Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 10.3

“By the way, it seems like your companions went out for real combat again.”

“Eh, they just returned recently after suffering heavy losses.”

“I heard that there are guys burning with revenge. It seems like they might run wild if they’re not properly controlled, but depending on how they’re used, they could become a significant force…”

—

Upon hearing Tariq’s story, the faces of Kawamoto and Sawatari came to mind.

If your best friends or lovers were killed, it’s not unreasonable to be burning with revenge, but I wanted them to refrain from putting others in danger.

—

“Yuto, I understand that you’re worried about your companions, but people like us, who have no support, can only do so much. Don’t think of foolish things.”

“I understand… By the way, since I’ve been included in the nighttime work group, am I not already a full-fledged member of the miscellaneous tasks team?”

“You, I won’t take you out for fun on your days off anymore.”

“Is that okay…? Even if I get my clothes stained, I won’t clean them properly.”

“Ugh, it would be painful to lose Yuto’s stain-removing skills… Well, I have no choice. I’ll guide you around the town on the next day off.”

“Yeah, thanks for that.”

—

I lightly bumped fists with Tariq, who had a wry smile, and then returned to my room.

I was a bit upset by the unreasonable behavior of the Second Prince, but as Tariq said, I knew my limitations.

—

Even so, I wanted to retaliate against the Second Prince’s faction, who summoned us.

—

“The best way would be to erase the bruise on the First Prince’s face, but why doesn’t healing magic work?”

—

According to Tariq, a high fever suddenly occurs, and when the fever subsides, a bruise appears. If it’s due to an illness, I feel like it should heal with healing magic.

—

Or perhaps, once the bruise appears and some time passes, it becomes fixed and won’t heal.

—

“Can Kazumi-san heal it?”

—

Since she’s using healing magic to perform anti-aging treatments, maybe she could come up with a treatment method that wouldn’t occur to healers in this world.

### The Issue with Umino

The problem is, Umino is surrounded by the Second Prince’s faction.

Even if we establish a treatment method for the bruise, the Second Prince’s faction won’t let her go. Moreover, she might even be targeted for the worst, her life at risk.

“It seems better to inform Umino-san not to get involved in the bruise matter. Then… should I give it a try instead?”

Since a bruise is pigment deposited in the skin, it should be erasable by removing the pigment. The problem is whether I can recognize only the pigment inside the human body.

Even if it’s possible, will it be safe to remove it? Will there be any adverse effects like bleeding when it’s removed? Will only that part become completely white? Just thinking about it brings up several issues.

“First of all, there’s no one willing to be a guinea pig. Tariq would… probably tell me not to get involved.”

While trying to fold the newly bought clothes that had been left on the bed, I remembered what I wanted to do before that. I stared at the buttons on the shirt and set the boundary on the area of the scuff, then activated the magic.

“Transference!”

The remaining scuff came off, and a smooth curve emerged. Next, I set the boundary to create a pattern like the one on the unscuffed buttons, using them as a sample.

“Transference! Alright, it worked.”

Not only did the previously scuffed pattern emerge, but that part also gleamed as if it had been plated.

“I see, the surface is rough too…”

Continuing with the scuff removal and pattern carving, I set the boundary to activate the transference magic as if peeling off a thin skin from the entire surface.

“Transference! Oh, it’s shining brightly!”

The button, originally a roughly processed item, transformed into something so shiny that it wouldn’t be strange to call it a high-end product. Tariq would be surprised if he saw this button on our next day off.
