It was when Ibuki relaxed her cheeks naturally in the voice of Kazuya's labor and was pleased in her heart that her struggles had been rewarded.

'Sister, please hold on. What do you hesitate to come so far?'

'No, but... to show your husband this ugly face... and what kind of a useless face I would stand in front of your husband if I failed to carry out my task...'

I can hear Chiyo and Chiyoda arguing from outside the hospital room.

Then, in reaction to it, Ibuki squeezes her face tight.

While regretting that Ibuki's smile has disappeared, Kazuya urges two people outside the hospital room to enter the room.

"It's open, come in."

"Huh!!

'Look, the master is told to come in, too, and I'll go. Sister. "

"Ma, wait, Chiyoda!! I'm still ready for my heart!!

"Time's up, sister."

With ruthless words, I galloped open the door of the drawer, and Chiyoda entered the room, then about three seconds apart, before Chiyo came into the room of horror.

……

Kazuya stares at the thousand-year-old as he slowly walks up to her in a confused, wide hospital room.

The thousand-year-old right eye was fitted with a martial bone black eye band, the right cheek with gauze to hide the vivid scars, and the long dark hair Kazuya preferred was about half the length before.

"......................................."

Reaching the side of the bed, Thousand Years stands in front of Kazuya trying to say something, yet lost sight of the words to say.

"My sincere apologies!! You just skipped Marie Maiden or did not fulfill your husband's order!!

And I dared to sit down as I rubbed my forehead against the floor wondering if I'd finally opened my mouth.

"... a thousand years old?

"Ha!!

"Just stand up, I can't see your face"

"... Hi"

"And over here"

"Hi."

Kazuya chooses to make an arrangement with a thousand years old when he stands a thousand years old when he is grounded but disappears from his sight because of it.

"Eh... eh?

"If Thousand Years is Safe, That's Fine"

He held his thousand-year-old body forcefully with weak force after the invitation, and Kazuya, who pulled him into bed, held him tight as he said so.

"... Your husband... Dear... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Thousands of years old, which were made into sudden events but remained, ascertain Kazuya's warm body temperature and pulsating heartbeat sounds up close, while the emotions that had been pushing him to death exploded and his tear glands were decimated.

Kazuya woke up. The joy and the pity that did not meet Kazuya's expectations crossed over into a lot of tears and overflowed.

And Kazuya just gently hugged and continued to flaunt the thousand years she cried like a toddler.

"Guzz...... it's okay now. Calmed down....... sorry. I'm going to show you ugliness."

After exactly five minutes, I stopped crying. When the thousand years old slowly get out of Kazuya's embrace, I blush my cheeks and say a word of apology in embarrassment.

"No, I don't know what to say... but as far as I'm concerned, it was a blessing to see a thousand different years old, huh?

"Oh, that's such a joke..."

Thousands of years old make their faces redder and shrink smaller in Kazuya's teasing words.

"Ha ha, bad bad. Now a thousand years old. I'll heal your eyes and face wounds, so come here one more time."

"... I'm sorry, sir. I'm glad to hear that feeling, but I want to keep this face and right eye as a commandment to myself. Until we kill him with this hand."

A thousand years old answers with apologies, but with firm will, to Kazuya's words in an attempt to restore the wounds on his right eye and face lost in his ability to fully heal.

Its right-eye and facial wounds, which still emit dull pain, were self-restraint for a thousand years old, symbols of swearing vengeance and snowflakes, and also fuel for constant burning and rolling off the black flames of resentment.

"... right"

Kazuya, who understood the mood of a thousand years old and respected it, nodded his gavel.

I'll see you later.

"Oh, okay. I'm sorry, but I need to talk to you about the country and the military for a while now."

"Ha!!

Thousands of years old leave Kazuya's place with a sunny face as if the possession had fallen, so much so that he suspects it is someone else from when he came to the hospital room.

In that context, he was not disappointed by Kazuya for failing to accomplish his orders, because he was called again to treat him normally without being disgusted by the wounds on his face or the loss of his right eye, and because he gave up the earliest opportunity if he did not heal his injuries, if he penetrated his own self.

"My lord, may I have a moment?

"Hmm? What?

When Chiyoda leaves the hospital room with Chiyo leaving, and Ibuki leaves the hospital room to pick up the current war situation and recent reports at Kazuya's request again, Kazuya's attending doctor comes to his side.

"I wanted to explain a few things to you about the future of your left arm and your body."

"... oh, okay. Please."

Kazuya answers naturally and tightly to the words emanating from the attending's mouth.

"So, first of all, it's about the future of the left arm, which has several options. A proposal to transplant biological parts diverted from the technology of biological terminals established by Assistant President Chiyoda as prosthetics. Next, a proposal for a prosthetic hand to be made using unique materials, magic and other technologies that exist in this world. And a compromise proposal that mixes the former two proposals to combine the advantages of both, etc. That said, you don't put your left arm on right now, and you have the option not to. You may also wish to take your time."

"............ ok. Think about it"

Kazuya nods with a complicated face as the brain does not recognize that it is already gone and still feels the feeling of having a left arm there.

"The next thing I know about your body, this one will be solved by time. In a month's time, we'll be able to send it without a problem if it's about everyday life."

"Right. That's good."

One nod and then a gaze outside the window, Kazuya gavels at the attending's story as she looks up at the blue sky that widens outside the window.

"Yes. Really. It's as if Your Excellency has a good fortune goddess on him that all these injuries will heal in such a short period of time."

Nico and I were attending to joyfully flatter Kazuya's recovery with a full grin, but the next moment, I freeze into Kazuya's uttered words.

"So... how long will my body have?

Kazuya whispered with such a loud voice that only the attending doctor on his side could hear him.

"- Huh!? Hey, what did you say..."

……

……

……

"-... Everybody, take your seats off."

After a long silence, the attending orders all the nurses who were in the hospital room to leave, and even four more maids, with the exception of Luminous the Dark Elf, who were holding back in line at the wall, drive them from the hospital room to the hallway.

The four nurses and maids, who had not heard Kazuya, quietly obeyed the attending physician's instructions without questioning his sudden eviction or the fact that only Luminous was allowed to remain in the hospital room.

And an extremely important story begins inside a large hospital room where only three people are gone.

"... I'll tell you first, I'm the only one who knew about this matter, Luminous, who studied magic medicine and was on treatment as your Excellency's exclusive medical doctor, and me, your Lordship's attending physician. I've told the others that you have no problems with your health."

"I guess so, that's the right choice. I don't know what would happen if I told these stories to thousands of years old."

The attending continues the conversation with an extremely serious face, whilst he leaks his voice laughing at the fear of Kazuya.

"... and since when have you noticed?

"I roughly understood the moment I woke up. It's your body, isn't it? I realize any idiot would feel this uncomfortable. … so tell me what my body is in and how much more"

"Yes, sir."

You understand that delusion doesn't work on Kazuya, who knows everything, and the attending sends Luminous an eye out.

Noticed the attending's eye-opener, Luminous slowly opens his mouth with a sinking face after showing a slightly lost bare gesture.

"… I would like to go straight to the point. Your husband is no longer... human. No, would it be more accurate to say that you are not a human?"

……

You're not human... are you? I was expecting it... but I knew it would be a heavy story.

But you're not human, Nani? What does that mean?

I thought I was a vampire after all...

Surprised by Luminous's opening best words, Kazuya pierces the silence in the guise of calm, even though in doubt.

"First of all, as your husband knows, your husband's body is vampired by Marie Maiden's vampire behavior. However, the mysterious curse (serious) that existed in your husband's body seems to have prevented complete vampirization. And eventually I said it was a nani who wasn't human because the curse transformed your husband's body from human to another thing to protect your husband's body from vampirization..."

"Hey, give me a minute. Hey, mysterious curse?

Kazuya eats at the unruly words out of Luminous's mouth.

"Yes. From what I've looked into, the curse is not the kind of thing that works harm. No, on the contrary, there is a curse that works in the direction of protecting your husband, which is also subject to the surgeon - a surgical object that becomes more effective the more you think about your husband exists in your husband's body. Do you have any idea?

"No, not at all..."

"Really...... I am currently letting my subordinates find out what this curse is and who put it on your husband with what intent, so it is likely that we will find out who the curse or the bad guy is before it is too far away, but if your husband doesn't remember either, it will be a little puzzling"

"Oh, yeah."

What a nasty development.

For a moment when I was told that my body was under an unidentified curse, my liver was a cold cuz, but I was heard that the curse had consequently prevented vampirization, and I had a grin like I had no trouble deciding what face to put on.

"Well, if you don't know, the curse thing can be done again. So, in the end, I'm not a human being, I'm not a vampire. You're a nanny, aren't you?

"Yes, there are at least three races - human, vampire, and subhuman genetic traits confirmed, so there's nothing else to say if you're a nani who's not human with all due respect"

"Right. Well, if you don't know, you can treat this story. Let's get back to business. How long will my body last? I understand we don't have much more time than all that negative magic from Illis."

Saying so, Kazuya seeps through the color of giving up.

I can clearly perceive that magic like that curse is creeping up on my body. I don't seem to have much time for this... well.

"... for ten years. Fifteen years, I think."

"Yes..."

Assuming it's as little as ten years... you can't worship the way the younger kids grow up.

Kazuya meditates her eyes on the time limit that pops out of the attending's mouth, rebutting the attending's words in her head.

"At present, Your Excellency's body is invaded by what should be called malignant cancer cells if you give an easy-to-understand example of Illis' negative magic. As a result, it seems that there will surely be various obstacles over time now, even without hindrances. Ironically, however, your life expectancy has only increased slightly because you are no longer human. Five years would have been the limit if we had stayed human in a pure sense."

Maiden sucked my blood, so my life expectancy increased, huh? What a sarcasm - no, he's the cause of this, so he's bad in the end.

Still, you're going to die twitching and savoring the pain... that looks tight.

Kazuya smiles similarly to herself when she is told that the influence will surely come over time without ”immediate” influence.

"In your and my view, Luminous, after seven to eight years, the body's five senses and functions are gradually lost in sight, eventually within ten to fifteen years..."

"Are we going to die...? Ha..."

It was when Kazuya exhaled with a heavy sigh, painting the worst results on the back of her brain.

Something dozzles down the floor from the door.

"... Ibu? - Stop it Ibu!!

"Mogga!?

He came back with the necessary paperwork and wondered if Ibuki had overheard the contents of the secret conversation or if he was shivering with his eyes open with one hand hanging on the door, but at the next moment Ibuki was pushing down the attending physician and pushing in the muzzle of Glock 18, a model with full auto capability added to its mouth.

Moreover, a 22-calibre pistol that is spare for Luminous, who stepped out to aggressively hold Ibuki, who went out on the offense - showing the lack of clearance of pointing at the muzzle of the Walther P22, a model that shrunk the Walther P99 by 75 percent.

"Your Excellency dies?... that your life expectancy is ten years from now?

"Ibuki!! Get your gun off me!!

"What are you talking about?

Hu, fu and beastly rough breath with dos black staring eyes Ibuki stares into the rattling and trembling attending's eyes, strengthening the power of the index finger pulling on the trigger.

"Ibuki!!

"You spit such nonsense..."

"Calm down!!

Kazuya moves her heavy body like lead in a mood and forces herself out of the bed.

And I grabbed Gashi and Ibuki's shoulder.

"Huh!!

"Slow down, slow down and let go of the gun"

"... I'm sorry. Disturbed."

Did Kazuya grab his shoulder and return to sanity, Ibuki slowly holds Glock 18 and Walther P22 in his holster and stands up.

"but...... I demand more explanation now"

Ibuki twisted his face like a ghost and stared at the attending doctor, just because he had to forgive the silence.

"Yes. immediately."

Lending his hand to Luminous because of his hip loss, the attending doctor who finally got up was pushed by the horrible aura emitted by Ibuki, forgetting that his pants were wet with warm yellow liquid, and began to talk about the backdrop so far with a quick mouth.

"No... my lord... Master Kazuya... is... dead... no, this is a dream... but... My lord, this is to the Vice President…"

"There's no way you can say it. This story is a secret to just the four of us. Don't leak it, all right? Especially for Chiyo and Chiyoda, and for Illis."

Kazuya stabs a nail at Ibuki, who knows a serious secret and blues his face.

"Oh, but!! but that's too......"

Kazuya shakes her neck sideways at Ibuki eating down in tears as she can no longer enjoy herself.

"No. Don't tell me no matter what. Besides, I haven't decided to die on my own. There's a chance we'll find some way to extend our lives and live longer than we can. So don't be so pessimistic."

While he understands it's impossible, Kazuya speaks with laughter and optimism to reassure Ibuki.

"Ugh..."

But Ibuki continues to whimper and weep as he becomes unnecessarily sad and overwhelmed because he notices Kazuya's thoughts as he tries to reassure himself.

"- Oh, already!! This story is over!! Ibuki, just give me the report!! I want to know the whole war situation."

Kazuya ends this story in a hospital room filled with sunken air as if overnight. and raised his voice all the time.

"Ha...... yes. Guzz, this way."

With tears wiped away, the report that Ibuki offered as a snack.

On the surface, it said the 33rd Mechanical Division - the former Foreigner Squad Combat Progress Report. After receiving it, Kazuya began to read it without heart, scrolling the page with perplexity.
