Chapter 62 Don’t Rush

"it hurts!"

The early morning in the hospital ward is not peaceful.

Amid the young man's cries of pain, Iyoshima An slowly opened her eyes.

After all, no one wants to be suddenly woken up when they are sleeping soundly.

But when she looked in the direction of Li Mengyu, her resentful eyes quickly turned into puzzled eyes.

"?"

The person who appeared in front of her was Li Mengyu, who was swinging his arms wildly. It seemed that there was some cute creature like a little doll hanging on his arms?

Only when I looked closely could I see that it was a creature with a cartoon bull's head, a small body, and four wings on its back that looked like lotus petals.

He was biting Li Mengyu's arm and chewing it continuously.

No matter how hard Li Mengyu tried to shake him off, she couldn't.

"so cute……"

Of course, I'm talking about that little gadget.

Li Mengyu felt bitter. It was cute and he thought it was cute, but this little thing was the culprit that caused his current financial difficulties!

"I told you, there's nothing to eat this morning!"

Li Mengyu smashed it hard on the bedding. After a puff of white smoke, the cute minotaur turned into a magenta card and fell on the bedding.

The illustration on it is exactly that cute elf, but... there is a small problem, which is the name of this card.

"Bull ghost."

There is no need for too much guessing. This is the card dropped by the Ushio who was defeated by Li Mengyu using the Armored Hibiki.

Li Mengyu didn't know why it was drawn in such a cartoon style. The bull ghost that appeared in this posture no longer looked like a ferocious monster, and there was no demonic aura at all... Even the sword and armor had no reaction to it.

But one thing needs to be explained. Unlike other monsters that can only be sealed in cards, the Ushio-ki can directly transform from the card into this elf-like appearance.

The only way for a card to change back is if it takes a certain amount of damage or it changes back on its own, and even if it changes back it can reappear quickly.

So Li Mengyu had no way to deal with this kind of bull ghost. Fortunately, this kind of bull ghost did not have any killing power. Even the little girl's fist could easily knock it back into the card.

In fact, if we ignore the origin of this little thing, it can be used as a mascot. But this brings us to the second problem with this little guy - it's such a big eater.

Most of the food that was piled up like a treasure bag in the refrigerator at home has now gone into the stomach of this little thing.

It's such a small thing, but it can easily eat food that is ten times its size.

Once there is no food, this little guy will chew on the quilt, the pillow, the table... If he wants to chew on people, he will just chew on him for the time being.

Even though I can't finish it.

But it's very troublesome, and the saliva is dirty, and it will be very painful if you get bitten unexpectedly.

But as mentioned before, Li Mengyu has no way to deal with this guy. Getting him back on the card is only a temporary solution after all. She can only use food to shut this guy's mouth, but because of his exaggerated appetite.

Therefore, Li Mengyu is now in a financial crisis... The main reason is that he can't get any commissions and is living off his savings.

I wiped off the saliva stains on my arm. It was weird, but the saliva didn't smell bad at all. Instead, it had a strange fragrance... but it was disgusting.

Li Mengyu rolled up Niu Gui's card again and again with the tape she carried with her, and threw it back into her pocket. The card was vibrating... It should last for half a day.

I sighed softly, feeling so tired.

Suddenly realizing something, he turned to look at Iyoshima Anne who had already woken up.

"Sorry, sorry, but don't worry, that little guy only bit me, so don't be scared."

He tried his best to make his voice softer, but after a brief silence, Iyoshima An still chose to pull the quilt up, covering most of her face.

Who makes her not good at socializing?

But come to think of it, the voice just now seemed very nice... If he was more cheerful, no no no, even with this sickly look, this child would be very popular.

Li Mengyu did not see the shadow of an excluded child in her.

It's just that my body is a little weak.

At around seven in the morning, the girl's parents came to the hospital. They loved their child very much and took good care of her, always asking her if she was comfortable and how she felt.

At this time, Iyoshima An was not as timid as she was before towards Li Mengyu.

She whispered that she was feeling fine, had felt much better, and would be discharged from the hospital soon.

The child's parents were also very considerate. As a stranger and fellow patient, Li Mengyu was given a fruit basket and asked him to help take care of the child. Although it was probably just a courtesy, Li Mengyu still agreed.

They didn't stay long, just half an hour before leaving.

The smile on the girl's face quickly disappeared after her parents left.

For some reason, she glared at him and took out the book from under the pillow.

Li Mengyu got out of bed and approached her.

She subconsciously stuffed the book into the quilt and shrank inward, feeling a little scared.

Li Mengyu just put the fruit basket at the head of her bed.

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, the girl spoke weakly.

"That's what your parents gave you..."

Li Mengyu shook her head.

"Your parents have worked hard enough, how can I have the nerve to ask for their things?"

You can tell just by looking at the ward she is staying in. If it is a standard ward, although it is not very accurate, it probably means that the girl's parents are not very rich.

As for the girl, she must have been weak since childhood and was always in the hospital. Her parents invested a lot in her, and she should know it herself, so she couldn't help but glare at Li Mengyu.

"Although I'm not a detective, I do some of the things that detectives do occasionally. I can tell from some things... Has your health been bad since you were a child?"

"……Um."

This time the girl did not hide again and nodded gently.

Her eyes were filled with disappointment. She knew how much trouble her body had caused her parents, but...

"Why are you looking so sad? Your poor health is not your decision...ah..."

Li Mengyu rubbed his eyebrows. It’s not that he has no solution at all.

"Do you want to cure your illness?"

He regretted the moment he said it. Really, for a guy like him who was also in the hospital, saying such things didn't seem to be convincing at all.

Facing the girl's puzzled look, he coughed twice.

"It's fate. Since my body is weak, I can become stronger this way."

"..."

It sounds simple, but the girl's body simply cannot support her normal exercise.

"Don't look at me like a shaman... Well, if there really is a way, you would try it, right?"

Same nonsense.

The girl nodded.

"Don't be impatient, wait a moment."

When he said this, his expression made people feel angry.

Chapter 63: Big Mistake

"Tsk."

Jun Qianjing looked at him with a rather strange look, and glanced at Iyoshima An lying on the hospital bed from time to time.

How can I describe this look... It was as if he was looking at some non-recyclable garbage, and it pierced Mother Li's heart.

"You already have me... Nogi-san is fine... but how can you come again just to stay in the hospital..."

A strange resentment plus one.

"Qian Jing, did you not sleep well last night?"

It was just that it was unclear whether Li Mengyu was pretending or was really that slow. After a moment of sadness, he quickly adjusted himself. He stretched out his hands and touched the girl's face, and his thumbs gently pressed on the small traces of dark circles under the girl's eyes.

"Even if your physical condition is much better than before, you can't just let your body go. Look, I'm in the hospital, right?"

Although she was indeed hospitalized, Jun Qianjing clearly remembered that Li Mengyu ate Nogi-san’s expression food when she was hospitalized, right?

"But I can understand that. After all, there is still some excitement about school trips. Youth is great. I didn't have such a thing when I was young... I won't do it again."

The fingers that touched Jun Qianjing's skin felt warm, and the flame emblem on the back of her hand flashed. When Li Mengyu moved her fingers away, the light dark circles under her eyes disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there were a few blushes on her cheeks. After all, touching the face is considered intimate contact, right?

The inexplicable resentment in my heart disappeared completely in an instant.

"Well, I understand." Jun Qianjing's voice was a little weak, but it still fell clearly into Li Mengyu's ears. "Then, Meng, why did you ask me to come here?"

She had been visiting the scenic spots in Ehime Prefecture with her classmates, and she rushed over immediately after receiving the message on her mobile phone.

"I will temporarily add a test item related to the power of emblems to your assessment."

Li Mengyu smiled. He had not yet told them that he had lost the corresponding elemental emblem.

However, after such a long time, Jun Qianjing had actually noticed something a long time ago, but since Li Mengyu didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask.

Li Mengyu had the same smile on her face as always, but at this moment, nothing could be seen from her face.

He pointed his finger at Iyoshima An.

"Her health is not very good, so I want you to try healing magic and brush up your proficiency in healing spells."

Jun Qianjing didn't ask any more questions. If Li Mengyu asked her to do something, she would do it, no matter what the reason was.

Chikage of Iyoshima's Kyoumi-gun couldn't help but shrink her neck as she approached.

"Don't be afraid. I already know most of the spells, so don't worry about me mixing up the healing spells with the attacking spells."

In front of strangers, Jun Qianjing's cold expression coupled with these words seemed like a threat no matter how you looked at it.

Iyoshima An shivered.

"Suddenly, I don't want to get treatment anymore..."

Jun Qianjing didn't care about her. The emblem glowed with light, and a wave emblem pattern appeared behind her. Her long hair moved without wind, and light blue cyclones continued to gather from behind her into her palms.

"pain."

Li Mengyu knocked on her head, directly disrupting her entire technique. Fortunately, interrupting the release of the power of the water emblem only increased the water vapor concentration in the room by two percentage points. The extra water vapor would not lead to any other consequences.

Jun Qianjing looked at him somewhat aggrieved, not knowing what he had done wrong.

"Of course your spell is correct, but... maybe it's because you learned too many spells at once. Didn't you notice that your spellcasting speed is much slower than that Nogi guy? And... it's too easy to be interrupted."

Facing the girl's aggrieved look, Li Mengyu touched her head and told her the problem...

This is a rare opportunity, and Li Mengyu wants her to do more than just help Iyoshima An.

Jun Qianjing's pupils shrank slightly. Li Mengyu was right. She was indeed prone to making mistakes and she did not perform the technique properly yesterday.

Now that the mistake has been pointed out, it is natural to also state the solution.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have given you all those complicated spells at once. So, put aside all the spells above the intermediate level for now and start practicing the simplest low-level and daily life magic."

In short, Jun Qianjing's foundation has not been laid well, and he should have noticed it earlier... It's just that because his talent was so good when he was in the kingdom, there were almost no teachers who could teach him, and subconsciously he thought that everyone was like this.

"You were chosen to be a hero, not just because you were summoned. Why did the summoning technique only choose you among so many people? Your body and your talent are the proof. To you, a hero... may just be a title."

The sad face of the kingdom's most powerful magician still appears in Li Mengyu's mind.
