After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

The weapon that had just been inserted was pulled out again and pointed at a ruin not far away.

Aize also turned his gaze over.

But apart from a shadow, nothing suspicious was found.

Then he asked:

"What's wrong? Is there anything over there?"

Uriel also stood there in a daze, revealing a puzzled expression, and then shook her head:

"No, not really, but just now I did... I'm sorry, maybe it was an illusion?"

Having said that, he inserted the holy sword back again.

Aize frowned and looked over there a few more times, full of confusion.

Uriel's senses were so sharp that they had reached the level of the law of causality, and she had never made a mistake in the past.

Could she be having an illusion?

But since Uriel didn't feel anything afterwards, and he couldn't see anything, there was nothing he could do even if there really was something.

Let's leave it at that for now.

He nodded and said:

"It's okay, let's go back and rest."

The two turned and left.

And behind them, in the shadow where Uriel's holy sword had just pointed, in a corner where the dim moonlight could not reach, at this moment, there was indeed a figure standing.

With slender facial features, she looks like a woman.

He was wearing a white robe, and his facial features were shrouded in darkness and could not be seen clearly.

She just stood there so simply.

Don't hide or dodging.

Watching the two of them leave, she took a step forward without saying a word and followed behind.

During the war, Tafia implemented a strict curfew.

No civilians are allowed to go out at will, and there are constant patrols passing through every corner of the town.

But no one noticed this figure.

Sometimes, she would even happen to block the patrol's path.

But if she just stepped aside a little, this group of fully armed and focused soldiers would stride past her as if they didn't exist at all.

The white figure walked on the streets of Tafia, unreachable by anyone.

Finally, I followed the two of them to the lord's mansion.

As the city defense command center, this place is under the strictest protection.

Shields, light and dark sentries, and even the inconspicuous alarm spells set up by Villian.

But at this moment, it seems as if they have collectively failed.

No one could detect the existence of this figure.

She walked into the yard and the building in a dignified and unobstructed manner. After looking around, she went up the stairs.

He even casually pushed open a closed door and walked in - the guards standing at the door didn't notice anything unusual.

On the other side of the door is a bedroom.

One of the guest rooms belonging to the manor house.

At this moment, Alicia was lying quietly on the bed here, with her eyes open but not moving.

She has been like this since her previous injury.

In addition to assisting in the battle, Villian has worked with other doctors and magicians to use various methods, but has never been able to wake her up.

Even the problem has not been determined.

Helpless, Aize was already considering taking her to the Holy City after the battle was over and using his connections to mobilize the Scholars Association for help.

In short, the white figure stopped in front of the bed.

She gently raised her hand, and an object like a magic circle appeared in her hand. The light emitted from it was already above Alicia's head, and then swept across her whole body.

"Physiological state, stable. Conceptual fluid operation state, restricted, observation mechanism shut down, thought link disconnected... Hmm, I see."

The figure muttered to himself for a while, then nodded and sighed softly.

He put his hands back in his pockets and said:

"For such a small matter, you risked being discovered and called me here? Self-repair is already underway. Even if we leave her alone, she will wake up within seven standard days in this world."

After a pause, she curled her lips in displeasure and added:

"Whose creation do you think she is? Even if she's not perfect, she's just... Tsk, so annoying."

No one spoke in the room, but the visitor seemed to have heard something, shook his head, and spoke to someone who came from nowhere.

"Okay, don't bother me. Now that I'm here, I'll definitely do it."

As she spoke, she snapped her fingers lightly.

A faint, firefly-like light appeared out of thin air behind her, swaying and flickering in the dark room, and then landed on Alicia's forehead.

A faint, ripple-like blue light flowed out from it, slowly spreading over Alicia's entire body, enveloping the pink-haired girl.

The mysterious visitor also stretched out his hand and waved it in the air, as if controlling something.

After a moment, the light merged into Alicia's body and disappeared, and the room returned to darkness again.

Alicia—although she didn't wake up immediately, she closed her eyes. They were no longer open like a broken doll, but more like she was asleep.

"It's done. It's just such a trivial thing and you... Ouch, ouch, ouch. I know it's his wish. Otherwise, what else could make you so motivated?"

As he spoke, the mysterious visitor sighed, pressed his shoulders and moved his arms.

"...boring, I'm going back now. You can do whatever you want with the rest of the matter."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

He still opened the door and walked in openly, without any concealment in the public eye, yet left without being noticed by anyone.

Just like that, it disappeared into the night.

Almost at the same time, in the pitch-black bedroom, the pink-haired girl sat up suddenly.

"I...what am I doing? Huh?"

He touched his face in confusion, then looked around with his usual lifeless eyes.

"Where is this...?"

The strange room, strange furnishings, and fragmented memories made the girl very confused.

After being stunned for a while, she turned over and got out of bed, without even putting on her shoes, and walked over and opened the door.

Then, under the guards' shocked gazes, he walked into the corridor of the mansion.

Even greeted each other:

"Good evening. Um... may I ask where this place is? What's the situation now?"

"Uh……"

The guards didn't answer, they just looked at each other.

Then, he finally reacted and shouted anxiously:

"Hurry! Go and tell Lord Aize and Lord Sheen that Miss Alicia has woken up! Go quickly!"

Chapter 149 The Leader's Conflict

The guard's report made Aize, who was about to move on to the next task, almost immediately stop his original plan and stumble over at the fastest speed.

Also accompanying her was Villian, who had always been on standby by her side.

When Aize actually saw Alicia, who had been paralyzed for two days, standing in front of him, he was numb.

"H-How did you wake up!?"

He subconsciously grabbed the other person's shoulders, looked left and right for a few times, and then asked this.

"Could it be that... the coma is actually healing itself, and there's no need for any additional treatment or anything!?"

The pink-haired girl blinked, looked around, smiled sheepishly, and scratched her hair.

Then he smiled and said:

"No, actually I don't know either. My most recent memory is from the battle. I don't know why I fell into a coma, and I don't know why I woke up."

"..."

Ai didn't say anything, but just frowned slightly.

Even after trying every possible means, no clues were found.

But he "woke up on his own" at this time. Is this really a coincidence?

It wasn't impossible—perhaps Alicia's unknown essence, in a completely inaccessible part, had the ability to repair itself.

And it was repaired right now.

But if it wasn't a coincidence, but some external factor, then the slight difference that Uriel had just detected might be related to this.

But if this is true, then this question, like Alicia's mysterious identity, is destined to have no answer for a while.

Seeing Aize's eyebrows slowly twisted into a ball, the pink-haired girl waved her hand and said with a smile:

"Don't be so serious. I'm fine now. All those things are fine now."

"…Anything is fine?"

Aize raised his chin slightly and narrowed his eyes.

As for Alicia's specific situation, it really doesn't matter what happens right now. After all, thinking about it further is just a waste of time and brainpower.

However, one code equals one code.

Aize was so angry that he didn't hesitate to reach out and grab the other person's face. He pulled it hard and started shaking it up and down.

"It's all good!? Do you have the right to say that? If you hadn't disobeyed orders and added drama without permission, how could things have turned out like this?! Tell me!"

The girl, who was being unilaterally grasped, uttered an indistinct sound, then hurriedly said:

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

But Aize didn't listen at all.

"Everything is fine!? How can everything be fine!? You *****, these past few days, we have been so worried and spent so much energy on you!? Now that you wake up, the first thing you want to say is that everything is fine!? I *****——"

"Woo——Aize is really angry..."

Alicia even started to cry.

Villian, who was watching from the side, sighed, patted Aize's shoulder, and said:

"Alright, that's enough. Doesn't Alicia have to be kind? It would be too pitiful if it goes on like this."

The pink-haired girl's hair was pulled into a mess, and tears even began to flash in the corners of her eyes.

Aize finally sighed and let go of his hand.

"...There won't be a next time, understand?!"

"Um...I'm sorry."

Alicia covered her face, which had even turned red from being pinched, and nodded.

Aize, who had calmed down a bit, waved his hand:

"That's all, go and rest for a while. I still have a mission to complete. Some things can be discussed after the battle is over."
