side: Hospital event, Ellis
For Ellis, the hospital event was astonishing.
There is no magical talent at all.
Nevertheless, the elder brother Ellis saw was trying hard to make money for the medicine.
National Magic Tournament (I was really selected as a national team player ... I was very active at that)
I can't believe that brother is a famous player.
Still, after hearing many times being stopped and asked for signs in the city, I finally realize that it is.
No, I guess it's possible that he's preparing that much to reassure me because he's that brother.
But it's probably true because both the nurse and the teacher said.
(Awesome. Awesome, brother)
Ellis thinks so.
He has no talent, but he's stupid like that but his brother, who managed to enter the Magic School, has become a famous player in the world of magic.
(I wonder if you can see your brother's activity if your eyes are healed)
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
The time until the operation passed quickly.
Linary and Eve came to make time for dinner.
"I'm losing to stand out more ..." said Ainsworth, and I and Ellis were able to celebrate the morning of the surgery with a healthier diet than ever before.
"My brother is really loved by many people."
"I don't think it's too exaggerated to be loved."
"That's not it. I was very relieved."
Ellis says.
"My old brother was always vigilant because everyone around me was like an enemy."
"That's because the environment was the environment. No, no. We're born of a noble, yeah. But we're too blessed to be a lot of opposition."
"I know. So I'm very happy my brother is surrounded by many people."
Ellis smiles.
That smile is what I want to protect.
If he can be happy, he doesn't need anything else.
That feeling has not changed at all.
"If I can see my eyes, can I become like my brother?"
It was such a slimy word.
"I can be. I can. I can. I can make as many friends as I can. I love everyone about Ellis."
I say.
"So, do your best"
"Yeah, do my best"
Until eventually entering the operating room, Ellis never said that she was anxious or scared.
Despite having anesthesia, it's not scary to be in direct contact with your eyes.
"Teacher, please. Elise's eyes ... Heal Elise's eyes ...!"
"I'll try my best"
Wait for the operation to end.
I'm not calm.
I ’m not very calm.
I felt so hurried that I couldn't help.
I want to do something.
I guess she could cure Ellis's eyes.
But I can't do anything.
I didn't know I was so helpless.
"It's okay. I'll succeed."
Ainsworth strokes my back.
The flow of time was terribly slow.
Time can be so slow in ways other than magic.
I went up and down the same corridor many times.
Go up the stairs, then up again.
My heart seems to stop at the voice I heard, and I feel relieved to know that it has nothing to do with Ellis.
"It looks uneasy."
What I heard was an unexpected voice.
"Mr. Emery"
I stop and turn to the teacher.
"Why are you here?"
"I asked Gunter that today was your sister's surgery."
"I wasn't a person with no such concern."
"That's right. But I'm just a little bit minded. Perhaps I'm a little different in my dealings."
"That's better. If you're a free-minded self-centered magician, you're definitely going to miss it."
"I'm married to magic"
"I'm passionate and enviable."
I look at the hands of the clock.
Time is still slow and not progressing.
"Why are you so important to your sister?"
"What is that question?"
"I don't know that feeling, because I've never cherished someone as much as you."
Emery says.
"I'm a little interested. If you like it, I'd like to know for your reference."
It didn't seem like he was getting serious, but he was listening seriously.
"Have you ever felt that you are hated by everyone in the world?"
"I don't know. I think some people liked me in any situation. It's strange that they liked me."
"I am. That was when I was aware. I had no parents or friends, and the people around me showed up and fled a bit of the food I had gathered. We hated us out of the ordinary like stray dogs. Everyone hated me. "
I say.
"In the meantime, only Ellis relied on me. He told me that he liked me, maybe because she was a brother and sister. That blind child had no other party than me But I was really saved, but I thought I could live, I thought I was going to live for this child, Ellis gave me the meaning of living It's just "
is that so.
Ellis says I'm helping me, but it's not.
In fact, I was helped by Ellis.
Have been saved.
So-
"Whatever I do to make Ellis happy. That's the meaning of my life."
"I see. That's your reason."
Emery nods.
"It's been a study. It's a feeling I can't understand, but I think there's a little bit of it."
"That was nice."
Then the teacher said with a serious face.
"I hope you succeed. I really think so."
That was when the operating room door opened.
I am running out.
Ellis came out and had bandages on both eyes.
I hug my little body tightly so as not to shock my eyes.
"Good luck, Ellis. Great. Ellis is really amazing."
"Brother"
A voice of relief shakes the eardrum immediately.
An important voice that is more important than anything else.
To Ellis, who fought, I was given only body temperature.
Ellis's sensory organs are more sensitive than usual, so I just need to give me some energy.
I will embrace you with that heart.
I couldn't see the teacher's face.
If you failed.
I'm scared and my heart is about to collapse.
But that feeling will surely be passed on to Ellis.
Because intelligent Ellis will surely notice my upset.
So you can't see it.
Above all, we have to praise Ellis for his hard work.
"Good luck ... really good luck ...!"
"Thank you, brother"
It didn't matter what the glance of the people who came and went.
Send energy to Ellis with all the power he can.
After making sure Ellis was calm enough, I got up.
Gunter was looking at me.
"I have a story"
It took me courage to say the word.
I was much more scared than the devil.
"Did you succeed?"
I can not breathe.
Tells me, the words are scary.
"I've done my best. I don't know the result. Three hours later, I first take the bandage and apply the medicine. At that time, it's a matter of seeing or not."
"After three hours ..."
I wonder if this time will continue.
No, no.
What's really scary is Ellis.
No matter what the consequences, I have to be careful not to disturb Ellis.
"understood"
I swallow upset.
Reduce anxiety.
That's not a big deal for Ellis.
"I want to talk about the causes of her eyes and respiratory illness. I felt like a possibility, but I was convinced through surgery. This was the kind of curse that the oldest devil used to I'm sorry. "
"A curse of the devil?"
It was an incredible word.
"Why Ellis is the curse of the devil"
"I don't know. However, if the surgery was successful, her eyes would probably disappear again in five years. Her respiratory tract was worse. Now I don't even know how to cure it."
"Is there a way to cure it?"
"Because the devil's curse is completely different from magic, the only possible possibility is to let the highest demons dismiss it."
Dr. Gunter said in a serious face, but I took it as a hope.
Devil of the highest rank-that is, should the devil's king decurse?
Then there is something I can do.
Rather, it's much better than it had to rely on surgery.
For three hours before the first instillation, I was holding Ellis's little hand.
"Okay, my brother will definitely beat Ellis's illness."
"Yes. Thank you, brother."
Ellis thought she was just encouragement, but it's not.
This is determination.
Absolutely cure Ellis's body.
Such determination.
"Then remove the bandage."
Three hours have passed.
The bandage is unwound.
Ellis,
Open your eyes.
"ow--"
The first thing that sounded was a scream.
Ellis looks down and covers her eyes with her hands.
I forget how to breathe.
"Eris !?"
Was it a failure?
Ellis said to me as she leaned forward.
"No, it's okay. It's just too bright and my eyes hurt."
Then I continued to bite.
"I see ... I see, my brother ...!"
I could not believe it.
Is it true?
I thought this was too convenient.
But it was happening right in front of me-
I'm glad
I'm too happy.
I was so happy that my eyes were completely white.
"It was good ... it was really good"
I hugged the little body tightly.
