394: Awful medicine

Awful medicine

Eventually, everyone decided to split their group into two. Going to the medical facility were Instructor Torr, Instructor Musk, the five students in class A, and the guard. Goki, Yman, Rea, Yana, Almina, Maena, and Ice entered the Skyscraper building.0

As soon as they entered the first floor of the building, what greeted them were blood and corpses. People's bodies and blood were scattered around. Even the innocent people who work only sensibly were not spared by opponents.

"Tsk! You ruthless bastard!" Goki gritted his teeth as he said angrily when he saw the situation inside.

Even Ice frowned. Almina and Maena were no different either. This was the consequence when a city had poor security. Opponents could easily invade and quickly sow havoc on them. Yman noticed two tugs on the hem of his shirt. They were from his sister and Rea. He shouldn't have brought them here to avoid them from witnessing such a gruesome scene.

However, it was also okay that everyone knows the real situation of the city. To make everyone aware of how dangerous their situation in this place that everyone thought was like a vacation in another world.

Right.

They didn't come to this world for a mere vacation. They came here to study and at the same time became the city's defenders. And because the competition for resources is fierce in every country in the world where everyone comes from, it is inevitable to have an attack on their city in this world. Yman understood the situation.

But still.

This is a massacre.

While looking at the awful scene in front of him, Yman noticed something. Sneaking a glance at everyone, he noticed that everyone seemed to be weakening and losing their will.

In his mind, Yman thought, 'Perhaps the enemy did it on purpose to let people know how ruthless they are and to weaken everyone's resolve through fear.'

Right.

Whoever tried to come here and was greeted by such things, would definitely lose their focus. Anger and fear would slowly take over and would then easily provoke. Yman was well-aware of such things. Such a cold-blooded trick was ineffective against him.

Though, in his mind, 'Such a way of casting debuffs to their pursuer,' Yman thought.

Inside the facility where Yman was raised, seeing blood was a common scene to him. It was just like breakfast, lunch, and dinner with him. So it didn't matter to him. But, that doesn't mean it doesn't matter to him, it also doesn't matter to others. Except for him, everyone seemed to be affected by it.

To prevent everyone from having trauma, especially his sister and Rea, he gave a strange medicine to his sister and Rea.

These medicines were right from his Cyber ​​Storage. Sistela made it using the exotic plants they saw on the trip back to this city. Some of the ingredients in making them were from the garden of the Little Garden Alchemy Department.

Yman stored them there for emergency purposes. While traveling, he just lets Sistela practice her proficiency in making medicine.

Because it was from her brother, Yana no longer hesitated. After removing the lid, she immediately gulped down its contents. But, "Blerg—!" She seemed to be sick of the taste of it. "B-Big bro, it tastes bad," Yana said while holding herself back from vomiting. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Yman placed his hand at her back and rubbed it gently while showing a wry smile. "They say that the worse the medicine tastes, the more effective it is," he told her.

Rea looked at the bottle first. Its contents have a strange color. A mixture of different colors. Before she drank it she first asked Crimson. "What's this for?"

Yman's answer was, "It's just an immunity booster. Drink to make you feel better," he said in a calm tone as usual. Rea was honestly surprised at Yman's calmness even with the gruesome scene in front of them. Maybe this is how the members of the adventurer guild are, or maybe he was just unique.

Yman added saying, "They are aiding you to boost your immunity against trauma and fear."

'He is truly unbelievable,' Rea secretly thought.

After she took off the bottle's cap, Rea smelled it first. Just like what Yana said, the smell was so strong that it could hurt one's nose. But seeing Yana's bravery in drinking it, how could she not?

Rea pinched her nose before she drank it. Then, she drank it in one gulp. Right after that, "Bler—!" Yman immediately covered her mouth to prevent her from vomiting the medicine. Rea made muffled sounds as she struggled to remove his hand. However, although Yman didn't give more strength in doing it, Rea was actually hesitating to remove his hand. As the result, after a couple of seconds, when the medicine entered her stomach, Rea suddenly felt a different kind of calmness. But she felt embarrassed with Crimson's hand covering her mouth, so she bit it.

*Crunch!*

"Eek!"

Yman yelped slightly. Rea looked away as she said, "I-It's your fault, hmph!" Yman just scratched the back of his head. Although it was kind of rude to do it with the princess, for Rea, however, it was permissible.

Honestly, Rea was impressed at the medicine. It was truly effective. She felt so calm right away.

Yman smiled after seeing that Rea and Yana's countenance now looks fine. He took more and gave them to everyone.

Almina immediately accepted the bottle and drank it without further question. However, the medicine was so strong that she instructed Yman to cover her mouth as well.

A bead of sweat appeared at Yman's back. In her mind, 'Almina looks like a child. But honestly, she's cute.' Nonetheless, he was a little shy to do it with Almina. Especially since it would surely touch her lips. So Yman stepped back a little, trying to move away from her. But she caught his shirt. Yman had no way to escape. By the way! Why did she want him to do it?! Yman was flabbergasted.

Seeing his reaction, Rea's brow slightly raised. At a speed quicker than the speed of light, she moved her hand to cover Almina's mouth.

*Tap!*

"Gwah!" Almina freaked out. But that resulted in her gulping the medicine down.

*Gulp!*

A few seconds later, "Rea, why did you do that?" With teary eyes, Almina asked.

"Uh, erm… just helping a friend. I guess…" she said with her eyes swimming left to right. Rea thought Almina would get angry. Unexpectedly, Almina hugged her as she whispered in her ears, "Oh. Thank you, friend."

"Guh!" Rea's eyes turned white and her spirit seemed to slip away through her mouth. Almina's action dealt more damage to Rea. It seemed like she was dying of cringe. Regardless, her thoughts of Almina already improved a lot.

Maena, on the other hand, was still hesitant to accept the medicine. But eventually, she accepted it as well. She didn't want Almina to beat her, so she had to show that she could drink it better without being affected by the awfulness of the medicine. Even when she was young, taking medicine was nothing to her no matter how bad their taste.

With brows formed into 'V', she glanced at Almina, then to the medicine in her hand. She thought, 'Almina is weak. She can't even drink medicine on her own. Pathetic loser.' Then, without wasting time, she gulped it.

Looking at Almina and Rea, Yman smiled at the scene. He also saw his sister with twinkling eyes and her mouth formed into an 'o'. It seemed like she wanted to join their hug.

At that moment,

BLEEEUUURRRGGGHHH !!!

Everyone heard a vomit sound.
