"Can't do anything? Worthless? What are you thinking about trying to throw your life away with such assumptions! How long do you intend to abandon your thoughts!!!"

"I-I 'm thinking about the best..."

“I'm not thinking about it! Now and for the moment, you're running away. I've been running away!"

Ellis was right, Mina was running away.

The heart is beaten by the outrageous reality.

I don't have the skills to get over it, I don't know.

That's why I convinced myself to make it easier.

By sacrificing herself... she was trying to make it easier by tricking herself.

But I can't blame Mina for everything.

That's how she was brought up.

From the heart of things to the present day.

It has been nurtured to be right to do so.

It's hard to change that in one day.

It's difficult, but.....

"I won't run away!!"

Ellis was angry.

We cannot allow Mina to be equal to the avenge of her family.

I want to kill you, and I want you to die on your own.

Still.....

If Mina dies meaninglessly, everything she's been involved with will be meaningless.

I just want to avoid that.

So at least look forward.

I wanted you to have your own thoughts.

"Mina Lussage! Face forward!!!"

"I... I..."

As if in response to Ellis' reprimand, the color returned to Mina's empty eyes.

Don't think about it.

I ran away from many things.

But we have to end it.

Ellis is right.

We can't keep running any longer.

Even if it's hard.

Even if it's painful.

We have to face it and walk.

I won't do that, I won't pull it into my shell, I won't look at anything.....

If that happens, it can no longer be said to be alive.

I can't help but become a foolish being.

that's all....

"Nevertheless... it was a heroic party, so please show me what it's like." the kind of cool place I've been longing for..... "

Ellis-san?

"Turn around... and walk..."

Ellis couldn't keep speaking till the end and fell.

Ellis-san!?

Mina held up Ellis in a panic.

There, you notice a slimy feeling.

When I looked at my hand, it was red and wet.

"This is..."

Mina hurriedly took off Ellis' cloak.

Then, a ruinous sight appeared underneath it.

There was a big scratch on my back.

A laceration running diagonally from the right shoulder to the left flank.

I try to take out the armor, and the flesh is shredded together.

"Oh, no... this is..."

Ellis took care of Mina and was seriously injured.

Mina understood this and her face warped so much that she was about to cry.

"Why... why!? Why are you doing this for me...!!!"

"I don't know... I don't know if you're the avenger... but I still want to help you..."

I'll heal you now!

It's not a case of being upset.

No one is crying.

Mina immediately cast her healing magic.

Sacred Breath, which is classified as advanced.

Even if the bone is broken, it can be restored over time.

Even if the flesh had gurgled and a lot of blood had flowed, it would be able to rise again.

A healing magic with so much power.

Mina unhesitatingly chanted with all her magic power.....

"Why... why!?"

The wounds on Ellis' back were healing.

As if playing back time, the laceration disappears.

The bleeding stopped and the bones that would have been broken stick to it.

Still.

Ellis's breathing became weaker and weaker.

The colour of blood disappears from my face and it becomes pale.

Liveliness has been lost.

"No, no, no...!" This is all my fault...!!! "

Mina had more magic power than ever before.

Do your best to cast healing magic.

Keep chanting.

However, Ellis's strength never returns to her body.

On the contrary, it gets colder and colder.

"Ah, ahh..."

The first blow was already fatal.

They took my life, they hurt my soul.

I was barely alive, it was just a bug's breath.....

It was clogged at the first time.

I can't do anything about it.

"Ellis-san! Wait, please wait!!! I still have to apologize to you... and make amends...!!!"

"... that's fine."

Ellis... laughed.

It's supposed to be my family's avenge.

It's supposed to be a revenge for the village.

I covered Mina's face and smiled.

”This is... more than revenge... after all, I was able to help someone... then... repentance...”

"Please, don't die!!" Because of me...!! "

"...... Cancer, besides......"

Ellis thought about Mina's future till the end.....

And that life has vanished.
