Illustrations: In discord.

Join the discord! Here

About three hours had passed when Taylor and around ten others arrived where Theo and his party were.

Taylor was quite startled upon surveying the scene but quickly collected himself and skillfully began to clean up.

He collected the severed limbs of the Practitioners and sealed the entrance to the Great Demon Shrine to prevent any leakage of magic.

After quelling the immediate crisis, Taylor smiled and said to Theo,

"I expected some trouble, but I never imagined it would be to this extent. As always, Theo, you exceed expectations."

Theo responded with a light smile,

"Indeed. Even I was surprised this time. And to think, Taylor, that you would come here personally."

It was unexpected.

Typically, Taylor stayed within the academy.

Without using magic like [Teleport], it would have been impossible to travel from the academy to here in just three hours.

'Could it be that this guy used [Teleport]?'

Although it was highly improbable, the thought 'Maybe Taylor could?' crossed his mind, especially since this is the person who even managed to create an imitation panacea that doesn't appear in the game.

Taylor then said, "Hahaha, you must be wondering how I arrived so quickly."

"Yes."

"It's simple. I was staying in a nearby village."

"Ah..."

Taylor laughed happily.

"Hahaha, did you think I used [Teleport]? Oh dear, I'm not capable of such feats. I just had a hunch something would happen."

"I had no idea you were so intuitive."

"It's hard to call it a good thing. The things that have happened to you, Theo, are events that an ordinary person might not experience even once in a lifetime. In a way, it's knowledge gained from experience."

Unknowingly, Theo wore a dumbfounded expression.

Taylor cheerfully laughed and asked the people who came with him, "Did you secure the five humans whose limbs were severed?"

The group nodded and pointed towards the cargo compartment of the large carriage they had arrived in.

Taylor checked the cargo compartment of the large carriage, where five Practitioners were tightly bound with magic sealing restraints and gagged.

The Practitioners of Light, despite having their limbs severed, still exhibited ferocity.

Of course, their cries were muffled to silent roars due to the gags.

Taylor told his group,

"Good job. You all worked hard. I'll arrange for another carriage for you to return in."

Understood.

Taylor then said to Theo, "It looks like we've wrapped things up here. So, Theo, where to next?"

Theo answered without hesitation.

"I'd like to return to Elinia Academy first."

There are two main issues that need immediate attention.

First, Fyat's left leg needs to be reattached, and second, they need to find a way to restore the Practitioners of Light to their original state.

The first issue is not difficult.

Theo plans to attach a [Substitute Body] to Fyat, similar to Oswald.

The personnel capable of performing the [Substitute Body] surgery are managed by Taylor, and they are currently residing within the academy.

Theo nodded.

'I should stop taking the panacea for a while. But two months...'

It's not a short period. Anything could happen in two months.

For instance, it hasn't even been two months since acquiring the [Demon Sword].

A means for rapid recovery must be devised as a necessity.

Then, a thought crossed Theo's mind.

'...Now that I think about it, there was that method.'

The corner of Theo's mouth turned up in a smirk.

'Why didn't I think of this earlier?'

Inside the Hero Department student council room, Isabella was there, her expression unusually animated.

She paced the student council room, lost in thought.

'He said he has something urgent to ask of me...?'

This was because Theo had contacted her.

He had joined a research team investigating the Practitioners of Light a few days ago, and she hadn't expected him to return so soon.

The urgency was evident in his voice coming through the crystal ball.

I have a very urgent matter, so I contacted you as soon as I returned to the academy, senior. May I visit you right away?

Isabella found herself responding with a hesitant "Um... yeah, okay," despite being swayed in a way she usually disliked.

However, she wasn't upset about it.

In fact, she felt rather pleased.

Regardless of the process, it meant he sought her out as a solution to an urgent matter.

Then,

It's Theo Lyn Waldeurk. May I come in?

A knock sounded from beyond the door.

"Um, uh, ahem."

Isabella hurriedly cleared her throat and checked her reflection in the mirror.

'No sleep in my eyes... skin looks okay... outfit... also okay. Hairstyle... hmm, not entirely to my liking, but it's okay.'

After a quick self-inspection, Isabella called out to the door, "Yeah, come in~"

Upon hearing Theo's words, Isabella stumbled over hers, unusually.

"So... you're saying you want to live together with me?"
