The Matter of My Party Members Being Aware of My Desire to Be Banished - Chapter 26

“Please come to the Alves residence now!”

Upon returning to the room, a calmer Yuni-san raised her voice.

After a while, Yuni-san, who was guiding us home, stopped.

That must mean we’ve arrived at her house.

However, in front of us was a giant gate and a sturdy, tall wall encompassing the area.

And then…

“Miss Yuni!?”

“Did you sneak out of the mansion again!?”

“Who are these people!?”

Around 6-7 gatekeepers began to burst upon seeing Yuni-san and us.

Some even reached for the swords sheathed at their sides…

“No time to explain now. Quickly, take these people to the mansion! And to my mother!”

At Yuni-san’s urgent voice, the gatekeepers moved swiftly.

A group of them slowly opened the heavy doors to either side.

And what appeared was… a mansion that far exceeded our imaginations, with an enormous fountain and a strangely large garden.

We rushed down the open pathway in the center.

“What kind of person is Yuni-san…”

As I glanced at the unfamiliar scenery, such words slipped out.

“This is definitely nobility. And also…”

“Looks like Shi-chan’s intuition was right.”

Shion and Honoka looked troubled again.

But, saving Yuni-san’s mother is the priority!

“This is…”

Marn-san looked somewhat gloomy.

◆◆

“Mother! I’ve returned!!”

Yuni-san burst open the door.

It was evidently a bedroom.

“Miss Yuni!?”

“Miss Yuni! Who are these people behind you!?”

The maids and butlers inside widened their eyes in surprise… but ignoring that,

Yuni-san ran straight to the canopy bed at the back.

The person on the bed was only seen as a silhouette from the curtain-like cloth… but as we moved closer to Yuni-san’s side, we could see her.

“Yuni…”

“Mother!”

A woman, who looked extremely pale and so thin her bones were showing, was lying there.

The severity of the situation left us speechless.

The woman’s hollow eyes caught Yuni-san and our gaze.

“…Yuni? Who are these people…?”

“These people might be able to cure your illness!”

“!?”

Yuni-san’s words caused a stir among those present. But that’s not what we should be concerned about now.

Marn-san immediately started to move.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Marn. I’ve heard about the circumstances from Miss Yuni. May I have a look at your condition?”

“…”

The woman’s hollow gaze moved from Marn-san to Yuni-san.

“Mother, please rest assured. These people… Marn-san can be trusted.”

Yuni-san firmly grasped the woman’s slender hand.

“…”

The woman’s gaze returned to Marn-san.

“My name is Yurie… Please, do take care of me…”

“Yes.”

Marn-san also nodded firmly in response.

Then, Marn-san sat on a nearby chair and started the examination.

She meticulously checked the face, body…

“…I see.”

Marn-san quietly nodded.

“Marn-san!”

With an almost praying pose, Yuni-san looked on the verge of tears.

To her, Marn-san smiled once and then closed her eyes with concentration.

“≪Heal≫”

She uttered just one word.

Yurie-san’s body was enveloped in a brighter than usual light.

“…”

From Yurie-san, a pained moan leaked out.

But the grim expression quickly softened…and with that, the light enveloping her body also slowly faded.

“Now, Yurie-sama, please try to sit up slowly.”

“Sit up…”

Yurie-san’s voice was mixed with hesitation and anxiety.

“It’s okay. You are free now.”

As Marn-san smiled and nodded firmly, Yurie-san clenched her fist as if gaining strength——

——And Yurie-san smoothly sat up.

“…”

Yurie-san was surprised.

Her lips trembled.

Yurie-san further placed her feet on the ground from the bed.

Then…stood up.

“I can stand up… I’m not in pain anywhere anymore…”

A single tear ran down Yurie-san’s cheek before more and more tears started falling.

“Oh, Mother…”

“Yuni…”

“Mother!”

“Yuni!!”

Yuni-san and Yurie-san embraced each other tightly.

“Marn-san…”

Knowing the outcome from the moving scene in front of us, we still wanted to hear it from Marn-san.

“Fufu, yes. She is completely cured.”

“〜〜〜!”

At Marn-san’s gentle smile, I instinctively made a victory gesture.

“I’m glad to see your smiles return. Well done, Marn, good work.”

“Good job, Ma-san. And I’m glad both of you are well~”

Shion and Honoka also showed their relief with smiles.

“Everyone said the disease was unknown, but you cured it instantly!?”

“And that Elf lady, she used a basic heal for healing…”

“…Hmm”

The maids and butlers seemed more perplexed than happy.

Someone who had just healed a long-standing mysterious disease suddenly appeared. It’s natural to have such reactions.

“Good, really good… My mother…”

“It’s good… It’s so good… To be able to hold Yuni tightly again…”

Looking back at the two, their faces were drenched in tears, yet that scene seemed incredibly heartwarming.

As the room filled with moving tears and a warm atmosphere.

“By the way—Is it too early to celebrate fully?”

The one who made this statement, cutting through the atmosphere, was—Marn-san, our benefactor.

“…Eh?”

Confused gazes and voices concentrated on Marn-san.

Marn-san slowly began to speak, her eyes filled with seriousness.

“The thing tormenting Yurie-sama was not some unknown disease. It was something far more malicious…”

Marn-san looked around everyone present—and announced.

“The thing that was tormenting Yurie-sama was—a curse.”
