I Can Speak with Animals and Demons Chapter 24 Part2

Translator's note:

『Is that the young lady Rachel? She's a good girl when her grandmother is around, but she does ridiculous things when she's out of sight.』

“What ridiculous things?”

『Hey, she blamed us even though she broke the tableware.』

You share the same feeling of tension, huh.

“It's to that extent? I got cut by a knife in a recovery magic experiment.”

『Oh, that also happened several times.』

“She did that!?”

That response surprised me a lot.

Well, Rachel is quite a bad girl I guess.

『Well. It's alright because we can quickly recover when a place without nerves is cut.』

“……it's alright…”

I mean, you're obviously used to it.

『What's worse is that she blames us for breaking and messing up dishes and whatnot. If the incident occurs when Onoki isn't there, she takes us carefully to the room and hides us there. Thanks to that, I'm angry and stressed.』

The chicken reveals its wings and flaps them strongly.

You dont feel distressed about being slashed though…..

“I see. I understand. I'll tell her.”

『Please do.』

I poke it with my shoes twice and it goes out.

After a while, Rachel comes back with a cup.

Then it is presented to me nicely.

“Here.”

“Thank you.”

“It's okay….. Grandma told me you can have it.”

It seems like it comes from Onoki. I don't know what is happening.

But I think that Rachel is dangerous now, I shouldn't mingle with her.

I take a sip of tea and exhale.

Rachel silently sits in a chair next to me.

There is no conversation and there is silence in the room.

What is this.… awkward.

Anyway, should I talk about the chicken's request?

” “Um.” “

We raised our voices at the same time.

“After you.”

When I urge her, Rachel speaks.

“Now then, I'll ask you that. You used the same recovery magic as me to repair the fracture, is there any trick?”

She sucks on her cheeks while diverting her gaze.

I don't really want to hear her out, but it's full of feelings I can't ignore.

If this is a confession or something, she's pretty moe, but this world isn't a sweet one, though.

“A trick?”

Rachel raises her eyebrows and groans when I respond.

“Although I'm being careful with my wording for a while, I still mess things up.”

That's strange. I'm a n.o.bleman, right? Well it's okay since you're a child.

“Um, yes, yes. Well then, I'll put it this way. The trick is. You did everything well, but if you improve your chanting Rachel, you can heal fractures using the same spell.”

“So I don't know!”

“Rather, shouldn't you ask your grandmother Onoki?”

That would be much better.

I answered whilst diverting my gaze.

“Since your grandmother is a person who can use the same magic without much effort, I suggest you should talk to her yourself.”

“Hmm, I wonder if she has extra knowledge apart from the factor you just mentionned.”

“Knowledge?”

“The structure of the human body. The skeleton, muscles, and blood vessels. And to be even more detailed, cells.”

“Eh? Eh? Do you mean you know of it that minutely?”

“Huh? If it's the structure of the human body, don't you just read a medical book?”

Of course, I have never read the medical books of this world.

All this is knowledge of my previous life.

“… That's right. Certainly, if you know a lot about the structure of the human body, the magical efficiency may increase.”

As Rachel talks, she opens her eyes wide and starts fishing through the nearby bookshelves.

With so many book lined up, there must be a suitable book.

Sipping my cup of tea, I remember suddenly.

“Speaking of which, Rachel. Using chickes to cover for broken dishes and recovery magic experiments is… Cough!? Idiot, stop! Do you finally intend to kill me?”

I block Rachels hand that is used to cover my mouth.

Yeah, this is a grip that I can't imagine a healer having. As expected, she's really Onoki's apprentice.

“Ah, aaaaaah, where did you hear that! Stop saying such bad things!”

“Yes I said that! Cutting a chicken with a knife.”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! There 's no helping it! If n.o.body gets hurt, you can't practice!”

“You finally showed your true nature! Onoki! Otaku kids –“

“Will you stop for a moment!”

“Oh, you are getting along well somehow.”

” “I'm not having it!” “
