Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!
Chapter 41 - 41 D16

41: D16.

Wriggling Darkness 41: D16.

Wriggling Darkness The following morning at dawn.

After spending yesterday chatting with the little girl, the Hero had the rare chance to have a good dream.

But before the coachman could call out, her eyes snapped open.

The sun hadn’t fully risen yet, and it was still dim outside the tent.

However, a peculiar noise caught her alert senses, stirring a sense of unease in the Hero’s heart.

The season was already late autumn, with most of the scenery tinged with yellow, signaling that winter was inches away.

At dawn outdoors, the air carried an icy chill; even the specially-made cold-resistant tent and feather bedding couldn’t keep out the bone-penetrating cold.

Listening to the warning within her heart, the Hero stood up.

[Little Girl’s Physical Condition (Little Girl -30, Camping -10)]

50+ Fatigue

40+ Drowsiness

30+ Headache

20+ Fever♛

10+ Nightmare

10- ???

D55+5=d55(19)+5=24

Driven by anxiety, the Hero sprinted out of the tent towards where the little girl was resting.

The faint and delicate breaths carried unease and uncomfortable moans…

The movements of a friend brought by the morning breeze reached her ears, making the Hero’s expression even more anxious.

“Good morning, Miss, you—” The Guard on the night watch hadn’t finished greeting her when the Hero’s expression shocked him.

“Didn’t you notice!?

Her condition is really bad!” Without the luxury of exchanging pleasantries, the Hero urgently flung open her friend’s tent flap.

The Guard’s expression changed as he followed anxiously.

They had all undergone rigorous military training, but as officers in the reserve force, none could take on the role of a Scout.

Although their rank was much higher than the Hero’s, their perception was not necessarily as sharp as this young girl’s.

Ignoring the reactions of others, the Hero quickly moved beside the little girl wrapped up in a blanket, curled up into a ball.

[Is the Little Girl still conscious?

(60+ Alert)]

D100=d100(36)=36

“Let me take a look.”

The Hero somewhat forcefully pulled back the blanket the little girl had used to wrap herself into a ball.

“…Ugh.” The little girl gave a weak groan in protest, but her eyes remained tightly closed.

Flushed cheeks, rapid heartbeat, cold sweat, shivering…

There was no need for a physical touch; the Hero’s observation already provided the answer.

“High fever.”

[High fever and unconsciousness, the Little Girl won’t recover until she receives proper rest or treatment]

Gently placing her hand on the little girl’s forehead and confirming her judgment was correct, she bit her lip and spoke softly with her conclusion.

“This—” The following Guard’s face turned pale, and he quickly turned to alert the others.

But there was no need for him to call out loudly; the other Guards and the coachman who was also up early had already been drawn by their commotion.

“This is troublesome.” The coachman’s forehead was dripping with as much sweat as the flustered Guards.

“A child’s fever like this isn’t something that can be cured by just sleeping for a day or two.”

The coachman inwardly complained; he had thought this was going to be an easy task, but calamities never come singly.

First, they encountered a Demon Snake as big as a mountain on the road, which scared off half of his Chocobo’s feathers, and now this little ancestor had come down with a high fever.

Although the coachman wasn’t a nanny and in theory, the health and even the life and death of a passenger had nothing to do with him, the Hero and the little girl’s conversation hadn’t excluded others, and now he also knew: this was the Border Count’s daughter!

If the Border Count’s Princess became ill in his coach and something really happened…

The coachman dared not think further.

But right now, no one was paying attention to his crisis management.

“What do we do now?

Is there anything we can do?”

Several Guards were as frantic as ants on a hot pan, but even if they could block a sword aimed at the Princess, they couldn’t stop viruses, bacteria, or the cold.

No amount of strict training had taught them how to take care of a child with a high fever.

At this moment, all the Guards were filled with regret, blaming themselves for agreeing to the Noble Lady’s whims.

Wiping off the cold sweat from the little girl’s forehead and wrapping her up in the blanket again, the Hero calmed herself down and looked to the others.

“Does anyone here know Healing Skill?”

The Guards naturally shook their heads, even the two Chocobos that had crowded around expressed the negative along with the coachman.

“What about medicine?

Don’t have any either?”

The Hero, who rarely got sick due to her Constitution, urged in a panic.

“Although we carry wound medicine and some common medicines, when it comes to a specific remedy for high fever…” Guard A replied with a pale face.

“I don’t have it either.

After all, we’re only three to five days away from the next village—who would have thought something like this would happen,” the coachman also expressed his helplessness.

“Even though it’s a long way, as long as the Miss gets a well-arranged rest, she can still hold on.

After all, she’s also a child from the Count’s family, accustomed to following in training,” Guard B said gloomily.

“But yesterday we encountered that Magic Creature, got eroded by the cold wind, and then camped out…”

Guard Ding paced restlessly outside the tent.

Although this was an accident nobody could have foreseen, and now they all knew the White Snake meant no Malice,

Even the four Guards, after encountering the White Snake, did not feel much better, not to mention the young Noble Lady.

The Chocobo, which didn’t even get a glance from the White Snake, lost almost half of its feathers and hadn’t recovered since.

That was pressure from the life Rank difference, something not just any willpower could withstand.
