Chapter 46
Ready to heal
“Ah.”
And I said it like Shaw noticed something. Hal is back in his room once after an unexpected tea party. The mentor and Shaw, Falco and Leon also stay in church today. Dredd went home with Lyla. He only comes back once in a while, so it’s just a base.
“Sometimes cleaning is a hassle and staying in a room.”
and Lyla snuck up on me.
“I was here to treat Michal in the first place, but I forgot”
To Shaw, who said so, Linus also said as he noticed.
“It was. You bothered to ask your mentor to come. Though you’ve healed me half the time.”
“Hmm? Me? You didn’t do anything, did you?
Shaw tilted his neck. The mentor held Shaw’s shoulder and bragged this way.
“This is the healer who recently healed the famous heart of Deep Forest.”
“Was the rumor true”
“No, I’m exaggerating.”
Shaw lit up. The mentor is familiar. The mentor looked down at Shaw and said to Linus:
“I think Hal should give Shaw a look.”
“To this child? But you’re still a young man.”
“Excellent though. He has participated three times as an apprentice in summer hunting, and sometimes he goes to other towns with me.”
“Well, that’s excellent”
Linus looked at the show as impressed.
“Above all, the same home, about the same year. Perhaps you can heal in more detail than we do.”
“Did you still get it”
“Um, shoulder and clavicle injuries aren’t the only ones”
Shaw had noticed that too. I can see the glow of my soul when I touch my body. But as many people healed, those who were badly injured or ill were beginning to see that they were not even alive when they looked at them. Even young Shaw and Alfie do, so it is not unlikely that anyone as experienced as a mentor will.
That’s why Linus looked at Shaw and narrowed his eyes to the brilliance, and he was heartbroken by Hal’s weakened appearance.
“If it’s okay with me, I’ll do it, Master Sein, Mr. Linus”
Even Shaw has healed many people.
“But Hal’s losing strength in the first place. I’m going to heal the bigger part of the journey first, but I’m going to put the rest back together a little bit.”
“Will you do that?”
“Yes.”
Shaw nodded firmly. Hal said he was going to cure himself.
“Besides, Shaw”
“Yes, Master Sein”
“I feel like I should go home early.”
“Why”
Linus said this to Shaw tilting his neck.
“I’ll explain that.”
What does it mean?
“I mean, pity, but if Hal finds out he’s healed, it could be used again. On the contrary, Shaw, you may even want to.”
“I?”
“Because it would be useful if you were young and had a good healer to listen to. If Shaw and Hull take each other hostage, they’ll be unable to move.”
“No way, no way”
“I want to think I won’t. But a decent person can’t let a child out on a decoy, let alone leave him alone if he gets hurt. Something’s wrong.”
Linus said seriously.
“Not so much”
“Yes, mentor”
“Hmm.”
The mentor put his hand on his chin and thought of something.
“But you can’t keep a secret that I’m here either. Hal decides to take him to the deep forest for treatment. And in the days leading up to your trip, let’s see how the other churches are doing around.”
“Please”
That night was dinner at the church. Dinner was luxurious as Shaw served rare ingredients such as croissant lizards and honeysuckles.
For dessert, a small apple from the deep forest was served.
Hal should have had a lot of snacks earlier, but somehow I felt I could eat more than usual. When I look up from the table, the people of Deep Forest are looking forward to the story on the road. Linus never allowed Hal to eat alone, but even this church felt like it wasn’t where he was supposed to be, and he always felt lonely.
“Yummy……”
To little Hull’s twinkle, Leon said this with a shrugged laugh.
“With Shaw, you can’t break a snack.”
Shaw has his right thumb up all the way. Together, my mouth moved. Hal also raised his right thumb a lot. Everyone noticed that the edge of that mouth was faintly up, but no one said anything about it.
After the meal, before going to bed at night, Shaw visited Hull’s room with his mentor.
“Shaw? What’s wrong?
Hal, surprised, invited me into the room. Nothing, it’s a guest room.
“Didn’t you hear? I’m here to treat Michal.”
“I heard your mentor was going to heal you.”
“I’m an excellent healer apprentice too, and it’s between girls, and I was wondering if I should do it”
Hal looked down a bit.
“I wonder if I should cure it”
“Hal?”
“Shaw told me to go to the deep forest with you, but it was the dean of the college who kept me. He’s a powerful man. When it heals, I’m sure I’ll try to take you hunting again. I don’t like it anymore.”
“You just have to shut up.”
“Shut up?
“It’s healed. You just have to keep it to yourself. Because I’m going to take you to the deep forest and cure you.”
“Are you lying?
“Yeah.”
“It’ll blow…”
“You just have to look down and keep quiet. And then the mentor will do it.”
Hal looked at the mentor. Mr. Linus was sweet. Others were indifferent.
“If you’re anxious about Shaw, I’ll fix it, but Shaw’s probably better. And then, I’m a powerful man, too. You can’t beat the Dean of the Academy.”
“Why not?”
Hal mistook the word for once.
“Why are you so kind to me?”
