Chapter 94: Let’s Fully Heal Rina
"You’re back, Master. Long journey, I’m sorry."
"Yeah, I need you to prepare dinner and a bath. The number of people has increased by about two from the original plan, so please adjust the meal."
"Understood."
The person who greeted Lord Fenberg had an air of a proper butler.
We were led to the Coluna Frontier Count house’s separate residence in the capital by Flora-san and Luciana-chan.
"It looks far more luxurious than I imagined."
"That’s because it’s the capital. As a frontier count, we can’t afford to prepare anything shameful. Being noble is really troublesome."
Lord Fenberg let out a deep sigh.
"Haha, well, rest and recover from the long journey at your leisure. I’ll have a bath prepared before dinner. First, I’ll show you to your rooms. Please unpack your luggage and prepare."
"I’m sorry for the trouble."
"Careful, Yabe-dono. You’re a guest of the Coluna Frontier Count house. We can’t have you being too stiff."
Lord Fenberg laughed heartily.
"Ohh, so this is Yabe-sama. We’ve heard much about you. Then I’ll show you to your rooms right away... The extra person is the girl and the knight, correct? How should we assign the rooms?"
"I’ll take care of Master-sama, so I’d be happy if I could stay in the corner of Master-sama’s room."
"Ah, the guy in the red armor, Gerdon, can have a single room? Rina can stay with Yabe-sama, but when it comes to sleeping, she has to sleep with Irina and Sarina."
"Fueh!?! I don’t mind sleeping on the floor, so please put me right beside you!"
Rina-chan was desperately appealing.
Irina, stop filling your eyes with tears and yanking out the handkerchief to appeal. It’s no use. Besides, you’re the one who slipped into my bed when we slept at my home.
"Well, let’s set that aside for now. For now, let’s unpack in your room and have a bath. Of course after the Coluna Frontier Count house members."
"Ah, don’t worry about it. There’s a private bath for guests, so we’ll guide you there as soon as it’s ready."
"Oh, as expected of the Coluna frontier count. They have a guest-only bath."
"I’m honored."
"Then let’s go to the rooms."
We were shown to the guest rooms and took a breather.
"Now then..."
Irina and Luciana were unpacking in their assigned rooms. Gerdon had a single room. And Rina-chan was with me in my room.
"Master-sama, is there anything I can do to help?"
She seemed eager to work as a slave right away. There was no need to push her.
But well, she probably wouldn’t be able to at first. Judging by her current condition, she must think that if she slips up, she’ll be thrown away immediately.
"I want to try something first. Lie down on your back on this bed? I’m sorry, but please take off the clothes you’re wearing."
There was a hint of forbidden feeling, but I conveyed it without thinking.
"Fueeeh!? Right away!? Understood... p-please be gentle..."
Rina-chan’s face turned bright red as she took off her clothes and lay on her back. She covered her chest with her right hand, but her left arm was somehow supporting her. Judging from the way Rina-chan moved before, her injured left arm hadn’t moved above her shoulder.
"Now then, if it hurts, tell me. Theoretically it should be painless and work."
"Fueeeh~! I-It’s fine! I’ll endure any pain to become one with Master-sama!"
"Then you’re up?!"
"Hahaha, yes!"
I extended two tentacles.
"M-M-Master-sama!? W-What is that...!?"
"Well, leave it to me."
I placed the tentacles on Rina-chan’s left face, which was badly damaged. I learned that when I used slime dialysis to treat blood in Felbane, I could assimilate slime cells into the target and proceed from the inside, and the target wouldn’t feel pain. Pain is just one sensation, an electrical signal. So if I don’t generate it, it would be fine. Then, with control through swirling energy and the universal slime cells’ instructions, it should work.
I assimilated the tentacles into the severely damaged left side of Rina-chan’s face. I assimilated the remaining and mutated parts, taking the original body information from Rina-chan’s cell data. Then I used the acquired data to mutate the slime cells.
Finally, I filled in the gouged-out parts with slime cells and created proper tissue after assimilating the mutated cells in the wounds.
And so the miracle happened. The wounds disappeared completely, leaving only smooth skin.
The damaged cheek meat, eyeballs, and ears also regenerated.
"Fueeeh!? The left side of my face feels warm, and... Master-sama’s face is clearly visible! I could barely see with my left eye gone!"
When the left eye was lost, the field of vision narrowed and the right eye was burdened. Now that the left eye had returned and both eyes could capture things, vision was restored.
Next, I extended a tentacle to her left shoulder and assimilated the cells. For the gouged muscle, I injected slime cells.
There were no wounds on the torso or lower body, so treatment should be complete, right?
I looked at the healed Rina-chan again...
Crap! She’s incredibly cute! I feel like my perverted nature is waking up!
"Fueeeh!? Fueeeh!? Fueeeh!?"
Rina-chan patted her own face with both hands, confirming there was no scar on her left side, and was shocked that her left hand moved smoothly.
"Fueeeeeeeeeen! Goshujin-sama!"
She cried her heart out.
"H-Hey hey..."
Rina-chan jumped off the bed and hugged me tightly while crying.
"What happened, Yabe? What’s wrong... Nnn!?"
Irina burst into the room. Sarina was with her. And I was being hugged by a completely naked Rina-chan crying her heart out.
"Kyaa!"
Irina suddenly pulled out the handkerchief in her mouth and made a weird noise, eyes full of tears.
What if she starts calling me "that fox woman!"?
"Yabe-sama, what happened...?"
Luciana-chan also came running to the commotion.
She was petrified by the Medusa’s gaze.
"Y-Y-Yabe-sama, you’re a loli-con!?"
"Who says that!?"
I firmly denied Luciana-chan’s horrible wet-clothes statement.
"Eh?"
Irina let out a startled voice when I yelled "Key!"
"Eh?!"
Sarina also let out a shocked voice.
Luciana-chan finally realized it too.
"""Eeeeeeeeee——!!!"""
All three of them were struck with shock and screamed.
"""Rina-chan’s wounds are healed——!!!""""
Ah, finally they’re surprised by that. Can you please overlook that Rina-chan is completely naked because of the surprise?
