I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World… - Chapter 81 - Long Road to Recovery

Logan felt the buzz from his communication device, but he couldn’t take it out.

The pain of feeling mana course through his body made him instantly give up.

He was bedridden; he didn’t know where, but it was cold.

Logan could see his breath as a small light entered from a window.

Even breathing hurt, but then he felt relief.

He saw his new golden slime trying to heal him.

It couldn’t cure his problem, but alleviating the pain was now easy for the creature.

“I see you’re awake, Master Logan. It’s good timing, since this will probably be your bed for some time,” Ruri said as she stood next to him.

It was a new, weird angle Logan wasn’t used to, but he couldn’t do anything about being unable to move his neck.

Soon, he heard another voice as Rubina entered the room.

“Are you finally awake?!” she called out, grabbing his hand.

“Yesss,” he tried to answer, but like everything he did, it failed.

“Don’t try moving, you need time to recover your mana conduits. You should never try that again, Logan—you could have died, idiot!” He saw her tear up, something he was not used to seeing others do for him.

“Srri,” Logan struggled to say before losing consciousness from the pain.

Logan suddenly opened his eyes again.

He noticed the others were not in the room at first, and beside him, a candle illuminated his surroundings.

It was when he slowly turned his neck that he saw Rubina who sat sleeping while holding his hand.

He did not know why she slept that way, but he felt good that someone cared for him enough to sleep uncomfortably for his sake.

He tried to move his other hand to see how badly it would hurt.

It was less pain than in the morning but still strong enough to leave him reeling on the floor, rolling in pain if he could move.

He could do nothing but try to sleep again.

It wasn’t long before he awoke again.

This time the sun was just rising, or so he guessed, as light hit the left side of his wall.

It was weak but helped at least to make Logan feel that heat was entering his room.

Logan only felt his slime around him; this time Rubina was not by his side.

He could at least try to get up—the pain was not so bad as to keep him down this time.

The medium-sized creature suddenly engulfed his body.

Logan quickly took out water from his ring to feed his squishy pet.

It was hard to know when it finished drinking, as it would not stop devouring the water.

Its size also grew, which made the bed creak and Logan feel crushed under all the weight.

[Mii, full] It jiggled, now being able to send a word when communicating.

[Alright buddy, now get off me or do something about your weight, you’re crushing me!] He felt his slime try to heal him.

It helped alleviate both the pain and the weight, as spending mana made it shrink.

What happened to you? Let’s give it a check.

Logan was happy with how his slime turned out.

He recalled what happened and why it turned out this way.

As with all his beasts, it seemed to evolve in a form that best suited his needs, something he could not explain but was grateful for.

With the healing his monster did to him, he was finally able to move a little more and try sitting up.

No one was in his room, but the door was open, so he thought that someone would enter soon.

He tried getting up, holding on to the edge of the bed to see outside the window.

He was in a two-story building by the look of things.

His room was pretty simple for an aristocrat, likely without much furniture.

There was only a desk and his bed.

The wooden floor creaked as he tried walking on it, while the walls were clean yet old, indicating his maids were already cleaning up the place.

He finally reached the window and saw the old frame needing a repair, its window patched in a few areas.

Outside, he saw a snow-covered field.

It did not look anything like what a Baron would have—it was just a flat, endless field filled with snow.

No statues, no ornaments, not even trees.

“Just where did they send me,” Logan shivered, his only solace being the sun hitting his upper part exposed by the window.

He heard someone coming into the room; the red hair made it obvious who it was.

“Already excited to see your new mansion, huh…” Rubina commented, standing next to him.

“Yeah, but tell me the truth, it’s just a small house, right?” Logan said as he slowly turned his head to look at her face.

“Well… I can’t lie, it’s what we would build for our servants… but the builders are already working hard to renovate most of the place. They just weren’t working on this side of the house to not wake you up,” Rubina said as she held one arm out so Logan could hold on.

“Are you ready to move or should I settle you back into bed?” Rubina asked while looking at the old mattress.

“No, I don’t think I could sleep even if someone cast magic to try making me,” Logan replied, carefully grabbing on to her arm like a crutch.

“Let’s go steady then; you should really see your new house.” She guided him outside the room, his beasts soon came to greet him.

He saw that his fox had also changed—she had grown a lot, now the size of a mid-sized dog with two tails.

“I am going to miss your cute form, Luna,” Logan smiled as the fox got close to him and licked his hand.

[Safe, master, good to see.] The white fox communicated while controlling the temperature.

Although being next to Rubina already helped him with the cold, he noticed that Luna’s presence made even the ice outside the window fall.

“Show off…” Rubina said while radiating more heat, which made Silis, who was sluggish, get near the girl in a hurry to enjoy the warmth.

Logan took another look at Silis.

She was even longer and, although she had not changed significantly, she could have possibly sped up her growth to her full adult form.
