A drop of water fell onto the boy's forehead, making his eyes twitch.
Slowly opening his eyes, what he saw was a dark cave, and right above him was the pit that he and Kanna had fallen into.
"...How long have I been unconscious?"
Kai tried to sit up, then looked around.
It was cramped and dusty, with barely any oxygen. Staying here any longer would definitely be a terrible idea.
"Damn it!" Scratching his head, he tried to stand up.
"Kuuu..."
"?
Kai heard a voice and immediately glanced toward the sound.
It was Kanna—and oh my god, her clothes were completely torn!!
"AGH! NAKED WOMAN! MY WEAKNESS!"
But she was pinned under a few boulders, which conveniently covered exactly the parts that needed covering. Talk about plot convenience.
So he started lifting the rocks off her—and THEY WERE INSANELY HEAVY!
"I really need to pump up my strength stat more."
After struggling for a while, he collapsed from exhaustion and looked at her.
She was unconscious and injured, but luckily there were no open wounds—if there had been, infection would have been guaranteed.
"..." Kai stared at her massive boobs for a moment, lost in thought.
'I've heard guys are really into big boobs. My old coworkers back when I worked construction always talked about wanting to grab a feel.'
Then he looked closer at that boobs, leaning in a bit more.
"...Eh, it's not that attractive, honestly. They overhyped it." Kai smirked mockingly, then checked her injuries properly.
But since she was still wearing clothes, it was hard to see everything.
'Ugh, this is annoying. Do I really have to strip her?' Kai scratched his head.
Then he remembered the time he worked as a security guard at a school. Because they were short-staffed, his boss sent him to fix something in the girls' changing room.
Like, bro, you're sending me—a guy—into the girls' changing room? Are you kidding me?
Good thing it was me and not some fat, perverted old guard, or some poor girl changing inside would've been in serious trouble.
Yeah, when I walked in, there were two girls... and they were kissing each other.
"Ah" "ah" "ah"
Kai and the two girls stared at each other for a while, then he scratched his head.
"No worries, I won't tell anyone. Young love is normal, just pretend I'm not here," he said while walking in and fixing the thing anyway.
And yeah, Kai got fired for "sexual harassment" even though he just accidentally saw them. God damn it.
But a few months later, he heard that the same two girls were sexually assaulted by the new guard. The problem was they stayed silent, and it only came out when their parents discovered it and reported him.
Where's the justice? I got fired just for trying to earn money so my little brother could go to school, while the new guy abused them for months without getting caught. What a load of crap!
Ahem... Back to the present. Kai started removing Kanna's clothes.
Since Kanna was wearing tight inner clothing, it was extremely hard to take off—especially with those huge breasts making it even more difficult. Damn these boobs and their complications!
"Ugh... Screw it, I'll just cut it."
He rummaged through his bag, pulled out the Hunchback's Dagger, and carefully cut through her uniform.
It had a 10% chance to instantly kill weaker enemies, but only 1% against stronger ones.
And Kanna was definitely stronger than him, but he still had to be careful.
1% is still 1%.
After some struggling, he squinted at her skin.
Not because her skin was beautiful or seductive or anything... but because of the rune symbols covering her body.
They were dense, concentrated on her arms, stomach, and thighs.
Especially near her private area.
There was a strange heart-shaped tattoo.
'The way it's drawn... it kinda looks like the one on that cannibal guy I fought before.'
But she acted completely normal despite always throwing up a lot...
"Hmm..." He observed closely, then remembered something.
"Oh, right. Alice once transferred mana by writing her name on me. Thinking about it, that was kinda similar to Rune magic, wasn't it?"
So maybe Kanna's ability isn't Rune magic but something else.
"Eh, whatever."
After that, he flipped her over and checked every inch.
Seeing that the injuries were just bruises, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ugh, I completely cut up her uniform. No choice now."
So he took off his Armor of Love, removed his shirt, and put everything on her—since he at least had regeneration, he wasn't too worried.
After dressing her again, Kai scouted ahead to check for danger.
'...Good, no monsters or traps. Maybe I'm in a safe zone of the dungeon?'
He then went back, picked her up piggyback-style, and his legs immediately started shaking like crazy.
"Damn, she's heavy!" He gritted his teeth and started walking forward.
Now he had to find a way out of the dungeon. He didn't know how, but he had to survive to do it.
Especially for Kanna—she still had a future ahead of her. He couldn't let her die.
He walked for a while, rested a bit, walked again, rested again.
This cycle continued until he finally collapsed.
"T-Too tired! I-I can't take this body anymore!" Panting heavily, he looked at Kanna, still unconscious, then gritted his teeth and stood up again.
And this was the first time luck finally smiled on him.
"...Huh?"
He saw a blue light ahead and heard rustling sounds.
So he cautiously drew the Hunchback's Dagger and approached.
A familiar silhouette.
"Hmm hmm, with this I can brew some medicine."
I definitely know that person.
"Huh?" She turned around, saw him and Kanna.
"...It's you, the school doctor."
The one who operated on him in chapter 10 and gave him that card.
"Huh? What are you two doing here?" She stood up and put whatever she'd just picked into her bag.
"No no, that's my line. What are you doing here?"
"I don't want to hear that from a student. I'm an adult, you know."
She then looked at Kanna.
"Follow me. We need a wider space to examine her properly."
Hearing that, he followed her.
Once they reached a fairly open area, she pulled out a mattress and spread it on the ground. He gently laid Kanna down.
"Hmm." After removing everything Kanna was wearing, she noticed the runes and the heart tattoo but ignored them.
"Luckily no broken bones or anything. This environment isn't suitable for surgery anyway." She applied medicine to the bruised areas.
"You don't use healing magic?"
"Only an idiot would. I remember telling you the side effects of healing magic, didn't I?"
"I forgot. Feels like 8 months have passed already."
"...Haaah. Using healing magic reduces the body's natural recovery ability. Basically, the spell forces the body's own regeneration to work at an accelerated rate, so over time it becomes less effective and can even prevent natural healing entirely. That's why it's only used in emergencies."
"Wow, detailed explanation."
"You've gotten rude since we last met."
"A lot has happened... you know."
The doctor heard that and stared straight into his eyes.
"W-What?"
"...Your body is in an unnaturally perfect condition. That's extremely suspicious for someone as weak as you."
"...And?"
"Did you pick up a regeneration item?"
"...Ehhh, kinda?"
She then looked at his snake-shaped earring.
"...Best not to rely on it too much. Consider this a warning."
"I'm not trying to. The regeneration is nice, but I have to endure torture every time it activates."
After that, she carefully checked the girl one more time and packed up her things.
"She's fine now. She'll wake up soon."
"Great. I don't want to carry her anymore." He sighed in relief and looked at her.
"Are you heading back soon?"
"Yes."
"Then show us the way out later. We just fell down here."
After he said that, the doctor stared at him.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Sweat started pouring down his face, as if the situation was about to get even worse.
"I... I'm also trying to find a way out... Teehee?"
"..."
He covered his face, realizing that the "luck" that had smiled on him earlier wasn't luck at all.
It was just bad luck piling on top of more bad luck!!!!
"I THOUGHT YOU KNEW THE WAY?!"
"That's what I should be asking you!"
"YOU'RE THE ADULT HERE! WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM US 15-YEAR-OLDS??"
"Hey! I just treated your friend! Is that how you talk to your doctor?!"
"AGHHHHH!!!"
And thus, Kai's party gained a new member! The lost doctor!
