After defeating the Winged Tiger, Philia and I retrieved Asclepius' wand from the altar and escaped Necropolis.

I guess Philia's power is rising more rapidly than I thought.

If only I had mastered one of Lucy's great magic skills.

If you are officially a wise man and use that magic to learn magic that no other magician can do... Philia may become a legendary adventurer.

I say to Philia as I go up the stairs of the mansion.

"Philia should be a wise man after all."

"I guess... Can't you be a sorcerer like Solon?

"I'm not saying no, but it's a waste of time for Philia."

I kept trying to convince Philia, but Philia didn't seem convinced.

I would rather Philia did pure magic than learn how to use swords and magical swords.

Unlike me, Philia has that qualities.

Anyway, Arte's treatment is our top priority right now.

It needed the magic of Philia, the wand of Asclepius, and the great magic of His Holiness Hestia.

Sophia has learned how to collect the wand and use the great magic of His Holiness Hestia.

Conditions are met.

Sophia looked relieved to see us back. Her jade eyes are also a little rough.

"Solon-kun... I'm glad you're safe."

You worried me.

Sofia blushed her face and turned down to hesitate.

And all of a sudden, he hugged me.

"Yes, Sofia!?

"This is how His Highness Philia always hugs Solon... even me..."

The sweet scent of Sofia makes me dry. [M]

When I was hugged, Sofia's soft body touched me and I blushed.

"His Highness Philia told me before Solon and the others left. Solon will definitely come back, so you have to believe him."

Speaking of which, before leaving, Philia was whispering something to Sofia, who was opposed to going to Necropolis.

Is that what that was about?

Sofia smiled complicated.

"I thought Solon would be fine. But... even without me, you could have attacked with His Highness Philia. Don't be jealous."

"Um...."

"I can't do this without Solon, so I wanted Solon to need me too... but that's on my own."

"Sofia is what I need. I wouldn't have succeeded as an adventurer without Sofia."

"Thank you."

Sofia smiled with a smile.

Then, slap your hands.

"We need to fix Arte now."

When we entered Alte's room, Alte slept like he was dead.

The symptoms have settled now. But sometimes it hurts like a seizure.

Philia wore Asclepios' wand.

A staff with wings and golden snakes.

And he stood by Alte's pillow.

As Sofia taught him, Philia begins to chant magic.

"My Lord, my God. You are our refuge. For thou art the Lord,

Give salvation and mercy to God and to those who love you. "

Philia snapped quietly, but with a beautiful voice.

Suddenly, the blue light that was just blinking scattered, enveloping Arte.

Philia waves her wand gently.

Alte's body starts to shine.

Eventually, Alte moved and opened her eyes.

"This is...."

Alte snapped.

Philia smiled beautifully on her face illuminated by the light.

"I'll help you."

The blue glow grew stronger and stronger, and for a moment, a strong wind blew through.

And the magic is over.

"Seems to have succeeded..."

Sofia says small.

Philia and I looked at each other and nodded.

I was going to ask Alte how he was, but before that, Alte started crying.

"Well, what's the matter, Alte?

"I can see the light... Your body moves....."

The treatment seemed to have been successful.

I was able to interfere with the blurred magic circuit and restore it to some normal state.

Even so, magic is not available again.

I just recovered from blindness and limb paralysis.

In other words, Alte is just a girl who can't use magic.

Still, Alte was weeping. It's not sadness, it's tears of joy.

Sofia stroked her hair on her shoulders to soften Arte.

Philia looked at it and had a ticklish expression. And you stare at me.

"Solon... it's really nice to be able to help someone."

"That's right. If Philia becomes a great magician... if she becomes a wise man, more people will need her."

Philia opened her eyes as if she had been fooled, and she snapped "wise man...".

Soon Calm Alte stood up and stared at me with black eyes.

"... Senpai Solon. Looks like I have to thank you."

"Thank you, Philia and Sofia."

"Of course. I cannot thank Her Majesty and the Virgin. But... I don't think I'd have been able to save you if it weren't for you."

I shrugged my shoulders.

It was strange to be thanked by someone who once disliked me and banished me.

"... senpai. What am I going to do now?

"You can do whatever you want."

"But I'm your slave, right?

"It's a formal story. I just needed to play to help, and I'm not actually going to be a slave."

"Senpai and I paid a huge amount of money to 'buy' Flora, right? And you went to dangerous Necropolis to find a cure... Why are you doing that?

There are many reasons.

I have one promise with Flora and Philia's will.

But one of the biggest reasons.

"I just want to do it. As I told you before, Arte and I are very similar, so we can't leave him alone."

That said, Alte shook his neck to the side.

"Me and Senpai are not alike."

"Oh, I hate it. I don't want to be told it's like me."

"That's not what I meant... Senpai is strong. Even if I was banished, I was able to find a place on my own. But... I have no power, and I don't know what to do."

"I don't know what to do with Alte, but you can stay in this mansion until you know. They'll get sick, and it'll take time for Flora to recover."

"Thank you... senpai..."

Alte said something and shook his neck sideways.

I was concerned about the continuation.

"Did you say something?

"Senpai... I was going to say that you're kind, but I stopped because it's a line that doesn't suit me."

"Haha, I see."

When I laugh, Arte stares at me.

"I'm not laughing."

"Oh, sorry."

When I apologized, Arte burst out laughing.

"I forgive you."

The smile looked like the pure smile of an old girl and was cute.

Arte was originally the most beautiful girl in magic school, so naturally she's beautiful, but it's probably the first time I've ever felt cute.

"... senpai. I need a favor."

Alte suddenly got serious and looked at me.

I wonder what they'll cut out.

"If there's anything I can do, I'll ask."

"... treat me like a real slave."

Arte didn't hesitate to say so.
