Mebis may not be able to use magic anymore......

The old woman's diagnosis was like a boulder, weighing heavily on the hearts of everyone present.

It should be that he realized this, and Mebis, who has the most say in his body, has been refusing to say the reason.

Maybe she was still looking forward to it before, but at this time, maybe it's really time to face reality......

“……”

"It's okay!"

Replacing the loss in her heart with a gentle smile, the feather-eared girl who showed that she didn't mind her attitude comforted everyone with the same tone as usual.

"Even if you can't use magic anymore, it's nothing compared to the safety of the city and everyone!"

"It's a path I have chosen, and it's not anyone's responsibility."

"Please don't feel sorry for this."

As early as when he made up his mind to use Radiance, Mebis was ready to come to his senses.

So she doesn't regret it.

It's just that neither her friends nor her fellow adventure hunters can do it without care.

“…… Grandma, Mebis her, is it still possible to recover? ”

Unwilling to accept this result, Zela tugged at the sheets and organized the words to squeeze words out of his mouth.

“…… This is the case...... With the level and ability of the old body, at most she can only regulate her body...... As for the possibility of recovery, although it cannot be said that there is none, but ......"

There was a slight hesitation on the old woman's face, and the old woman did not know how to explain the slightest possibility.

At least in her opinion, she had never seen it, and no one could do it.

"Can't say no...... That is, it's not impossible to recover, right? ”

"Hmm......"

Seeking affirmation, Zela seemed to be asking a question, as if she were speaking to herself.

And for those present, just confirming this is enough to be inspiring.

Even if the old woman replied that there was no hope, with Zela's character, it is estimated that she will do everything possible to make this impossible possible.

Who made her in some aspects, that 'stubbornness' has never changed......

After hearing that things had taken a turn for the better, the congealed air gradually eased, and the bodies of the three treasure hunters were no longer so stiff.

“…… Alright guys! I'll put my question aside for now! ”

"And Zela's body needs to be healed too!"

Taking advantage of the improvement in the atmosphere, the feather-eared girl clasped her palms slightly, diverting everyone's attention to the other 'patient'.

Even the color of her hair has turned gray, and judging by her appearance alone, Zela's 'injury' may be more serious than hers.

There is also a problem with both feet, it would be better if it could be treated together!

"Hmm...... It's the guy next to you, right? The old body knows ......"

"Please be careful."

Probably because of his age, the magic test just now had made the old man look a little tired, so he had to slowly move off with the support of Volod.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that as soon as he walked to the edge of the bed, the old grandmother's 'patient' opened his mouth to refuse.

“...... Thank you, but I don't need to. ”

The tone is very firm, not to shirk, but more like to convey to them a certain result.

"What the hell are you talking about?! Now is not the time to be willful! ”

"Yes! Zela, you ......"

"This ......"

The few took Yuri's side, and Maebius and the others spoke one by one to persuade her, hoping that the girl would change her mind.

It's a pity that in the end, it was still the girl's gentle shaking of her head.

There could be no one in this world who knows better why she became like this.

It's not that you can't check, but you can't.

If you ask this old woman to help detect the changes in her magic power, I am afraid that she will be eroded by a huge amount of negative emotions in an instant, and whether she can maintain consciousness is still two words.

And now, add an unknown curse that doesn't know if it exists.

Therefore, no matter what his companions said, even Mebis, who used the tear attack, did not shake Zela and refused to back down.

"Alas......"

The 'patient' did not cooperate, so the old woman sighed in embarrassment, and finally had to observe from the side for a while, and gave some advice based on her many years of medical experience.

“…… This child's words should be a symptom of mana overdraft, as long as you have a good rest, don't use magic for a short time, and when the magic power is replenished, the hair color will slowly recover...... Really, children nowadays don't care about themselves so much......"

At first glance, the problem with Zela's appearance was also caused by Hu Lai, and at the end, the old woman also knocked on the crutches twice with regret.

“…… As for the other problems, the old body can't see it for the time being, if there are no other patients, you can send two people to follow the old body to record some medicinal materials and make some preparations, and then hand them over to them on time. ”

"Ahh Good! ”

"Hmm."

The old woman who had finished her treatment walked out of the room, and before leaving, Volod and Precht each gave them a well-healed look.

The last remaining blonde youth naturally continued to disturb them, and walked towards the door to close it.

“…… That's it, don't think about it so much, just get some rest. ”

For one moment, Yuri's words came through the crack in the door, and then he closed the door.

didn't let the two of them see his complicated expression and his back against the door.

(Why...... They're going to do that...... ）

……

************************************************************************************************************************

Three days passed quickly, and Zela and Mebis finally listened to the doctor this time and didn't run around.

Yuri also tells them about the city every day, and with everyone mobilized, it can be said that this place is changing a lot every day.

When it was dusk on the third day, they learned that the two of them had almost recovered, and the uncle of the blacksmith who had done a lot of work before came to visit the hotel where they had settled with a few townspeople very solemnly, and at the same time sent an invitation to the group.

After all, the celebration banquet lacks the protagonist, but there is no way to open it......

……

Cheers !!

In a makeshift open-air square, the atmosphere of the banquet has not stopped since it began.

Bumping glasses into each other, everyone laughing loudly, as if this is the only way to regain the life they once lost.

The night breeze blows across the tranquil lake, outlining two small figures.

Compared to the three young people who had already immersed themselves in this festive atmosphere, this place was indeed more suitable for them.

“…… Sure enough, if you look at it from here, it's different from on Sirius Island. ”

Lying on his back on the grass and stretching out his left hand, Mebis sighed softly.

"What is it?"

The girl who looked at the side of her face slightly, and her hair color had returned to its original shape, whispered.

"This starry sky!"

The corners of his mouth are raised, and the colors depicted in his eyes reflecting the night are the colors of anticipation for the future.

"Really......"

"Na Zela, did you say that there would be fairies, and now they are looking at the same scenery as us."

Pressing her long hair blown up by the wind, the feather-eared girl who sat up smiled sweetly.

"Who knows......"

"But I think you'll find the answer to that question someday."

“…… Someday...... Is it? ”

Repeating Zela's words, Mebis still seems to understand something.

But it doesn't matter, because she's not alone.

"Then Zela must be by my side at that time, right?"

"Well...... this"

“……？”

When the feather-eared girl became inexplicably nervous, Zela, who also got up, nodded her forehead.

"I've already answered you."

"Alright, it's time to go back!"

"Ahh

Mebis, who didn't get a 'want to answer', had a coquettish and prolonged tone, chasing the brown-haired girl back in a wheelchair and moving away.

The surface of the lake is dotted with starlight, shortening the distance between the two.

It seems like going back to seven years ago.
