“Shouldn’t you take a break? Your body won’t last at this rate.”
He must have seen that Misa’s magic power has decreased considerably.
“……..It’s okay…….because the finals are tomorrow…….”
“My mother’s power certainly seems to have recovered a little but you won’t make it at this pace. Your body will collapse first.”
“It’s fine even if I collapse.”
“Is that magic shaving your origin away? Even I can understand that your magic power is steadily decreasing.”
Misa nods.
“Will you die?”
“…..It’s a possibility……”
“You should think carefully. Your work for the unification faction is important. Is it okay if such a silly sentint makes it impossible for you to fulfil your goal?”
“……….Is it a silly sentint?”
“I think so. Even if you stake your life now you can only save one person. Soday you will really need to stake your life on the line and that ti will be when you need to fight to save many people.”
Listening to it Misa laughed.
“Such a ti won’t co.”
“Really?”
“Ray-san. I’ve never t my father due to the current Deiruheido and the royals. Soday I want to et my father. I stared the unification faction so that one day there won’t be any more children like .”
Ray has a serious face listening to Misa.
“If so, then even more reason to keep your life for that ti.”
“Right now there is a person who is unable to see their mother due to the royals. Abandoning such a person to save others is not sothing the unification faction will do.”
Letting the few die to save the many would be the correct action. In fact, that’s how I’ve worked all this ti. As the demon king of tyranny, there were things that couldn’t be protected without destroying sothing else first.
“…….I can’t wait for that ‘soti’. I want to save now. I want to help those that are suffering now. If I don’t think like that then I won’t be able to put my life on the line when that ‘soti’ arrives.”
Ray relaxes his shoulders and speaks to Misa in a gentle voice.
“You are strong.”
“…..I’m stupid……..I’m not smart like Ray-san……”
“Not at all. You have courage, unlike .”
Misa laughs then quickly hides a pained expression.
Ray slowly walks over to Misa and stands by her.
“Thank you.”
“No it’s no big dea—”
Ray strikes Misa on the back of the neck causing her to faint. At the sa ti I cancelled .
“I’m sorry. If I didn’t stop you now, you’d have died.” Ray mutters as if regretting his lack of courage.
Putting his hand on his head his shoulders drop as if wondering what to do now. He seems lost.
After a while, Rays straightens up and a small voice rings out.
“……….Ray……….”
His head raises.
“……Ray…….”
“…….Mom………?”
Ray imdiately approaches the bed and bought his face closer to Sheila who opened her eyes slightly.
“Mom.”
Ray smiled in front of his mother who had regained consciousness after a long ti, however, it was a smile that threatened to turn into tears at any mont.
“Please wait mom, I’ll cure you soon.”
“…..It’s okay…..”
“…..Mom?”
“……I’ve been conscious all this ti. I know everything. It’s fine Ray. You are you and you do what you want to do…….. You are carefree, absentminded and only think about swords but you are also a very kind child. Mother will be happy if you live freely and happily.”
Tears fall on Sheila’s cheek.
“What are you saying mom? I’ll help you so don’t worry.”
“Don’t lose……Ray. Mother is always by your side. Take care of your important friends.”
As if using up all her power Sheila closes her eyes.
“……Mom……..?”
Ray calls her.
“Mom…..!”
Sheila didn’t respond and seed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
