Chapter 422 138 - You can mess with the healer - but when you try to mess with her patient... (part 2)

"Were you using magic, or let someone try using magic on you?"

"!!!"

Burushi couldn\'t care less about his awkward attempts to change the subject and walked right up to him, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and then pulled up his shirt and undershirt with the other.

The exposed skin was reddish as if the black-haired boy tried to scratch the impossible itch.

"Magic! Did you use it?! No way, right? You wouldn\'t be that stupid, right?!"

The blond heroine asked, barely controlling her voice.

"I didn\'t! I just..."

Zoemi shook his head before lowering apologetically.

"You just what?!"

"..."

Burushi stepped even closer, getting right in his face with accusation burning in her eyes.

"...I just... ate breakfast already..."

Zoemi opened his mouth but closed it almost immediately, and only spoke after a moment of hesitation.

"Why? I am your attendant and I am supposed to be you your meal – also, why would you eat anything earlier than usual? If you wanted something you should have contacted me through the sentinels!"

Burushi declared stepping back a bit – but she didn\'t let go of either the black-haired boy\'s wrist or his clothes, looking at the reddened skin with concern.

"How much does it hurt?"

She asked, without glancing up at the embarrassed boy\'s face.

"...it starting to hurt more, but it\'s not as bad as it was yesterday... yet..."

"...oh for fuck\'s sake..."

Zoemi admitted, making Burushi curse under her breath and roll her eyes while gritting her teeth.

"And you didn\'t wait for your medic\'s opinion or suggestions because...?"

She asked, breathing out slowly in an attempt to calm herself even a little bit.

"...well, you see..."

Zoemi sighed heavily and began awkwardly explaining when...

*click*

"Lord Zoemi, I am done with the dishes and there is still time before mistress wakes up so why don\'t I..."

The door to the room opened and a short brown-haired girl in a butler\'s uniform entered while speaking in a cheerful voice – but then froze for a moment when she saw the scene playing out in front of her.

She conveniently missed Patishi standing to the side with a tray and instead focused on what looked like Burushi disrobing Zoemi by force.

"Let go of him you little bitch!"

All of Teo\'s cheerfulness disappeared and she growled furiously, rushing at the blond girl without a second of hesitation before anyone could react...!

*SMACK*

...the last sentence was a lie – someone did react, and did so before Teo reached her target – it was Burushi herself!

Seeing Teo entering the blond heroine connected the dots before Teo even started the charge – she let go of Zoemi and instead took a step towards the approaching girl, hitting her square in the face with an open palm, producing a clear sound, and stopping the shocked girl right in her track.

"...you... what... you...! YOU...!"

Teo blinked a few times and touched her swelling cheek while tasting blood as Burushi\'s slap caused the inside part of her cheek to get cut against Teo\'s own teeth.

The brown-haired girl in the butler\'s uniform then stepped back, winding up for a revenge hit, and actually threw a punch at Burushi\'s face!

*WHOOM*

*WHAM*

*thump*

"...ooww... uuu... uuuwAAAAAAHHHHH...!"

What happened next was the repeat of the situation from the few hours in the past, almost, – a murky-black orb emerged from Burushi\'s shadow and swallowed Teo\'s hand, but since the hit was aimed at the blond-haired girl\'s face it was returned at the brown-haired girl\'s face, causing her to punch herself with all her not augmented strength and turning her own nose into a bloody pulp before plopping to the floor and bursting out in tears the next moment.

\'Eh? EEHH?! Teo?! Miss Burushi?!"

Poor Patishi who was observing everything from the side gasped in panic, all tearful, looking between the two girls.

"What the hell are the two of you

doing in my room?!"

Even Zoemi asked in anger, although his voice was muffled as he was speaking through his teeth since the pain was getting worse and worse even though his two sentinels were already doing their best to take away all the excess mana.

"Stop crying, you dumbass! What did you give Zoemi to eat, HUH?!"

Amongst all the forces to be reckoned with, a healer whose patient was being messed with by someone else had to be amongst the top ones – at least in terms of the strength of will – because instead of answering to either Patishi or Zoemi, Burishi grabbed the wailing Teo\'s shoulder and forced her up to glare into her eyes.

"Uuuuuugh...! Uuuuuu...! GH-AAAAAARRRGGGHHHH...!"

At first, the brown-haired girl only cried but then she screamed in pain when the blond heroine grabbed whatever bloody mess was left of her nose and crushed it even more.

"BURUSHI, STOP!"

"I ASKED YOU, WHAT DID YOU GAVE HIM!"

"GHAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH..."

Zoemi shouted and got to Burushi, grabbing her by the shoulders and pulling her away – but that only resulted in the blond girl shouting over him while pulling the howling with her.

"Burushi! Let go!"

Zoemi demanded, grabbing the heroine\'s hand and bringing her fingers off Teo\'s nose.

"O-only healthy food! The one that is supposed to...! To help with mana regeneration...!"

"...huh...?"

Still, when Teo wailed in pain, crying out the answer, the black-haired boy himself flinched and gasped in realization.

He finally understood why Burushi brought Patishi in with all types of different food...

"You fucking moron! I am his attenndnat and his personal medic! Until he is back to full health everything he eats and every treatment he goes through MUST be approved by me! Mega heal!"

The blond heroine held herself back from spitting at the brown-haired attendant but still ended up casting a reasonably powerful spell on her, healing all the damage done to her face.

"...ghh..."

"!!!"

Unfortunately, in the silence that befell the room, Zoemi was the one to make the first sound, and it was a whizz of pain that he couldn\'t hold back as his body bent in agony – which of course made the three girls in the room react.

Two of them – that is Patishi and Teo flinched in shock and worry...
