There's No Way the Hot Girls Would Fall for an Ordinary 'Healer NPC' Like Me! ~About How I'm Just Treating the Beat-Up Heroines, But For Some Reason Their Reactions Are Getting Really Weird~ - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: I’m Not the Protagonist

Whoa, calm down!

I’m a cool-headed guy. Back when my first crush rejected me, I only cried for three days, remember!

Yeah, let’s keep it cool.

“Pl-pl-please, come this way.”

Where’s the cool part, you idiot!

“Uu… thank you… very much…”

I guided Elfina toward the bed and had her sit down.

Whoa, this isn’t because I have any dirty motives or anything. It’s just that there’s only one bed in my house.

“Haa… haa… excuse me…”

Elfina was breathing heavily from her shoulders, like she couldn’t stand the pain anymore.

“Alright, please take your clothes off.”

“Eh?”

Huh?

Oh!

It’s because the healing only works if my hands touch directly.

It’s not like I want to see a beautiful girl’s skin or anything like that.

Besides, I’ve seen Elfina’s skin plenty of times in the game, and anyway, I don’t have the guts for that kind of thing.

Plus, right now I’m just an Ordinary NPC. If it was the protagonist, maybe, but I’m not expecting any convenient developments like that.

From experience, I know that hoping for stuff just ends up hurting more.

“Do… do I have to take them off…?”

“I need to check the wounds, and the effect won’t work unless I touch them directly.”

By now I had calmed down a bit, so I explained it to Elfina in a steady voice.

I want to help Elfina.

That’s my true feeling.

Even though it’s our first meeting in this world, I got pretty close to her while playing the game.

So I’d be in trouble if she died.

Just from what I could see, there were scrapes all over her body, and it was clear she was in pretty bad shape.

Scrapes aren’t something to take lightly.

If the bleeding doesn’t stop properly, it could be fatal, and if bacteria get in, her survival chances drop even more.

In this world with almost no real medicine, letting your guard down can cost you your life.

“I understand… uuu… please wait a moment.”

Maybe she understood my position, because Elfina started taking off her clothes.

Her translucent white skin was stained red with blood in places, and there were big bruises on her thighs and upper arms.

It looked really painful. Honestly, it was a miracle she was still alive with injuries like these.

“Please take off your underwear too.”

“Eh…?”

“I want to check the injury on your chest, and more importantly, the only way to heal it is by rubbing it directly with my hands.”

“……! …O-okay… but please be gentle…”

At some point, I was thinking more seriously about Elfina’s injuries than about seeing her naked.

And the moment she took off her bra, I was taken aback.

The center of her chest was badly dented, with raw marks from a heavy blow still visible.

Her lungs were probably crushed. No wonder she was breathing from her shoulders.

“Alright, here I go… I’m going to rub…”

“Yes…”

I placed both hands on the center of Elfina’s chest and started rubbing them outward in a spreading motion.

“Are you okay?”

“…It hurts… but… I’ll do my best…”

Hearing her say that so bravely made me push all stray thoughts aside and focus completely on the treatment.

I rubbed Elfina’s chest as gently as I could.

I covered her breasts with my palms like I was holding them, then moved them back and forth.

“Hau… ahn… hya…”

It must really hurt. Elfina’s nipples had been standing up for a while now.

So I made a little hollow with my palm and rubbed over them in a covering motion.

“Nn… ah… n-no… that…!”

Even if she said that, of course I didn’t stop.

If I interrupted the medical treatment now, Elfina would die.

“…Haa… it feels… a little easier…”

Good.

Looks like the chest area has healed for now.

“Next is your arm. Here I go… I’m going to rub…”

“…Y-yes…”

Elfina’s arm was really thin.

It felt like it would break if I gripped it too hard.

So I used as little strength as possible, sliding my palm from her wrist all the way up to her upper arm.

“Au… it might hurt a little… I think…”

Elfina looked a bit pained, but the wounds where I rubbed were healing up nicely.

“Alright, that should do it.”

I wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand and took a breath.

“Is it… over…?”

“No, I still have your lower body left.”

“Eh…?”

I traced my hand lightly over Elfina’s stomach, then grabbed her leg and started rubbing it with a squeezing motion.

Honestly, I was getting pretty tired.

Elfina’s chest and arms were so soft that my fingers felt like they were about to cramp.

If you do some open-close hand exercises, you’ll know how I feel.

This is surprisingly tough.

“Au… I’m sorry… for making you go this far…”

“It’s fine. (I’m used to it from the old folks.)”

“……”

I wonder why.

For a second, it looked like Elfina frowned.

Nah, must be my imagination.

It’s probably just because it hurts.

This time I moved my hands slowly upward along Elfina’s leg.

“Nn… ah… s-sorry… for making weird sounds…”

“It’s okay. (The old folks) all do that too.”

“……”

Here we go.

Following the chest, the place where Elfina was especially hurt was her thighs and the area connecting to her groin—in other words, the inguinal region.

Gulp.

I swallowed hard and placed my hand on Elfina’s groin.

“Nn… ah… hya… th-that spot… is a little… weird…”

Then I slowly rubbed the inguinal area with a massaging motion.

My hand felt a bit wet, but it must be my imagination.

There’s no way Elfina would get turned on by a mob NPC like me.

“Nn… ah… when you touch… there…”

Alright, done.

From the looks of it, all of Elfina’s injuries had completely healed.

“It’s finished.”

When I spoke, Elfina, who was breathing hard, somehow looked like she was in pain.

“More… just like that…”

“Huh?”

“No, it’s nothing…”

Heh, still, my ability is pretty impressive.

Elfina had been on the verge of death, and now there wasn’t a single wound left on her.

But for some reason, Elfina was sweating.

…

I’m the one who’s tired, you know.

I wanted to say that, but the treatment must have hurt that much.

I helped Elfina put her clothes back on and walked her to the entrance.

“Can I come again?”

“Yes, come anytime if you get hurt.”

Hehe, I’m sure my image in her mind is now firmly set as just a convenient healer.

Well, it can’t be helped.

After all, I’m not the protagonist.
