This is not Meredith at all!
The leader of our liberator camp would never be so frank and cute!
Millardy Lessin is an extremely annoying girl, so don't underestimate her!
An inexplicable anger surged in everyone's hearts.
At this time, someone made a "puff" sound. It was Mei'er.
“It’s really, really vicious…”
She probably meant cute. After all, Mei'er's nostrils were dripping with red juice. Even though she was holding it down with her hands, it still kept flowing out like a muddy stream.
Ke Lin quickly took out a handkerchief and gave it to her.
"I, I say, Mimi? Are you...are you okay?"
Ignoring Oscar, who remained motionless and at the mercy of Meredith, Lutilis approached and spoke with concern.
Compared to Natsu and the others, her friendship with Meredith was shorter.
So from an objective point of view, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Meredith having such a close affection for Oscar.
However, she also didn't think that Meredith was the type of girl who would openly express her affection. Knowing this, she was filled with confusion.
"Right, right, Meredith shouldn't be in a good condition right now!"
"Natsu!? Have you figured out the reason?"
"It must be because I've been on the brink of life and death for so long that my brain has become more clumsy than usual. That must be it!"
"Natsu...you're a genius!"
Meredith displayed her usual cute demeanor, but this unusual situation actually made Natsu and Bandu's heads spin. They panicked too much.
At this time, whether it was because she saw everyone in a panic or because she was simply satisfied, Mireille finally let Oscar go.
The face that originally showed a hint of smile, then the expression disappeared again.
“…‘Calamity’.”
“Ugh!?”
“Ahaha!?”
""""His Majesty!?""""
Natsu and Bando were knocked to the ground, and even Lutilis was caught in the act.
Although she seemed to be enjoying the feeling of hugging Oscar, she seemed to have heard the rude remarks made by Natsu and the others.
“W-why even me…!?”
This question was indeed reasonable. The Pasha present, Creed in the corridor, and other servants were all panicked and at a loss, looking at Meredith with confused eyes.
Meredith tilted her head slightly, looking so adorable.
"...I thought you'd be happy. Just consider it a celebration of victory."
How inexplicable! The servants all complained in their hearts at the same time.
"Thank you for your effort! Licking the floor feels so good!"
After understanding what Meredith meant, Her Majesty the Queen thanked her joyfully.
The servants rolled their eyes. The Prime Minister and the Captain of the Imperial Guards held their foreheads in annoyance.
The scene became increasingly chaotic.
However, Miss Meredith didn't seem to mind at all. She maintained a calm and nonchalant demeanor. Honestly, she was still going her own way, just in a different way.
"...Is that Colleen?"
Then she noticed Colleen, who was patting Mei'er's head to try to stop her nosebleed, and called her with a puzzled look on her face.
"Ah... uh, long time no see, Sister Meredith."
"……Um."
"Uh... I, I'm here to help Onii-sama..."
“…I see.”
They stared at each other, and then Colleen's eyes shifted slightly. This completely different attitude from her usual seemed to make Colleen feel uncomfortable.
However, her reasons were different from those of Oscar and others.
Because, in Colleen's mind, Meredith was "a caring and strong sister who played the clown to inspire her companions." Of course, Oscar and the others had warned her that it was a misunderstanding, but Colleen still believed it. Therefore, Colleen felt that what she was showing now was just her true nature that she usually concealed.
Furthermore, Colleen already had a deep admiration and respect for Meredith, so being watched silently like this would have been very embarrassing. Colleen's cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
At this time, Meredith waved to Colleen and asked her to come over.
What happened this time?! Everyone present thought so, but they could only wait and see as Colleen obediently walked over with short, quick steps.
“Huwa!?”
Meredith took her in her arms and held her tight.
"……Thank you."
"Eh? Thank you for what?"
Corinne looked bewildered. Meredith continued in a gentle tone that would have startled others:
"...The amulet saved my life."
In the struggle to the limit, facing the apostle's unreasonable power, Meredith was almost defeated. However, when she was cut, she saw the "amulet" spurting out with blood foam, and she mustered the strength to rally again.
It was a sky-colored necklace, crafted from materials gathered by Colleen and processed by Ruth. While it lacked any special effects, it was imbued with a sincere desire for peace.
"...So, thank you."
Colleen didn't know the details, but from Meredith's attitude, she could clearly tell that the amulet had indeed played a protective role. Colleen felt like crying.
"...That's great. Being able to help Sister Meredith...is truly wonderful."
Colleen also hugged Meredith tightly, as if she was carefully feeling the emotions of the moment.
The originally chaotic scene was suddenly shrouded in gentle silence.
Although no emotion could be seen on Meredith's face, one could still feel that she was full of gratitude, cherishment and love.
And Colleen's full love, joy and peace of mind.
The way they embraced each other was like a beautiful painting, even emitting a sacred feeling that could not be offended, which made the people around them deeply moved and indescribable.
After a while.
At the Pasha's command, the servants and soldiers dispersed, as they were to discuss the status of Miredhi.
Currently, the only person present besides Oscar and his group was Pasha.
Creed had to greet the visitors who kept arriving, especially important figures in the Republic, and explain the situation to them, so he had to leave. Meanwhile, Bartram had to go to the forest to resupply. Although he had been reborn, he had lost a lot of his size, so he often went to the forest to forage when he wasn't caring for Meredy.
Anyway, now that the situation had finally calmed down, Oscar asked with a serious face.
"So...Miledi, how do you feel about your current situation?"
Oscar regained his composure, and the eyes behind his glasses contained a sharper light than usual, like a clever analyst.
After letting go of Colleen, Mireddy returned to her dazed look.
Rather than saying she was calm, it would be more accurate to say she had no aura at all.
Judging from his usual inexplicably energetic behavior, his current state couldn't be explained by the excuse of "just waking up."
As expected, Meredith responded to what was said, but only tilted her head slightly.
So, Pasha explained to Oscar and the others. When Meredith just woke up, she happened to come over to check on the situation, so she stayed to deal with Meredith.
"She seems completely unaware. However, she doesn't appear to have lost her ability to think. I've explained some of the post-war situation to her, and she seems to understand."
When Meredith woke up, the first thing she asked was about the safety of her companions. After that, if you asked her a question, she would think about it and answer if she could.
When thirsty, he will ask for water.
There are no problems with memory and living ability.
"When someone teases me, I'll definitely protest. So, my personality hasn't really changed that much."
"Judging from the way he treated Colleen just now, it doesn't seem like he's lost his feelings."
"But...how should I describe it...well, if I really have to say it, wouldn't it be more appropriate to say that I've lost my 'motivation'?"
"No, rather than saying it's lost, it should be said that it's 'controlled to the minimum necessary'."
"Hmm. Perhaps she hasn't fully recovered yet... In other words, in order to suppress the consumption of energy, her will, thoughts, words and actions have become passive. That's possible."
Natsu, Bandu, Lutilis, Mei, and Pasha expressed their opinions one after another.
Oscar was the only one with a very solemn expression, his brows furrowed as deep as a canyon.
He seemed to have thought of something deeper—the reason why things had become like this. And, from his perspective, the situation didn't seem optimistic.
Colleen seemed to share the same sentiment.
"Maybe this is..."
"Big Brother...Middley-sister, it feels like..."
What Ke Lin wanted to express was very clear, that is to say -
"It's the same situation as Dilan and the others..."
“““!?””””
When Natsu, Bandu, and Meier heard this, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Oscar looked at Mei'er, wanting to ask her for confirmation, and Mei nodded solemnly.
"Xiao Mi, let me cast a regeneration spell on you."
Mel placed her hand lightly on Meredith's head, as gentle as if she were caressing it, and then activated the regeneration magic.
A bright light like the morning sun enveloped Meredith's entire body.
"How does it feel?"
"?"
Meredith looked back at Mel, her eyes still dull, as if she didn't understand what she meant.
The healing magic of the Age of Gods could completely cure any injury or abnormality, as long as the target was still alive. However, it had no effect on the current Meredith.
Whatever the reason, it shouldn't have happened.
If it's just due to fatigue and you haven't fully recovered, then of course it can be cured.
However, the fact that the treatment was ineffective was undeniable. These symptoms were indeed quite similar to those of Dylan and Katie.
The Divine Weapon Creation Project—an experiment to forcibly transcribe the souls of ancient warriors.
Although Dilan and the others have regained consciousness thanks to regeneration magic, their wills are still extremely weak.
Therefore, the cause must lie in a realm beyond the reach of regeneration magic—the soul. This is a more natural inference.
Mel had been feeling guilty about this ever since Oscar and Bandu were working out.
Although healing was her specialty, it was ineffective, leaving Mei biting her lip in regret. Her hand, resting on Meredith's head, withdrew powerlessly... At this moment—
“…It’s okay.”
"what?"
Meredith placed her hand on Mel's and held her closer.
Meredith looked straight at Mel, her eyes dim but firm.
"No problem."
She said it again, and this time it was especially clear.
"Xiao Mi..."
Mei'er couldn't help but look up with emotion.
Natsu, Bando, and Lutilis had the same reaction.
