Here, Kyousuke uses an idiom for a fluke/lucky-hit/chance- success, which literally reads as "wound's glorious deed".  Kyousuke likens his experience to a "cold's glorious deed".  So I suppose a more literal translation of his line would be along the lines of, "I suppose it's not that I achieved 'glory through injury' (i.e., was lucky), but rather through a cold!">Madoka:  Will you be treating me?!       ogori ni shite-kureru  ka na--_                                  treat-(favor-to-me)    I-wonder[Kyousuke winces.]---------------------------------------------------
