A dry sound echoed in the hallway.
　Hearing the voice of "Come in" through the door, I took a breath and opened the door.
　Inside the bleak room, Celestia, who was still not feeling well, was sleeping, and beside her sat Neya with a calm expression on her face, as if she were talking to her.

　The only light that illuminates the room is the magical furnace that hangs from the ceiling, which is a bit dim.

The only light in the room was the magical furnace hanging from the ceiling, which was a little dim. "Master Walth, what is it? You don't look well.

No, not at all. It's just the light.

　Neya, who was sitting in the only chair, tried to stand up, but I stopped her with my hand.

I have something to tell you both.

"Is it bad news?

　I'm going to tell you something," Celestia said, looking at me in a clear manner.

No, not at all. ......

If that's the case, I'd like you to put on a more cheerful face.

　I don't mean to look so gloomy, but when you say it like that, I think I might have a thoughtful expression on my face. I forced the corners of my mouth to smile.

It's okay, it's business as usual. You must have something special to talk about if you're so obedient.

　The usual me would certainly not have responded like this.
　I'm sorry that I fell for the inducement to confirm this.

"Me and Pheuel will be leaving here tomorrow for a while. In the meantime, Neya will take care of Celestia's protection.

　Neya replied that she understood, but Celestia showed a look of disapproval on her face.

"You will tell me where we are going, right?

I'm going to a place called the Shinseikai.

"Shinseikai?　I don't know, but as long as it's not dangerous, it's fine.

I'm not sure, but if it's not too dangerous, then it's fine. ---- I don't know," I said, and Celestia's expression clouded over, her mood clearly deteriorating.

I don't know why you are going to a place that could be dangerous.　If you're going there because of me, I can't allow it.

　As soon as Celestia finished, the blood curse in my chest began to throb, and I could feel that she was serious.

I can't let Pheuel go into harm's way,......, and I can handle this on my own.

　Celestia turned her head away and toward the darkened window.
　I'm sure that if you try to convince her that you must go to help her, she will not shake her head.

　The thought that I would never be able to really go if I didn't do this led me to an answer in my mind. It was an answer that, if I told it to Celestia, would almost certainly send me away.

　If I said it, I could hurt her. ---- Or maybe I'm afraid that she'll think I'm an a**h*le.
　That's what keeps me from saying the words out of my mouth.

　---- But as if to push me back, Neya turned her strong eyes on me.
　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

"Master Walth.

　That's all she said, and clenched her fists in front of her chest.
　If you regret it, you can make up for it," he said to me.
　I nodded my head once and decided to tell him those words.

My life is connected to Celestia's through the blood curse. If Celestia dies like this, it means that I will die too. I'm not going to just sit here and wait for her to die.

...... I can't do anything but wait for her to die. ......

　Seretia just stared at the window and muttered in the weakest, most powerless voice I've ever heard.

---- "Yes, if this continues, we won't last much longer.

　I decided to continue my story in order to convince Celestia not to reply.

But I've heard that in the spirit world I'm going to, there's a spirit named Ainez who was the lifeblood of Ars Dittrand. If I can find Ainez, I can delay the symptoms of Celetia and keep me alive. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience with this. ---- If that doesn't happen, and I die, then both the Kingdom of Cassandra and the Kingdom of Ceoling will no longer have to fear the Kingdom of Eurecia, and the treaty can be revoked. That's right. It would mean the end of the Eurasian Kingdom as a small country.

　Celestia, who had been silent for a while, slowly turned to me.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I can't let this ruin Euresia for me either.

So you're sure you want to go?

Yes. ...... But you must bring Phiel back. That's an order.

Oh.

　Celestia closed her eyelids and began to sleep quietly.
　You'll be able to find a lot more information on this subject in this article.

I'll follow up with you, Walth-sama and Seretia-sama.

"...... What are you talking about?

No, it's nothing," Neyer said, smirking and covering her mouth with her hand.

You're a little clumsy yourself, aren't you, Master Walth?

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

...... I'll take care of the rest. And don't tell Benetnash about Celetia.

"Yes, sir. Please be careful, Master Walth.

　I heard the door close behind me and left.
