Sherisa limped to Henry’s bed and sat down.
Henry also noticed something was wrong with her.
Sherisa’s delicate little feet were now swollen with a large lump, revealing a large patch of bruising, the sprain was very severe.
However, there was no change in expression on her face, she maintained her smile throughout.
“You’re injured.”
Henry knelt halfway down in front of Sherisa, holding up her feet to examine them carefully.
It wasn’t just a simple sprain, there were also some blisters on her feet.
She must have kept following the main group, and her feet had become chafed as a result.
Being held by Henry’s feet, Sherisa pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking about.
“How did you manage to persist all this way? With such a serious injury, I would have given up long ago.”
It was hard to imagine how a girl like Sherisa, who had been raised in wealth from childhood, had managed to persist.
You have to know that after a normal person sprains their ankle, they don’t dare to keep walking, let alone the long distance they had traveled.
However, precisely because Sherisa had walked such a long distance, her legs had now reached the point where they couldn’t move freely at all.
If not careful, she could easily become permanently disabled.
“This matter is very important, I cannot take it lightly.’ After saying this, she looked at Henry and continued to add. ‘Of course, this doesn’t mean I don’t trust you, I just want to make this matter resolved more steadily.”
Henry didn’t think much about it. In his view, Sherisa’s appearance here already showed her importance to this matter.
After carefully examining Sherisa’s legs, his expression became grave.
“Your legs can’t move anymore in the short term. You don’t want to spend your whole life in a wheelchair, do you?”
“Then would you find me troublesome if I were sitting in a wheelchair?”
“Of course it would be troublesome. Someone would have to take care of eating, drinking, and relieving yourself, and everything would be inconvenient. I wouldn’t be willing.”
“Then would you take care of me?” Sherisa looked at Henry with expectation.
Unfortunately, Henry rolled his eyes at her and didn’t understand her meaning.
He took out a bottle of medicinal wine from his luggage, which was something Lilith had given him. He hadn’t expected it would be used on Sherisa.
He crouched down, using [Healing Hands] while applying medicine to Sherisa.
When Henry touched the bruised area, Sherisa unconsciously furrowed her brow.
But she bit her lip hard and didn’t let any sound escape from her mouth.
She didn’t want Henry to see her vulnerable side.
No wonder [Healing Hands] was a divine skill. After his brief treatment, Sherisa’s legs showed obvious improvement, at least they didn’t look as swollen as when he first saw them.
However, that was the extent of it. If she wanted to recover completely, she needed to go back and rest properly.
“Sherisa, you can’t stay here anymore. Find someone to take you back.”
“No, Henry, I can’t leave here. I’ve already found the location of the family contact person. I need to go ask what exactly happened.”
With that, Sherisa tried to get up and leave.
But her action also angered Henry.
Damn it! Was she blind to such a big living person like him here?
What if she completed the mission and it didn’t count as his? How would that work?
He still wanted to fly on a sword in the sky!
He picked up Sherisa’s slender body and pressed her down on the bed.
Sherisa was also startled by Henry’s action.
She had never expected Henry to treat her so roughly!
But Henry stared at her face with a serious expression, making her feel hot all over.
He… is he worried about me?
Sherisa murmured in her heart.
“Leave this matter to me. Now you stay here and recover properly, then wait for my news. Before I return, don’t move around, or you’ll be sorry!”
Henry warned seriously, but in Sherisa’s view, this was completely a sign of caring about her.
And Henry’s mind was full of scenes of himself flying on a sword!
Seeing Henry being so domineering, Sherisa could only nod in agreement.
However, Henry’s position straddling her was indeed somewhat ambiguous. Although there was no one around, she still had to show a lady’s reserve.
“Henry, can you get off me? If mother sees this, she’ll be angry.”
Hearing Lady Reina’s name, Henry’s body jerked violently, then he immediately jumped off the bed.
If Lady Reina knew he was straddling her daughter, she would probably appear at his bedside in the middle of the night and solve him with one slash.
Thinking of this, Henry put his palms together and bowed apologetically to Sherisa!
“This matter absolutely cannot be told to your mother. For this, I’ll do anything!”
Very craftsman-like spirit!
Seeing Henry’s behavior, Sherisa couldn’t help but laugh.
Sure enough, during dangerous times like this, Henry’s words always made people inexplicably relax.
“Alright, on a certain house in the village, there’s a blue cowboy hat hanging. That’s where the contact person for this village lives. The Noel Family’s contact person lost contact starting from here.”
After Sherisa finished speaking seriously, suddenly, low groaning came from the next room again.
‘Ow, why does my head hurt so much? Who exactly was attacking me?‘
Pierre climbed up from the ground.
He really didn’t know what had knocked him unconscious.
Ever since coming to this village, he had been constantly passing out, not knowing whether he was unlucky or being set up.
‘No, I need to find soldiers to protect me.‘
Pierre rolled and crawled to the door, his hand just touching the door handle when, suddenly, the sword hilt struck the back of his head again.
This time, Pierre’s entire body slid down against the door and fell to the ground.
On the other side, Henry, who had just used his Flying Sword, let out a light breath.
The Flying Sword quickly returned to his side.
Recently, his use of the Flying Sword had become more and more skilled. Now even through a wall, he could accurately hit his target.
Sherisa, on the other hand, looked at Henry with excitement all over her face.
She knew the fact that Henry had no magical power, but this made her even more curious about Henry’s abilities.
“Henry, how exactly did you get this sword control technique? To be able to drive it without using magic is too amazing!”
Being praised, Henry seemed a bit carried away.
He wiped his nose, his expression exactly like that GIF of Wang Yousheng from A Certain Sword.
“Talent, it’s all talent! God closed a window for me, but opened a door.”
What else could he say?
Could he say this was the mysterious power of the East guiding him?
No, it was the power of the system!
“I’m leaving now. If you encounter any danger, just shout for help toward the window. I will definitely rush to your side!”
Henry picked up his sword and turned to leave.
But before leaving, Sherisa called out to him.
“Henry!”
“Hmm?”
“You must protect yourself. Even if the mission fails, it doesn’t matter.”
“Don’t worry, don’t underestimate the bond between me and my Flying Sword!”
