- Tina side -

As I approached Eric, Eric was about to fall like he had done his best.

Soon after he called my name and thanked me, Eric passed out.

"Eric!"

I've never seen such exhausting Eric.

I've seen Eric train and stuff since I was little, but I've never seen it this far.

Maybe you won't wake up...!

I imagine the worst.

What can I do......!?

"Ah... restorative magic!

I come up with something I can do and soon let Eric sleep slowly on the spot and I start building up magic.

I'm tired of using magic many times today too, but compared to Eric this is...!

It also takes strength to build up magic.

I accumulate magic and exercise magic with a little roughness in my breath.

"Please, live, Eric......!" Healing (Cure) "!

I feel my strength and strength fall out of my body at once.

I never thought I would feel this tired because I was born and used my magic with the most force ever.

"Ugh...!

For a moment, my consciousness almost faded but I manage to hold out.

Eric's body wound keeps healing.

Maybe Eric's trauma is only to the extent that he's been slashed in the leg, but I think the damage to his gut is enormous.

Eric is spitting blood out of his mouth.

I mean, it's totally bleeding from somewhere in the gut.

My healing magic is light magic, trauma wounds heal fast, but visceral wounds heal slowly.

Eric said before that visceral wounds have to be restorative magic of water magic.

I don't remember the restorative magic of water magic because Eric has never suffered such a wound to his gut before......!

I regret so much that I can't reach my power, I almost cry but keep using magic to heal Eric's wounds a little bit.

"Ha... ha...!

My shortness of breath is getting worse.

Sometimes the appearance of Eric lying down gets sumptuous.

"Eric......! Don't die......!

When I use magic in critical conditions, I hear voices from those in the village.

"Mr. Dean! You can't move yet!

"My son is fighting and I'm falling...! I'm not that kind of guy!

Apparently, Uncle Dean has come this far by shaking off the pull off of two of the hunters earlier.

"Erik! I can still fight!

When he turned to the voice, his uncle with the great sword stood at the broken wall.

"Hmm...? Where is he...?

"Mr. Dean, Eric, you're down!

"What no!? Eric, are you okay!?

"Is Tina okay too!? I've never seen a sign of such a fierce battle...!

The three of them stop by when they see me and Eric.

I try my best to explain to the three of them as I continue to use my magic.

"Already, the man has defeated......! But Eric is in danger...!

"Oh! Well, I see, Tina."

Uncle Dean looked a little further from us, and he seemed to have roughly guessed the situation with the eyes of a man who was falling and dying there.

"Tina, thank you for the magic. You can rest now."

Uncle Dean brutally strokes my head and says so.

I guess my uncle knows I can't do it and use magic.

"But Eric...!

"Eric is fine. My son is not going to die like this. So sleep in peace."

I'm relieved for some reason that Eric hasn't even helped me yet after hearing what my uncle said...

Because of that, tiredness and drowsiness strike me at once.

"Give me Eric... please..."

I got a smaller voice than I thought, but I sincerely ask you to make sure it sounds like Uncle Dean...

"I'll take care of it, Tina... well done"

The last time I heard that voice, I fainted, just like Eric did so hard.

- Dean side -

I'm weak.

Tina faints in front of me right now, and I think as I support her not to fall into the ground.

Until just now, I was fighting a man called the Demon Clan, but it was Eric who was able to fight each other.

I got knocked out fighting him without a hand or a leg.

I would have died if it weren't for Tina.

I've got all those big wounds and they're healing because Tina magically healed me.

And even without me, Eric was alone... no, maybe Tina was with him.

The two of us, we defeated that strong man.

What's a Han in the Han......!

I can't protect one of my sons...!

Seeing Eric fall with his face turning bright blue in front of him, I grip my fist hard with remorse.

"Hey you guys! I'll carry you both! I'll carry Eric!

"Hey, Mr. Dean is seriously injured too, so don't push me!

"That's right! We'll carry the two of you!

I didn't know these fellow hunters would worry me too......

But like these guys said, I'm still freaking out.

Eric also has muscles on him, and he's getting heavier, so if I carry him now, it's hard in case he falls.

I have no choice......

"Then I'll carry Tina! I need you two to carry Eric!

Light Tina or so would be able to carry me even now.

"Uh... Mr. Dean, did you have that hobby?

"Dean, you have such a beautiful wife..."

"I'm not kidding! Are you dying?

"" Shh, excuse me!

The two of you will apologize instantly when I scream beautifully.

Damn it, I'm on Serena's side.

Lift Tina in her arms.

Light... such a little girl made me use magic until I fainted.

As I walk into the village, a fellow hunter comes from behind with his body under Eric's arm, supported by two passengers.

But...

I'm finally settling down, so I start thinking about things I've been wondering a little bit about.

Why was Eric acting as if he knew a bunch of demons were going to push over and this man was coming?

Even the walls surround the entire village.

This is something you'll never be able to prepare without knowing in advance.

Eric was gone during his birthday party in the village, and by the time a bunch of demons pushed him over, he was already here to fight.

If we don't know where a large group of demons are coming from, we won't be able to deal with them so quickly.

What does Eric know...?
