Child Rearing Hero and Children of the Demon King - Chapter 26

Chapter 26

I was attacked by a monster .




While shielding Aura and the children, I somehow made it withdraw .
Aura aims to become a Sage, moreover, she excels at developing magic items, so she’s an amateur when it comes to fighting .

「Yuuya-san, your injury……!」
「Ah, I’m fine, I’m fine」

My arm was cut by the monster’s claw during the battle . I’m bleeding quite a lot .

「I would be much more comfortable if I had Pochi amazing recovery ability though」

I smiled feebly . I am a human that is called the Brave Hero, but magic is my weak point . I can use a simple recovery magic, but my attacking method consists of swinging my sword .
When I tried to take out a bandage after stopping the bleeding with the recovery magic, Ilya and Iric helped me out .
Aura also took out herbs and made a paste .
By the way, Pochi was fighting too, he kicked a monster about then sat next to the twins while swinging his tail leisurely . Because he tried to capture the children on his own, he’s actually quite strong .
It’s just his character that is incompetent, it seems .

「Nii~chan, are you hurting?」
「Does it hurt?」

The twins were looking at me worriedly, so I patted their heads while smiling . I couldn’t move the injured arm too well, but I played it .

「It’s fine, it’s fine . It will heal after I eat and sleep」
「Really?」
「Are you telling the truth?」
「Yeah . Thank you for worrying about me」
「You are pathetic, Hero . You want to protect Prince and Princess with such effete? Hmph, as I thought, I should-」

Pochi got buried .

「Ilya? Let’s apologize, okay?」
「…………………… I am sorry」

Her voice was extremely low and monotone, and her expression looked very sour, but well, let’s deem it acceptable .
A little while after we started walking .
My vision blurred .

「Ah……?」

Crap . Was it venomous, that monster? Moreover, the venom had a delayed and slow-acting effect .
The antidote from the baggage-
My knees grew weak as soon as I thought about the antidote .

「Nii~chan!?」
「Onii~san!?」

I heard the twins’ voices――and lost my consciousness .
