Mr. Richt, are you okay?

"...... Faith. I'm fine, don't worry about me.

You don't look all right to me. ...... There's a pile of blankets.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.
You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.

He couldn't ignore Faith's concern, so he just waited in silence for the time to pass.

"Call me whenever you feel like it. I'm sure she'll be here soon.

Thanks for the help, .......

It seems that the Demon Lord is looking for a solution, so we just have to be patient.

The reassuring words reached Richt's ears.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll help.

He felt as if he had caught a glimpse of Aria's kindness, which she did not usually show.

"Well, if you don't mind, I'd like you to use this.

"...... What is this?

It's a potion I made myself. I used only the best ingredients, so I'm sure it will work for you too.

"......

There are three large dumplings in the bag that Faith presented to me.

The color looks like moss growing on soil.
It's not a size that can be eaten in one bite, and now that my appetite is gone, all I can do is look at them.

"Oh, thank you.

You're welcome. You're welcome. I made this with all my heart, so that Richter-san will get well soon.

"I see. ......

Faith looks at Richt with sparkling eyes.

I'm not sure what she's thinking, but for now, even Richt can understand her.
Apparently, she wants to see Richt eat her special dumplings.

I'm not sure if this is a problem for you ......?

"No, no, not at all. It's just that right now I'm a little--

I'm sorry. ...... I'm throwing this away.

All right, all right. I'll eat it now.

Seeing the disappointed look on Faith's face, Richt took the dumpling out of the bag.
After all, no matter how many times you see it, the impression remains the same.

It's impossible to escape now that you've said you'll eat it.
With a gulp, Richt made up his mind.

"Ugh!

How is it?　Is it going to heal?　Richt-san.

The moment he put the dumpling in his mouth, a mysterious sour and sweet taste spread.
It's a taste I've never experienced in my life.

I don't know what to mix with it to create such a taste.
A strange sweat ran down Richt's cheek.

All he could say for sure was that his condition had worsened.

"Ugh.

Oh, it's .......

"Fe, Faith.

Licht said and collapsed unsteadily on the bed.
His body is not strong enough.
In fact, he feels as if he is gradually losing strength.

I'm not sure what to do.

After Faith's words, Richt's consciousness was abruptly cut off.
