　Zoe's reappearance was not a reaction that Sam or anyone else present was able to react to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When she came to, she was there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no better explanation.

　But Sam, for the second time, as well as Ur, Günther, Jonathan, and Catherine, who are all experienced wizards even if they are not as strong as they should be, were not too surprised.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was partly because they knew in advance that the Demon Kings had visited.

　However, the women reacted differently.

　Hanae and Mizuki held their fists and swords to protect Liese, Alicia, and Grace.

　They look tense, as if they might jump at the slightest noise.

"Oh, my sweet girl! Where did you come from?"

　Catherine, who had the most time to spare, asked Zoey a question while Kaoruko kept behind her.

　Zoe, who looked cool, moved her eyes up and down Katherine's figure, then turned her head to Sam, looking puzzled and slightly frightened.

"...... What is this creature?　Is this a new species of ogre?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I don't need you to tell me that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it is. It's a small thing, or I'm not mature enough to be upset by something like this. More importantly, human child, I believe your name is ...... Samuel Scheidt."

"Yeah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am not going to ask why you are here, or anything else for that matter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I showed up because I had something to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it's about Ur.

　Sam keeps quiet and waits for Zoe to speak.

"I know you want to prolong the woman's life as much as possible, but revival magic is counterproductive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A painful silence fell over Zoe's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No wonder. Everyone had held out some hope for Ur.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, to be told that the revival magic we had hoped for was not only meaningless but counterproductive, we were at a loss for words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only Ur is unconcerned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then what should I do?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't doubt the words of Zoe, who went to the trouble of coming here to give me advice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam asked for help.

"--cleansing."

"Purification?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You know what I'm talking about when I say sacred magic?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Sam remembers correctly, there are very few people who can use sacred magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although it is called "magic," it is more like a skill that can only be mastered by heroes, saints, or high-ranking priests who have trained for many years.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Needless to say, Sam cannot use it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The woman is a contradiction in terms: she is as good as dead but alive due to her atrocious incantation. If you cast a revival spell on her, the effect would be the opposite.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But where can someone use sacred magic?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--Yes, I can!

　Kaoruko raised her hand and shouted loudly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All eyes were on her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I can do purification.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh. Come to think of it, I've heard there are saints among humans, and you're one of them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... is, yes. I am Kaoruko Kirishima. I have been called to this world as a saint, though I am still a novice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kaoruko Kirishima, I'll remember that. But be careful. There are various kinds of purification. Above all, even if the purification is successful, it doesn't always end the way you want.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All eyes are on Zoe again, and Katherine asks on her behalf.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If the purification is successful, there are two possible outcomes. One is to become human again and live a short life. This would be the best outcome for you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's the other one?

The dead are at peace now that they have been purified. In other words, they will die a second time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess it's a gamble.

"It is beyond comprehension that the woman would have come back to life with such an imperfect incarnation, even with a time limit. It is a miracle in its present state. To deal with that miracle, we need to do something equally miraculous.

　Without the people of Najaria, we do not know by what means Ur was revived.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, Sam and the others have no choice but to take Zoe's advice and bet on Kaoruko's purification.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All of them except Ur cannot hide their agitation at the fact that there is a big difference between success and failure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Zoe coolly told Sam and the others that they had no choice but to take a chance on Kaoruko's purification.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're going to die anyway even if you leave me alone. No matter how much you worry about it, there is nothing you can do about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Even the ...... Demon King can't do it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Impossible. First of all, as long as we don't know how he was revived, we can deal with him no differently than you can. It would be different if she had more time, but she doesn't have much time left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Zoe clearly stated that Ur's remaining time, which she had thought would not be long, was "short.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess that's what she meant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why are you advising us?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What bothered Sam was that Zoe, who had been so hostile, had gone out of her way to come back and give advice for them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I understand that there is no malicious intent, but I wanted to know the reason for the action.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Lord Douglas has been merciful. You should be grateful."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Yeah. Tell Douglas thank you. I'll thank you myself next time I see you, but please do."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't want to be your errand boy, but fine. I'll let Mr. Douglas know."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By then, Zoey had left the conversation with Sam to her own devices, and she leaned her back against the wall and closed her eyes, as if to say, "The rest is up to you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No further advice was offered, and it was up to Sam and his friends to decide what to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sam, I--"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ur's answer must have been obvious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is grateful that she is miraculously alive again, and she thinks it is enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She probably means that she does not need to do anything for herself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But..,

"Ur, I don't mind taking a gamble. Please, let me try."

　It was Jonathan, Ur's father, who wished for this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... father."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I know you're ready. But as a parent, I would cling to you if I could make you live a little longer."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And Jonathan is not the only one who wants Ur to live.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His mother, Grace, his sisters, Lise and the others, his colleagues and friends, Günther and Katherine, and Sam, who respects Ur's wishes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm very lucky to be thought of this way."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Everyone wants Ur to live. Ur cowered his shoulders in annoyance at this wish, but he relented and changed his mind.
