Dorei Tensei: Sono Dorei, Saikyou no Moto Ouji ni Tsuki

After Victor and the others had returned to the ship and stopped all the ships from leaving the shoreline, I embraced Celia lying in front of me and returned to the Elf's ship with remorse.

Celia hasn't woken up since.

Five days have passed since I put him to bed.

It seems to be a reaction of magic depletion and magic transformation, but it exceeds my expectations.

"Celestia... is everything all right?" Fiel, sitting beside the bed, whispered.

Naya is on deck for vigilance, so there's nothing wrong with talking deep.

Fiel understood that and decided to wait for my answer, then opened her mouth.

"Probably, the symptoms are worse than we thought. That peculiar magic isn't something Celestia can use."

"That's right... I didn't think it would work perfectly on that scale..."

"Not to mention, I used something like that with that starchy magic potion, honestly, how much erosion is going on doesn't happen....."

Celestia, who is breathing, looks the same as usual.

However, you can tell if the magic is disturbed by someone who is good at magic sensing.

The magic that keeps swaying subtly is unusual.

Still, few people know that this is the result of the body being eroded by magic.

"If anything happens to Celestia, Mr. Walls...."

"--That's right, my life is in danger."

I don't care much about that, even if you ask me.

Maybe it just doesn't feel real.

Rather than that, it's all about what to do about Celestia in the future, filling your head.

"Now you should be more worried about Celestia than about me."

"--That's right, if it weren't for Celestia's magic, I would certainly have lost my life and that of His Majesty Victor, so I can't thank you enough....."

I'll go back to the village and talk to Vio. He has something to say. "

The magic Vio taught Celestia is not pure defensive magic, but counter-magic.

Certainly taught Celestia the magic of heavy loads.

If you were still specializing in defense, the load would have been lighter.

"If it's magic, I should be blamed too. I watched Vio teach Celestia in silence."

"Fiel won't stop talking. If Fiel was bad, I wouldn't have cared so much."

Maybe it's not really everyone's fault, maybe it's everyone's fault.

While thinking about what to do and what was the right path, Celestia leaked a small voice.

"Mr. Walls, your eyes are on me."

Fiel's peeking face was reflected in Celestia's thin, even open eyes.

"... what's wrong with that face..."

I haven't heard Celia's voice in a long time, and the usual bouncing brightness has been lost.

Her expression is cloudy, just like her voice, which can't be explained by waking up for the first time in a few days.

"I've been asleep for days."

Well, then you have to wake up.

When she tried to wake her body, Fiel gave her a hand to sit with Celestia, who was unable to help her with her arms.

I had an approximate expectation from the rule of thumb that I didn't have much time left for Celestia, which was the worst category I had ever anticipated.

"---Mr. Walls, I'm leaving my seat. I have to tell Naya."

Whether you're worried about me or telling Naya what you said, Fiel left the room without making any noise.

"... I see you've caused Wallace trouble too. I'll be fine in a while."

Certainly, it can be undone to some extent over time, but it can't be the same as before.

It's obvious that Celestia's symptoms are as bad as or worse than when I was devoured.

I left it like this and nothing good happened to my body.

"As you know, Celestia's body is already defeated by magic."

"... I guess," Celestia stared at her palm, shaking in detail, and grasped it gently. "You did something wrong to Wallace."

"Don't worry about me. I'm the one who made such a mistake while telling you to protect Celestia."

Celestia turned to a powerless smile and said, "Is great work meaningless unless I accomplish it? I'm not going to leave it to you," he said, caring about me.

"... I was out of hand."

"If Wallace decides it's appropriate, it's no problem. There's no point in saying that now."

"Well... when I get back, I'm going to talk to Vio about Celestia's body."

"---Thank you very much. But there's nothing you can do to prevent this, right?

"There's no way to prevent it, but there's a way to delay it."

I assure you, Celestia closed her eyelids reassuringly and said yes.

I'm just sitting here, but I can see that my body hasn't been following anything unusual yet.

"It's still hard to move."

I just woke up, but my body is heavy after all ─ ─ Maybe I should get some rest.

"Now, don't push yourself, don't move as much as you can."

"Let me do that."

Turn your hands around Celestia's back to lie down.

As usual, I would say no, but there was no sign of resistance to Celestia, and he honestly accepted my care.

I wish I was being honest, but I don't really have the nerve to hide the malaise.

We can't stop it, but we have a way to slow it down.

----The Spirit of Water, Eines.

If we could use her help, we could at least delay it as much as I did.

However, the problem is that I don't know where I went...
