The crime scene can only be described as tragic.

When Fried arrived at the scene, the battle was over. There were more than a dozen staff members standing in the scarred park, some of whom were using detection instruments to detect traces of the ground due to burning, while others walked into the woods that had been burned to ashes, as if they were looking for something...

Among them, two staff members squatted next to a corpse. After seeing Fried, the two staff members quickly moved to the military force of their superiors. After squatting down, Fried focused his attention on the corpse in front of them.

"Tsk, it's really heavy."

The place where the right hand should have existed is now empty, and it seems to be burned from the wound. In addition, the neck also has the same signs of burning.

I guess I will blow my arm first to make it lose its ability to resist. The fatal blow is the blow on the head. After all, if the entire head is gone compared to the broken arm, it basically means the end.

"Where is this guy's hands and head?"

“Not found yet.”

Just look at the woods that have now turned into ashes, and it is easy to make such a judgment. But I didn't expect that the guy who had just escaped during the escort would now see it here, and it was such a result of a dead bodyless body.

"In addition, Captain, there is another strange thing to report."

"Um?"

The man who had just been promoted to the captain level because of his merits looked at his subordinates.

"I don't know why. No fluctuations in wing energy were detected at the scene. Although I once suspected that there was something wrong with the instrument..."

"Ah. I don't need to go into this."

"Ha?"

"In addition, this matter has been listed as Nika's second-level secret. If notified later, the leak of relevant information is prohibited."

"Uh, no!"

The subordinates opened their eyes wide in surprise, but soon realized their incompetence. After saluting military salute, saying "Abide by the order!", they left and conveyed the order.

(It's really exaggerating. However, even such warriors who are still unable to figure out their strength need to be used. In other words, has the city already endangered this level?)

No more look at the incomplete body. The muscular man stood up and took out the communicator while walking towards the exit of the park.

………………………………………

After finally recovering from consciousness, Yat found himself lying on the bed.

The originally blood-stained clothes had been replaced during coma, and you could feel that several layers of bandages were tied to the wound. But to his surprise, the wound was not as bad as expected. It seemed that he had received treatment during coma.

Although reason tells itself that this is reality, it never feels real.

I remember that I was defeated and fell into a pool of blood. Then the Sakura-haired girl who had just met stood up to protect him and Theresa, and then...

At this moment, a trace of movement came into the boy's ears.

The sound came from the bedside. The girl who made the sound was lying on the hospital bed at this time. It seemed that she hadn't had a good sleep last night. Looking at her sister's sleeping pretty face, Yat couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then lay back on the hospital bed.

Looking around, it seemed that there was a single ward. There was also a chair on the other side of the bed, but there was no one sitting on the chair now, so I should have left temporarily.

The scenes at that time have now been recalled.

The murderer who easily forced himself into a desperate situation was killed at that moment, so simple that it was as if he was killing an ant. The blue flame made him feel a strong sense of oppression. Although Roland also had magic like "Red Lotus", it was completely incomparable to the one I saw yesterday.

The levels are completely different. This is Yat's real feeling at that time.

Although I don’t know the specific price, the orphanage with tight funds should not be able to afford the expensive hospitalization fees for staying in a single ward.

Sure enough, it still doesn't work.

Even if he tried his best to practice, he was simply a weak man now that he could not use magic and could only rely on physical skills.

"Yat?"

After the door opened, the girl's voice sounded. Yat looked at the door and found that the girl was looking at her.

Maybe it was because I didn't have a good rest. The girl was very depressed first. However, this feeling quickly faded after seeing Yat wake up. Then she took steps subconsciously, and her walking turned into running again, and continued to accelerate.

Before the boy lying on the bed had time to comfort him, the girl had already pounced on him.

“Wow wow—!”

"Uh, stop crying, look, haven't I woken up?"

Assisting the pain from the wound from the hug, Yat said with a smile. Of course, the sister sleeping by the bed woke up because of the commotion. After seeing her brother wake up, she also rushed over and hugged her brother lying on the hospital bed.

Hug with all your strength, as if he was afraid that he would disappear if he let go.

"Idiot, why did Yat, this big idiot, just rushed over like that? It's obviously not strong at all, don't show off and run away soon?"

The words were filled with anger, but the anger was not directed at Yat.

Accompanied by anger, there is self-blame.

Deep self-blame.

"Why do you always have to do so random things? It's obviously just a mere Atte, but you're so self-righteous! What should you do if Brother Yue didn't arrive in the end? Are you planning to die like this?"

Theresa suddenly stopped, her small shoulders trembling, biting her lip, and her body remained motionless.

Only tears kept falling, wetting Yat's top.

Maybe I really scared her.

Even though he was so weak, he still wanted to stand in front of her, but he was simply defeated. So now, now, when he was lying on the hospital bed, what words could he use to comfort her?

So, Yat didn't know what to say.

"Yat?"

"Anyway, can you let go of me first?"

"Wow! Yes... I'm sorry!"

If I hug it, the wound would probably be cracked. So Theresa and May quickly let go of their hands and let Yat get out of the situation of hugging left and right.

Fortunately, you can still feel pain in the wound. I remember that the teacher once said that in this case, the wounds are different, but the injury seems to be more serious, but now it seems that the situation is not the case.

Although I don’t know the specific treatment method, the wound under the bandage that was originally deep and visible to the bone was indeed healing quickly. From this point of view, I guess I will be able to get out of bed and move in another day or two.

"By the way, Theresa, how is it going after that?"

“…”

"Tilisa?"

A feeling of uneasiness surged in my heart.

"After Yat fainted, the army arrived. Yat was arranged to enter this hospital..."

"Then Brother Yue..."

Even though he had already imagined what happened later, Yat asked in a low voice.

“…taken away by the army.”

This is also a natural result.

There was such a commotion inside the city, and it was impossible to leave the market in a low-key manner. And from another perspective, if the army had not arrived at that time, then he would probably have died like this.

Perhaps he can survive until now, and he still has to thank the army for his intervention.

Even so.

But he didn't want to accept this result just like this, because it was his intervention that the current not bad result was.

"No...it won't be a problem. Didn't the adults in the army want to invite Brother Yue to join? So...so..."

Although even Theresa herself was not confident that she said these words, it really made sense.

It must be handled like a normal murder case.

Because I want to win over Brother Yue, I don’t have to worry about being sentenced to death.

But as the price of life-

As if it was a good time, Yat heard the footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door. Although he didn't know the specific time, the surroundings seemed very quiet. Therefore, the sound of footsteps gradually approaching was particularly obvious.

Then, the door was opened.

Standing there was a cherry-haired girl holding a basket.

"That, I brought lunch here."

The girl known as Haruka walked into the ward and said to the three people staying in the ward with a smile.

“…”

His face couldn't help but turn red.

There should be other words to say now, but there is no way to form a good word. I always feel that the angelic smile had already dispersed these before I said it.

Unaware of Yat's unusualness at all, Yao closed the door after putting down the basket. Instead, Theresa, who was sitting next to her, muttering, "Idiot, Idiot..." while showing an angry expression.

"Yes? Why did you suddenly talk about this?"

Yat showed an unexpected expression, and thought of what Theresa said to herself before.

Although the two of them are not dating, it is precisely because they are not dating...
