Chapter 59.1

The next morning I returned to the Lognoss Clinic.

“Nn………..”

Misa, who had fallen asleep wakes up and looks sleepily at me.

“……..Arnos-sama…….Ray-san is………..?”

“Heading to Deruzogedo.”

“Then……….it’s morning already…..?”

Misa looks at Sheila.

Her condition is a bit more stable but could get worse at any time.

I had hoped that by morning would have helped her recover to some extent but it didn’t. Misa’s and Sheila’s wavelengths are just too different and due to the inefficiency of the spell Misa’s body won’t last. If Ray hadn’t stopped Misa I would have.

“Stay here until the finals are over.”

Using Construction Creation I made a small glass ball appear on my fingertip.

“If something comes up break this glass ball. It will allow you to escape from the shadow sewing dagger.”

I cast Light Source and Conditions so it activates when the ball is broken. simply makes light but it will cover the entire room in light and remove all the shadows so the shadow sewing dagger has no effect.

“See you.”

“Errm……Arnos-sama…..!”

Misa stops me.

“What’s up?”

Misa looks at me with a serious look.

“Can you use on me one more time?”

“For what purpose?”

“I’ll help Ray-sans mother revive before the end of the finals. After that Arnos-sama can just pull the contracted demon sword from Ray-san.”

“ doesn’t have the efficiency to help her before the end of the finals.”

It will take at least a day for sheila to get to the point where she can even walk. Also, continuing to use the power will put Misa in danger.

“It’s better than doing nothing.”

“Even if you pray to the gods a miracle won’t happen.”

“…..Perhaps. But I won’t give up just because no miracles will happen.”

Misa’s face carries a serious expression.

“I don’t want to regret it. I don’t want to look back later and think I could have done more. Even if nothing happens I still want to do the best I can.”

Fumu. Can’t she understand the current situation?

“I understand your resolution.”

I use and merge their roots together again.

“If you can make a miracle happen then come to the arena with Sheila. Even if the person who collared Ray notices I’ll deal with it.”

Misa firmly nods.

“Understood.”

“See you.”

I move to the school using

I told Misa Sheila wouldn’t recover enough to be in time. That there’s no use expecting miracles.

I think about the finals as I head to the waiting room.

Ray has been told to set up some type of trap for me in the finals but he’s not good at magic. The use of other demon swords is not accepted either. Ray’s weapon Initeio is a sword that slashes magic formula. It’s strong but there’s not a lot he can do with it beyond that. What is Avos Dillheavia plotting?

Well, I’m not that bothered by whatever he’s plotting. My aims are to treat Sheila, remove the contracted demon sword from Ray and turn the tables on whoever planned this.

Anything beyond that is not worth considering at the moment.

I arrive in the waiting room and Ray is waiting on the other side of the room.

Like Ray, I also wanted to fight without worrying about such a boring plot.

While we waited for the start of the finals Ray kept staring at my sword.

A knock sounded from the door.

“Who is it?”

After a slight delay, a voice answered.

“……It’s me…….”

Misha’s voice.

“What’s wrong?”

The door opened and Misha’s face peeped through the opening.

“Supporting.”

“Me?”

Misha nodded.

“I see. By the way, why are you only showing your face?”

“Can I enter?”

“Of course”

The door fully opened and Misha stepped through.

“Are you nervous?”

“Nervous? Fumu. I want to try being nervous at least once but I’ve got no experience.”

Misha blinked a couple of times.
