Fu*k, my Hp is at 122. So, I quickly tried taking out HP potions from the ‘Inventory’ but as soon as I moved, I once again felt extreme pain.

After few moments, the pain gradually subsided.

But right now, I am unable to take out HP potions from the ‘Inventory’ and my HP will constantly keep on decreasing. So, I thought of something and asked system,

“System, is there a way for me to consume the HP potions without taking them out of the Inventory?”

‘ding’

‘Yes, host can switch on the (consume) function which is available only in (Inventory)’

‘Note: Consume function can only be used for materials or items that are stored in the (Inventory) and are consumable.’

‘Would you like to (Switch on) the consume function?’

‘(YES) or (NO)’

Of course, it’s a (YES).

I was relieved that there was such a useful function like this in the system. I was worried that system will again tell me something like – Yes, there is consume function available and it costs 10000 sikka. Would you like to buy it?

If it was like that. Then I would have cursed the system for being such a petty system.

Luckily, it was not like that. Which means that the system still has at least the basic humanity.

“Hey, Orochi I have brought your medicine.”

While I was praising the system, Armelia returned with a bowl in her hand.

She walked carefully but quickly. She came to my side and took out a spoon. She used the spoon to stir the liquid medicine in the bowl and started feeding me with it.

But as soon as the medicine entered my mouth, I felt that the medicine was slimy and bitter. Actually, it was very bitter and I wanted to spit that out, but somehow Armelia knew that and covered my mouth with her small hand.

“Orochi, you have to drink the medicine. I know it is bitter but it is important for you to recover. Or else your poison problem will be delayed more and it may even worsen. So, be obedient and drink the medicine.”

Shouted Armelia, while glaring at me.

I know, but I wanted to test what will happen, when I drink HP potion? But of course, I did not speak that out and gritting my teeth, I swallowed the slimy medicine. Because the HP and MP potion’s functionality cannot be leaked.

‘ding’

‘+20 Hp’

After a second, the system notification rang and I found that the slimy medicine gave me 20 HP.

This solves my doubt of how did I survive after staying unconscious for 2 months and that too without drinking any HP potion.

“Orochi, I know that the medicine might not taste good but you to drink this. So, once again open your mouth.”

Without waiting for me recover from the bitter taste, Armelia stuffed another spoon of slimy medicine in my mouth.

‘ding’

‘+21 HP’

‘ding’

.

.

After few minutes, finally the bowl which was full of medicine was empty and seeing this, I felt a sigh of relief.

After completely drinking the slimy medicine, I saw that I almost gained 560 HP.

This explains why my HP is so less and why I survived although I was unconscious for 2 months.

A day has 24 hours, which is equal to 1440 minutes. And considering that I lost 1 HP per minute, I lose 1440 HP per day. And while I was unconscious, I must have been fed 2-3 potions of this slimy medicine which more or less makes up for the lost 1440 HP.

Just thinking about that my life was dependent on the quality of medicine used and the fact that I was made to drink the medicine on time, made me sweat.

Like if the quality of medicine used was not good than due to the imbalance of HP gain and loss will result in my death in sleep.

And if by any chance, someone forgot to feed me medicine then that’s the worst situation.

So, I asked Armelia,

“Hey, Armelia. While I was unconscious, I must have been fed the medicine regularly, right?”

Armelia who was sorting out few items on a nearby table, replied,

“Yes, actually after we bought you here, we quickly cured you. But I had to regularly feed you the medicine because, after every few hours your face goes pale and it looks as if your face has lost all the blood. And only after drinking the medicine, will your face return to normal state. So, instead of giving this task to someone else, I regularly fed you medicine, because I don’t want any mishap like - forgot to feed you medicine or any other case, happen to you.”

Hearing this, again there was again surge warmth filled my heart. And I subconsciously replied,

“Hey, Armelia. If I was not in such a condition, then surely I would have given you a tight hug..”

But I quickly closed my mouth, because I felt awkward.

Armelia, who was sorting the table, almost dropped few items but she managed to react fast. She quickly arranged them and replied,

“No...no...I will not allow you to take advantage of me.”

With that Armelia quickly ran out of the room.

But I was able to see her red face for a moment, when she ran out of the room.
