At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

"Ugh... yin... ah, let...?

Awaken slowly in pain and check the familiar ceiling.

This is the ceiling of a tree sea house. Why am I sleeping here?

Wake up and look around you in pain. I knew it was a tree house. It's my own room, here.

"Why, go home... no, well, what happened after that more than that? How long has it been since then? You've been sleeping a few days again, me."

I tried to get up in a hurry, but the pain made me unable to walk well and I almost fell.

I managed to fall to the side of the bed so I had no problems, but I can't get the strength right into my body.

"Gu, Tsu... I knew there was a recoil coming... but I can't be throwing up that weak this time"

It hurts, but it just hurts. It's not unbearable.

Besides, I don't know how much I slept, but my body is only a little lighter than it was when I fell because of my rest.

There's nothing I can't move in this state, and I can't force it to.

"Phew...!

Using osmotic immortality, force them into a body that is powerless.

And I just ignored the pain and tried to use detection, and Inai came into the room.

"-! Wake up, Tallow... are you okay to stand up?

I looked surprised for a moment, but Inai asked me as soon as I calmed down.

Probably knew I'd moved before I walked into the room.

"Something has to be done. I can't fight all I can because I'm not in the mood."

"Well, good... I went to see Mirka once and I heard it was no big deal, but I was still anxious. I'm relieved to hear it coming from your mouth."

That's what I'm saying. I'm coming to hold you strong, Inai. He made me very anxious.

That's right, I was in a terrible situation then.

I wouldn't know exactly what I was doing if I made it Inai, and I must have been scared of how I'd just get hurt.

Oh, I remembered it step by step. The reason I passed out, healing magic from that worry.

Inai at that time. I wish I was totally panicked. You don't have a choice.

Or I'm the one who put you in that state, so I can't complain about anything.

"Sorry, take it easy"

"Not at all, you idiot. I'm so worried about you. I hope it's the first and last time, but maybe you'll do something similar again."

"... sorry, I'll try not to do it, but I can't promise I won't do it again"

Apologize as you cuddle her back and honestly tell her how you feel.

Then she smiled like she was in trouble, then meditated her eyes for a moment and looked a little angry.

Oh, I'm scared. No, seriously, I'm a little scared. I wonder what they'll say.

"Fine, so. Because that's you. But when you get better, I'm gonna hit you once."

She said that in her grumpy voice when she was standing there wondering what she was going to say.

Well, yeah. You can't help it, can you? I wonder if it's body again...

"... nagging, roger."

When I could use it when I was ready to be beaten, Inai hugged me again with a bitter smile.

It's all kinds of Inai around here. I'm kind of relieved.

No, I'm not relieved to be beaten up. Because it's not.

And did you see Mr. Mirka? That's bothered you.

I haven't seen her lately, but she should be close to giving birth by now in time.

It would be nice to just check it out, but you don't use fairy arts, do you? I'm a little nervous about that guy.

Let's do that later, though. Let's go say thank you after everything.

I'm worried about Mr. Vai and the others now. You're first to see what happened to the Empire since then.

No, first and foremost, how many days have passed since then?

"Inai, how many days has it been since I fell?

"It's only been about a day. Don't worry."

It's only been a day?... my body is light for that.

No, it's odd that it's light because it has recoil, but it's not harder than usual.

I thought it was after many more days of sleep.

Could it be more resilient, or did Mr. Mirka do something to you...

Either way, it's convenient. If I can stand and move, I can get back on the ground right away.

I just can't use squared reinforcement in this condition. I can't even use extra quadruple reinforcement.

It's not completely unusable, but maybe not after.

"Inai, can you tell me what's happened since then?

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear the details of the current situation. Mirka saw you, and I've been seeing you for a long time since I only had to report you. There's just Arne left on the ground. So it's okay."

Is Mr. Arne still here? Then it's okay, I wonder.

At least Mr. Vai will be safe.

But I'm still worried, and I want to do it exactly to the end anyway.

No, I have to. We have to get involved in this until the end.

"You want to go back, over there"

Inai reads what she wants from my expression and speaks like that in a worried way.

Probably worried about me heading to the battlefield in my current condition.

No matter how much you say you can stand and move, I'm pretty sure it's not the way it is.

Still, I want to go back to that place.

"... I'm sorry, I want you to let me go. I want to do it right to the end."

I thought I could help.

Even if there were a lot of people who couldn't help, I thought there were people who could help.

But I think that the fact that Mr. Vai is in such a tragic state is likely to cause a lot of unexpected events to happen to Inai and the others.

If you keep your mouth shut, maybe more people won't be able to help you.

Besides, I knew people were gonna die, and I still put up with them.

I kept my mouth shut knowing people were going to die.

Then at the very least, I think we should go face the dead properly.

I should have been obliged to at least watch people die.

"I want to see this through to the end. Right, in the field."

"... well, I get it. Then let's go to the royal castle first. Get an idea of the current situation first. All right?"

"Mm, I got it."

I can't help but look here, so I nod honestly at Inai's words.

Mr. Vai, I helped you around the corner, so now it's time for you to be safe.
