Then, after receiving the order from August, Sicily arrived at the temporary relief station and called out to the posted local healing mage.

“Please bring forth the critical ones!”

Until a while ago, on-going battle that made the soldiers give up on the idea of living. . The tragic number of injured people was no less than half of the force.

“Saint! M-Me, treat me!”

“Hey you! The saint said that the critical patients come first!”

There are healing mages at this post, too. However, there is no one in the capital of Earlshide who does not know the name of Saint Sicily, the healing magic genius; who under Shin direction, cellular structures of living organisms the living body is composed of, and practiced the methods at the treatment center run by the church. The injured began to rush in, while ignoring the words from Sicily that she would perform healing magic on the critical patients first.

“Oh, um! Please listen to what I’m saying!”

Sicily desperately calls out to give priority to the critical patients, but the soldiers, agitated by the on-going battle and injuries, do not listen to her. At this rate, she could not perform the mission entrusted to her by August.

Then during her pondering of the situation, a tiny but not negligible magical explosion above their heads resounds. The wounded soldiers, startled by the sound, stopped moving for a moment.

“You guys! You dare to have the nerve to bother my younger sister!?”

“U-fu-fu… Do you need to be punished for troubling such people?”

“Sister! I’m so glad you’re safe!”

Sicily’s Sisters, Cecilia and Sylvia, admonished the wounded soldiers the moment they stopped moving. Their faces were fuming, angered by the soldiers who didn’t listen to Sicily with their haste to get healed.

“As Sicily was saying! Bring forth the critical wounded patient who can’t move on their own!”

“If you don’t like it, I can make you a critical wounded patient, okay?”

“Oh, elder Sister…”

Cecilia, who served as a member of the magical division and also participated in this garrison army, scolded the soldiers. Sylvia muttered something quite disturbing.

Then, whether it was Cecilia’s scolding or Silvia’s threats working, the soldiers began to gather the critical wounded patient in a hurry. And a number of soldiers who were unconscious and visibly in a serious condition were brought in.

“That is…”

Looking at one of the soldiers that was brought in, Cecilia was at a loss for words for a moment. His arms are broken, bones popping out, and some internal organs are also exposed. Honestly, she doesn’t think he will survive. It was that type of injury.

And now Sicily is going to try to heal him, most likely she would fail. If that happens, because she is Sicily, she might feel depressed that it was her fault for her inadequacy. Concerned about this, Cecilia and Sylvia approached Sicily.

“Sicily, those…”

“Isn’t it impossible for him to survive, right? So you don’t have to force yourself to treat him…”

“Elder Sister Cecilia, elder Sister Sylvia” – Sicily interrupted the words of her two sisters. – “I know that you’re worried, but it’s all right. I’ve been trained by Shin in many ways.”

“Huh?”

No matter how good you are at healing magic, a wounded human being is not something you get used to seeing. Cecilia and Sylvia were surprised that Sicily was speaking calmly in front of a severely injured soldier and seemed to have no issue with the devastating sight. Sicily immediately began treating the soldier.

First, the most precarious torn abdomen and internal organs, they were mended and placed back in the abdominal cavity while being sterilized. Then, after confirming that there are no lacerations in the internal organs, the wound in the abdominal area is healed.

For the broken arm, Shin would forcibly cut off the nerve impulses and forcibly give anesthesia, but for Sicily it is not possible to imitate that much.

However, Sicily’s healing apparently does not cause eruptive pains. The healing magic that Sicily uses actually has two distinct properties. One is the physical regeneration based on the medical knowledge taught by Shin. And the other is that originally, healing magic is activated when there is a great desire to heal the other person through the spirit of compassion. During the activation of Shin’s method of healing magic, with the desire to help the patient, a dual secondary effect of reducing pain is invoked.

The soldier’s injuries were regenerating at a rapid pace. And the gathered people around the patient were gawking in astonishment at the situation.

“… Phew, it is done! The wound has healed, but the lost blood hasn’t regenerated, so let him rest in the back!”

“Ah, Y-Yes! Understood!”

A soldier, who was much older than her, replied to Sicily, after her report of the first treatment had been completed. With a respectful gaze, he carried off the soldier with the completed the treatment on a stretcher with the assistance of another soldier.

“Next person! Please!”

“Si-Sicily?”

“What is it? Elder Sister Cecilia”

Completely flabbergasted, Cecilia decided to ask Sicily about the current treatment. – “What’s that? I’ve never seen healing magic like that before…”

“Huh? Oh. Because that’s the healing magic that Shin taught me.”

“By Shin?”

While treating the next patient, Sicily answered briefly. Cecilia would have liked to hear a little more, but Sicily probably thought she was done with the previous explanation, which Cecilia didn’t feel it was the case. Sicily did not speak further.

“…Huh? That’s it?”

“Yes? Shin develops magic… as you can see that it’s different from conventional magic and is out of the common standard.”

“Oh, so that’s your evaluation…”

Cecilia was surprised. She was familiar with Sicily and Shin lovey-dovey behavior. When she returned to her parents’ house for a rotation of duties, she witnessed the sight of their blatant flirting while being oblivious and really made her want to puke sugar. So she thought that Sicily was unconditionally accepting anything about Shin. Although the situations between them are unconditionally in her perspectives, there is also an apparent different meaning behind that.
