The Final Little Problem

“ Yo-You . . . . ? “

Blond paused looking terrifically sweaty probably, no, surely because of me.

“ . . . . Are alive? “

I helped her complete her sentence as she doesn’t look in state to complete it any sooner.

She was swaying in To and Fro motion lightly. Wonder why.

Surprisingly, she didn’t got any serious injury after fighting two armed mans. Just her leg seemed little reddish after kicking away that Howa type 20.

I should have without a hesitation. She would not have gotten any injury that way but is her injury even my problem?

I questioned my existence and why I died there . . . . Not for too long when I realized I actually saved peoples.

Blond stumbled down upon her legs out of sudden.

“ H-Hay . . . . ! “

I tried to stop her from hitting the floor completely but just barely made it. I caught her by solders By The Way.

“ Blond?! What happened . . . . ?“

Her face was getting sickly red and her body temperature was increasing rapidly. She got a high fever out of sudden.

“A— . . . . Aum— . . . . “

She seemed as if she was trying to say something but I failed to understand her.

I laid her on my lap and checked the temperature through my hand. It was boiling hot! No wonder she seemed so red.

“ You are sick . . . . very sick! “

I said some regular NPC dialogues.

Well anyway, She already seemed to be unconscious.

I saw her aura depleting rapidly.

SP depletion is just like blood loss. If there’s a cut , the blood tries to escape out. Similarly, SP tries to escape through the body through any medium if the body has no longer the strength to hold back the SP which results in . . . .

“ She needs SP! . . . . “

If the blood loss isn’t stopped, the victim may die, it’s also something like that in case of SP. You may go to a long sleep or in the worst case scenario you may die.

Yes SP depletion stops after some time but if this continues in this speed for more than ten minutes, she would die before SP depletion stops.

“ I . . . . Need SP! “

Unluckily I am the worst guy to give someone some SP. I mean my body can’t hold SP at all.

If only I had . . . . Wait a minute!

Something struck my mind.

I shoveled through my pocket searching for the glove grandma gave me.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

You should have guessed till now.

That glove is an artifact which can contain large amount of SP in it.

If I use the glove’s SP and lend her some . . . .

Now another problem arises.

If I gave Blond the SP from the glove, that SP too would get depleted in the flow making it useless.

I need to find the cause of this SP depletion and focus on regenerating it or maybe it’s called healing.

I could regenerate myself but I’ve never tried it on someone else before. It’s almost automatic but . . . . Just Shut Up and Her.

I took the glove out of my pocket and wore it in my left hand.

I started examining the cause from the toe and coincidently found it as soon as I started.

The cause was that red swollen right foot which was imitating a dark aura just like a curse.

When I brought my hand closer to her wound I feel a cold chill run through my spine and my palm felt cold and sweaty. It was as if I wanted to remove that glove out of my hand.

“ It’s . . . . A curse. “

A little babbling by me, again.

I don’t think I need to explain what a curse is anyway.

Just in few seconds the curse got absorbed into my left arm when got closer to the sprain.

It startled me but it didn’t seem to have much affect on me so I started with transferring of the SP.

I gave her major amount of SP from the gloves.

Though I was using the glove's SP, I felt very light headed.

“ So . . . . This is how it feels when you have minor amount of SP in you. “

I once heard from Nino that it feels as if you are light as feather if your SP drains too much.

I too kind of feel light right now. It was infact hard to control my balance, this light I felt.

“ What’s this fuss fo—Mai?! “

Aunt Sun was here at last. Where she was this whole time I wonder.

“ Mai? “

I questioned.

“ Ya, Mai. “

“ Who’s Mai? “

“ She’s Mai. “

Aunt pointed at Blond.

So her name was Mai.

“ You know her aunt? “

I questioned again out curiosity.

“ She’s with me. “

It didn’t explained much but made me question even more.

“ With you? “

“ Ya are surprisingly dense now. Ya used ya Mana? “

“ What’s Mana? “

I feel stupid asking this many stupid questions!

“ Ugh, Spiritual energy so-so. “

“ Oh, yes . . . . “

I replied.

“ . . . . I healed Blond— “

“ Who’s Blond? “

After few minutes I was back to normal.

I was laying down on someone’s lap when I woke up.

I looked upwards to see who it was but saw nothing. Saw nothing because something big was in the way.

“ Hua? . . . . What’s this? “

“ Ya, awake Lugh? “

It turns out to be Aunt. I thought of finding out what it was myself by touching it but thank God I didn’t.

My head was still hurting!

I woke up and examined the surroundings looking for Blond.

She was still asleep on the other side of the lap of aunt.

“ . . . . Blond is fine . . . . “

“ Whatcha talking 'bout? “

“ She saved the life many civilians today all alone. While I . . . . “

There was a gloomy tone in my voice which aunt figured out right away.

Aunt took me in her arms ( to be more particularly accurate, it was her chest ) and pated my head gently.

“ Ya saved her right? “

She said with a warm wide smile on her face.

Yeah, I actually did.
