I saw it-the moment I thought, Ilia face down, hiding half of her face with her right hand.

Of course, the fact of being "seen" in such a situation does not disappear.

Sora's mind should have remembered her own crumbled face.

Shame When I thought about it, my whole body became hot with humiliation.

If you covered your face with a cloth from the beginning, or even put on a mask, you wouldn't have tasted such feelings.

But Ilia did not dare do so and faced Sora.

It's a kind of strength for those who aren't good at all.

It doesn't matter if you see an ugly face, you're not weak enough to cling to the antidote you've brought-that's a silence.

However, the moment she was seen in Sora-the face of the opposite sex, Ilia's strength melted and disappeared like ice on a sunny place.

Mock yourself and ask yourself what you're doing.

There was anxiety at the bottom of the ridicule.

As an adventurer and a priest warrior for years, Iria, who has been active for years, is not uncommon for poisons, paralysis, and curses. I have tasted it many times with my own body and have overcome it.

But even Ilia was very anxious about the poison.

High fever, coughing, nausea, pain in joints, etc. are still good. It was the numbness that slowly spread to Iria's hands, feet, and face.

With the help of drugs and magic, other symptoms could be eliminated. Even if it recurred immediately, the symptoms could be temporarily gone.

But this numbness never goes away. Slowly but surely invades the body.

Now my hands and feet are still moving. You can stand and walk, talk to your mother, Lars, and your children. But that won't be possible anymore-such conviction will cling to your mind and stay.

Affirming his belief, the right half of his numb face was ugly and crumbled.

There is no pain associated with it. In fact, Ilia did not notice her face transformation until she was pointed out by her mother, who turned her face pale. That fact even makes Ilia scared.

Pain is a physical alert that signals abnormal erosion. Without an alarm, humans can't even judge where something is wrong. Even if my limbs decay, I do not notice it. What awful thing to realize.

The eclipse of the body is the death of the god of death. When this numbness causes the whole body to be grasped, I will surely die. I thought so--.

But over the days of poison, Ilia's thinking has changed little by little.

Now, Ilia thinks, It's still good if you can die.

If the symptoms progress as it is, I will not be able to move or speak and will continue to see myself falling down. A painless hell that is not allowed to go crazy is about to begin.

If so, more

"Hey, Ilia!"

Called in a strong tone at his ear, Ilia suddenly returned to me.

Looking at it, Sora is staring at this with a serious look.

"What, what ...?"

"When did this happen?"

Ilia must have turned his head annoyedly—Ilia responded to the question of the person she thought.

"I see, three days ago ... maybe the symptoms started right after the poisoning."

"Three days, three days?"

After that, Sora looks up at the ceiling and mutters in her mouth.

Ilia's ears heard, "I have to hurry."

Sora's gaze is turned to Ilia again. As soon as I felt the other person's gaze on her face, Ilia's body jumped on the bed.

Sora doesn't seem to notice such a reaction and talks quickly.

"Ilia, did you hear about the antidote I brought from the priest?"

Eyebrows "Eh, yeah, I heard ... it's a story of mixing dragon's blood, isn't it?

"It's true, so drink it.

"Cho !?"

Iria protests at Sora, who pushes a medicine bottle from her mouth to her mouth.

He stared at Sora while pushing the bottle with his right hand.

"What do you do suddenly !?"

"Don't worry. Miroslav has confirmed the safety. Me too."

"I can only trust the name of the person who checked the safety! Why are you in a hurry?"

"... Three days ago, I was in a village on the upper reaches of the Kale River. I heard in the guild that a poison that did not work was going to work. He was much more advanced and could no longer stand on his own or speak.

"........e?"

"I'm out of the village right away, so I don't know the details, but I've heard that it didn't take ten days before the person fell and couldn't move.

Looking at Sora's eyes quietly, I realized that it was not a lie.

It might happen anyway-Ilia was aware of that, but with the specific number of ten days, the feeling of frustration in the back of her chest grew irresistibly.

The next time he opened his mouth, Ilia's voice was shaking without will.

"... Is that person suffering?"

"I didn't moan one."

"Yes ... that's right ..."

As she muttered with the murdered voice, Ilia stared at Sora's medicine bottle.

"If you drink this and it doesn't work-"

"Adjust to be more effective."

"Even if it works, if the symptoms recur immediately-"

"You can drink many times. Fortunately, you can have as many ingredients as you want."

"If you drink it many times, it won't work anymore? Antidote and my mother's magic."

"What, just adjust it so it works again. You can drink the dragon's blood directly."

When she hears it, she shrugs as if she was open.

It was not the behavior of the young man in front of me, but myself who could not stop strengthening at such times.

God's Steel "I'm going to go easily. What level is the dragon's blood?"

Rare "I have just experienced that a human who was at the top level until this time did not run up to the dragon knight?"

Ilia uttered a small speech in the line.

"Oh, that's right. Sure, the blood of the dragon is rare compared to your rarity --- Hey, Sora."

"what?"

"I couldn't ask my mother or Lars for this, but you can do it without hesitation. If the poison doesn't heal and I'm like a lump of meat alive ... then ... ..!

Ilia was still hesitant to try to exhale the feelings that no one could ever exhale.

The fear of losing his energy to resist poison and ending up with the consequences was stiffening.

Sora crushes Ilia's complex mind without breaking it.

"Relieve. I'll kill you in a moment."

Immediately reading the secret thoughts, Ilia raises her face as if she was repelled.

"Really? Really do you?"

"That's true. Do you think I rushed to you with pure good intentions? If you succeed, you can dress up and like you. If you fail, kill you before the poison I can clear my grudge. Whichever way I go, it's only good for me. "

Ilia stared at Sora with a different gaze than she did before.

Bed No matter how it is, you can see that its lightness is acting.

I have a grudge against Ilia, so don't hesitate to kill me, so rest assured-she's showing me that way.

If there were other people here, he might have blamed Sora's attitude.

But for Iria, who had been afraid of painless hell since her face began to crumble, Sora's attitude was more than welcome.

Even if you can't resist poison, you can't just taste the worst-painless hell. For that guarantee was something Ilia wanted.
