　Roughly 50 km from Rusalka in the outer world.
　In the vicinity of the cave where the two men had lain as a base of operations, a new base of operations had been hastily constructed with the help of various countries. In a sense, it has the appearance of a fortress. Fortunately, it's not that far from [Banaris], which is the place to recapture the new territory in Alpha.
　For that reason, we have procured corner wood and other materials locally and put up a reinforced iron fence that can be activated remotely over a wide area.

　The bunker is dug so deep that it would be impossible to crawl into it quickly, and if you go beyond it, you will be confronted by a strong wall that is still under construction.

　It was being built around the cave that Arus and Loki had used as a temporary shelter.
　Thousands of engineers were involved in this, and even more mages were mobilized for it.

　Transitional gates (circle ports) were set up at various locations from Rusalka, the closest at a direct distance, and security in the vicinity was also well prepared. The reason why the transition gates were set up for the movement of goods and people was because each country had defeated the demons in the vicinity of Alpha and Rusalka on a large scale.

　About a week ago, a huge bell brought out by Alpha was erected as the key to building a full-fledged base. The effects of the trial have been confirmed. The pseudo-protective wall brought out of the industrial city of 【Fallen】, commonly known as the 【Second Babel】, has been confirmed to be effective on a trial basis.
　The researchers involved in this, as well as many experts, visited the outside world, which was an unusual situation.



　And it was about two months after Nexolis' two-day healing spell passed.

　The boy still hadn't woken up in the mansion built directly above the cave, giving him nothing but daily worries about his surroundings.
　A room that wasn't that large was for healing. No, if it had been operating for this long already and not being effective, then it would need to be reviewed once again now. But I didn't think anything else could be done about it.

　The walls of the room, which was too modest for the interior, were made differently in this room than the rest of the interior.
　A string of geometric letters ran in all directions, never letting the faint light cease for a second. This was very weak, not so much for healing, but to regulate the flow of others' magic power.

　It was designed by Nexolis to rest the post-operative process.


　The house that was built as a hurry-up is devoid of any kind of furnishings and has only a tasteless interior, but that is the result of pursuing sturdiness as it is the outside world.
　Of course, if it was preventable with this level of protection, no one would gather in the corner of the world as if they were frightened.

　Even the grain of such a bare indoor corridor, the young grass-colored hair bouncing over her back and tied in a single strand at the side, swayed in a restless tone.
　The hem of her white coat dominated and the girl walked with a few high quality towels that should not be seen in the outside world, who had prepared them.

　However, her gait is restless, as if she is even pressed for time.


　It's almost before noon, and the reason I'm running short is because this girl - Flynn - is in charge of caring for her patients.
　Twice a day she has to wipe herself down and work on her muscles to keep them from wasting away in their sleep.
　I have another hour or so to spare, but I can't afford to do that today. Flynn opened the door manually without knocking, and his mouth was agape as if he had been stripped.

'Loki-san!　Could you not take my work yesterday and the day before yesterday for goodness sake!

　With a twitching smile, Flynn put anger on his words. It was a bypass for her.
　Fast forward two months after that fierce healing ceremony... Since then, Flynn had wiped Ars's body twice daily to work on his muscles.

　But just a few days ago, he noticed it. Suddenly, there was no trace of sweat on his body. Since he wiped it every day, he had noticed it too late, as there was no noticeable stain on it.
　The point was that the silver-haired girl in front of him had wiped Ars's body before Flynn had visited his room for his rounds.

　And even now, Loki was removing Ars's jacket and placing a wrung out towel on his chest as he let him sunbathe in the sun.

'This is my job, so I think it would be better for you to be diligent afterwards, Flynn-san.

　He wiped his body so that he didn't scrub hard while he was saying such things quietly. However, he seemed to have finished wiping the upper half of his body and his hands stagnated around his stomach.

　Seeing this, Flynn stretched out his nose and stretched his chest as if he was proud of his victory, "Haha~".

''Apparently, it's my job after that. I don't call myself a healing mage for Datei, and besides, Loki-san will have to go for a regular checkup. Grandma said to come early.
'That's it. From here on out, I will not recognize anyone but me!

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　Flynn is proud of his victory and holds up his cause. With a familiar motion, he dips the towel into the hot water and wrings it out. If it were true, a steaming towel would be better, but today we were out of towels and weren't ready for it.

"I've been instructed to nurse you until you're fully recovered, so if you're not very good at it, please leave it all to me.

　As expected, Loki also knew the line that could not be crossed even if he were to nurse the sleeping Ars. Now that we are out of life-threatening danger, reason barely works.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea.

The first thing you can do is to say that....

　This was an opportunity to let her study for tomorrow, wondering how she usually wiped Ars's body and if there was any shame in it.

'You should have done that all along. It's twice as bad as taking care of yourself.'

　He sniffs out something somewhat like a healing mage and interrupts Loki, who shifts a step in front of him.
　When Loki peeked out of Flynn's back.

'Um, are you watching?'
'Foolish question, where is the guarantee that you won't commit insolence?

　Loki said vexingly plausible words, but Flynn couldn't help but be displeased by this.

It's just that this is a medical procedure. That kind of idea of yours is evil!
So, are you going to do it?
'Of course!　What in the world do you call me...

　But then I turned around and pondered this way. It is true that Flynn has been wiping Ars's body until today.
　But the act of wiping a man's body itself is a first for him. No, to be precise, he is proud of the fact that he has wiped the body countless times if he is an older person.

　But there is no flabby belly to be seen, which should be familiar, and it's a different thing in the sense of a well-trained and toned body. If you wipe your belly, you can feel it undulating through the towel.
　Whatever it was, Flynn had been groping and wiping it until today.

　But now that he'd made a grand gesture against Loki, he wouldn't be allowed to cut corners. That means you have to wipe it with a firm eye.

　I almost cower at the sight of the quilt lowered to my lower abdomen. The pounding of my heart seems to frustrate my readiness to venture into unknown territory.
　I should have a wealth of instructional books and knowledge about such things. What should I be afraid of now?
　An inspiring word is spat out of his mouth without a thought.

''A healing magician is one who knows the human body inside and out, there is nothing for me to fear!　

　Convinced by one, Flynn awkwardly tucked the cold towel into the comforter without peeling off the quilt.

　The disappointment in his actions was deep. In a way, Loki spat out words that bordered on contempt, mercilessly. He owed her an ungrateful debt of gratitude for saving Ars's life.
　However, after the gratitude he had so earnestly expressed, although they had broken the ice like this, it was still different from this and that.

''It seems that Flynn-san had a heavy burden to bear as well. Let's just call it a draw this time.
''No, I'm a healing magician, so my position is not in the same position as Loki-san...''
But since Mr. Flynn missed his last chance, I'll take it from here on out for now.
'Uhhhh... ha!　Da, no.

　A voice sounded like an elder to break up the argument going on in front of the noisy and sick man. It was as if he was taunting a child, while his voice sounded more childlike than anyone else in the place.

'I'm so utterly May-ish I can't even take a nap.
..........
..........

　Behind a white impulse, a petite girl sits in a chair and opens one eye.
　With her short legs crossed, she seems to be acting like an adult, which makes me smile. However, considering her actual age, there is nothing odd about her. I'm not going to be able to get rid of the silhouette loveliness of the figure.

'Ilyce-san, why are you here? I've noticed it, but I didn't dare to touch it...''

　Loki is not pleased with her entry. The reason is because if you look around Ars, the shadow of a woman is never ending. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on inside of you.


　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

　Although there is such a body of work if you put a pretty face to it, the information that Ilyce has in her possession was a painful one for the countries.
　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you want to do. It was also the case that it was impossible to proceed with the conversation without Ars happening.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's not that I'm not a fan of it.
　I'm not going to be the only one who can do it.


　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it. The conditions of Ilyce's sphere of activity also included a requirement that Loki should accompany him. In short, she was treated well as long as she was not left alone.
　That's why this place is the perfect place for her to relax when Loki visits every day.
