TEASER CHAPTER 5 PART 29
(Ugh~...)
A
groan echoed softly in the room. Nozomu who was lying on the bed slowly opened
his eyes.
(……w-where
is this?)
What
jumped into Nozomu's eyes, who had been laid down, was a world dyed in gray and
the ceiling made of wood. However, it wasn't the ceiling of his dorm room, and
it wasn't as luxurious as the room at Francilt's.
"W-where
the hell is this...~!"
(I
should have been in the forest in the first place...)
While
thinking so, he tried to get up from bed.
However,
he couldn't get up due to the pain running throughout his body, and he fell
back onto the bed.
If
he looked closely, he could see traces of treatment here and there all over his
body. Especially his arms, still tightly bandaged so they couldn't be moved
carelessly.
The
sun shone through the open window, and it was clear that a lot of time had
passed since his battle in the forest. Nozomu moved slowly so as not to burden
his body and tried to get up again. As before, his body was in dull pain, but
he lifted his body little by little and looked at the scenery outside the
window.
The
room where Nozomu was now was on the 2nd floor of the building, and beyond the
window, the view of the birds perched on the roof of the opposite house came
into view. Looking downward, he could see people passing by. At that time,
Nozomu finally realized something was wrong with his body.
(Eh?
It's strange. I can't hear any sound. Also my eyes...)
The
scenery beyond the window... no, it was his vision that remained dyed in black
and white. Also, he couldn't hear the chirping of the birds perched on the roof
of the opposite house or the hustle and bustle of passers-by. He tried to say
"ahhh", but as expected, he couldn't hear anything.
(Is it possible, could that be the cause?)
What
he could think of as the cause was the release of his Ability Suppression and
direct use of the dragon's power. Given that his ears and eyes were normal
before using Tiamat's power, no doubt about it.
Nozomu
looked up at the sky while exhaling. Anyway, he was glad he was safe. To be
honest, it was a situation where he could die.
Tiamat
had been trying to take over him along with the Undead Dragon who suddenly
revived and attacked him. The Undead Dragon, which should have been defeated,
had resurrected and attacked in its transformed form.
(I
wonder if everyone is safe...)
Nozomu
was worried about their safety.
Given
the situation, they should be safe. Because they had brought Nozomu to this
place. However, the anxiety stuck in his chest didn't go away because he
couldn't see them.
However,
the current Nozomu was unable to move.
With
his visual and hearing abnormalities, as well as the wounds all over his body
have not healed yet. He wasn't quite ready to go out yet.
Even
so, he put his hand on the edge of the bed to get up and try to find his
friends. At that moment, the door that was visible at the edge of Nozomu's
field of view opened, and someone entered the room.
(Ah~……)
