Overpowered Reincarnation Perks! - Chapter 1.5
‘But if I stay here, won’t it collapse?’
Should I leave Callion and go out? But where to? It would be troublesome if I slept in a tree and the branch suddenly broke, causing me to fall to my death. Should I curl up somewhere and cover myself with leaves to sleep?
Even a righteous person is human, and I wish they’d let us sleep comfortably.
“Ju-in. Come this way… it’s dangerous outside.”
Callion stopped me as I was about to go outside. He doesn’t look well.
He said it wasn’t such a serious wound and he was fine, but of course, that must have been to reassure me.
‘I can’t leave an injured person behind. The system should understand this much.’
If it collapses the rock here again… Trash system, trash status window, trash quest! A triple crown.
If you have any conscience, leave the patient alone, please.
Cursing at the system, I went over to Callion’s side and crouched down.
The space wasn’t large, so even though I curled up, our bodies touched a little.
“I’m sorry, Callion.”
“…Why are you apologizing?”
“You’re protecting me, but, um. I kept screaming, right? I thought it might have been annoying.”
Actually, it was to give Callion a buff, but from his perspective, he might have wondered why this damn woman kept screaming.
But since Callion couldn’t see my system window, he wouldn’t believe me if I tried to explain that when I screamed, he could move faster.
“Not at all. Thanks to that, I was able to defeat the magical beasts.”
Huh?
“The moment your scream echoed, the movements of the magical beasts slowed down.”
The speed-increasing buff seemed to feel like it was slowing down the enemy’s movements from Callion’s perspective.
Since speed is relative, it wasn’t wrong.
“It seems your voice has the power to subdue magical beasts.”
No. It’s an ally buff, so it doesn’t work on magical beasts.
But since I couldn’t explain the principle, it was difficult for me to correct him. I’ll just pass it off with a smile.
“Huu……”
Callion sighed deeply and leaned against the rock. Beads of sweat formed on his neat forehead.
‘It must hurt.’
Even a small cut stings and burns, so with such a deep wound, it was amazing that he was even maintaining consciousness.
“Callion. Does it hurt a lot?”
“I’m… fine……”
It seemed painful for him to speak, which made me feel sorry for him.
I wish he would just fall asleep, but Callion asked me to keep talking to him to prevent himself from falling asleep, probably wary of magical beast attacks.
‘If you’re going to give me a skill, you should have given me a healing skill.’
What’s with this place, not even having the most basic heal skill?
At that moment, a system window suddenly appeared.
[Virtue of the Sacrifice]
Do you want to consume your life force to heal ally [Callion]’s injuries?
Yes / No
What’s this? Healing was possible too?
I thought I was just a supporter with only one measly buff, but it seems I was a healer.
‘It says I can heal by consuming life force…’
Don’t tell me I’m going to save Callion here and die.
I thought for a moment.
I don’t know how much life force is consumed per heal, but Callion can’t face magical beasts while injured, and without him, it’s impossible to escape this place or find the village.
‘I’m living on borrowed time for 30 days anyway.’
I’d rather not die crushed by a collapsing cave or torn apart by magical beasts, but dying after healing Callion seems okay.
‘I’m dying to save someone, surely they won’t make it a painful death.’
Having made my decision, I looked at the system window.
Without even clicking, it seemed possible to select with just my will, as the [Yes] button was automatically pressed and the window disappeared, and blue dots appeared above Callion’s body.
[Starting treatment]
Please kiss on the blue guide dots.
The closer to the wound site, and the more intense the contact, the higher the healing effect.

I was trying to heal, why is a sexual harassment event suddenly popping up?
I shifted my gaze to Callion.
The blue dots appeared on Callion’s forehead, lips, wounded chest, and back of his left hand.
And there was a blue light flickering in an unbelievable area, too intense to be an optical illusion.
‘Why… why is the left thigh glowing?’
I vaguely referred to it as the thigh, too embarrassed to even imagine it, but I wasn’t innocent enough to not notice the elongated silhouette extending from the thigh to the groin.
‘I wish I had become more innocent!’
I thought it was a survival game without morals, but could it be that this world I reincarnated into was actually an adult dating simulation game?
‘Even for an adult game, this is too much. Putting my face near that part of a man I’ve only known for a day, isn’t that crazy?’
Aren’t dating games meant to be played for the purpose of experiencing heart-fluttering and exciting romance?
This is just molestation. From Callion’s perspective, what an outrage.
I can’t do something perverted to someone I’ve only exchanged names with.
He got injured trying to protect me, there’s a limit to being ungrateful.
I was prepared to die after healing Callion, but I don’t want to die being misunderstood as a pervert who doesn’t even know gratitude.
I averted my eyes from Callion’s lower body, which was emitting the most brilliant light.
Honestly, the silhouette was so impressive that I was a bit drawn to it, but I’m a sensible person who lived abiding by the law in a democratic country. I mean, I’m not a pervert crazy with lust enough to sexually harass a sick person.
‘The most modest area would be…’
The back of the hand, I guess.
Kissing the wounded chest would probably be the most effective, but I didn’t have the courage to lunge at his chest.
They said the healing effect would be lower if not close, not that there would be no effect at all.
Morality, reason, and rationality aligned. My choice is the back of the hand.
‘Now, how to naturally kiss…’
I watched Callion’s reaction. The blue dots floating over his handsome face were distracting.
‘Disable guide display.’
As I thought inwardly, the check mark on the system window was unchecked and the blue dots disappeared. I had memorized all the locations, so I didn’t need the guide anymore.
“Callion.”
“Yes…”
“Um, I’m sorry for the late greeting. Thank you for saving me. Sincerely.”
Callion blinked. He probably thought it was an unexpected thing to say. But you can never thank someone enough for saving you, and there’s no better way to make natural contact.
I looked at him with trembling eyes and gently grasped his left hand.
‘I’m trying to save you now. I’m not trying to do anything weird!’
To avoid being mistaken for a molester or pervert, I tried to make the most pitiful expression I could.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t be of help. If only I could take away your pain…”
“Ah…”
Callion tried to say something. If he refused and tried to pull his hand away, it would all be for nothing. I quickly held his hand with both of mine and pressed my lips against the back of his hand.
