D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad

Chapter 1373 Chapter 1373 I’m a Professional I Swear

?— Blue —

Blue found herself the softest mattress she’d ever felt. Already the pain in her limbs was disappearing. The room she was in had light green walls, a dark green ceiling and a glowing light in the corner that she’d guess was meant to mimic the sun. Next to her bed stood two Thyme’s in nurse outfits. Slightly different nurse outfits true, but both had one on.

The first was a female Thyme that looked to be moments away from either her boobs or butt bursting out of her clothes. They hid didn’t hide much, and the outfit only went down low enough to hide anything naught… as long as ‘she’ was standing straight up. ‘She’ had a clipboard in two hands and was looking at Blue with a soft expression.

The male nurse also seemed to be bursting out of ‘his’ clothes… but it was because of the fact that ‘he’ looked exceptionally ripped. Not even March had more muscles, though it would be a close contest. There was also a bunch of fluffy moss sticking out of the chest area in a mimicry of chest hair.

Blue felt her cheeks redden as she looked away from them both. It was quite clear why they were like that but… “Why are you both like that?!” hissed Blue.

Female Nurse Thyme said, “It’s been shown that adventurers are more likely to relax around people they find sexually appealing. To avoid making assumptions, we provided two different figures for you to pick from. Of course, you can choose something else if you want. This is to help you calm down,”

“Um… can like… whoever stays just look… normal? I’m a touch freaked out by this. I mean… yeah no I’d like one of you to be more normal,” said Blue.

“Of course,” said the Male Nurse Thyme. “We still have a few questions for you though. Would you prefer a female nurse or a male nurse? Additionally would you prefer the fast healing or the slow healing?”

“Um… just stick with the female nurse. I mean… it doesn’t really matter because it’s still Thyme… but I guess I’d feel better with a female nurse. Um… what’s the difference between fast healing and slow healing?” replied Blue warily looking over at the pair again. The male nurse had already vanished and the female one now had much more reasonable proportions. If Blue was really paying attention she might notice that the nurse actually matched Blue’s own proportions perfectly.

Thyme smiled softly and said, “Well, slow healing will heal you slowly over the roughly thirty minutes your hear in the infirmary. The benefit of this is that the process will also restore your stamina greatly if you chose to do it this way… but your mana regeneration will likely suffer.

“The other side of it, is to heal you quickly. You’ll be restored to full health instantly, but you may feel slightly more fatigued afterwards. You’ll have the rest of your time here to recover as best you can, and the mana density is quite high here. So if you’re careful you can get quite a lot of mana if you know what you’re doing. I do not promise you’ll have your full mana capacity, but neither do I promise to completely remove your fatigue if you’re healed slowly,”

Blue sighed and said, “The fast way is going to hurt isn’t it?”

“Oh yes, certainly, but studies show that if you’re not expecting the pain, it hurts less so I wasn’t going to mention it,” explained Thyme.

Blue let out a long groan. “Well I need my mana… so hit me with the fast way,”

“Of course,” said Thyme. Blue braced herself and suddenly it felt like she was on fire. There was lightning in her veins and lava in her nerves. She thrashed in place on the bed for what felt like hours until it suddenly all cut off. She was panting heavily and sweating all over the place.

“Now that you’ve chosen your method of healing I have a few things for you. Would you like something small to eat as well some water? Additionally, would you like a book to read to pass the time? Or perhaps a pen and paper to work out plans. Finally, would you like to allow others to speak with you, should they enter the infirmary as well?” listed Thyme.

“Um… I’ll take the food and water and… yeah you know what? I think I’ll allow visitors as well,” said Blue.

“Great. In that case, just know that you’re unable to leave your bed for anything at the moment. If you need the bathroom you’ll have to call for me to monitor as you leave. Any spell use against your opponents will be punished with immediate disqualification, good day,” said Thyme as they bowed and walked off.

Blue was about to wonder how long it would take to be served when all of a sudden a tray of food was attached to a mobile table resting over her. It contained a few finger foods as well as a big jug of water and a glass. A blink later and suddenly across from her was March with a frown on her face. It took a few seconds for Blue to register that, but when March growled out. “You little shit,” Blue came to her senses.

Of course, despite the growl and the frown, Blue could see the corners of March’s lip twitching upward. Though March still seemed to be in some pain. She’d clearly chosen to take the slower healing. “I’m a touch surprised you’re here… and that you showed up so fast,” said Blue.

March shrugged and said, “You probably got distracted asking questions. I just asked for the recommended treatment and got everything I needed.” March punctuated this by eating one of the snacks in a single bite… then moving onto an apple and doing the same.

“You know those have seeds in them right?” asked Blue a touch concerned.

“Yeah and I can work out my jaw this way,” said March as if that was a completely normal answer.

“I… ok you do know that’s not normal right?” asked Blue.

“Of course, but it’s what my mother used to do and really, it’s a good idea,” March giggled at the horrified look on Blue’s face. “Don’t worry, my mum made sure I didn’t start doing stuff like that until I was at least Rank 1. Sure I went behind her back a few times and chipped a tooth, but I got the message pretty quickly after that,”

“You seem… less mad then I thought you would be, or even just seemed when I first saw you,” said Blue.

March shrugged as she continued to eat for a few more seconds. After washing the food down with water straight from the jug, March answered, “Eh, I didn’t really want to stay angry. Sure in the moment I was pissed. It made it seem like you were just trying to shaft me on the ending of our fight… but I realised why you’d done it soon after,”

“Oh really?” prodded Blue.

“Yeah. It was because this way you get back first. We were both injured heavily, and I don’t know how to heal, I’m guessing you don’t either. So you were left mostly bad options. Try to fight, try to run… or flip the table and get healed first knowing that I’ll need the same healing,” explained March.

“Yup!” said Blue making sure to pop the ‘p’. “I was a bit delirious from blood loss, and definitely panicking but I think I made the right choice… well, that choice was the right one. I’m thinking that choosing to fight you was definitely wrong,”

“Why did you do that anyway? Don’t get me wrong I was trying to goad you into it, but I didn’t think it was all that effective,” said March.

Blue sighed, “Yeah it wasn’t… but I was worried that you’d team up with another person, or another two people, or heck, just the rest of the group. I’ve got… or I mean I HAD a lot of treasures and even if you guys split them, it’d still be a great haul. Not sure how you’d get a winner after that. Either by fighting each other for the treasures, or trying to take each other out… but I was pretty sure I was at the biggest risk,”

“Eh, not really my style… but I might’ve done it anyway,” added March.

Blue nodded along for a few moments before throwing in her current thoughts. “Yeah, it’s a decent worry… but I think, now at least, that I still should’ve run. Just… picked up as many treasures as I could, then keep running even after the net shrinks. I’m certain that nobody can catch me underwater if I’m really trying. Running out of mana is a bit of a worry, but I think I could last long enough, especially if I tempted a few people by throwing away treasure as I ran.

“Really, I just need more treasure then everyone else. I don’t get a bonus for having twice or three times the number of points, and whoever wins gets to pick from the same combined pool, so it doesn’t matter all that much,”𝘪𝑎.
