I had a dream.

Dreams floating round in dark, warm water.

I felt no wonder or anxiety.

On the contrary, I even feel safe that I miss somewhere.

In time, a big, gentle hand wrapped me up and pulled me out of the water......

"... n"

When I woke up, there was Beat quite as usual.

He falls asleep in his bed, laughs softly, hugs me and holds my head.

It's been repeated many times since I met this kid, a natural sight...... NOT!

Beat's regaining consciousness and sleeping with me for some reason.

It's not a natural sight at all.

That was blurry. My head woke up again.

"Beat......! Are you okay now......!?

Unexpectedly get your body out of bed and ask.

I get up with Beato on it, too, but I still want you to sleep.

"... eh"

Beat's complexion with a stiff nod, much better than it was before he fell.

That's what it was like before I was exposed to soma, before I was taken in by an artificial empireo.

"Treatment, I succeeded... Good, really, really good..."

"... eh"

Laughing, Beat, who makes my head look good.

Feelings of security and joy and all sorts of messed up, and I softly embraced Beato's body.

"...... Huh!!

Warm, soft.

I feel thrilled and pulsating heartbeat.

It's all a sign that this child is alive.

Welcome back, Beat.

Thank you for staying safe.

What we are in now is a witch's room in the deepest part of the company (do it).

As with the reception room, the cabbage and floor are wooden planks, more than ten times the size of that room lightly.

I mean, it's huge.

Behind there was a pedestal surrounded by a thin veil, in which I could see the shadow of a little dusty thing.

From what I hear, apparently, I, I slept through the night.

Toka seemed to be asleep as well, and she looks refreshed.

Health and magic, he slept plenty and healed well.

"No, hold on. That's the witch! It was brilliant!

"Raman's support was also accurate. Something I just expected."

"No, I don't"

Mr. Raman, you're a deredere......

Anyway, the treatment is rarely successful.

Now Beato is relieved for a moment.

"Thank you so much......! I will definitely have the cost of treatment and thank you...!

"Fine. Because it is not a matter of asking for consideration. … but one thing I want you to be aware of"

Things to watch out for......?

Tensions ran on my body to a witch looking very serious.

Could something be wrong...?

"I forbid you to use magic in the future."

"... Huh!?

Beato, I'm surprised.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm also convinced that Beato has been debilitated every time he uses magic.

"Master Beat's body was in a state where his own magic was disturbed by immense magic from the outside and anomalies even appeared in the flow of life force."

That's the explanation I heard when I got here.

Though it's my first ear for Beato, who wasn't conscious then.

"The treatment I have applied this time is a procedure that reduces that influx of magic as much as possible. So to speak, it's like building a weir in a river to push the flow to a halt. In the unlikely event that Master Beat uses a great deal of magic..."

Once separated, the witch told him clearly.

Never use magic, in a strong tone.

"The magic that you were stopping will break down and pour in all at once. Enough to put out the lights of life."

"...... Huh!!

"I mean..., if you use powerful healing magic, Beat dies...?

"That's what I mean"

Definitely.

But it's not a hard story.

We're just talking about not even having to use healing magic.

That's all the brief stories... it's supposed to be.

"... eh"

If this kid can't let go when he sees someone in trouble, can he gamble?

I want Beato to prioritize his life over the lives of others.

I have to keep an eye on it and make sure I never let you use it.

"Of course, not as long as you say no to the roots..."

"I know. The root of it, because I'm going to find it and I'm going to smash it."

A den of fanatics built far underground, one of them.

Nopt, Tulia, and Celia.

Before the three who called him, Joana showed up wearing the trustee's robe.

"Yes, yes, thank you for waiting. Judas the Depositary, this time I have brought you a message from God - Pussy pussy pussy ~"

"Sister, what is the announcement...?

"The trustee can know the survival of the brave. You know this, don't you?

"I know... The Kamisama tells me..."

Take Tulia's answer and nod satisfactorily.

"Yes, she's connected to a brave man, in the rice supply system. Couscous."

And Joana, who makes the very existence of the brave look like a little fool.

She slightly distorted her mouth, seeing the moment Celia's eyebrows moved pickly into her own remarks.

"Ugh, my main body now (...) is directly connected to that kid, right? So power up this feature, too. I know, Kirie's fine place is clear."

"... So, what are you going to do?

"Of course. Beating isolation would be an initial step in the operation, wouldn't it? Before taking any massive action, ask the biggest disturber to leave. For your convenience, now she's away from her crew to Fisherman's Country."

"Fishman's Country...... Is it possible that" The Jewel of the Sea God "is also refreshing...?

"Your answer. That's Sama the Knight Brave. If we can get it, our technology will be more complete."
