“Well, I’m fine now. I’m more comfortable moving around than when I woke up earlier. If I could go right now, I’d move right now… ”

“No, wait.”

What stopped me was Blanc.

“Your body isn’t even fully healed yet. Where are you going?”

“Blanc, you checked it too. The magic output is back, and the body… ”

“It’s not a problem with the amount of horsepower output, it’s because it’s putting a strain on your body. How long have you been lying down?”

“This is the level where it gets better with a little movement. I’ll get the test results today and go out right away. If I stay in a place like this, the staff will be uncomfortable too.”

“Your recovery is the top priority right now.”

“But… ”

“Didn’t you hear what the kids were saying?”

“Ah… ”

Along with Blanc’s words, Arin also reacted.

The power that goes into your hands…

No, hey… Could you please stop expressing your dissatisfaction with force…?

Even though I am a monster… if you hold me that hard with your magical hands…!

“Ah, I see! Okay, let’s do that for now… Ahh… ”

“Huh? Where does it hurt?”

“No… It’s nothing… ”

“Okay. Just rest for now. The staff said they’d be here soon.”

“Oh, then, could you give me that… video?”

“Huh? Video?”

“You said that all of our fights were recorded on video. Isn’t there a video of your duel with Arin?”

“Um, I’m not feeling well right now. Analyzing that will only make things worse. No.”

Suddenly banned? What do you mean?

No, I don’t think you’ll get sick from just watching a video.

“No, why are you watching the video… ”

“Analyzing something like that takes a lot of brain power and energy. Studying already takes a lot of energy, so how much more energy would someone like you put into analyzing things in detail? Right?”

“That, that’s… ”

“So, don’t think like that and just rest.”

“Ugh… Who will take care of my boredom… I would rather be dreaming while I’m sleeping, but now… ”

“That’s something I can’t do. Oh, no. Why don’t you just play with Arin and Ellis?”

“Oh, yes?”

“There must be a lot of things you haven’t told Arin yet. Or should I get you the president of the association?”

“Oh, no… ”

The president of the association seemed a little offended that I had rejected him so expressionlessly, and he looked at me and said:

“Why, Bin. I don’t like it?”

“Ah, no… That, that… ”

“Hey, I don’t like Vine! Do you think Vine would like an old man like you?”

“Ellie!”

“Vine. That’s right! I’m better than the president of the association who can’t even play games properly and is just a sloppy person, but is only afraid of what he sees outside, right?”

Anyway, President Elirang…

Yes, they are fated rivals.

Well, maybe not in combat but in a game.

It also seems a bit like a lie to say that Ellie won everything.

It is more likely that the association president gently scratched it while looking after it.

And then, by helping them win, you make them feel good.

Well, if you think about it, it wasn’t in such a bad condition when I saved it.

That would be a somewhat correct inference.

There’s nothing to do, so let’s hear the story from back then.

“So, Chairman. How did you capture our Ellie and extract information from her?”

“I just scratched it gently and it all came out. It’s cute that he’s good at using his head but not good at games.”

“What? You’re cute? President, you right now… you, you…! Someone with a child… !”

“No, what are you talking about, kid, really. You’re making people misunderstand.”

“No, ear, ear… What the heck! You crazy pervert!”

“Hehehe… Vine, Ellis is talking like that because she’s embarrassed. You know that?”

“I think everyone knows that, even if it’s not me… But hearing it from the person who made it so embarrassing… It feels different.”

“Well, when scraping information, if you do it like this and scrape gently, it comes out well. This guy uses his head well, but if he panics once, he freezes like this.”

“This, shameless…! How can you be like this…! As the president of the association…!”

Yeah, no matter how I look at it, it seems like there’s an overflow from processing information in my head, and that’s why…

“Ugh, ugh… ! Ugh… !”

“But, after hearing just one word that I was cute… ”

“Well, I’ve been in the Association Villain Isolation Center for a long time. So I’ve created a lot of images.”

“Ah… ”

“Well, everyone has a different way of getting information.”

“Really, wow… This is the kind of person I don’t want to meet.”

“As long as you don’t do anything worse in the future, you’ll be fine. And you didn’t use force like that when you were with Ellis, right?”

“Ugh, but isn’t there something you’re reluctant to do… ”

While I was watching Ellis, who was beating the president with her small fists, the employees came in.

With tons of equipment.

“Ah, President!”

“Ah, you came. Then I’ll go now.”

“Ah, where…?”

“If the president is here, the staff will feel uncomfortable. Besides, there are many issues to deal with. In terms of budget.”

Yes, the president of the association was originally a busy person.

It must have taken a lot of sacrifices to come see me like this.

But, what was mentioned about the budget after that…

I guess… Yeah.

It’s Mac.

Surrounding me were staff installing a ton of equipment.

And I connect the equipment to various parts of my body, turn it on, and fiddle around with things.

There are so many things I don’t know even if I look at them.

In the old days, doctors would just connect one thing and figure out this or that.

Well, the understanding of monsters here and in Eden is different.

Yeah, so the equipment too…

“Um… This is uncomfortable. How much longer will it take…?”

“It won’t take long, so just be patient.”

Hmm… This, I was told to stay still so I stayed still…

It’s taking too long…

“Um… Over there… ”

“Almost done.”

“Yes… ”

I got a bit of a cold reaction.

I guess I’ve become a lot weaker lately.

I never thought my heart would ache from such a cold response.

After enduring the difficult times with this strange feeling, the results came out.

“Hmm, except for magic power, the body’s vitals are good. There are no negative findings that Blanc was worried about. In terms of magic power, it is showing similar figures to past measurement data… but those past figures are from Ragnarok. It is incomparable to the figures measured during the recent duel. It took some time to measure the details again because these figures were strange, but there are no magic cores or other abnormalities that appear in monsters. It seems that these are normal figures… What do you want to do, Blanc? ”

I got all the information I wanted to know.

That doesn’t mean you can go home eventually.

Well then, I’m good.

However, Blanc’s opinion seems to be a little different.

“Then, let’s give him a little more rest and let’s go out in 3 days.”

“Ah, no. Blanc… !”

“Vine, you should rest. Don’t you think? You’ve been living so hard. It’s good to have some time to rest.”

“No, that, that’s okay… ”

“Think back to the environment you were in. Your body, which was just starting to recover from living in that moon village, was ruined by excessive training. Right?”

“Ah, no… recovery is everything… ”

“No, even if you’ve recovered physically, mentally. You need to rest. Isn’t it good? In this room where there aren’t many people. Isn’t it?”

“Ugh… That’s… ”

“Yeah, like that without stopping… Haa. Really… ”

“Okay… Sigh.”

I just buried my head under the blanket and declared surrender.

There’s one more thing I learned about Blanc while living like this.

In a strange way, he is extremely stubborn.

I thought you were just a justice fanboy.

iced coffee…

Well, I’m just killing time in that small room with nothing to do…

I heard that Arin and Ellis are still in this room today.

“Arin, you have to go to school tomorrow… ”

“Magical girls can skip school for volunteer work. And taking care of your sister is volunteer work, right? So it’s okay.”

Oh, right.

Even children are stubborn.

Why is the magical girl near me so stubborn?

“Ellie… ?”

“I have no intention of leaving your side.”

Oh, and even Ellie.

haha…

“Are you going to Blanc?”

“Yeah, first of all, I need to decorate a room for Ellis at home. I think I can just empty out the room next to your room that’s being used as storage.”

“And there are still rooms left… There are several rooms I haven’t been able to touch.”

“Well, it’s a dormitory designed with many things in mind.”

“There are many reasons… Haa. No. Another ridiculous reason will come out. Then, are there only Arin and Ellie here?”

“No. Seohyun will be there. Well, I asked the president to take care of the sleeping arrangements.”

“Hey, Sister! I can sleep next to you, Sister Binne… ”

“Blanc…! Me too! Next to Vine…!”

“Vine, what are you going to do?”

Blanc and the two urging people.

Hmm.

“The bed is big anyway. Well, it doesn’t matter. Actually, this bed is big enough for the three of us to sleep in… But the redhead… ”

“Seohyun said she sleeps on the sofa. She said she feels comfortable there.”

“That’s strange. Normally, the bed would be comfortable.”

“I don’t know either. Seohyun said she wanted to stay. Then, I’ll come early tomorrow morning. Rest.”

“Yes.”

Outside, contrasting with the bright room.

The stars in the sky are not visible, and the lighthouse at night rises from the ground.

I, who ran wild on this night, which was splendidly embroidered with the fireflies of suffering.

Just stuck in this room, longing for the outside world.

No, I don’t envy you.

I have precious people next to me.

I don’t envy those free days when we could run wild at night like that.

Well, if it’s a change, then it’s a change.

It’s so sad to live like this.

Good.
