Something like light purple steam rises from Hartsang's body after he lost his head.

(I can feel Mel's magical power from this guy. So this is the soul of Mel that Harzun was talking about.)

Apparently, it seemed to be a property similar to magic power, and it didn't seem to be that difficult to handle if Virum was skilled in handling magic power.

'Fusion release (fusion out). Huu, I know you're tired, but stick with me for a while longer.

"Hmph. Hu is fine. Come on, help Mel.

Nodding vigorously at Fu's words, Virum begins to gather them into one hand, not wanting to let the shimmering soul that is about to fizzle out.

''Master! Is Mel-chan safe?!

Mr. Wilm! Is your sister Mel safe?!

"Meru! I'm here to help!

Then, the ones who entered with great vigor were Kounaria, Oma, and Heishela.

They seem to have been caught in a trap in the ruins, and their clothes are torn in places and their injuries are noticeable in some places.

The two of them found Meldina lying on the altar and went to run to her, but before they could do so, Fumir stood in front of them and shook his head.

''Not now. Brother Vee, let me take care of it.''

When the girls heard from Fumir about what happened here, they turned blue when they learned that Meldina was on the brink of death.

'Oh no... Mel...? Oh, Master! Mel would be a great help! You're not going to die, are you?!

Calm down, Sister Koo! You mustn't interfere with Mr. Wyrm!

Oma stops Cunaria, who was trying to hang on to Wyrm, just in time to stop him.

'Let go, Oma-kun! It's Mel! Mel-chan!

'Ugh! If you interrupt Mr. Wyrm, that could kill my sister Mel! That's not good enough for you!

Coonaria seems to be invoking physical enhancement and tries to shake off Oma, but she stops moving with a snap, as if she heard his words.

As it is, large tears have collected in the corners of Coonaria's eyes as she slumped helplessly.

''Hmm~? It's so loud. People were sleeping comfortably........what's wrong with everyone? You look so gloomy.

In the gloomy atmosphere, the effect of the incense finally wore off, and Miselio woke up with an out-of-place voice.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.

It's not possible! No matter how many times I'm going to fall for a joke like that, I'm not going to fall for it~!

As it was, Miserio moved close to Meldina's face and pecked at her forehead while laughing.

''But it's not terrible~? I can't believe you got together with Mel to make fun of me.

However, her face, which tilted her head at Meldina's lack of response, gradually turned pale as she swallowed the situation.

''Lies... Just kidding, what is it? Hey, Mel! Say something! Say something!'

Fumil restrains the half-mad Miserio, but he flails about, trying to get out of it.

''Mio, calm down. If you interrupt brother Vee now, Mel will really die.''

"But! But...

Miselio's face was already mangled with tears.

Coonaria was originally looking up at the ceiling while plumping and trembling, as if Oma was also desperately trying to hold back her tears.

''... Okay, we've gathered.''

The atmosphere is like a wake, and everyone looks up in response to Vilm's words.

Kneeling on one knee by Meldina's side, Virum carefully pours out the shimmering of the collected souls, little by little, with great care so that not even the slightest bit of it spills out.

'Mel! Please! Wake up!

"Mel! If you leave me to die, I'll never forgive you!''

'Sister Mel! Please, please open your eyes!

"Meru, you can't die. Will you be sad when Mel dies, High Sierra?

"Mel, don't leave. Come back here, now.

Each of them called out to Meldina, but there was no response.

As time passed, his frustration grew, and the worst of it went through his mind.

Then, just as the last drop poured from his own hand, he called out as he shouted.

'Mel, come back! I need you!

The corners of Meldina's eyes twitched at Virm's cry with her thoughts on them.

The expression of Vilm and the others' expressions changed with her reaction, and they ran out their voices in unison, not wanting to miss this opportunity.

At the earliest moment, when I couldn't understand who was saying what, Meldina's eyes slowly open.

Meldina, who turned her eyes to Vilm and the others who were shouting with joy ━━.

'Oh... I didn't expect this to happen when I got up. Eh, what? Since when did my room become a meeting place?

She got up, scratching her head and belly in a raggedy way, and sat down on her knees and gave a lazy lack of a sluggish look that was roughly unlike her.

"...who are you?

"Oh, of course I'll notice. I have a totally different personality from her.

Meldina(?) doesn't show the slightest reaction to the murderous atmosphere emitted by Wyrm, but rather bursts out laughing as if teasing him.

"Hey! Who the hell are you? Where did Mel go!'

'Yes, that's right! That body is Mel's, so please give it back to her!

The reactions of the two of Meldina's best friends are especially pronounced, and even Cunaria is polite in her words, but she has her hand on the big axe.

''Both Kounaria-chan and Miselio-chan are not that excited. Your pretty face is ruined~? Besides, we can't wake up Meldina-chan just yet. This one has put a bit of a strain on my soul.''

Meldina(?) stroked Cunaria and Miselio's heads as if she were petting a small child. gave a snap and a wink.

'Could it be that you are an Elder Elf?

"Sei-Ka-Oh! That's what I'm talking about, Fu-mil. I knew you were a pretty girl with a good eye for detail! My name is Arche. I am the Elder Elf who slept in these ruins.

Arshé, who seemed to be a self-proclaimed Elder Elf, happily patted Fumir's head, and introduced himself with a big smile.

''Now, get out of Meldina's body.

It's Vilm's voice, which, although the killing spirit has disappeared, does not try to hide its discomfort on her face.

It must be unbearable for Arche, who doesn't look like Meldina, to be taking over her body.

''Oh, are you sure? If I leave now, she'll die. As I said before, Meldina's soul is in a damaged state. If I don't hold it together now, Meldina's soul will disappear in the not too distant future.''

After thinking that her story was not zero as a possibility, Virum couldn't interrupt her any further.

''To be frank, Atachi and Meldina-chan's souls are completely mixed together, so it's impossible to pull them apart now~''

It's not only Virum who was irritated by Arche, who changed from a serious expression and started laughing again with a clattering laugh.

In the midst of such a gaze, her courage to continue laughing without a care in the world may be quite impressive.

It's a good thing that you're able to get the best out of it. It's a good idea to have a little talk about the future. Right?

When he finished laughing, Arche had had enough, he put his index finger to his mouth and winked again.
