For a moment, the surroundings were enveloped in a dazzling light. Irisal and I looked at each other.
Without looking at us, Alyria runs into the distance. We followed her.
We run up the stairs as fast as we can. The door to Soleil's room was open, and Matkal and the others were waiting nearby. When they notice us, they hurry away from the door.
"Soleil ......"
On the bed, there was Soleil, looking limp but certainly with her eyes open. Allyria is holding her hand firmly with both hands.
"Mommy...... Mommy......"
A small voice whispered to Soleil as Allyria opened her mouth. Soleil looks at her with kind eyes.
"Soleil...... thank God......"
I collapse into a heap right next to the bed. Then I put my hand on top of Alyria's. Soleil is smiling peacefully.
"She regained consciousness, but she is still exhausted.
May explains apologetically. It seems that Soleil woke up just a few minutes ago, but she is too weak to speak. We tried to give her water right away, but she could drink only a very small amount, and her condition is still too unpredictable. I suggested to him that I would cast a recovery spell, but he said that it would probably have no effect.
"I'm going to Agartha University now to get some nutritious food and medicine.
"No, wait a minute."
May was about to leave when Irizar stopped her. She looked at May and Soleil alternately and continued speaking.
"You will recover much faster if you go back to the village than if you take medicine.
Irizar answers confidently. She says that in the village of Silures, there is, after all, a chief. The forest spirits she contracts with are of the highest class, and she has known Siljus for a long time. She says that Soleil's health will be restored soon if she asks the Chief.
"If I use food or medicine, it will take more than a week to recover, right? Then you should definitely ask the chief for help!"
Irizar's chest heaves with pride. May looked at him and thought for a moment, but then nodded slowly and bowed her head.
I checked with Soleil to make sure, and she also nodded her head. I picked up Soleil in a princess-like hug.
"Mommy...... Mommy......"
Alyria follows me, looking as if she is about to cry. Irizar spoke softly to her with a wink.
"Don't worry. I'll be back in two days. Until then, be a good girl and wait for her.
Alyria nodded slowly. At that moment, Soleil muttered in a small voice.
"Alyria ......"
"Mommy!"
"Singing ....... It was very ...... good,......."
Alyria nodded repeatedly with a sincerely happy expression on her face.
"Mm. It was a good song. I felt it too.
For some reason, the Dragon King is crossing his arms and puffing out his chest like a big man. How long is he going to stay at home?
I wanted to tell him to get the hell out of here, but right now my first priority was to get Soleil back on her feet. Deciding to ignore the stupid dragon, I slowly walk down the stairs with Soleil in my arms. Mei and Irisal followed behind me. We go outside and activate the transfer wards.
The entrance to the village of Siljus was still closed by the forest. It seems that they have not noticed our arrival yet.
"Wait a minute!"
Irizar closes his eyes and mumbles something. Then flames engulfed her body.
"Okay, I'll take care of it. Hey, I just got home! Let me in!"
The salamander with whom Irizar has a contract appears and shouts loudly. Then the forest that covered the area in front of us slowly disappears, revealing the entrance to the village of Cyrus.
We entered the village while continuing such a conversation. Then, perhaps noticing our presence, a few of the Siljus came swooping down.
"Soleil-sama!"
The Psyllians have worried expressions on their faces. It's the middle of winter, but they are as thin as ever. The lines of their bodies are clearly visible.
"The chief is taking care of Master Seisam right now. You need not worry. We will make sure that Soleil will recover and show you.
As one of the Silures said this, Soleil's body floated up in a flurry. Then she disappeared into the depths of the village, surrounded by the four Siljus.
"You're safe now. I'll come back to report to you when Soleil is recovered.
"Okay. ....... I'll be sure to thank you for this. Thank you, Irizar.
I thanked him, but I was still worried about Soleil. Mei seems to be the same way, staring at the place where Soleil disappeared.
"Don't worry! Come on, Master Linos, you must be tired. Can't we just relax ...... at the mansion? But from now on, it's our job. Lady Mei, please get Mr. Llinos back to the house ....... Otherwise, the other Psylluses will try to seduce Master Rinos.
May smiles and bows her head. Then, she crossed her arms with me and opened her mouth as if to admonish me.
"Master ......, let's get out of here."
I nodded slowly.
I nodded slowly.
Back to the house again. He does not go to the dining room, but heads for the distance again. I am concerned about Rico's condition.
When I entered the room, Riko was sleeping peacefully. Chiwan and Roni are standing by his side and his son Idea is staring at his mother's face. Piatoris was sitting on a chair next to Idea and was dozing off.
"Chiwan, Roni, how is Rico?"
They looked at each other, and eventually Chi-wan slowly opened his mouth.
"He is just sleeping. However, considering that he has not eaten or drunk for nearly three days, we are not very optimistic.
"We have asked Mr. Rico to take some fluids, but they are inevitably small amounts since he is sleeping."
I hold Rico's hand as I listen to Chi-Wan and Roni's story. It is small but slightly warm. It is Rico's hand as usual. They are pure white, like a white fish's. They are beautiful. I hold her hand tight, wrapping both of my hands around it.
"Rico......Rico......"
I call out to him, but he does not respond. All I can hear is his peaceful breathing.
My family has gathered around, knowing I'm back. They have all gathered quietly so as not to disturb Rico. I was indescribably grateful for such a small act of kindness.
"Alyria, why don't you sing a song? Might this one wake up, too?"
The Dragon King is opening his mouth. This stupid dragon is still here. I glare at him, and he glares at me. Seriously, let's have a real fight once, shall we?
"Rhyu-o-kun, let's be quiet."
Alyria holds her index finger to her mouth. What a good girl. The Dragon King sees this and nods broadly.
"That's right. Be quiet."
......Why are you telling me this? I was a little annoyed, but now was not the time to deal with this stupid dragon. It's Rico. We have to wake Rico up first.
But Rico's behavior would not change anytime soon. I can see that everyone is getting impatient. I decide that this is not the way to go, so I send everyone back to their rooms. At that moment, my son Idea unexpectedly opens his mouth.
