Chapter 58
When we returned to the villa, everything was ready for the party, even the second Charlie was already awake. In her human form, she listened attentively to our kitty, who, standing over the unconscious Ichiya, showed how to strike correctly, with gusts of wind created after each strike.
- Wendy-san! We beg you to save Ichiya! - the trio of blue pegasus appeared before us, comically bowing.
"It seems he doesn't change his nature," Jura chuckled before shaking his head and walking away in the direction of his guildmates.
"Isn't it his own fault?" I asked curiously.
"We ask!" the three repeated in chorus.
- Can I cure him? - asked the younger Wendy, clearly hesitantly, tugging a little at the edge of her clothing. God, how cute she is! I hope Elsa and I have children like her.
- Of course you can. - I answered immediately and was the first to go to Charlie's duo.
"Girls, I'll borrow this trash from you," I said to the cat girls and before they could answer, I grabbed the unconscious pervert by the scruff of the neck and carried him at arm's length towards Wendy.
- Where to put him?
- Um. - the girl clearly did not expect such actions, and therefore for a moment her gaze darted around the room, looking for where it would be better to place the patient, but soon she calmed down and, making a serious face, said. - He should be placed in one of the rooms so that after the treatment he can rest peacefully.
- Okay, I think he won't mind being in the same room as last time. Will you come with us? - I turned to Elsa.
- No. I'll wait for you with Charlie. - Elsa shook her head.
- As you say. Let's go Wendy. - I said, getting ready to head towards the living quarters. However, I was stopped by a trio of pegasi standing in front of me.
"Lady, please allow us to take your burden," Hibiki said, stepping forward.
After carefully examining the handsome guy, I decided that as a mage he should be strong enough to hold the unconscious Ichiya. So without thinking much more, I threw him into the guy's arms and continued on my way.
"I'm so sorry," I heard Wendy's apologetic voice behind me.
- N-no big deal. I suggested it myself. - the guy answered the girl tensely. Right, he was an archive mage, not a fighter. It completely slipped my mind, however, as was said, he suggested it himself, and his friends would definitely not remain on the sidelines.
5 minutes later.
I watched Wendy carefully as she treated Ichiya. Honestly, I can't help but admire this little girl. She didn't have the advantages I had in the form of a past life and system, and she studied with Grandeeney much less than me, but she mastered healing magic so well. After all, this is not attack magic, where you just need to put in a lot of effort to get any result, here you need systematic training. You need to know anatomy and much more. The only thing she lacks now to become an amazing combat healer is strength and experience.
- That's it, all he needs to do is rest and he'll be fine tomorrow, - Wendy said with a satisfied smile as she walked away from the patient.
- Thank you! - the trio of pegasi exclaimed in unison, bowing. By God, they seemed to be parodying the yakuza, where loyal henchmen thank for saving the life of their leader.
- Great job Wendy, you learned Grandina's lessons well, - I praised the girl.
"I haven't done that much," the girl said, embarrassed.
- Don't belittle your achievements, there are very few wizards who could compare to you at the same age, and in healing, even among adults, only a few will be better than you.
- Ladies, - Hibiki addressed us, - we should return to the celebration, since we have already been absent for an unacceptably long time.
- You can go, we'll catch up with you later. - I waved the guys off and when they left us I focused all my attention on Wendy.
"Do you want to go to the party?" I asked the girl, to which she silently shook her head.
"Okay," I nodded, realizing she was definitely not in a festive mood. "Then how about we talk about Grandin?"
"Yes, I would like to," Wendy immediately perked up.

- How did you become so strong? We are the same age, after all. - Charlie asked Charlie.
- I have been trained by two monsters for most of my life, - our kitty answered.
"Two monsters?" Charlie asked.
- Yes. Even though I love Elsa and Wendy, they are simply monsters in terms of training. When I was only a year old and they found out that Exceeds grow much faster... - realizing that she had just the perfect listener for complaining about how she was trained, Charly did not hold back, and the seemingly completely sincere reactions, probably even from her sister, she became even more heated, at least that was the case until the conversation turned to the gift of prophecy.
- To be honest, I was both shocked and happy when I found out that no task was given to me at birth, but that it was simply a manifestation of the strongest gift of prediction, inherited from my mother, I was lucky...
"Stop…" the other Charlie suddenly stopped her.
- I... I saw it too. - The cat girl's eyes began to fill with tears. - I thought I had to kill...
- Shhh, - Charlie hurried to hug her newfound sister. - Hush, dear, everything is fine.
- And... and then, that she betrayed her people. - the girl began to cry even more.
"Don't worry, you didn't betray anyone," Charlie said, stroking her head.
- What happened? - Elsa's worried voice suddenly rang out, and the space a meter away from them became distorted.
"Nothing bad," Charlie answered her with a caring smile, continuing to stroke the slightly quieter cat girl.
