Chapter 222: Memories of Galliant (2)
3TNgx“I will finish it as quickly as possible. Don’t worry. I also took surgery classes at the time.”FfyIjA
9OjSurgery, which performs external operations, uses a different scheme than general medicine. The doctor could also use basic schemes, so he was able to cut the bone quickly.DJwBnv
XdOh“I will begin. There may be convulsions, so hold him firmly.”dinGc
jBLTess nodded while crying uncontrollably. Amy and Arin, who were watching the scene, could not say anything.rucyvn
R0DCQvOIf it were their choice, they would have run away. But since it was Tess, she had made that decision with the determination to take responsibility for Rian’s life forever.aTUj
Qz7KW“Ugh! Ugh! Then I will begin!”vJE2pl
zVvC“Stop.”gPD6Cr
phCKlAt the moment he placed the saw on the shoulder, the doctor was startled by the voice and turned around.lCMQe
24lu8rShirone, who had regained consciousness, was getting off the bed. The recovery mages, exhausted, lay on the floor gasping.VN9FL2
mwnH“Tess, what are you doing? Why are you trying to cut off Rian’s arm?”rqbX0
e96cKo“Shirone, Shirone……”LvE2Zf
5XJTess burst into tears. Unable to decide what to do and leaving everything to the flow of the situation, Shirone’s recovery was like rain in a drought.WwSiFbw
I51ba“Shirone, what do I do? They’re going to amputate Rian’s arm. Rian now……”CppY
gP43Cal“No. Cutting off his arm would ruin Rian’s life.”OnYK
Fkkz“But then he will die! Rian will die!”xK2Y
jVC“Even if he dies, it can’t be helped. I won’t allow it.”SvP
ZfptBwShirone’s words pierced Tess’s chest like a dagger.UzGINY2
R9fBgOf course, Shirone is Rian’s master. Even if he died, Rian would not blame him.22cu
NNmBut then, who would understand her feelings?ZX9McaF
5kAas10“Tess, change the way you think. Rian wouldn’t want that.”mFV
86609e“I know! I also want Rian to become the greatest swordsman in the world! But that’s important to Rian, not to me! I don’t care if he loses an arm!”b3jat
IisI3“How can you say something so cruel?! Could you say the same in front of Rian?”Yfya
Fwr73“That’s why I’m going to do it! Since he’s unconscious, I’ll do it my way! Rian will abandon the sword! So you give up too! Doctor, start already!”kUPau
V1il“He is holding the sword!”nqb
clAEkTess’s face, which had turned toward Rian, turned pale.UiYy
DsPP“Look at Rian! Even now he’s holding the sword! Even if only bones remain, he’s still fighting! And you want to amputate?! Until Rian gives up, no one can tell him to give up!”jFn3yp
CcBTess looked at Rian’s arm.Cjp
5NMuhWhy wouldn’t he let go of the sword? Did he intend to remain Shirone’s sword until the moment of his death? If so, she could never have him just for herself.No5gk
DdBqCBut it did not matter. Because that was Rian. Precisely because he was that Rian……vEbYPl
rGfQQW“I love him too much.”3RPi0D2
XKpxTess buried her face in Rian’s chest.USQwP
sLy5She would not treat him. If he kept holding the sword until the last moment, then even in death he would remain a swordsman.DUuA2dc
bqvkhFrom Rian’s mouth came a faint voice.yKskY
4LBCw“Te……ss……”UeaFs
2th4rJoTess’s head snapped up.rQnogD
wsm“Rian! I’m here! Are you conscious? Does it hurt a lot?”EGlUB1G
UUQrH“Shirone, Shirone is……”1xp
13xPk3W“It’s okay! He came back safe and sound! This is Jis’s home! You’re the one most injured!”gcT
X1aARpRian moved and lifted his upper body. When he looked at his right arm, which was only bone, his friends’ hearts sank.TPEKF
8pnK“What is this?”Gxgsdjv
p96LbBreaking expectations, Rian did not move a single eyebrow. Being able to remain calm upon seeing his destroyed arm showed a superhuman will.hWo
LvPIbDETess understood that Shirone was right. He knew. From the day Rian made his knight’s oath, how much determination he had engraved into his sword.IXqZyRE
0vgW“Why is my arm like this? How did it end up so destroyed?”RYZdW
IjBFRian was only annoyed. Since the nerves had disappeared, he felt no pain. He did not even feel that the hand holding the sword was his.D3E
WXW“Rian, it’s just that……”wQIpm6
G6VZAt that moment, the greatsword fell from his arm with a dull sound. The bones of the five fingers opened and blood spurted from the shoulder.qHBWs
Rkp“Rian! Rian!”p33SWC5
kgUIThe doctor pressed his shoulder while shouting.9zYf2Qh
4yY724E“The hemorrhage has started! Bring hemostatic agents and bandages!”t3SzIc
7QjPxNo one moved.Snnkt
do1ZAs the doctor looked at them with murderous eyes, a strange sound came from Rian’s arm.Svh
X8PoYOGloop. Gloop.eU9Xj
8TThgIt was like the sound of a viscous liquid stirring.GE5E84
tEZZ6aThe doctor turned his head and, like the others, looked at Rian’s arm in confusion.HuO36
DqaO89The blood dripping from the shoulder was taking shape.85Qrm
VqWFeIt was impossible. Not even an archmage of recovery could cause a change in the nature of blood.3P7Hbhw
oOYHIZ“You… what on earth are you…?”qh5
Ul7CRian calmly watched as his arm was restored. As the nerves recovered, he began to feel it as his own. Carefully checking each muscle fiber, he asked his friends.oklw
IkV9c“What happened? Can someone explain it to me?”AXZkAH
LvQI“You ate a giant’s arm. You cut off his arm, and that giant made you eat it. It turned into something like the liquid used in the liquor of anecdotes and went down your throat.”QGfC
vmjR8“I cut off an arm? From a giant?”w29
lR4It was not a complete memory, only fragments, but the scene of cutting off Ymir’s arm vaguely came to his mind.605u
WqD21‘At least I landed a good hit.’1FKQ
xprhgkWhen he tensed his arm, he felt a powerful strength. Could it also be a secret of the liquor of anecdotes?wNjWx21
VXjIaAt that moment, the place fell silent. When Rian looked around, everyone had their mouths open.FKfeCH
wx3“What’s wrong? You look like people seeing muscles for the first time.”93YJx9w
cJCd“Are you really okay? It looks like even your skin is regenerating.”rLB
IJIN“That’s right. I’m fine.”bsHfjr
OZUGWS6Shirone shouted.OPMSU
UsJ9V“That’s not it, idiot! We’re asking how this is possible!”F4PrTM
b1F“I don’t know. It just happened like this, so I guess it’s like this.”zNF
WaWRNo matter how brave he was, it was his own body. Shouldn’t he at least be suspicious?5KLkKCJ
fW6Perhaps it was not bravery, but simple stupidity.TRToZD
zCdj“Done! He woke up!”mWwmam
VHY10YThe mages in charge of Canis shouted.VgYv8zr
FSLOXDHCanis slightly raised himself, looked around with half-closed eyes, and said with a frown.ffpc
yY4BR“What noise. I’m so sleepy I could die, don’t wake me up.”a5ofFH
Hb4HbuoThen he lay back down and fell deeply asleep.xo81L
eJ4VIAfter being tormented by the sleep demon’s object, it was a normal reaction, but given the circumstances, his friends felt more confused than anything else.HS2ahr
rTagtpArin stroked Canis’s head and whispered.rPfI
sd0Ef5T“Sleep well, Canis.”AxtnkVN
LDt0***lMK
e55LAfter returning from the sky, for 3 days Shirone’s group received extremely dedicated patient care from Jis and Yuna.caC
ByxDgThey slept an average of 16 hours a day, and their routine was to sleep, eat, and sleep again.HiM8o5o
UUSWhen they gathered in the living room at dusk to eat, Shirone told them what had happened in the sky.uwcDYE
fGjBut he kept silent about the final war.HO87N
auTdqRian frequently broke things with his right arm. His strength had increased to an uncontrollable level. Tess told him it would take time to develop the fine muscles needed to adjust his strength precisely.O0lStI
9LFAosvTess, whenever she had time, cleaned and maintained the drone. She did not part from it for even a moment, and even while sleeping she caressed it while making ghostly sounds, which made Amy and Arin tremble in fear every night.DXX
HoOmsSCanis and Arin spent a lot of time talking alone. It seemed they had obtained what they wanted in the sky, but they did not tell anyone. They only honestly confessed that the one who reduced Kadum’s lifespan was him.rw9q9a
pnIAmy walked around with the ancient spirit Jack O Lantern lit. When she pointed at the sparks jumping and said they were cute, Rian would tell her that Amy was even cuter.8Ny
bAUud0FWhen the men and women gathered separately, Amy would look at Shirone for a long time. However, true to her meticulous nature, she never let her friends notice.Fkrj8
1W1tShirone sat on the sofa and often fell into deep thought. At those times, the face of the archangel Ikael was the first thing that appeared in his mind.OgCWVt1
n7IzPLVThe perception of Ataraxia was still engraved in his mind with a lingering warmth.Jxk3
LQ4oarEveryone who went to the sky obtained certain results, but no one received a gift as great as Shirone.ITJO8ws
F3CRSCanis complained that it was unfair and asked him to teach him the secret, but what he did not know, he did not know.8biduu
YRQA1Q‘Ikael… are you okay?’2bA
GQbKHmDue to the characteristics of its function, the Metagate could not be brought back and had to be left in the sky. Although the coordinates were reset, with the technology of the sky they might be able to find a way to bypass the labyrinth’s space-time with that alone.LTCi0x
5s5vlDZHowever, at the last moment, Kariel could not disobey Ikael’s recommendation. As long as she remained on the side of humans, the final war would not occur.aZiF
X7XOn the other hand, he wanted to see her again. Remembering Peophe, who despite grumbling had a soft heart, nostalgia overwhelmed him.74QDC
0etrycR“Shirone, let’s go to sleep. For today it’s better to rest well.”KEVPE
Ud6Amy was standing in pajamas. Her figure illuminated by the moonlight was beautiful.Ck4s4
PhE6Both had spent days feeling the need to talk about something. But in the end, they simply looked at each other and smiled.vYj4
FjRFtv“Yes, let’s sleep.”Er5XB6P
gtgIWShirone entered the room where the men slept. In the small attic-like space, Rian’s snoring echoed. Beside him, Canis slept with both ears covered by a pillow.h3h6AZ
CCHShirone sat in a corner and looked into the darkness. Thinking that everything he had experienced was real, a chill ran through his body. In Shirone’s eyes, which smiled with tension, the light of the stars was reflected.rnIq2ZZ
I41IlThat night.p4M
dttQTJis, who had returned after finishing his work at the port, burst the door open and entered. Breathing heavily, he looked around and ran straight to the room where the men were sleeping.RoqOp1
H76“It’s serious! Wake up! Quickly!”iSj
TRLqAs he opened the door and shouted, one of Canis’s pillows flew and hit his face with a “Thump!”. No one woke up. After having gone to the sky, it seemed that nothing could truly be considered serious.1fpiAv
71x3c“Wake up already! Don’t get mad at me later!”CA0M
sVuZk9Shirone woke up rubbing his eyes.rbQ4CKh
qVtDRx“What is it? What’s going on?”uNW7nH
CDdlkTX“Wake the others and come down quickly! We have to leave now!”QRI
KR5With no time to explain, Jis turned around and went down to the first floor. Then he burst into the room where the girls were sleeping.r9jgb6
THJ7jzA“Girls! Wake up! Yuna, you too, quickly!”eJWJZM
BMOu2X“Ugh… what is it…?”o8d41U7
XRFAmy, who was sleeping deeply, was sprawled like an animal. But as she regained consciousness, she immediately understood the situation and turned her head with a fierce look.A03
ciHUNK9“Hey! How dare you come into a room where women are sleeping like this?! Do you want to die?!”64x36s
Z9JgrGi“Ah! Sorry! It’s urgent!”x9Z1m
SjnOWsaJis realized his mistake when he saw the girls in pajamas. Tess, who slept showing her navel, looked like an adult no matter when you saw her. But there was no time to lose, so he grabbed Amy’s hand and pulled her.82ZAo
16Dz“Get up, or you’ll regret it later!”xXyoi9
Os4yYc“Alright, alright. Fine. Girls, wake up everyone. It seems Jis has something to say.”H2aqU7
hrRj“Ahh… so tiring. What is it?”JYuNL7
ID90Meanwhile, the boys came down the stairs rubbing their sleepy eyes. Shirone, feeling guilty for having stayed awake unnecessarily at night and losing hours of sleep, peeked toward the girls’ room.XSaBca
LiraArin and Tess were fixing the blankets, and Amy was being dragged out by Jis with sleepy eyes.F9dC9
8IxwvOn“This better be important. I’m going to hit you twice for entering the room.”Ax5jb
WGQbFM“Whatever! When you hear it, you’ll change your mind!”ZXrw6
1vkhOhAfter several inconveniences, everyone gathered in the living room.ooW
oTleJ1FJis thought about the best moment to speak without making his friends die of a heart attack, and opened his mouth.YZ8
g2HXZ3“Do you know what day it is today?”oFC
whQ“No. Your birthday?”okub
TaQpL“No! It’s the day that comes once every 10 years…!”8CHAcc
36pt5At that moment, Yuna, who had woken up late, ran out of the girls’ room and shouted,it1lf
ZWL“Brother! Kaios! Kaios!”TPvSb8
gKZLJiNShirone tilted his head and asked.nL1W
6sdbcTI“What is Kaios?”aEj
TQuIJis, not to be outdone by Yuna, shouted even louder.CemTn3
eM35k“Water dragon! The water dragon Kaios is coming this way!”BkKRh1
DHQ8UAN***9fI
rvNFy“Sir, go a bit faster!”UfD
N1WmCPThe carriage carrying Shirone’s group sped toward the port.pbL
xSS9Amy bit her lips anxiously. Since they had no time to prepare, she was still in her pajamas.ieZ2V
