Chapter 234
Feeling irate and rushed after the distraction, I began to cast orbs, sticking them along the walls and creating an increase of light throughout the room. I shut off my own light spell and found myself able to see everything in the room much clearer as I allowed my eyes to adjust. My actions seemed to set off some of the other men too, who began to ignite torches and the like. With light came order, and then men finally started forming into groups.
“Ladies! To me!” Even though my voice echoed off the walls, with enough light, the girls were able to find me much quicker this time. “Come on, let’s distract this dragon.”
The group that was supposed to be headed up by Balrack was going against Carmine. Meanwhile, my group went full force against the dragon. I began to cast a steady stream of spells. First, of course, I healed the girls. Miki had taken the most damage, with numerous painful looking cuts and gouges that had left her grimacing in pain. After healing her, her tail perked up and then she leaned and kissed me before running off to fight.
“What do you want, Celeste?” I asked as I noticed her standing nearby, looking at me tearfully.
She raised her elbow, revealing a small scratch. “I need healing.”
My eyebrows twitched. “Do you really need healing, or did you just want a kiss?
“Geh… M-master… that…”
“How about I kiss the scratch? It’ll make it feel better and I won’t use any mana?”
Her eyes brighten. “A-as Master commands!”
She excitedly shrinks back down and flies into combat after I kissed her elbow. A moment later, Lydia limps toward me. She had a gash across her chest and is bleeding profusely. However, rather than looking pained, she has her fingers together and a blush on her face.
“M-master… I-I think I need a kiss to make it better.”
“A kiss!” I cried out. “You need healing, definitely healing!”
“I-I’ll be fine!”
“Moderate Heal! Moderate Heal!”
“C-can you kiss it now?” She said, pointing to the spot where her wound was.
With the blood gone, it was now just a scratch that ripped open her armor. In fact, it exposed the bottom of her boob and a sliver of pale skin of her stomach. It was actually somewhat sexy with her begging me to kiss it.
“M-master… I got a wound!” Miki came running back, holding a piercing wound in her shoulder.
“W-wait!” the realization just came to me. “Are you girls getting hurt just so I’ll kiss it?”
“M-master…” Lydia looked away.
“D-don’t be ridiculous…” Miki wouldn’t meet my eyes.
“Okay! Next girl who gets damaged and needs healing won’t get any kisses for a day!” I declared.
“Ah! I’m fine!” Lydia ran back into the fight.
“Just a flesh wound!” Miki turned and joined her.
I let out a sigh but then noticed that Terra was standing next to me. Her arm was missing!
“I too will refrain from using Master’s service, I’m interested in this kissing.”
“What? No! You’re getting healed! You need healing!”
I ended up chasing Terra around the cave, trying to put her arm back on. I just wanted to safely battle a dragon to the death. Why did things have to end up this way?
