210 Memories Of Rhapsody (2/2)

”Eh?”

”Lily?!”

Her body sprang to a sitting position on her bed and no one realized she was listening all along. Hold on, wait up! She is awake all this time?!

”How is Caesar?!” were the words she spoke of a moment later.

”He's fine. He's resting in his own room. So you can just rest—”

Lily leaped from her bed and pushed Klaus before he could finish speaking— but Gray Ludwig was already in front of her, white cloth in hand. He pushed it into her mouth swiftly and a few seconds later, her legs lost its strength and she slumped to the floor ever so slowly.

”Told ya' she will do this.” Gray shrugged and carried Lily back to her bed. ”It's modified chloroform. A strong one. We can't have our patients running up and about before they heal completely, do we?”

”Lily's regeneration is nothing to scoff at...” said Alicia and Klaus at the same time.

”Anyway, we have things to do,” said Gray. ”Gheele is taking care of Neo Africa, and the war is still ongoing...”

”I will go back to Master Gheele, and then check on stuff back in Finland, and also the situation for The People's Light in Russia.” Sofeea used her Aegis to teleport soon after she said that, and the ones left dispersed to do what must be done.

Derrick and I chose to stay back in the infirmary. I went over to Lily's side and sat on a wooden chair already propped up, while Derrick went to Maltyie's side. Oh, and his daughter, Elle stayed as well.

”Ava, I'm just glad that you're alright.”

Odval came to me after Qara, Khenbish, and Ulii—who were on their beds— urged her. Something along the line of:

”Go and talk to her. She's worried about you.”

Actually, it was more than that but... yeah.

”Ava... About Hope... you see...”

”Hm?” The face I made must have been weird since Odval flinched. ”He's gonna be alright. He promised me. That Hope... took a part of my Aegis so that when I go berserk again, if ever, my Aegis wouldn't react like last time...” I said.

”Um, sorry. I shouldn't bring him up...”

”No, it's fine, honestly. I knew why he did that. After all, I can't be a normal girl with how things are, and, if my Aegis is suppressed to a point, then I'm sure my emotions will not take over me. So... yeah... it's fine, Odval.”

She smiled and patted my shoulder. ”You're strong, Ava.”

My cheeks warmed up all of a sudden. ”T-Thanks. It's just that, I have to change myself from now on. I don't want to trouble anyone for every little thing I do. So... the first step towards that is to keep my emotions in check. Yup. Gotta think before I do anything rash.”

Qara and Khenbish burst into laughter, and before Odval could reprimand them, Ulii hit them both with her wooden cane. Odval giggled at it and then covered her mouth.

”Julia saved us. Yup yup,” said Khenbish. ”d.a.m.n. I thought my arms would stay broken, but voila, it's all good now.”

Julia, the Aegis User who defected from C.U just like Ernestine. Her Aegis's specialty gave her the ability to heal almost any injury by having the affected consume her Aegis crystals. It was an ability opposite to mine, which was heavily focused on fighting.

Both of them were nice people and I could find myself talking with them for hours if I ever had the chance to.

”Maltyie.”

Everyone who was left looked at Derrick as he sat next to Maltyie's bed. Wait, is he about to...?!

”I promised to tell you my answer when we meet again... and... um... but before that, you see, is it alright if it's here?” said Derrick.

Ah, that was what bothering him. He couldn't properly tell Maltyie with us watching them (excluding the sleeping beauty Lily). Though, this was the perfect chance for him. Who knows what the future had in store for both of them, so better let it all out while they could.

”It's fine. Hehe. I don't mind. In fact, with all of them watching, and Elle too, it helps me to calm down,” said Maltyie.

”Well, I'm the one who's going to say it... so... it's kinda hard for me with the five of them watching. I don't mind Elle, but...”

”Wow. I really am forgotten, huh.”

We all s.h.i.+fted our attention to... Eugene standing at the corner of the infirmary, alone. Gloomy clouds hovered above him, shadowing his expression.

”What am I, a ghost? I'm invisible, aren't I? Welp, did I just get a cheat ability that allows me to become unconsciously invisible? I'm not transmigrated to an alternate reality, am I?”

Everyone laughed at Eugene as he spoke his frustration. Yeah, this is not bad. Hope, are you seeing this? Right now, I am happy, so please, come back...
