***

There was Enoch sleeping soundly in the sunlight.

Enoch had been badly wounded by a terrorist whom I had not been able to confirm the kill with, and had not been able to get up for several days.

shit.

So I returned to the western part of the Eastern Continent where the Mok-in was.

Because I haven’t found a better place to wake Enoch up quickly.

“Hey. You punk! Come out now! Come out quickly so I can look at your rust!!”

“Haa, it’s noisy. Why are you being so hasty when you’re already undergoing an examination? The treatment went well.”

“Shut up. Even though it looks like this on the outside, it’s a mess on the inside. You’re an expert, so fix it quickly!”

“Oh, wait a minute! It’s really distracting.”

The woodcutter checked Enoch’s body condition by attaching the glitters he had seen before to his body.

But I was frustrated because the results didn’t come out right away.

So I don’t know why the Moks have been checking for so long, when if I still had the goblin mask I would have known right away.

“Huh, huh?! This won’t do? Let’s try again. Again.”

But, it was Mok-in who suddenly and hurriedly checked again, wondering if the condition had worsened.

And the words that came out of his mouth were shocking.

“How do you still have the stigmata on your body? And it’s not the Tyrant’s, but a different constellation… …Hmm. The symbol of a broken statue. I guess I have a rough idea who you met to make you like this. But if you keep going like this, Enoch… might die.”

[Enoch is dying. What does that mean?]

Ss …

The plants around him were rotting and the trees were also considerably affected, so his complexion was not good.

I quickly put away the fraud that came with my emotions and waited for his answer.

“Whew. So to put it simply, it’s a curse. A curse of the highest order filled with resentment. If this continues, your heart and brain will harden into stone and you’ll die, or only the outside will harden and you’ll become a living statue. ”

“Haa. It’s a statue. Right. So is there a way to fix it?”

“I don’t have one, but I don’t know any doctors around you. ”

I know a doctor. Was there something like that?

When I was incarnated, I had super regenerative powers and was invulnerable to poison, so I didn’t need a doctor.

In the first place, it would have cost a lot of money to see a doctor, and that wasn’t enough with the money we earned during our incarnation days, so Enoch was sick a lot, but he treated himself by boiling medicine.

Now that I think about it, I don’t remember who made that medicine. It was a long time ago, so I don’t remember well.

“Ah. Right. Andriy. That guy… … .”

“Andori… …? It’s the first time I’ve heard that name?”

“Ah. There’s a guy like that. Anyway, you keep an eye on the rust condition. I’ll be back in a bit. ”

“Huh? Uh… … Okay.”

[Recover the holy relic, ‘Clone Body’.]

As soon as I returned to the sanctuary, I turned my head to Iris’ screen.

As expected, Grigori was on Iris’ screen, and the two were eating together.

Looking at it this way, they look like mother and daughter.

I hate to interrupt your meal, but the situation is urgent and I have to do it.

[Sponsoring the Holy Relic, ‘Clone Body’.]

“Andori! Sorry, I need some help while I’m eating. Can you help me?”

“Kekekekekekekekeke.”

“Andori?”

“Kekekeke. Use it. Sigh. Oh seriously, turn on your blinkers and come in. I almost got run over!”

“That’s not important right now. Noki. Our Noki!”

“Fuck. If this isn’t important, then what is? But why Noki? Did something happen to Noki? Is he eating well?”

“That’s not the problem, our Noki is dying!!!”

“Huh? Okay. Iris, don’t steal my food and wait. I’ll come back and eat the food later.”

“Yeah~ Hehehe, cucumber salad looks delicious.”

Me and Grigori are in the basement of a remodeled ruin.

We left Grigori’s base and went to the place where the three of us used to play together.

Since there were only a few eyes watching inside, this place where no one’s gaze could reach was the perfect place to have an important conversation.

Moreover, it was a good place to reminisce about the memories of the three of us playing together, so it was perfect for calming my excited heart.

So whenever Grigori listens to me, he always tries to hear it from this place.

Because if I heard it somewhere else, I might get so excited that I don’t know what to do.

Knock knock.

“Skip the introduction and just get to the point. Why are you dying?”

“Your body is slowly hardening with the stigmata of the constellations. It’s the end.”

“A stigmata… … Then it must be some kind of curse. But it’s not an ordinary curse, it’s a curse from a constellation, so I’ll have to use a relic from a constellation with strong healing power. Then, should I meet my sponsors after a long time?”

“Use a sponsor or something to get me some relics that will revive Rust. I’ll take them right away and cure Rust.”

“Write. But medical relics are hard to handle, even for you. And you can’t handle them all by yourself. It’s impossible even if you have multiple bodies. Anyway, I understand, so go back for now. I’ll call you later when everyone gathers. ”

“Thank you. Then please collect them as quickly as possible. I’ll go check the rust condition.”

[The holy relic, the ‘clone’, has been recovered.]

“Ah! Say hello to me on your way out… … C’mon, that bitch is really.”

Luckily, Grigori was my friend, so things went smoothly.

But the problem starts now. Even if you heal the body, it’s useless if the mind doesn’t wake up.

Let’s go back, as waking up Noki is our top priority.

By now, Noki might have already woken up.

[Sponsoring the Holy Relic, ‘Clone Body’.]

“Things went well. How about melting it?”

The expression on the woodman’s face was not good.

Is it because of the fraud or is it because the rust is not in good condition?

I got a little scared.

*

Fortunately, Noki’s condition was good.

However, it will take quite some time to wake up.

The problem was simple, but I was getting impatient.

I’m worried that my body will freeze before I even wake up, and that I won’t be able to receive treatment.

Or would I be physically stiff but mentally sound and spend my whole life in a wheelchair?

I was starting to get impatient as each minute and each second passed.

But since there was nothing I could do, I waited patiently.

So one week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks.

After about five weeks, Noki suddenly began to tremble and have seizures.

Soft, soft, soft.

“Melting! Melting!! Hey! Mokin! Our Nokki!!”

“Okay, wait a minute! Aah! Don’t hit me!”

“Quickly! Quickly, do something about our Noki! Our Noki. Our Noki!!”

[The Holy Relic, ‘Family Photo Album’ is activated.]

Swish.

Twinkle, twinkle.

[Constellation, ‘The Corpse of the Falling World’ retrieves the Holy Relic.]

At that moment, the family photo album I had given you before fell out of Noki’s body.

Obviously, Enoch was in a coma and couldn’t use the photo album, but the fact that it was used meant that Enoch’s condition had improved a lot.

Thank goodness, Enoch is waking up soon.

But then I wondered. How could he use the holy relics while in a coma?

[The constellation, ‘The Resting Giant’ notices your worries.]

[The constellation, ‘The Resting Giant’ is said to be dreaming.]

Dream? A dream. Is there any chance of using a relic in a dream?

I don’t know what kind of dream you had that made you use a photo album to recall your memories, but it was enough of an answer.

Enoch is dreaming now.

And in that dream, I had an opportunity to use a photo album.

Enoch soon wakes up.

Hope is beginning to appear.

“Hey. What is this.”

I found a strange potion on the woodcutter’s desk.

It looked like an ordinary pill, but I knew exactly what it was.

“Fuck. What the hell did you do with the poison.”

“Oh, nothing.”

“Are you sure you didn’t do anything? You didn’t feed this medicine to Nokki, did you?”

“Oh, no! Why would I do that!”

“Yeah. You don’t have a reason to do that. But I have so many enemies. You never know, maybe you were trying to kill our Nokki.”

He grabbed the neck of the man who showed signs of betrayal.

To a tree man, the neck was just a stem, so it was okay for it to break or snap, but I held onto the stem in order to find the roots.

“Answer me nicely. Who told you to do this? Huh?! Who told you to do this!”

“Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!! Common sense tells you that who would do something like that to be a tyrant!!”

“And there are a lot of bitches in this world who don’t understand common sense and rush in. You fucking bastard.”

I broke the wooden man’s desk and grabbed the roots underneath it.

It’s okay for a few stems or branches to break or snap, but once the roots are injured, it takes a long time to recover, so if they are injured, it is fatal.

And I grabbed one of those roots and pulled it with my hand.

Then the shepherd cried out in pain.

“AAAH!!! My roots!!!”

“You shouldn’t have fed her poison. I was betrayed by a woman I trusted recently. I won’t tolerate this kind of thing.”

“Eww!!! It hurts!!! It hurts!!!”

“How much more painful will it be for us to melt? Enoch will be in more pain than you are now, you tree bastard. You can’t detoxify it right now!”

“Kkaaah!!!”

He grabbed one stem of the tree’s roots and tore it off, then grabbed another stem and tore it off again.

Then the man started to have a fit and started to throw punches at my actions.

I suppressed the man with one hand without showing any sign of looking at him and continued speaking.

“Why don’t you hurry up and put Enoch back the way he was? Or else I’ll wake him up!!”

“Ouch! It hurts! That’s a root!”

“What the hell do you want me to do? What are you? Just shut up and turn it around.”

“Ahhhh! Flower petals! No matter what, touching flower petals is crossing the line!!”

Blood-like sap flowed from the wooden man’s body. It also flowed from his eyes.

I pulled out the roots and stomped on the flowers.

No matter how much he betrayed me, touching our Nokki was an act of crossing the line, so I also crossed the line and continued to step on it.

That was when.

The moment when Enoch’s voice was suddenly heard.

“Sister!”

Pure white silver hair and a familiar body type.

And the blue eyes that look at me clearly.

Enoch.

Enoch woke up.

“Melting!”

Hug.

I ran to Noki and hugged him tightly.

Then Noki also hugged me.

Finally, Noki woke up.

Tears flowed ceaselessly from his eyes and soaked Noki’s clothes.

I was glad that Noki had finally woken up.

“Hey… … So it’s over now?”

At that time, there was a man who broke the mood without notice.

I’ll beat you up later when Enoch isn’t around.

“Ha… … Ha, haha. Po, can I help you with the point payment?”

[go away.]

“Yes.”
