I Think This Has Healed Now

“Now then, from this point forward, we will hold the awards ceremony.” (Announcer)

After the final match ended, the awards ceremony took place.

The Crown Prince Sirius himself had come down to the stage to present the certificates to the winner and runner-up.

“Uuuuuuuuu…” (Iris)

Iris still looked frustrated over her defeat, and she kept wearing a dissatisfied expression both before and after receiving her award.

Even so, the audience praised her with cheers like “Well done!”, and “You were strong!”.

“Ah… Iris-sama… to me, you are the true victor…!” (Lancelot)

Lancelot muttered something incomprehensible while crying.

“Everyone, you have shown us an incredible battle. First, I would like to commend your fine efforts and express my heartfelt gratitude. Thank you.” (Sirius)

The audience responded with excitement at his words.

“And I believe I have confirmed the strength and bravery of the knights of our kingdom of Stear. This time, many excellent warriors participated from abroad as well. Of the 24 finalists, only eight, or one-third, are knights from our country. However, led by Barbas, captain of the Holy Dragon Knights who won the tournament, six of them advanced to the top eight.” (Sirius)

Aside from about two exceptions, it was certainly true that this tournament highlighted the achievements of the kingdom’s knights.

Just as “they” had intended.

*Pop*

At that moment, a sudden popping sound echoed from the audience seats.

“““Kyaaaaa!?””” (Spectators)

Screams rang out.

Crown Prince Sirius, who was giving a speech on stage, collapsed to the ground as if falling.

“““Your Highness!?””” (Knights)

The knights guarding him immediately rushed over, only to find their master unconscious and bleeding from the chest.

“That man!” (Spectator)

Someone shouted. There was a man fleeing while pushing aside other spectators. The security guards immediately gave chase. Amid the chaos in the venue, Leon calmly observed the situation.

“No, that man isn’t the culprit. The person who sniped the prince while blending in with the audience wouldn’t escape so obviously. That’s a decoy prepared in advance.” (Leon)

From the trajectory of the bullet that pierced Sirius’s chest, Leon had already calculated the culprit’s position.

“That’s him. That presence is probably the same person who previously tried to assassinate the prince in the same way.” (Leon)

Quietly trying to escape while blending into the shocked crowd.

“Sura, secretly attach a clone to that guy.” (Leon)

“Got it~” (Sura)

A clone the size of a pinky stuck to the culprit’s back. No matter where he tried to run, it would be pointless. Leon shifted his gaze back to the stage, where Sirius was being carried away on a stretcher.

“With that wound, normal healing magic won’t save him… it can’t be helped.” (Leon)

Leon followed after.

“Hey, you can’t enter beyond here!” (Guard)

“Sorry, I’m in a hurry.” (Leon)

“H-hey! Wait, you!” (Guard)

Though stopped by a security soldier along the way, Leon slipped past and moved ahead.

“Excuse me.” (Leon)

“W-who are you? You’re the one from before… how did you get in!?” (Bazoro)

When Leon entered the room, Chancellor Bazoro was there. Thinking it was a troublesome person, Leon turned his gaze deeper inside. Sirius lay on a bed, and healers were desperately treating him, but as expected, it was futile.

“What are you doing? Get that person out of here quickly!” (Bazoro)

“Y-yes!” (Soldiers)

Chancellor Bazoro shouted, and the soldiers surrounded Leon. But one of them spoke up.

“You are the one from before…” (Knight)

He was the captain of the royal guard who had asked Leon for help when Sirius’s group was saved from bandits recently.

“I believe you can use healing magic, right? Please lend us a hand!” (Captain of the Royal Guard)

“Yeah, sure. That’s why I came, anyway.” (Leon)

It seemed he remembered that Leon could use healing magic.

“What’s the meaning of this? A child using healing magic? It’s unnecessary! Don’t interfere with our kingdom’s healers! Hey! I said don’t interfere!” (Bazoro)

Ignoring Chancellor Bazoro’s yelling, Leon approached the bed. There, Princess Celia, with a pale face, looked down at her brother.

“You are…” (Celia)

She noticed Leon and turned her gaze toward him. While the healers looked confused, Leon quickly examined the prince’s condition.

“Well, this should heal quickly.” (Leon)

“R-really!?” (Celia)

At that moment, Chancellor Bazoro interrupted again.

“Princess Celia, don’t! Allowing such a strange child to treat His Highness is outrageous! What would you do if something happened to him? Leave it to our people here!” (Bazoro)

“…Chancellor Bazoro,” (Celia)

Celia glared sharply at Bazoro and asked a pointed question.

“Could it be that you would be troubled if your brother recovered?” (Celia)

“W-what are you saying!? There’s no way I would think that…!” (Bazoro)

“Then, why do you try to obstruct your brother’s healing?” (Celia)

“I-I’m not obstructing—” (Bazoro)

Bazoro quickly protested, but Celia was not convinced and pressed further.

“Perfect Heal.” (Leon)

“Ah.” (Celia)

Without wasting time on the quarrel between the princess and the chancellor, Leon promptly cast healing magic. A brilliant light enveloped Sirius. The wound closed visibly.

“Wh-what a healing power…” (Healer)

“A child like this…” (Healer)

The healers were astonished as Leon spoke.

“Yes, it’s done. I think this has healed now.” (Leon)
