Chapter 17: The Trial of the Crowd (Part 1)
As soon as Minerva's raised fist slammed down, a soft white light flashed across Arashi's body. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć In Honglian's surprised gaze, that white light instantly healed most of the wounds on Lan's body. However, it would be more appropriate to describe it as 'disappearing' rather than a cure.
Because through the torn corners of her clothes, Honglian could clearly see that except for the blood that had not yet coagulated, only clean and complete skin could be seen on her bare body, and not even a single scar had been left. This strange healing technique is really in line with the identity of the other party's witch.
Although she sighed at the magic of the witch's methods, Honglian still frowned deeply. Because Lan's severed arm, although it has stopped bleeding, it has not recovered for some reason, and the bare left shoulder looks particularly eye-catching.
"Huh?" seemed to be equally surprised by the situation, and Minerva blinked in confusion. Then she raised her fist high again and prepared to fall, only this time she didn't succeed. The man's thick palm firmly grasped the opponent's wrist before the fist approached, and then the girl's cry of pain was heard.
"You idiot, that's how you treat your savior?" Minerva, frowning and angry, pursed her lips, and her tone of anger mixed with inexplicable emotions made Arashi recognize the changes in her surroundings.
"Lan, are you awake?" the surprised Red Lotus wagged her tail and walked over to his side to rub it, "She's the younger sister of Akidona, and she's about to heal you." Arashi, you let go of her hand first. ā
"I'm sorry. Chaos' consciousness instantly returned to consciousness, and Arashi, whose face was a little pale, let go of his palm and made an apologetic gesture towards the blonde girl.
Minerva, who somehow turned her head, responded with a nasal hum. The other party's reluctant appearance made Honglian breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly continued: "I'm sorry for you, please heal his left hand." ā
"I don't need you to say it, I'll do it too. The girl who said this raised her hand and slammed it on Arashi's body, a heavy punch like a retaliation, and a low sound as it hit the male body, but nothing changed.
"How is it possible? My ability has failed?" Minerva, who was even more surprised than Red Lotus, raised her fist again, but was stopped by Agidona.
"All right, Minerva. Calling her sister's name, Agidonna walked up to the girl, "It's not that your abilities have failed, it's that you've received interference from the world. ā
"What do you mean?" Honglian, who cared more about her partner's body than anyone else, said the problem on behalf of the girl.
"The ability that Minerva got from the world is to repair, as you just saw, those wounds are gone. Agidona, who walked up to them step by step, explained to the crowd, "It is precisely by virtue of her power that she reverses the cause and effect of things, and fundamentally denies the existence of wounds, so as to achieve the healing effect. ā
"Omitting the word bad won't affect your meaning, Akidonna with three tongues. Standing up from Arashi's side, Minerva looked unhappy at the debasement of her abilities.
"Ah, sorry, sorry. The insincere Ajidonna smiled and spread her palms calmly, "Whoever told you to use your abilities every time you will throw the world out of balance, and then cause even more exaggerated disasters." ā
You old ladies, can you finish the important things first? The red lotus who has a request for help can only bury the complaint deep in her heart, afraid that the other party will be endlessly entangled, so she has to interject again.
"The treatment failed because it was disturbed, isn't this your territory, why is it disturbed?"
"That's right. Agidonna nodded as a matter of course, "This is the City of Dreams, a city that belongs only to me. But......" stretched out his finger and pointed at Lan and Honglian, "It's not me who interferes with the treatment, it's you!"
"You say it's us?" Red Lotus's eyes widened, and it really couldn't understand the witch's words.
"You, to be exact. Ai Ji Donna, who pointed out the culprit, answered for the red lotus who couldn't figure out her thoughts, "You who directly ate the forbidden fruit have established a weak link with this world, and that link will make us who stay by your side slightly affect the use of abilities. ā
"What is the effective distance?" For Honglian, eating that crystal is like a favorite delicacy for ordinary diners, and she doesn't think about it that much at all. However, now that you know the problem, the solution becomes simpler, and since it is your own problem, you can use your abilities as long as you keep the other party away from the effective distance.
"I don't know. Agidonna shook her index finger, her face full of evil smiles, and just looking at it made Red Lotus angry.
"Let's do it first. Arashi, who had been silent since the moment she woke up, suddenly sat up and stopped everyone from talking. As if he had made a deliberate decision, he continued to look at Agidona, "I'm going out. ā
"Lan ......" Honglian's confused gaze swept over her partner's pale face, it couldn't understand why Lan chose to go out at this time, could there be something more important than treating her left hand?
It was responded to by Arashi silently shaking his head in refusal. He didn't have much interest in talking, but looked back at Agidona on the side, waiting for the witch's reply.
"As a host, I have no intention of refusing a guest's request. Agidona, who was in a good mood, raised her hand to summon a small door, and didn't seem to have any intention of holding back, "Looking forward to your next visit." ā
With a silent face, he leaned over to pick up the karma on the ground and put it back in the scabbard. Dressed in slightly embarrassed clothes, he took a crooked step and walked straight to the small door. And the red lotus, who was about to keep up with her partner, was pinched by Ai Ji Dona's neck and lifted up.
"You woman, what are you doing with me? With her two hind legs fluttering in mid-air, Red Lotus glared angrily at the witch who had grabbed her.
"I didn't say you could go with him. Hey, Arashi, as a reward for the treatment, let me have a separate conversation with your dog, no problem. Agidonna smiled and looked at the man in front of her, who was standing sideways.
"Don't bully it. Arashi, who nodded, pushed the door away after saying this sentence again.

ā¦ā¦
When his consciousness returned to his body, Caiyue opened his eyes and looked around, the dim flickering lights swayed on the wall, and the cold wind blowing from behind him made him shiver At the same time, the memory in his mind suddenly became clear and real.
Being able to meet his father Kenichi Natsuki again, so that Natsuki Pleiades who has returned to reality is still very excited. Even though he knew that the other party might be an impostor, the love he felt from his father really warmed his heart.
"It's okay if you don't want to study, it's okay if you're afraid of failure, no matter what you become, you're my favorite child. ā
Caiyue, who has been chasing her father's back since she was a child, found for the first time that her parents had never asked for anything, and the false pressure on her back dissipated into pieces, and the feeling of relief made Caiyue take a deep breath, and then look at the girl in front of her.
The silver-haired half-elf who fell in front of him, the pain on his face was like a lingering cloud, and the hands that grabbed the corners of his clothes occasionally trembled briefly, which was due to the twitching reaction of fear and fear.
When Natsuki ran to the girl's side, she could even hear her moaning in pain.
āā¦ā¦ Kindness...... Don't, don't die...... Everyone...... No. ā
Having just experienced the trial of parting with the past, Caiyue Pleiades knew very well that the reason why she was so miserable was probably the past that she didn't understand.
But now was not the time to think about it, and no matter what the outcome of the trial was, he would take the painful Emilia out. Making this decision, Natsuki was about to stretch out her hand to the girl when a faint sound of the door opening suddenly sounded in the darkness.
