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 sheʼd 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 sheʼd guess was meant to mimic the sun. Next to her bed stood two Thymeʼs 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 didnʼt hide much, and the outfit only went down low enough to hide anything naught… as long as ʼsheʼ was standing straight up. ʼSheʼ 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 ʼhisʼ clothes… but it was because of the fact that ʼheʼ 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, ”Itʼs 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? Iʼm a touch freaked out by this. I mean… yeah no Iʼd 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 doesnʼt really matter because itʼs still Thyme… but I guess Iʼd feel better with a female nurse. Um… whatʼs 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 Blueʼs 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. Youʼll be restored to full health instantly, but you may feel slightly more fatigued afterwards. Youʼll have the rest of your time here to recover as best you can, and the mana density is quite high here. So if youʼre careful you can get quite a lot of mana if you know what youʼre doing. I do not promise youʼll have your full mana capacity, but neither do I promise to completely remove your fatigue if youʼre healed slowly,”

Blue sighed and said, ”The fast way is going to hurt isnʼt it?”

”Oh yes, certainly, but studies show that if youʼre not expecting the pain, it hurts less so I wasnʼt 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 youʼve 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… Iʼll take the food and water and… yeah you know what? I think Iʼll allow visitors as well,” said Blue.

”Great. In that case, just know that youʼre unable to leave your bed for anything at the moment. If you need the bathroom youʼll 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 Marchʼs lip twitching upward. Though March still seemed to be in some pain. Sheʼd clearly chosen to take the slower healing. ”Iʼm a touch surprised youʼre 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 thatʼs not normal right?” asked Blue.

”Of course, but itʼs what my mother used to do and really, itʼs a good idea,” March giggled at the horrified look on Blueʼs face. ”Donʼt worry, my mum made sure I didnʼt 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 didnʼt 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 youʼd 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 donʼt know how to heal, Iʼm guessing you donʼt either. So you were left mostly bad options. Try to fight, try to run… or flip the table and get healed first knowing that Iʼll need the same healing,” explained March.

”Yup!” said Blue making sure to pop the ʼpʼ. ”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. Iʼm thinking that choosing to fight you was definitely wrong,”

”Why did you do that anyway? Donʼt get me wrong I was trying to goad you into it, but I didnʼt think it was all that effective,” said March.

Blue sighed, ”Yeah it wasnʼt… but I was worried that youʼd team up with another person, or another two people, or heck, just the rest of the group. Iʼve got… or I mean I HAD a lot of treasures and even if you guys split them, itʼd still be a great haul. Not sure how youʼd 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 mightʼve done it anyway,” added March.

Blue nodded along for a few moments before throwing in her current thoughts. ”Yeah, itʼs a decent worry… but I think, now at least, that I still shouldʼve run. Just… picked up as many treasures as I could, then keep running even after the net shrinks. Iʼm certain that nobody can catch me underwater if Iʼm 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 donʼt 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 doesnʼt matter all that much,”
