I just want to talk to you about a lot of things, but first I want to heal your battle fatigue.

That's what I thought, I was going back to the inn and taking a break...

"Iris!!!

I rushed down to the first floor of the inn when I heard about a seriously injured Illis being found.

Iris, wet with a large amount of blood on his chest, was sleeping on the table.

Next to it are the figures of Sola and Luna, who are exercising restorative magic.

"Iris, are you okay!? Iris!"

"Rayne, calm down. I know how you feel, but if you mess up, you won't even see what you see."

"Damn...... bad"

Tania told me to slightly regain my composure.

Then ask Sola and Luna.

"How are the injuries in Illis...?

"... it's pretty bad when you smash it"

"The injury has healed. But I won't wake up. Little by little, your vitality is diminishing… maybe you've been hurt by your soul"

Sola and Luna looked bitter.

Although Illis is wet in blood, I don't see anything scary.

I guess the two of you treated them.

But your eyes stay closed, and the intervals between your chest up and down are terribly slow.

"Damn...... how could this be!

"Nyah... Monica, is it that woman's fault...?

"I don't know. He's quite capable of creating phantoms, but I don't think that's all he can do to make Iris this way..."

"Were you hiding a power we didn't know about? Or is there someone else? You should think about it."

"Seya. It's possible that we're being targeted, so we need to be careful."

Canade looks worried and looks here.

"Nyah... Rayne, are you okay? You look terrible. You'll be tired of fighting, and you should rest a little..."

"... no, I'm fine"

"But..."

"Sure, I'm tired, but I can't rest at a time like this. But thank you for worrying, Canade."

I manage to smile and stroke Canade's head.

Because this is the time...

This is the time, I need to calm down.

Don't get laid, don't rush, make sure you do what you have to do.

Breathe deeply.

"... All right"

A little, but I was able to calm down.

What do we need to do now?

Two.

Ensuring everyone's safety.

And to find a way to help Illis.

"Just give me a minute, please"

I went out of the inn and served dogs and birds.

Have him in charge of perimeter alert.

Breaking through both the sky and the ground, the alert net, won't be quite what you can do.

It's just that the enemy is the opponent who broke through Illis' defense.

There is a good chance that she is using a handful.

Like the special abilities that the most powerful species and others have... or magic props.

It will likely be the latter, because it is difficult to think of attacking Illis, whose most powerful species are his countrymen.

"Uh... there he is"

Discover a reactor ant that senses magic flow.

These guys breed everywhere.

Just use it and ask them to join the vigilance.

If some kind of magic prop is used, it will now be sensible.

I can't say it's perfect...

I did everything I could.

Return to the inn.

"I'm sorry, I let you go."

"What were you doing?

"Be on perimeter alert. It's not like they're going to attack us."

Tell them you laid a vigilance net for dogs, birds and reactor ants.

Then Rifa heads to the inn entrance.

"I'll work with you."

Rifa bites her fingers and bleeds.

As the blood swelled up, two wolves appeared.

"These kids are excellent. Let me be vigilant with you."

"Oh, that would help. With the power of Rifa, it's a hundred manpower."

If we create this many vigilance nets, our enemies will not be able to easily reach them either.

I can't distract you...

For one thing, I think it's okay to concentrate on the issue of Illis.

"Sola, Luna. How's Iris doing?

"Ugh... I'm sorry. We're doing everything we can to cure magic..."

"Again, your soul is likely to be hurt. When this happens, the status quo is best maintained and the recovery is…"

"Right..."

I guess I don't have a hitter.

Sora and Luna were also about to regret it.

But I don't want to give up here.

I might have been able to settle with Iris.

Like a normal girl, she might have laughed at me.

And yet I can't believe it's over...

You'll never admit that!

There's a way...

"... I know how to help Mr. Iris"

"Mr. Alpha?

Mr. Alpha, who should have been asleep upstairs, came down.

There was also a recoil when I was demonizing, and that body should be worn out.

Fact is, I'm flustered...

If Canade hadn't rushed over, he would have fallen as-is.

"I need to be asleep now..."

"No...... as a result, you hurt Mr. Iris because of me. You have to take that responsibility. Anything I can do."

Mr. Alpha had a very strong face.

I can be prepared to take it firmly from the front against my responsibilities.

To help Illis, I want any information now.

Besides, I can't interrupt Mr. Alpha's readiness.

"... what do you know about that?

"It's about harnessing the power of the most powerful species."

"Of the strongest species...?

"I've heard that there are some of the strongest species on the North Continent that can heal any wound and have the power to bring even the dead back to life"
