The old woman slowly took the lead as the girl held her hand along.

　Haorg had summoned Nexolis as insurance in case of an emergency. It was already too late for that, though.

　Nexolis narrowed his eyes and quietly turned to all of them with a hint of contempt in them.

''You're too old to know what you're talking about, trying to get an old lady to replace your diapers.

　Haorg turned his huge body towards Nexolis and snapped his hips. 'No face,' the head of a nation bowed his head.
　In addition to that, all of them were unable to speak back as they snorted.

　Letting out a grand sigh, Nexolis let go of the girl's hand and walked alone to Loki.
　His steps are not fast. But somehow it seemed to slow down the tense air time.


'It's a terrible thing to have a life I saved dissipate so quickly.

　Such gentle words were issued to squeeze out the frustration from the back of my throat.
　It's as if this distance transforms it into something so sacred that no one can violate it.

　Loki fished his corner of the eye socket into the corner of his eye and glared as Nexolis approached. As if there were nothing more to say to each other.

　Loki no longer has the luxury of laboring over an old woman who is trying to get into the place with just two people.

　Even seeing her, Nexolis is not intimidated. She has not lived long enough to be Italian. But that's why she is inexplicably hanging on to the edge of grief.
　So, with a soft face that naturally overflows with meekness, Nexolis told her as if she realized everything.

No one is going to stop you," he said. It's just that I can't bear to leave the little guy alone at the end. At least my arm it's not too late to do it afterwards.

　Smiling softly, the old woman looked down at Ars as she declined to do so to Loki.

''..........''

　However, when Nexolis sees Ars, her eyes narrow in a serious manner. This is an unnatural feeling because she is experienced as a healing magician.
　Because she had nursed him in front of her many times without being able to save him, she didn't miss the slightest sign of it.

　--It's funny. From the looks of it, the boy has been dead for less than an hour. If that's the case, with a total amount of magic power like this boy's, it's likely that magic power would have leaked out from the missing parts. And the body is also strange. The body temperature is probably lowered, so why is it in such good shape...

　Nexolis lifted his arm faster than he could think. It was an instruction based on years of intuition.
　The healing mages she had brought with her became strangely noisy behind her.

　Seeing this, Loki turned his complete hostility to the old woman this time.

''........!

　But as if that kind of gaze is a hindrance, Nexolis thrusts out the arm she lifted to focus her attention on the bottom of her thoughts and reduce Loki's bluster.

　--It's too unnatural. It's only that something magical is at work........

　Is it really possible to do that to a dead thing? If someone did this, it's not possible for them to do so inside a body filled with magical information.
　If that was the case, then we should be able to see rejection and more blatant death.

　Even if you look back and look at the places he is said to have passed through, the unnaturalness still stands out. How much blood flowed from the still remaining traces of blood, for example.
　Of course, the blood in his body would still flow out of his body after he died, but it seemed that he would barely have crossed the amount of blood that would be considered lethal in his case.

　We don't know what caused it, just........
　Suddenly, Nexolis touched the top of Ars's heart.

''Something's not right........''

　Loki could only watch what the old woman was doing as if she had been left behind. Or rather, he couldn't understand what she was saying.
　Instead of interfering she was not interfering...on the contrary, she seemed to be trying to overturn the consequences of seeing Ars...up close and personal with death, and overturning the irreversible consequences.

　It seemed like he was blaspheming. He didn't want to hurt Ars any more.

　But faster than Loki could shake off the old woman's withered, branch-like arms, Nexolis could find them. He could feel it, to be precise.
　The hand went up, not down from the heart, but up. It ran down Ars's cheek, and then.....

'This one....'

　Loki's gaze was also absorbed by Nexolis, who forced open his closed eyelids. Although he didn't even want to look at the open pupils.

''.........!

　There, a black haze hung over the eyeballs, floating like the night sky.
　Above all..........

''Well, magic formula!

　Reflexively, Loki spat out a mouthful of that, but the formula was something he had never seen before. Of course, even if I followed it with my eyes as well as Nexolis, I could only see that it doesn't apply to the existing [lost letter (lost spelling)], let alone decipher it.
　But what I can say with certainty is.

''You're in suspended animation!　But.....

　I have presented the possibility of a temporary death, but I doubt if she is still alive. In fact, even with her vast experience and knowledge, there has never been a case like this before.

　But of course Loki, who was listening in on the situation, would not miss it.

'What do you mean?　Al is, Al is.....
It's still possible.

　As soon as he finished, Nexolis shouted loudly, not befitting his age.

'Hola, I'll help you. Don't be a bossa. Sterile chamber, we're going to cover it with a healing technique.'

　Only those with experience in healing responded immediately to the voice, and even then, a beat later, they all began to move in a hurry.

'This place shouldn't be dusty, should it?

　With that, once again, Nexolis looked at Loki and placed her own wrinkled hand on top of his injured one.

　A different kind of tears were beginning to run down her cheeks, as if they were about to break down at any moment.
　Loki's face immediately broke into large tears as he tried to hold back, desperately pleading with her.

'Please help me, please help Al, please help me... please...'

　The girl who asks again and again for help, Nexolis is determined to take on this ordeal with no certainty and force the outcome of saving her to come to fruition. What the hell, a healing mage's essence is only meaningful if he or she saves people.
　That would have saved many lives, even the saints are no exception. Even if you save countless lives, forsaking the lives in front of you is tantamount to spitting on what you've accumulated as a healing magician.

　The proof that his honed skills and knowledge were not just self-satisfied would only shine through when he saved even one more life.

　Loki's face was transformed and consisted solely of the desire to save.
　'Then that's why.

''Fine. You save a life once, you save it twice. So don't worry....

　Even his own condition is in jeopardy, but a neglectful plea will only shorten his life span. Immediately after placing his hand lightly on the head of the silver-haired girl, Loki gradually softened the light in her eyes.
　Then the eyelids naturally closed.

'Next time you wake up, we'll end everything in the best way possible Flynn, it's going to be a big job. It's going to be an impromptu job, and it won't be because you can't.

　The girl called Flynn by the saint was by her side before she knew it, supporting Loki, who had lost his ability to support her.

'I know, Grandma. Let's get started right away.
