A room in Mansion of former lord.

The room has the largest bed in the mansion. 

"It seems that he somehow managed to hold on." The old doctor stands up upon treating the man in the bed.

The concerned people all breath sighs of relief.

Most of the people in the room are women.

 Even amongst them, Amber Drake a dark navy hair that slightly reaches above her nap sits on the floor weakly. On top of the bed, the hero who cut down almost 700 enemies and protected the town, King Hiro Hezri, is sleeping.

"There are no places on his body, which don’t have wounds. There are also several places where it reached his organs too…no matter how good of a medicine I use, losing that much blood and still being able to stay alive, I can only believe that he is someone loved by the god."

The doctor spreads his arms as if to say that a miracle happened.

"He’ll probably be awake soon. Keep him steady for a while, have him eat nutritious food that have been broken down gently, wipe his body down and apply the medicine. He should be fine."

There are three more men in the room; 2 middle aged men in their fifties and a younger man - Noir Virginia, Albert Hyuutia and Leonhardt Strauch. They give cue to each other to leave the room.

The doctor left, the men don’t want to disturb him while he is recovering so they also left and only the girls remain.

"I’m so glad…I’m really glad…"

Amber clings onto the hand of my unconscious master, and presses it to my face. The purple haired village girl, Nojico is only standing at the corner of the room as she is not as close to the man compared to other girls. Standing beside Nojico is the oldest among the girls, Lucino. Like Nojico, she distances herself from him as she is not as close to him compared to other girls.

"Damn it. Why didn't they tell me about the night attack?" A short haired blond girl in revealing attire, Clementine punches the wall in fury.

The tall girl with bluish hair that reaches beyond her nape, Sekrit looks at Clementine for a minute before turning to Hiro and says,

"That can't be helped. We were all sleeping and couldn't move our bodies at all. Especially this girl." 

Sekrit points at another person who is lying at the corner of the same bed. Her usual braided brown hair is let loose. As this female knight, Lyla Hypernia couldn't move a single muscle, others had to carry her here. She turns her body towards the man and fixes her gaze at him. 

Sitting on the large bed next to Lyla is a blond girl in ponytailed hair, Farnese Vandimion who has been nursing him. 

A red haired girl with slightly longer ears than others, a Dalish girl, Gheyna kneels on the bed and helps Farnese with nursing.

Standing before Sekrit is a girl with braided golden hair, Myla Hyuutia whose eyes are red from a lot of crying before.

She and Sekrit turn their head behind as footsteps are coming towards the room.

A brown skinned girl with whitish short hair and slightly longer ears like Gheyna enters the room with a gloomy face.

"Lupine, how is your brother?"

The dark elven girl, Lupine Tirvac walks further and climbs onto the bed before touching the man gently.

"My brother is in much better condition. He is still conscious and his wounds are not this many." 

Lupine continues while biting her lips in agony, "Why did they go there?" 

Sekrit answers, "They don't want us to get hurt."

Silence envelopes the room. 

Then, Sekrit breaks the silence,

"Anyway, from now onwards, I will stay in the room and sleep with him."

The girls simultaneously stare at the tallest girl in the room and yell,

"Me too!!!" 

The spacious room and large bed will be crowded tonight.

***

On that day, Amber was relieved when he was talkative and rubbing her butt, but his entire body was covered with not only the enemy’s blood. When she and Nojico went to give him first-aid treatment and took off the broken armor, they were shocked. The tip of the spear, arrows, bolts – all of them were pierced through his body.

"He can’t be saved.."

They immediately thought so. If they found another soldier who suffered the same injuries, they would not let him suffer and my first thought would be to put him at ease.

But she wouldn’t do that to this man, she absolutely won’t let him die. At that moment, she had to let him lay in bed, although the battle was still going on right now outside the gate and there was no help. They threw away the heavy armour, lifted him up and carried him into the town with the help of the villagers.

The King, who was quite muscular, was more than twice of Amber's weight. Her whole body was screaming, her muscles were hurting as if they were being torn apart. But she couldn’t drop him or pull back. Even if her limbs were torn off she would be fine, as long as she get him to a safe location to let him sleep as soon as possible….

They finally arrived and laid him down at the town square to call the soldiers to allow them to borrow a bed, and had them call the doctor. But the doctor’s, as well as the others' expression were dark. No matter how anyone looked at it, it was a fatal wound. She would give out as much money as necessary to get them to use the best medicine, but they told her that he lost too much blood and that he wouldn’t last even one night.

That day Amber was outside the resident’s house, sitting down as if guarding the door. Even if she was inside there was nothing she could do, and if her King died then she felt like she would kill the doctor.

Eventually, the doctor’s movements began to panic. At first he was doing his best to care for him, but whether it was his well-trained body, or because of the blessings from the war god, it seems the possibility that he would recover was increasing.

Because his wounds could rot if he was left in an unsanitary place, they carried him to the feudal lord’s mansion. It’s something rude to say, but it was normal for the regular citizens’ homes to have rodents and insects crawling in them. Starting with the large dark elf, Zucca, they gathered strong men from the squad, and moved the King to the bed without letting it shake.

And then they arrived at that moment. Thinking about it, three days have passed since then. For three days, Amber have been sleeping with other girls on his bed together. When he departed, she was ready to quickly follow after him , even if it was a place like the underworld she felt like they could do it together.

But there is no need to do that anymore. She could feel herself falling asleep with peace of mind for a few seconds.
