“…Are you really going to be okay?”

The subordinate asked Eric, his tone skeptical.

“We’ve trapped that monster… no, that girl, but that doesn’t mean all the nearby threats are gone. What if a monster shows up? You’re in no condition to fight, not even a single goblin.”

“Hey! A goblin is…”

Eric’s indignant retort trailed off into silence, dissolving like a breeze.

Though some strength had returned, he was still far from being able to move properly.

Feeling the subordinate’s pitying gaze on him only added to the humiliation, but all Eric could do was tremble weakly in frustration.
