"I know! Hehe! It'll be done soon!"
Her face still slightly swollen, Hada Anna listened to the gentle voice by her ear, so sweet it made her heart feel cloying. A sweet smile spread across her face, joy bursting from her eyes. It was as if everything that had just happened, even Hada Ryuhiko's injuries, could no longer disturb her happy mood. After giggling foolishly, she spoke.
You silly girl.
Watching Hada Anna beam as though she had forgotten all pain, Hada Ryuhiko wore a relieved smile as well.
Hm? Then, a flash of surprise crossed his face, and his gaze suddenly shifted to the wound at his waist and ribs.
The sunken wound, still oozing blood and deep enough to nearly expose bone, had completely healed. Other than the tender, smooth skin at the site of the injury, like that of a newborn baby, there was no trace that he had been wounded.
If not for his torn clothes and the blood that had not been wiped away, he would have looked completely uninjured.
Even the bone-splitting pain in his back had vanished without a trace. It was as if the injuries he had suffered when he smashed through several rocks and carved a crater into the solid stone had been completely healed as well.
Honestly, if Anna had not been pressed tightly against him right then, he would have nearly jumped to his feet.
"Take this Blood-Increasing Pill. You lost a lot of blood."
At that moment, Hada Anna pulled away from him, found a pill in her Ninja Tool Pouch, and stuffed it straight into his mouth.
"And this is a Ration Ball. It tastes a little bad, but it replenishes nutrition and works well with the Blood-Increasing Pill."
As she spoke, Hada Anna lowered her head.
