The Fake Saint of a Reverse Harem Game - Chapter 53.1

The problem was that unlike Jian, I was a beggar with no healing powers.

‘Hey. Shouldn’t the system give me some kind of ability and then give me a quest like this?’

“Hey. Don’t you have to give me a quest like this?”’

Is there anything I could do to save someone right now?

I stared at the system window in aghast and let out an annoyed groan. When I got the same quest while playing <Experience! Life>, I was a saint with healing powers for goodness’ sake!

Curtis was slightly injured when the mine collapsed, but I had healed him right away with my holy power then, so we were able to get out safely.

‘Of course, we did some things there…’

Momentarily being immersed in memories, I shook my head when I noticed Curtis shaking and his body temperature dropping.

‘The penalty for failing the quest is Curtis’ death.’

I don’t know why this game would take the life of a target character so lightly just like with Adrian. I sighed lightly and swept Curtis’ sweaty forehead.

In fact, it wasn’t my business whether Curtis Caballero died here or not. I already knew he wasn’t Edith’s true love.

‘But how do you even let a man die?’

Edith Abina made it so easy, so many times, but contradicting those, I couldn’t let Curtis die right in front of her.

‘Ah, so this is why Edith dragged me into her game.’

It’s unfair.

There was no way to relieve the resentment that filled my throat.

I chuckled at my disillusioned self. Still unconscious, Curtis’ fingers trembled slightly.

‘First, I need to stop the bleeding, and then warm his body up.’

I scoured the item window as I left the lamp I randomly took from Curtis. Bandages, disinfectants, ointments…

‘Hmph! As expected, there’s nothing.’

I’m broke, I’m a beggar.

I rummaged through my pockets, which were full of dust even after shaking them off, and lifted my skirt.

‘I wore a dress to be comfortable, but it helps at times like this.’

I ripped the bottom of the dress off and spread it out before I removed Curtis’ uniform.

‘Why did he lose so much weight?’

It wasn’t noticeable when he was dressed, but as I took off his shirt, Curtis looked very thin. It wasn’t as skinny as Adrian when I first picked him up, but it still wasn’t the body I recalled.

Curtis, who was about a head and a half taller than an average adult man and had significant bone structure, boasted a well-trained physique like a knight. I tilted my head as the pain in my chest seemed to have eased slightly.

‘Maybe Jian made him go on a diet because she likes slender looks.’

Nodding roughly, I meticulously wrapped Curtis’ bleeding shoulders with my makeshift bandages. Having confirmed that the bleeding had somehow stopped, I began looking around to make a fire.

‘Oh, I think it’ll be useful.’

Fortunately, I caught sight of branches and stones that I could use as kindling.

“Wait a minute.”

I smiled confidently at Curtis, who was still unconscious, as I threw branches and stones and crouched down to begin a fire.

SHAK SHAAAK

CRUNCH, CRUNCH

SSAKSAKSAKSAK

“…”

SHAK SHAAAK

CRUNCH CRUNCH!

Holding the branches with both hands and rubbing them quickly on top of the stone, I swallowed my saliva as I looked down on the slippery surface where even a smoke didn’t rise.

‘Fire. It won’t catch on. What should I do?’

Unfortunately, living as a modern woman blessed with a gas stove, I didn’t know how to use branches and stones to make a fire. I looked back on Edith’s memories just in case, but it was the same thing even I knew before I got dragged into this game.

<WARNING> ‘Curtis Caballero’ falls into an abnormal state.

Condition Abnormal: Hypothermia

※ If hypothermia persists, death may occur.

A dizzying warning message flashed over Curtis, who could only struggle with a slight groan. Confused, I panicked to call the system window. I searched for help, item windows, and guidebooks, but I couldn’t find a cure for hypothermia.

<WARNING> ‘Curtis Caballero’ condition becomes serious. Please warm up the body of ‘Curtis Caballero’.

‘Warm up his body?’

I shut my eyes tightly as I recalled the only thing that I knew of that could ‘warm up’ a body.

‘I saw it in a romance movie, but I’m in a game right now that has romantic elements, so…’

I took off my clothes, muttering my deafening excuses.
