wound from the magic beast.

“Stay still, okay. I’m gonna heal it right now.”

“……Huh?”

“My level went up. If it’s just this left eye, I might be able to fix it.”

Tsugumi sucked in a sharp breath.

Her pupil shook hard.

“R-really……?”

“Yeah. Trust me.”

I took a deep breath.

I gathered my magic power.

I focused harder than ever before and pictured it.

The cloudy lens, the damaged optic nerve—rebuilding them into how they’re supposed to be.

“<Repair Evolve>”

Bright light poured out from my palm.

It was stronger, warmer, more sacred than any light I’d ever seen before.

“Aghaaaaaaaahhh……!!”

Tsugumi screamed from the pain.

But that was proof it was working.

I could feel the tissue squirming and regenerating deep in the eye socket.

I could tell my magic power was getting drained like crazy.

But that’s fine.

I’d give her every last drop.

I grabbed Tsugumi’s hand.

She squeezed mine back hard through the pain.

The light started to fade.

I slowly let go of her face.

“Tsugumi…… Can you open your eye?”

I asked it carefully.

Tsugumi’s closed eyelid trembled.

Her long lashes quivered.

And then, slowly, her left eye opened.

The white cloudiness was gone.

There was a clear, amethyst-colored eye just like the right one.

“…………Ah.”

Tsugumi muttered in a daze.

She tried to touch her right eye with her left hand—then realized it wasn’t there, so she brought her remaining right hand up instead.

“I can see……”

“You can see?”

“Yeah…… I can see, I can see…… Jin, I can see you so clearly……”

Big tears started spilling from Tsugumi’s eyes.

They weren’t tears of sadness.

They were tears of pure joy.

“Amazing…… The colors, the light…… I can see everything, everything……!!”

Still sobbing, she threw herself into my arms.

“Thank you…… Thank you, Jin……!”

I hugged her back tight.

Thank god.

Really, thank god.

I still haven’t given her back her hands and feet.

But even so, I brought light back to her world.

That alone made all the blood I spilled worth it.

“Congrats.”

A voice came from the doorway.

Cattleya had come back at some point and was standing there with a gentle smile.

“You two are both looking really good right now.”

At Cattleya’s words, I wiped my tears and nodded with a grin.

Tsugumi looked over at Cattleya too—her face all messy from crying—and for the first time, she gave her a small bow.

No words.

But there was no hostility in her eyes anymore.

Just clumsy, awkward gratitude toward the person who helped save them.

Still—I’ve gotta keep leveling up.

Next up, hands and feet.

I’m definitely getting everything back for her.

Looking into Tsugumi’s shining eyes, I swore it to myself all over again.
