Elliot stays asleep. Let's bring it right into the castle and let everyone see it.

At that time, Lindblum returns to the harbor, taking his companions Fei Long from the castle as if they had just met.

"Thank you, Lindblum"

Usually, Lindblum doesn't try to put anyone but me on that back... because it's an emergency, or because he put Ashley on it. Lindblum narrows his eyes and squeals his throat as he strokes around his nose with words of labor.

"Back to the castle. Can you ask for it?"

Lindblum nods. Levitate to take on Elliot and cross Lindblum. Take each flying dragon to the castle. As soon as we got to the castle, everyone came.

Lying down Elliot, Claudia and Rosemary examine that forehead.

"... this is"

"You're embedded rather than attached"

Claudia opens her eyes and Rosemary frowns.

"You know what this gem is?

"I... don't know"

When asked, Rosemary shook her neck to the side. From the reaction, Claudia seems to know something.

"... Kaexgem. It looks like a gem, but it's a kind of magical creature."

Claudia says.

"It disrupts magic and replaces it with a third eye. Block the eyes of the mind, mislead perceptions and memories. That's why they call it a blind gem."

Third eye...... right. Is that why it sticks to your forehead?

It's certainly a gem... but it doesn't even look like a longitudinal eye depending on what you look at it.

Speaking of which, Elliot was in the normal shape with it on his forehead, too. What I cared about when I was stripped of my mask was the burn on my face, although it would have been Kaexgem who should have hidden it.

For Elliot, I guess that means this gem wasn't something else uncomfortable.

"What are the measures?

"I've heard that you can defeat the right flow of magic, depending on the strength of your magic flow."

"I see..."

In short, we say that by strengthening the momentum of the right flow, we should withdraw it from the places that are in the way. But... I have to make sure of that.

Ashley is reflexing her magic to see how Elliot's forehead is doing.

"... I wonder. Inside the bone, are the jewels buried?

Ask Ashley. If Caexgem seems to be reaching the brain...... just makes it harder to give a detour.

In that case you need to give up removing Caexgem itself and look for another hand.

For example, by applying the same characteristic sealing technique to the magical creature, Gem itself, as Grace's ring, we will disable it and try to solve it... is that the direction? Perhaps still, it should be possible to bring Elliot back to sanity.

"It's okay...... bone... I know you're touching it until, but I think it's stopped there"

It doesn't look bad in Ashley's eyes. First of all, is there a place called First Gate Clear? I'll check with circulating smell just in case, and if that doesn't seem to be a problem, let's move on to removing Elliot's gems.

"Well, here we go."

"Yes."

Bend to Elliot's side, wake up his upper body and touch his back. Close your eyes and punch your weak magic in like a different wave to concentrate on its reflection.

We will scrutinize the forehead area to see if there is any mistake in Ashley's view....... hmm. Sure. Can we go with this?

Then circulating smell. Increase your magic and refine it. Claudia said it could be defeated depending on the strength of the magic... but it was at that rate even with as much strength as Elliot, so I guess it would take a lot of magic to break this.

So I refine it more than usual. Circulation. It refines and increases the flow of magic, bringing the flow of magic disturbed by Caexgem into the form it should be. Like pushing through the trees that weigh down the river flow. As surplus magic began to radiate from me and Elliot's body, I shudder as the Caexgem buried on my forehead swoops.

"Back off."

Increasing his magic at first sight - and the jewels were pushed out so easily that he made a dry noise and rolled onto the floor.

Afterwards I was surprised. From the edge of Caexgem, which looked like just a jewel, grew a claw or a leg, trying to escape as it were.

"... it's not a good time."

That's what Rosemary says, stepping on the gem with her fingertips trying to cross in front of her. And, Gem made a tall squeal.

Rosemary doesn't like the reaction and the feeling under her shoes, and she frowns uncomfortably.

"This... what do you do?

"... because it's evidence. Packed in earthly magic, with a seal of pedigree characteristics"

"Yes..."

I didn't seem to like Rosemary, so I just decided to pack it and apply the sealing technique. While I'm working on it, Ashley is magically blocking Elliot's forehead wound.

The forehead scratch- Yeah. Because I was quick to do healing magic, or it's going to be blocked beautifully. Once again, I will check the circulating smell for abnormalities. Elliot hasn't woken up yet... but everything's fine now as a magic flow.

From the impression of magic, that's usually from a sleeping human being.

"First...... Shall I rest Lord Elliot on the bunk? We have to take a moment to discuss this."

And, said Marquis Gilbolt.

I can lay Elliot on the bunk. Ashley put cold water with water magic on the barrel, wet her hand plush and put it on her forehead.

"Ashley, are you okay?

Near Ashley, who attends that way, Serafina flies away and Mallane leans in. Ashley smiled and said it was okay, he answered both of them.

Drop the tone of your voice to take time to discuss as you check on Elliot.

"What happened to the situation in the castle?

"Insiders capture and go to jail. Even if there was the rest, you'd find out."

Right. Until the part where insiders might move in a hurry, as expected. In anticipation of the resulting confusion, instructions and other times, the departure for the Wang Capital is scheduled for the day after the ship arrives.

"Preparations to leave for Wang Capital are on schedule."

Well, can I see that the Marquis Territory problem is generally cleared up?

Problem is, Sir Elliot's condition.

Princess Stephania frowns slightly.

"From what I've seen of magic, it seems like you're just normally asleep"

"How long will it take to recover?"

"Right."

Nodding at Grace's words. Will memory and recognition return soon? Or is there confusion? We have to figure out what to do with Elliot depending.

If you wake up and your awareness doesn't improve immediately… for example, the hand of sending it to Term Wills with metastatic magic and having it healed there for a while.

"We'll see how it goes until tomorrow morning. You just have to figure it out by the time you leave."

Claudia says with her eyes closed.

Let's get Term Wills in touch with this backdrop on the comms.

"I wonder why Zadias laid eyes on him."

Illumhilt tilts his neck.

"That's doubtful, too. Magic the noble children of another country, something that if I were you I wouldn't choose, even if I found a gem"

"If Zadias doesn't know where he came from... maybe that too"

Rosemary leaned her neck as she slammed her feather fan, and Sheila answered it.

I see. Because you picked up where you lost your memory?

"Maybe there is. Good thing I had amnesia, I did something to prevent my memory from recovering in the name of protecting it. That way I'll have no place to go home, so I can keep it with me. Or even though I know there's a problem, I can think of a possibility that you might want to pull it out after seeing your magical talent."

"An escort with magical qualities specific to water magic... is certainly what you want."

The magic of healing and detoxification can be used, and the arms of the sword stand. And as long as the gems are functioning, I won't betray them. Is it worth the hassle if you think about it that way...?

"Is it always the forehead where you embed the gem?

Grace tilts her neck.

"Right. You shouldn't be able to change position. Originally... it's not for people."

Claudia says... it seems to be a dragon, for example, or something used to force a hard-to-control organism to obey.

Most importantly, you have to create a caexgem that is quite huge and performs well to get dragon-like opponents to follow with gems.

Hmm. That mask is to hide the gems. Burn marks are the reason for this. So you won't be able to take the hand of embedding gems in many opponents etc......

"… some questions can be answered, I think"

When I conceived of this, such a voice sounded indoors.

"Brother Elliot!

Ashley gives a bright look. Elliot kept her eyes open as she lay still, staring at the ceiling.

... I was considering the possibility of a rampage, but apparently it's sober. When I untied the light bind, I took the hand plush that was on my forehead and quietly woke up my torso.

"Not yet, don't be moved..."

"It's okay, Ashley. I don't feel so bad. The fog in my head feels clear. Things I've ever wondered about, things. You said you fell to your heart."

Elliot smiled bitterly, turning to me and bowing his head deeply.

"Did you say Lord Theodore? Let me start by thanking you. Apparently you saved not only my life, but my heart."

"No. Looks like you're safe. Most importantly. But first, listen to Ashley."

Answering that to Elliot, Elliot rounded his eyes a little and then nodded softly.

"Ashley...... I'm sorry. You've been through a lot."

"... no. Welcome home."

Ashley smiles quietly and tells her brother what happened after Elliot disappeared and makes him listen. Elliot seems pretty calm about Ashley's occasional questioning back and hammering.

Is it that the loss of gems has eliminated factors that inhibit the recovery of memory?

"- So I got engaged to Master Theodore."

"What? Really?

Ashley's talking about me. Elliot turned his eyes round to the words. Ashley laughs softly at Elliot like that.

Elliot seemed surprised for a little while, but eventually says with a broken expression to smile bitterly.

"- Yeah. Congratulations, Ashley"

"Yes."

Ashley snorted with a blossoming smile at his brother's words, and then smiled at me as well.
