TEASER
Volume 4 Chapter 7.1
Seeds of Rekindling Part 1
*Step, step, step,
step*.......
In the hospital
attached to the Gloaurum Institution. Shina Juliel and Razward were making
their way down the cold, quiet, white corridor.
Their destination was
a certain hospital room. Once they arrived at their destination, she slowly
regulated her breathing. There was a nameplate on the door with the name of
Nozomu Bountis written on it. She put her hand on the doorknob and opened it
noiselessly. Long black hair could be seen through the gap of the door.
"Irisdina-san,
you're here."
"Oh, Shina-kun,
huh......"
Despite it being early
in the morning, Irisdina had already visited the hospital room.
On the table beside
her were trays of replacement bandages and disinfectants, as well as tubs of
clean water and towels. Nozomu, wrapped in bandages all over his body, was
lying quietly on the only bed in the hospital room.
Both Nozomu and Ken
were swallowed by the raging waters, but Nozomu was able to be found.
It was thanks to the
communication earring he was wearing.
Originally, it was a
magical device made of a special stone called a curbstone. Combined with the
fact that there was a communication link, they were able to quickly locate him
as he was swallowed by the raging waters.
It was also fortunate
that Shina, who had sensed Nozomu's situation, immediately sent Razward to his
rescue.
Razward rushed into
the water supply through the exit from which Irisdina and the others had
escaped. He pushed aside the rushing water with his wind spirit power and
tracked Nozomu. As a result, they were able to rescue him not long after he was
swept away by the waters.
Incidentally, the
water that had flooded up to the water supply managed to be drained out by the
emergency drainage mechanism installed. However, in exchange, the water supply
in the residential area was completely cut off. It was estimated that it would
take more than a week to restore it.
After being rescued,
Nozomu was rushed to a hospital room in the Gloaurum Institution.
And several days have
passed. He still has not regained consciousness.
"Irisdina-san,
how is Nozomu-kun's condition......?"
"He still hasn't
woken up. At this rate, who knows when he's going to wake up...... Even
Fadrey-dono cannot bring back Nozomu's consciousness."
According to Fadray,
there are parts of the human body that can be restored to normal and parts that
cannot. This is especially true for the functions related to the head, and he
cannot do anything about this part.
"Raz......"
[Chichichi...... (It's
not working, after all. I can't seem to connect the link directly to wake it
up).]
"Nozomu......"
Irisdina gently placed
her hand on Nozomu's cheek. The heat that gradually transmitted from the palm
of her hand told her that he was still alive.
That's why it was so
frustrating, and sadness stirred deep in her heart.
At that moment, the
door was opened and Norn entered the room.
"Good morning,
you two. I see you're here again today."
"Yes, I'm sorry,
Norn-sensei, for asking you to do something unreasonable......"
"Don't worry
about it. You guys are just concerned about him, right?"
This is just a teaser.
