chapter 4
4 – Visit-4
“Ugh…”
My whole body hurts as if it were aching. As I lay with my eyes closed, I felt someone touch my body.
What was I doing? Clearly, it seemed like he had a dream in which he fell into some kind of strange world.
And then, after being surrounded by a gang of weird female bullies… What happened.
“Suck!”
I woke up and grabbed the hand that was touching my side.
“Hee, hee hee…”
However, the person who held my hand was not a bad looking person no matter how you look at it. It was an ordinary woman, with slightly faded blonde hair.
“I’m sorry! I’ve committed a mortal sin! Please forgive me just once!”
She begged for her forgiveness as she put her head on the bed I was lying on. I glanced at my side, where she had been touching it, and felt something sticky.
“Because of the treatment, it was inevitable… I couldn’t help it! Please, please have mercy…”
“Ah, me too. Sorry for messing around. Keep going.”
Slowly, I recalled the next memory. She remembered Dana-ra getting help from a female warrior and getting out of there, and being put on her back.
It seemed that he fell asleep on a woman’s back. Perhaps, this person was a doctor.
“Oh, it’s fine, you can continue.”
“That, uh, uh… Uh… I see.”
“I’m sorry. I’m not really in a hurry… I was really surprised, right?”
“Ahhh, no. Then, again…”
He seems like a naive person, but I felt like I scared him too much.
The doctor applied ointment to my wounds with his trembling hands. Carefully placing her hand on her calf and her foot, she backed away from me.
“I’m sorry, but I got hurt here too…”
I pointed to the thigh area. The wound from the dagger was still stinging.
“That, there, I guess that’s…”
Maybe, since it’s near an important part, it’s hard to touch it easily. I wondered if it was too frozen, but I couldn’t make a hasty decision because I didn’t know much about this world.
“Can you give me some medicine?”
“Yes, yes! This medicine is for knife wounds, and you can apply this medicine for bruises!”
The ointment she gave me smelled like fragrant grass. As she put her hand in her pants and applied it gently, she felt a stinging pain.
“Sue, thank you for your hard work!”
The doctor who watched it took her medicine as if he had waited and ran away as if he were running away.
“I should have asked more…”
There were several more beds around. There were herbs and medicines on the shelves, so it must have been an infirmary.
“Shouldn’t take long…”
Looking around, it was unbelievably clean for being in the Middle Ages. Did I wipe this place once after I came in?
As I was looking around blankly, the door opened. Two women came in and knelt respectfully in front of me.
“Are you awake?”
One was Dana. The other was someone I had never seen before, but it was beautiful, as is the case with people who come to this world to see it.
Her mature-looking chest and slightly curly brown hair stood out. The only regret is that I can’t see my eyes because I lower my head so deeply.
She lowered her gaze to the point where I wondered if she was looking under her bed rather than looking at me.
“I’m really sorry. I sincerely apologize that the gladiators belonging to this Colosseum got caught up in an unfortunate incident.”
“Ah, I think there’s some misunderstanding, but that’s Dana-san, not the perpetrator, but the one who saved me. Thank you very much.”
“Well, then… Are you forgiving Dana’s contact with the man on the way here?”
“I was carried. There is nothing I can forgive.”
No matter how you think about it, something is strange. I’ve been thinking about it ever since I fell into the fantasy world, but there were a lot of things that I couldn’t judge with my common sense.
“Thank you for your great mercy.”
I couldn’t see her expression, so I couldn’t tell what she was thinking as she lowered her head.
“I’m Daisy, the manager of this Coliseum. If there’s any woman she knows, she’ll get in touch with you right away.”
“If you’re a woman I know… I don’t have one. It’s kind of hard to explain… But it’s because I fell here all of a sudden. At most Dana next to me?”
Strange.
It seemed that he knew that men were rare in this world. Because looking at her behavior, ‘something’ seemed to happen when I didn’t tolerate Daisy’s behavior.
If you look at the behavior of that thug who forcibly tried to rape me, it is clear that the power and protection are under the control of public power.
However, in the process, it was difficult to guess why ‘a woman I knew separately’ was needed.
“Excuse me, what’s your name?”
“&*%… Well, that’s a twist. Just call me Evan.”
My real name sounded unnatural even to my ears, perhaps because it was in Korean. It was amazing to be able to understand their language naturally, but I wonder if there is some kind of magic.
“Evan… Then, can we contact Selam?”
“Selam? What is Selam?”
“This is a place where men live together. No matter where you come from, you will definitely be welcomed.”
I don’t know, but I understood it as a new job. I was grateful because I had nowhere to go right away.
“Did you say this… Is the Colosseum?”
“Yes, Miss Dana is a gladiator here.”
It was impossible to stay here forever. Doing nothing of her and her staying here would embarrass her, so she had to get out.
“There, once you go in, you can’t come out, right?”
“No. It’s free to go out, and it’s possible to go out at all. It’s just that men don’t want to go out there.”
I let out a sigh of relief. It didn’t matter if it was sold or not.
“Then, let’s go back.”
The two stood up, greeted me politely, and then cautiously left the infirmary.
“Oh, Mr. Dana?”
Her head turned back. Also, it was a beautiful face. Finally, I wanted to say this.
“Thank you so much. I won’t forget you.”
“…Yes.”
She nodded her head slightly and smiled. Daisy seemed to be her contemplative, but she eventually dragged her out.
/////
My body recovered surprisingly quickly. The wound healed within a day, as if the herbs in this world were effective.
“Someone is supposed to come from Selam tomorrow. Luckily, everything seems to be fine until then.”
As if I was used to touching my body, the doctor applied ointment to my body in a much more stable position than the first time.
Although there was a downside that his breathing sometimes became rough, he seemed to be a competent doctor.
“Tomorrow…”
Today was the last day of my life at the Colosseum. It was a pity that I couldn’t bear it. Will I be able to meet Dana after entering Selam?
“Perhaps, by the way, Yang. You said you were a gladiator.”
“Yes! Champion of the League of Steel.”
“Is there a game today…?”
After hearing my words, the doctor’s face hardened.
“Well, if there is one last time… I think it would be okay to go and see it.”
“Guys probably don’t like sword fighting. Ah, there’s a lot of talk about it being violent and brutal…”
“But, if you don’t mind… It’s okay to look at it while standing, so can I go and see it?”
I knew that the girls here were overly nervous about my demands.
There was no separate men’s restroom, so it was to the extent that every time I went to the bathroom, I kicked out all the women and cleaned it.
Still, I wanted to see Dana fight again. It was so beautiful to see her emerge from her hopeless situation and wield her sword.
She wielded her sword was attractive, to the point of regretting that I couldn’t focus on her because I was fighting with her.
“It should start soon… I’ll ask the janitor.”
“I’m sorry.”
The doctor ran away, and after a while came back with Daisy. Daisy, as she did when we first met, cautiously got down on her knees, looked down at her, and led me into the Coliseum.
“There are only a few minutes left before Dana’s match starts. It’s not a place for men, but we’ve vacated the VIP seats in a hurry, so you can watch it there.”
“I’m sorry. I forced myself…”
The Colosseum seen from the ring was huge and magnificent. Many spectators were cheering.
“Win, Dana!”
“Mei! Don’t lose! Break that b*tch’s nose!”
All of them were women. However, I couldn’t bear to stare at the audience for a long time.
Little by little, the gaze on me was burdensome, but Dana’s body standing on top of her arena was pulling me so powerfully.
The leather armor that was so unconventional that the clothes she was wearing when they first met looked chaste, showing off her beautiful back and buttocks even from such a distance.
“Wow…”
Then, welcomes appeared all over the arena. It felt like a screen with a larger view of Dana and her gladiator opponents.
However, to my eyes, Dana’s appearance was more impressive than magic I had never seen before.
She swung her sword. She fights through gritted teeth, parrying sword attacks from opponents, stances as she wallows on her sandy bottom, deflects swords with her shield, and strikes her legs to break her stance.
“This… Sword fight…”
I am fighting with all my might. She is throwing herself wholeheartedly into this fight, for someone as strong and beautiful as she is.
Every action of the red gladiator made me shudder. You feel a tingling sensation all over your body.
“Winner, Dana!”
As she flashes her sword and announces her victory over the fallen gladiator, I can barely catch her breath.
Dana’s fight was so beautiful that it took my breath away.
