Chapter 8: Room Occupied by the new guest

Lying on my luxurious bed in front of me was the girl I had just rescued, though it was unclear whether she really needed saving.

Whilst making my way to my chambers, my system alerted me to a key character in close proximity. I hastened in the opposite direction and soon found myself face to face with a black-cloaked figure. Upon removing her mask, I beheld a stunning elven girl with pointed ears, azure eyes, and hair as white as snow, yet she was bleeding profusely from multiple wounds.

"It hurts," she whimpered as I applied a dressing to her injured hand. Desperately, she implored me to use magic to ease her pain, but my mana circuits were blocked by Veronica, rendering it an impossible task. I assured her that I would find someone who could aid her, but for the present, I needed to stem the bleeding and bind her wounds to keep her alive until morning.
