The Exiled First-born of the Noble House. Rising to the Top With the Worthless Skill [Null Poison]

Recovery

After returning back to Isabelle’s home, the next three days passed by in the blink of an eye.

As for what we did in these last 3 days, well, quite literally nothing.
I just lazed around on the bed rolling around, doing nothing and just chilling.

It’s been a while since I had the leeway to just live in such self-indulgence but, thanks to that, I was also able to make a full recovery as well.

All the pain and fatigue had completely disappeared, and I could fight normally once again.

Unlike when I had fought through the cave of Bahamut, I didn’t have any major injuries in the first place which certainly helped but, I also think that the healer that Charlotte provided went a long way to fully heal me up.

From the moment I woke up, I could feel my body was in tip-top shape plus, the speed with which my fatigue disappeared was also levels apart from the usual.

Anyway, the point was that I was back to perfect health.
And as for Ralf and Esta…….

These two didn’t exactly have to push themselves to limit in the first place so, they had already recovered by the time we went back to Isabelle’s home.

And like Ralf had talked about when we were at the knight’s quarters, he headed out again straight to the Peixa forest to check up on Snow, and meanwhile, Esta who remained with me in the capital, decided to get some shopping done in the meantime.

By the way, since we had completely annihilated the [Under Eye] organization, there wasn’t really a need for us to remain at Isabelle’s place anymore but, I didn’t have the willpower to make a move to a normal inn yet so we decided to extend the stay just a few days more.

Depending on how the meeting with Charlotte tonight goes, I do plan finally saying goodbye to Isabelle’s home but, we do need to prepare a large sum of money in that case as well.

Lying face up on the bed, while I was in deep thought………suddenly, I heard the door of the house getting opened.

Since Isabelle and Esta were already in the living room, I figured Ralf had probably finally returned.

I strained my ears while still on the bed to listen, and as expected, Ralf’s boisterous voice came clear to me.

“Oi, I’m back! Has Chris healed up yet?”

Energetically swinging open the door to my room, Ralf spoke with a wide smile.

I was curious about Snow as well so I was hoping to ask all that but……..judging by his mood, I could already tell that there were no problems and that Snow was doing fine.

“Yeah, I’ve made a full recovery.
It took you some time to come back huh.
Considering the distance, I thought you’d be back in a day, no?”

“Snow seemed to have missed us a lot so I stayed with him as long as I could! By the way, Snow’s doing as well as you’d expect! It even made a bunch of new friends and seemed to be relatively enjoying itself!”

Good hear that Snow’s been lively but………Friends?

Peixa forest barely had any monsters, so I was confused over just what exactly did it befriend?

Well, it did somehow enjoy its time with the squirrel in the Carlisle forest, so I assume it’s probably made friends with a small animal or something.

That, or perhaps because I hunted the Duke Urus, maybe the original ecosystem of the forest had crumbled completely causing other monsters and animals to come there.

If it was the latter, I’d feel a bit bad but, then again, a livelier forest filled with animals is a lot more natural I suppose, so maybe I didn’t do a bad thing.

“Regardless, I’m glad it’s been doing well.
Also, depending on how today’s meeting goes, I’ll go and get Snow back afterwards as well.”

“I’ll also come with you again! I did promise it that I’ll come to meet it again soon after all!”

“Sure, I don’t mind either way.
Esta’s in the living room by the way, so give her the news as well.”

“Oh right! I probably should! I’m sure she’s also worried and is waiting to get the news!”

Saying that, Ralf rushed out of the room and headed to Esta.

Well, that’s one of my worries taken care of so now, we just have to wait till it’s night time.

Deciding to sleep a little more just to make sure I was in perfect condition, I went back to sleep.

Since then, I slept until it was dark outside, and once our prep was done, we made our way to [Lemon Kid] again at the allotted time.

Having gotten used to it, we quickly entered the store and headed to secret room at the back.

I could sense multiple presences from inside the room, and from what I could tell, it was the exact same people as last time.

And just like last time, I could see that someone was waiting right beside the door, ready to launch an attack at me the moment I enter.

Feeling annoyed that I have to deal with this shit again, I understood that it couldn’t be helped…….and the moment I entered, I unsheathed Vendettatein as well.

And sure enough, as soon as I entered, the attack came but, if I know that its coming in advance, there’s really no problem at all.

I blocked the oncoming sword attack, and countered with a front kick into his solar plexus.

The one who attacked this time was that dumb knight Gautier , and while he was twisting his body while holding down on his stomach from the pain, I made sure to not let that chance go and launched another high kick aimed at his chin.

Enhanced with [Leg Strength Enhancement] and [Hard Hit], my kick made a clean impact with his chin, and his brains must have been shook from the impact as Gautier flopped unconscious face first on to the ground.

I could tell that Charlotte would raise her voice to stop me, so I quickly executed this combo to bring him down instantly, which made me quite relieved.

If he remained awake, he’d continue to constantly stay annoying plus, I had a lot of residual anger towards Gautier still left within me so it felt quite nice to take it all out on him, and the final result was to my satisfaction.
