Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 76 It’s Over

After Cecilia closed her eyes, her body went completely limp in my hands.

I was afraid that she had even stopped breathing, so I quickly put my finger under her nose.

Feeling that she was still breathing and then checking that she still had a pulse, I let out a sigh of relief. However, I didn't let myself relax just yet since I knew that she was injured.

I quickly brought Cecilia up onto the horse and turned to ride back into the town.

I had thought about getting the priest as well, but I saw that the other knights and soldiers had made their way over. When they saw me with Cecilia on my horse, they just gave a nod before turning to take care of the priest. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡．𝙘𝙤𝙢

Since they were going to take care of the priest, there was no need for me to care.

Instead, that meant that I could completely focus on Cecilia instead.

So without hesitation, I rode back into the town with Cecilia on the back of my horse.

As soon as we arrived, the gates opened without any delay. The gatekeepers had even been waiting for us to come up to open the gate.

They could have opened the gate before we came up, but they chose to follow orders and not do so. That was the kind of professionalism that they chose, even though it didn't make sense to me.

When we came in, everyone immediately surrounded us…or rather, everyone suddenly surrounded Cecilia to make sure that she was alright.

I was thrown aside like chopped liver.

But I didn't mind since I was worried about her as well. Though I did at least keep certain people away at first. These were the ones that wanted to take advantage of the situation to let their hands wander a bit.

When they tried to bring their hands forward, I firmly grabbed it and glared at them.

When I was protecting her, the strength that erupted from my hand was much greater than normal. At the same time, the people whose hands I grabbed couldn't help shrinking back in front of my glare.

Eventually a doctor came over and everyone backed away to give the doctor space. With the doctor here, there was no one that had any excuse to do anything.

The doctor quickly looked over her and found that other than a few bruises, she was fine. The only reason that she had fainted in the first place was that she was exhausted and the line of her tension was cut.

All she needed was to be patched up and she would be fine.

The doctor suggested getting one of the clerics healing her, but I stopped them. The doctor looked at me with a strange look when I said this, but I still insisted.

After all, all she had were minor injuries and there were still many others that needed healing from the cleric. There had been many casualties from the rock bombardment of the monsters…

If it meant that even a single life couldn't be saved because a cleric was healing her, I'm sure that she wouldn't want that.

I also wouldn't let her bear that cross.

So the doctor just wrapped a few bandages on her.

As the doctor was doing this, Baroness Rose came over.

She had been busy with managing the rest of this town and dealing with the citizens hiding, so the message of Cecilia being injured came to her late.

But as soon as she received that message, she dropped everything to run over.

When she saw Cecilia lying there, being wrapped up by the doctor, there was a mist that appeared in her eyes. She didn't care about anything as she ran over, but I quickly grabbed her before she could get too close.

Baroness Rose immediately revealed an angry look as she said, "Who dares? Let go of me this instant!"

Part of that rage was from being stopped and part of that rage came from being grabbed by an unknown man.

She didn't want just any person touching her body.

She didn't recognize me because I had come up from behind her and she had been focused on Cecilia.

So I said, "Calm down, it's me, it's me."

Baroness Rose had been struggling until she heard this voice. She then looked at me with a confused look, as if she was asking, "What are you doing?"

I calmly said, "She's fine, she's just exhausted. She has a few bruises and the doctor is wrapping her up right now. Don't distract them."

All the anger disappeared from her face and she calmed down a bit, but then she asked in a slightly hurt voice, "Why didn't you get a cleric to heal her?"

The way she said this, it almost seemed like she thought that I didn't care about Cecilia.

I didn't know how irrational she was because of her worry, so I knew that words might not work.

So instead…

I didn't answer her question and instead, I turned to look at one of the clerics that was currently healing someone on the ground.

This person had suffered much heavier injuries as they had been crushed by one of the stones that the monsters had thrown.

To his side was his wife who was in tears as she watched the cleric healing him.

Baroness Rose followed the direction that I was looking in and she also saw this scene of the cleric healing this person.

Her expression calmed down and she no longer had the same worry as before.

She immediately understood what I was implying and she no longer had that look of blame that she had.

After a long while, she couldn't help giving a sigh before turning to hold me. As she held me, she put her head into my chest and asked, "Is it all over?"

I looked at the destruction that was all over the town and there was a sad feeling that filled me.

But in the end, I patted her on the back and said, "Yes, it's over."
