Chapter 17:

The Healing Witch - Mesuda Village Arc

The Hunters Duality


When they exited the church they were welcomed by the sight of the girl they met on their way to the bishop crying on the steps up to the church.

She was a short blonde girl with saturated blue eyes full of sorrow. The girl looked around nineteen years old.

As the girl saw them she began trying to hide her tears and stand up. When the girl began to stand her legs gave out from underneath causing her to fall down but before the girl could hit the ground she was caught by Honō.

“You ok” Asked Honō as he placed the girl down gently onto the ground.

“Yes, I’m fine I just need a minute” snapped the girl as she used her arms to try keep herself up on the ground.

“Stop fooling yourself you nearly fell and now your struggling to even keep yourself up so is there anyone or anywhere we can bring you and get you seen to?” Questioned Witz as she bent down onto her hunkers to check the girls temperature. “Hey guys, she’s got a temperature”

“Ice coming up” said Honō as he made a round oval block of ice and gave it to Witz.

“Thanks Honō, now miss could you please tell us where we can bring you to get you help” asked Witz once more, as she placed the ice to the girls forehead causing her let out a gasp as it touched her.

“Ok fine bring me to the cabin at the edge of town” said the girl as her arms began to tremble even more.

“Honō you saw that when we entered the village right?” Questioned Witz in a slightly more worried tone.

“Ya, I’m on it” replied Honō as he began to pick up the girl and start running towards the cabin as fast as he could without hurting the girl in his arms.

As he made it to the cabin he knocked on the door. No reply. He began to knock again even louder than before. This time the door was opened by a pale, blue haired beauty around his age, wearing black shorts with black tights, petite grey gloves with bits of what seemed like soil on them and a white gothic blouse with a black design going down its arms and a black frilly bow sitting on its neck, she also wore a thick black belt covering her stomach area and a black witches hat with a large white flower on the left side of it held in by a purple ribbon going around it.

“Hello how can I help you?” Asked the blue haired beauty as she finished opening the door.

“Please help she has a temperature and is weak right now” said Honō as he stood there holding the girl who was growing weaker by the minute.

“I see come in and lay her in the bed in the corner while I prepare some herbs for her” ordered the blue haired beauty as she left the door and went to a cabinet on the fair side of the cabin.

As Honō entered the cabin he saw an array of bright colourful flowers all throughout the room and a magnitude of books about herbal healing scattered around the main room. After taking a second to look around the room he saw the bed near the cabinet where the blue haired beauty was looking for something.

When he placed the girl on the bed the blue haired beauty walked over with a mixture of crushed herbs mixed with water and tried to get the girl to drink it. After she got the girl to drink the crushed herbs she placed her hand on the girls bosom causing the girl to fall asleep.

“Thanks for bringing her here” thanked the blue haired beauty as she took her hand off the girls bosom.

“No problem” replied Honō impressed by what the blue haired beauty had done.

“You don’t look like your from around here” said the blue haired beauty looking at Honō with her arms crossed.

“Ya I’m from Echilia and am part of the guild members sent to help with the beast attacks here” answered Honō as he looked back to the blue haired beauty.

“I see so what’s your name?” Asked the blue haired beauty as she unfolded her arms and placed one of hands on her waist.

“My names Honō Hantā, what’s yours miss healing witch?” replied Honō as he smiled at the blue haired beauty.

“U-uh my names Selene Isolde” answered Selene blushing a light shade of red with embarrassment due to the nickname of healing witch.
