No More Pain For This Villain.
45 Hiding The Evidence.
Silence
I exhaled heavily and looked about it. There is a bleeding, decapitated corpse in front of me, and the area is simply too calm. I was unable to utilise the flaming tornado spell I had intended to use earlier, but I was still able to escape the situation by rapidly killing Kyle with the inferno bolt. However, as a result of that, I am currently in a very bad state.
Sigh
My left side of my chest has a large wound, and blood is seeping out of it too quickly, making my brain sluggish and slow to react to anything.
To take the healing potion out, I slowly reached for my pants' back pocket. The sparkling, green liquid was spilled into my wound after I drew it out and cracked open the vial with my thumb.
Despite the fact that I know it will be more effective if I consume it rather than merely apply it topically, I am currently unable to even consider breathing normally, let alone drinking anything.
Drip
Strangely, a warm sensation began to spread across the areas where the potion had felt simultaneously relaxing and slightly stingy.
After a short while, I witnessed the regeneration and reattachment of my skin as well as the reconnection of my muscles and tissues. Even though it was revolting to witness your insides shift around, everything ended up where it was supposed to.
"Ugh," I said, slightly changing my sitting posture. I might be fully healed, but that doesn't mean that it also takes away the tiredness and dizziness.
'Now what?'From our thought communication, Blaze questioned, He isn't manifesting himself because I'm running low on mana right now; I used up most of it in the last fight.
"Well, give me a second; I'll get rid of this dead body, and then we are free to go." I got up on my feet and walked towards Kyle's corpse.
Squatting near it, I brought my right hand a little forward. The gem on the ring I was wearing on my index finger shone brightly as I pushed a little amount of leftover mana into it.
Swoosh
The entire corpse was instantly drawn into the ring.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
System notification.
[Alert!]
The basic spatial ring capacity is full (7/7).
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I bought this ring right after the fight with Dane and Nyle because I knew that it would be helpful for me to hide the evidence.
I have like six corpses from all groups of goons in it. This ring identifies any non-living thing as an object that can fit into it, so you can guess that it won't work on a living creature but is useful to carry a corpse.
And for your kind information, Kyle weighs more than two hundred pounds, so his body was counted as two things, and now the ring capacity is full.
"Now I just have to hide this ring somewhere where no one will be able to find it." I have a place like that in my mind. As long as someone doesn't get in contact with this small ring, there is no way anyone is going to find the material inside.
'Hoho, now they are not corpses but material, huh? I wonder if you'd call them cow dung after a few more minutes.'Blaze said, Why does he have to be that stingy, huh? I just called them material since it feels bad to use words like "corpse" again and again.
"Anyways, let's get this over with." I said, as I started walking deeper into the woods,
.....
A few minutes' walk got me near a small pond. It's a water source that mana beasts use to drink water from. I saw this one while I was hunting with Anabelle.
Toss.
"And there it goes!" I tossed the ring with full strength into the pond and saw it sink deeper to the bottom. Now I doubt that anyone will ever find out how those guys died.
"Let's go back now, before Anabelle arrives at the location we decided." I don't want to be late and give her a chance to go around looking for me.
"I won't highly recommend that." Blaze interrupted my train of thoughts.
"You won't recommend what?" I asked,
'about you going out like this.' Blaze, and I understood the meaning behind it. I looked down at my body and saw how bloody my clothes were.
Although it has nothing to do with my trousers, the white shirt I was wearing when I first arrived here has been painted with a fresh, blood-stained pattern and is no longer white. Kyle's sword struck me, and that spot is also torn.
"Yeah,if I were to get out looking like this, then I'll surely attract a few gazes, right?" There's no use of all that ring gimmick if people are going to see me getting out of the forest covered in human blood.
"Yes!"I immediately had a simple but effective idea, and that is,
Jump
I dove right into the water; it will undoubtedly wash all of the blood from my body. As for the shirt, I burned it to ashes so that no one would ever know.
In the pond's crystal-clear water, I thoroughly cleansed my body, and to my amazement, I observed a sizable amount of grime and blood being washed away.
After I finish this, I'll go see Anabelle and tell her that I got into problems with a strong mana beast and ended up in this situation, or at least something similar, in the hopes that she will believe the narrative.
Rustle
"Hey Ren! I finally found you." And just at the moment when I thought nothing could go wrong, I heard a familiar voice.
I turned around to take a look while thinking about an excuse for the sudden idea of bathing in the wild like this.
"Oops! I am so sorry; I took you for someone I know." Anabelle apologised the moment I turned to face her. Why is she apologising, though?
"Umm Anabelle?"I was confused.
"Huh?" Anabelle flinched a little. "Is that you, Ren?" She asked cautiously.
"Yeah, it's me." I answered her while scratching the back of my head,
"WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?" Anabelle's voice echoed through the whole forest. She's basically shouting at me.
...
"Pftt, so you thought that I was someone else when you saw my face?" I held my stomach tight because I couldn't bear the pain this good laugh brought me.
"Yeah, yeah, I know how dumb that sounds. You can laugh all you want, but it's not my fault; it's clearly not my fault." Anabelle said she is still embarrassed to the point where the tips of her ears are burning red.
So here's the thing: when Anabelle became agitated that I had not returned after the three hours since we parted, she became concerned for my safety and began searching for me. When she eventually found me in the pond, where I was taking a quick bath, she mistakenly thought I was someone else because I had pulled my fringe back and fully exposed my face. Her recognition of me was prompted only by my voice.
"Okay, fine, then tell me, how is it?" I asked her,
"How is it What?"Anabelle tilted her head a little due to confusion.
"I mean, my face, how is it? Is it handsome?" I leaned forward a little for her to take a good look at my face. I've seen my own face in the mirror countless times since coming to this world, but it's always good to get other people's opinions.
Beauty is in the eyes of beholder so it's better to ask the beholder right?
Thump!
"That is too close." Anabelle nudged me backward. I can see steam coming out of both of her ears.
'Is she embarrassed because of how close my face was to hers?' I thought, If so, then it's a cute gesture.
Phew
"Well, you are a handsome boy; I almost thought you were someone close to my age because of your mature features." Anabelle said, It's like she got her composure back.
We then chatted for a while, and after that, we decided to leave. Anabelle, for some reason, didn't ask about my whereabouts,so I didn't have to make up a story.
Ah, and also, she lent me her robe, saying that it's not healthy for ladies if I go out like this.
'It's supposed to not be good for me, right? Where did other people get into this?' I thought.
"You are too clueless princess." Blaze tried to pick another fight for no reason, but I just ignored him.
.....
"Then what time do we have to meet tomorrow?" Anabelle asked the moment we got out of the Balcker Forest.
"Anabelle, there's something I'd like to tell you." I have something important that I must tell her.
"Umm What is it?" Anabelle sensed the seriousness in my words as she focused her attention on me.
"Ahem, we don't have to meet here anymore since this is supposed to be my last hunt in this forest." I declared it,
One of the many feelings Anabelle was wearing was undoubtedly acceptance.
