Chapter 22: Fuso in a dream
Shaking the jumbled thoughts out of my head, I reached out and touched the scar on Bena's back.
"I'll treat you."
"The healing magic in your body is depleted, you don't need to treat me, I have rough skin and thick flesh, and it won't be long before I get better." As he spoke, Bednar put his coat back on, and said, "My vindictiveness has recovered, but ...... I use Gülen Elixir, and if you want to restore your healing magic, you can use it, but I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it. ”
If Bednar had relied on Gülen's potion to recover, I probably know why he hadn't returned to Western University 6 in a month's time.
Gülen Elixir, the effect is similar to Eve's Elixir, but it is a banned elixir on the Big 6, with great side effects, but the efficacy is much worse than Eve's.
I didn't reply to him, just stubbornly reached over and grabbed Benna's wrist and channeled my healing magic into his body.
His vindictive spirit is indeed much better.
However, his meridians had become fragile, and the abundant fighting qi was circulating in the weak meridians in his body, and if he was not careful, there was a danger that the meridians would be damaged.
"Do we still have the Saint Louise flower we brought from Western University 6?"
Bena let me hold my wrist and smiled a little innocently: "Yes, if you want, I'll bring you some more in a few days." ”
As long as you have Eve's Elixir, it's easy to do.
I pulled out a smile, my hand slid down, and then gently took Bednar's hand, "It's okay, I'll heal you, and I'll heal myself." ”
The smile on Bednar's face slowly faded, and he lowered his head, stared at where I was holding his hands, and then looked up at me.
"Yes." He replied in a low voice, his back straight as loose.
I saw that there was more serious look on his face, and he was willing to shake my hand back, and my heart settled down inexplicably.
☆★☆
He rested in the house for a few days, and most of the time he was making a potion of Saint Louise flowers brought by Bena.
Benett told me not to get too tired, and I listened to him as much as I could, and as long as he was there, I was usually resting.
He used to say lately that I've changed a lot, that I don't see him as air anymore, and he's happy.
I don't think I used to think of him as nothing, but it would be a good thing if I could make him happy with what I do now. Because...... Although I knew that I was responsible, I was still a little embarrassed......
-- Actually, I don't know how to be responsible.
In my last life, I worked hard all my life to gain a foothold in my family, and in the end, I became a loner. In total, Bednar was the first person to put me in this situation.
In the previous life, there were many women who were the head of the house. There are gentle and petty, there are charming and arrogant, and there are spicy and refreshing, most of them are dependent on the head of the family, and they dare not resist the meaning of the head of the family when they are idle. So, the relationship between them is not of much value to me.
After thinking about it, I almost thought that my head was about to fall, and finally decided to stop dwelling on it and slowly groping around.
Bednar was a tall, burly man with athletic skills and abilities. He's the head of the mercenary group, and in a sense, he's still my boss, and I don't seem to be able to help him with anything other than treating some ailments.
But...... He didn't seem to resist my approach. Even, I vaguely felt that he liked my touch to him. After all, he's such a tough thunder fighter, and if he didn't mean anything else to me, I don't think he would bother to save me, take care of me, and let me, a healing mage with little force, overwhelm him.
In this way, I seem to owe him a lot.
I think that being responsible for him may be the same as "making him happy", and I should do more things to make him happy in the future.

Bednar has been busy lately.
Chelsea is dead, although his death has been diluted and forgotten after the scandal of the Chelsea family was exposed, but that can only affect the evaluation of the outside world. The mercenary group has always been managed by Bednar and him, and when he died suddenly, the affairs of the mercenary group were naturally in chaos.
There are so many things to do to reorganize the affairs of the mercenary group and form an alliance with the new 6 nobles of the Western University, and the parchment scrolls are already piled up on Bena's desk. He either stayed in the house all day to attend to business, or he was away for days before he came back.
I wasn't familiar with any of this, and I couldn't help much, so I focused more on treating me and his illness with Eve's potion.
Eve's potion is more suitable for subtly improving the physical condition, so I think the best way to absorb the medicine is the best way to use guò food to make people absorb the potion.
Add a small amount of Eve medicine to the drinking water at home, and add more medicine to daily soups and dishes.
To make it more convenient, I also went to the city library and borrowed a book on making zuò dishes to study.
Actually, it's not like I don't know how to cook.
It's just that since I was a child, there were nurturing teachers in the welfare home, and later there were Gens Heber in the northern forest, and they would take care of my three meals a day. So, when I live alone, I will mostly eat simple and filling dishes, and as for their taste and appearance, they are really ...... Don't dare to compliment.

"Russell soup?"
I was staring at the flames licking the bottom of the pot when I heard the sound of Bena.
I turned my head to see him leaning against the kitchen door with his neck tilted, looking at me with a smile on his face.
“…… Kindness. I nodded, turned around to make the fire smaller, and brought out two bowls.
"I'll do it." Bednar huddled up to me and brought the two bowls of soup out, and I cleaned up briefly and walked out of the kitchen.
I thought he would wait for me to drink with me, but when I got to the table, he was already eating a big meal, and the soup in the bowl was already halfway gone, and when he saw me coming, he grinned at me.
This kind of situation has been born many times in these days. Although I didn't feel that the food tasted as good as his cooking, he seemed to like it very much, and he always started eating it as soon as he got it, and he couldn't wait for it.
Forget it, as long as he likes to eat, I don't mind anything else.
"I feel like I've been getting a lot better lately." He said to me as he drank the soup.
Of course, it's much better, Eve's potion is a lost potion, and Gülen's potion can't be compared to it.
Strange to say, when I used Eve's potion for dietary therapy, I vomited all the time. But when it was Bena's turn, he just had some black mud on his body every day, and he had to wash his body every day.
"Although your fighting spirit has recovered now, your body has been injured a lot by the Gülen potion, so the treatment time may be longer."
When Benett heard me say this, his face became a little more solemn, and he seemed to have lost his interest in speaking.
“……”
After drinking the soup silently, I saw that he blinked a little sleepily, raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead, and asked, "Sleepy?" ”
He nodded: "The matter of the mercenary group is almost done, I can probably have a good rest today." ”
"Then go to sleep."
He nodded, but suddenly remembered something, and stood up to put away the bowl on the table.
I was stunned, but quickly came back to my senses and pressed his hand: "I'll sort it out." ”
He smiled at me, "I'll do it." ”
When I saw that he insisted, I let go of my hand and said no more.

After he finished washing the pots and dishes
I followed him in, and while he was still asleep, I sprinkled a lot of diluted potion on the floor of the bedroom.
In this way, it can relieve the heat, and secondly, the water vapor will be vaporized and dissolved in the air, and if it is inhaled by Bednar, it may also have a slight effect.
After doing this, I plan to go out quietly. As soon as I looked up, I saw that Benett had been staring at me with his eyes open, and there was a smile on his lips that could not be hidden.
"Laughing at something." I saw him smiling happily, as if he was also infected by him, and I couldn't help but hook the corners of my lips.
He shook his head: "Nothing. ”
"Go to sleep." I didn't ask, and turned to leave the bedroom, only to hear Bernar's soft snort of annoyance behind me.
It seems like...... I'm in a better mood.
☆★☆
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, my body is slowly recovering, and my relationship with Bednar seems to be much closer than before.
The mercenary group's affairs are on the right track, and a lot of new tasks have been done.
As I saw that Bednar was getting better, I thought it might be time for me to move out of his house.
"You want to move out?"
After telling Bennar about this, he didn't seem to be happy, his voice was dull, and there was no superfluous affection on his face.
Actually, I don't have any other ideas, but I just think that living with him all the time without treating his illness as an excuse might cause gossip in the mercenary group and slander his reputation.
He listened to my explanation, and his mood seemed to be worse, but he finally agreed.
I think he's always been sober.
☆★☆
When I was sleeping at night, I was suddenly woken up, and when I woke up, I realized that it was a scream from Benett's room, and I hurriedly put on my clothes and went to look for him.
He was naked, holding on to the edge of the bed and gasping for breath.
Startled, I walked over quickly, condensed the elemental core in my palm and crushed it, urging it into Bena's body, reaching out to hold his wrist and injecting healing magic to relieve his pain.
The meridians in his body have gradually strengthened in the past six months, but now, there are some weak points that are broken, allowing the fighting spirit to leak out.
Maybe it's because I've reduced the dosage of Eve's potion too much recently, and he's been cultivating Dou Qi a lot lately, which has made him feel like this now.
I was careless.
“…… Collo......"
He fell into my arms, and his forehead was bruised, and I saw him gritting his teeth, and from time to time he let out a groan of pain, and I felt that I was also very uncomfortable.
"It's fine." I crushed many elemental nuclei, not caring how much I lost, but carefully and slowly guiding them to heal the wounds in Bena's body.
By the time I was done, it was already dawn outside the window, and Bednar was leaning on my shoulder, his face was pale, his brows were locked, and I looked at his sleeping appearance, but suddenly I realized...... It turned out that he also had such fragile moments.
