Did I just say the penalty for time deceleration was weak?

I take it back.

I wasn’t lying, it really felt like I was going to die.

A pain like my head was being struck by an ax had been persisting.

But if I released time deceleration, that crazy red storm would engulf us for sure.

So, I gritted my teeth and endured.

Then, the headache intensified.

The pain, which felt like an ax striking my head, now transformed into the feeling of an electric saw grinding it.

I couldn’t even speak properly.

Eventually, I screamed.

The red storm that seemed to devour everything began to slowly subside.

Thankfully, it ended before I completely lost my mind.

I collapsed to the ground.

My legs wouldn’t move, as if my muscles had been severed.

The headache still lingered.

I wanted to just lie down on the ground, but I couldn’t even do that.

“...Damn it.”

I couldn’t feel anything.

My vision blurred, as if I was about to faint.

How long did it last?

I don’t know.

But in the meantime, someone approached me.

“Are you alright, Teacher?”

“Helia, is that you?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

Hearing Helia’s voice, I was finally able to relax.

Perhaps because my body had lost its strength, I started to lose balance and crumble.

Helia caught me.

“Teacher, your arm...!!!”

“This is nothing.”

“...I see, as expected of Teacher.”

“But where are the others...?”

As I felt puzzled by Helia’s heavy reply, a jingling sound caught my attention.

Thanks to that, I was able to see it.

The pendant in her hand.

“As expected, I think this is what we need to do with Teacher.”

I remembered that item.

It was the one Comprachico had used for mind control.

But why was it here?

I was sure Helia wasn’t around at that time...

“All of this is for Teacher.”

The pendant in Helia’s hand began to glow.

It was dangerous, I had to look away... but I was more curious.

Why?

But without finding a proper answer...

My consciousness slowly faded into the light.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

The commander’s bombshell announcement had been enough to shake everyone.

It seemed like he was leaving them, especially with most of them already relying on him.

It meant that the commander was leaving them.

Of course, Hans hadn’t thought that far.

He planned to stay and help the Royal Knights at least until peace was restored.

But they weren’t in a situation where they could afford to realize that.

So, after much deliberation, Helia revealed it in front of everyone.

The silver pendant sat proudly on the table.

Yuren’s expression hardened instantly as she looked at it.

But Helia calmly said,

“It’s Comprachico’s artifact. It’s probably the item that allowed that demon to control minds.”

As if the commander might disappear one day.

That fear consumed her mind.

The commander disappearing?

No, that couldn’t happen.

He had to be by her side always, her commander!

‘I had given up on everything.’

‘Revenge, the glory of the Royal Knights...’

‘I want to dedicate everything to the commander who brought it all back.’

The girl who had lost her family found a new family here and her heart pounded uncontrollably, as if she was sick.

But it definitely wasn’t a bad feeling.

At first, she was too embarrassed to admit it, but now she did.

She wanted to love him.

Even if it meant burning her whole being.

The near-disaster of losing something precious had awakened that feeling.

“Cluna, do you have it?”

“Yes, I have it here.”

“Anyone opposed?”

There was no one who opposed it.

Just look at the commander’s current state.

Didn’t it seem like he could disappear at any moment?

She didn’t want him to disappear.

She wouldn’t allow him to leave.

“Well, I’ll take the punishment. I’ll take it all on myself.”

Listening to Yuren’s words, Helia walked forward.

She held the pendant she had received from Cluna in her hand and as the commander’s body collapsed, Helia caught him.

At first, she wanted to monopolize him.

She didn’t want to share her teacher with anyone.

But as time passed, she had made precious friends.

They were like family to her.

Of course, her teacher was still the most precious to her.

But she didn’t want to lose them.

Then, what should she do?

There was only one way.

It’ll be okay if we’re all together.

Everyone, without exception.

Without anyone being hurt or abandoned.

Wouldn’t Teacher have done the same?

The pendant in Helia’s hand shone brightly.

Perhaps his mind had weakened, as Hans instantly fell into a trance upon seeing it.

Looking at her hypnotized teacher, Helia said,

“There’s only one thing we want from you, Teacher.”

“Punishment...”

“Y-Yuren, w-we can do that later, can’t we?”

Bayard stepped in and silenced the unnecessary comment from behind.

Feeling relieved, Helia spoke with sincerity.

With her... no, with their sincerity...

“We want you to be our commander forever.”

And to embrace us warmly.
