Chapter 395 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [166] (1/2)

395. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [166]

At the end of Bacchus-san’s line of sight was Ria on her back.

Her appearance, stained with blood, was so painful to look at that I instinctively wanted to look away.

But I strengthened my heart and looked at Ria closely.

I saw “tree roots” wrapped around her ankles. And her abdomen slowly moving up and down.

「Ria…?」

I dragged my heavy body and slowly moved my legs.

Her smooth skin had regained tension and complexion. As I listened closely, I heard a small breathing sound.

「Ha, haha… Is this… a dream?」

I put my hand on her chest to check for a heartbeat. I felt a rhythmic, strong heartbeat.

「No way… Is this… real?」

I trembled before the unexpected miracle. Her eyelids opened up slightly, revealing her beautiful azure eyes.

「Nhmm…? A, llen…?」

「Ria!」

「W-Whoa, hey!?」

I impulsively hugged Ria tightly.

「Thank goodness…. Thank goodness…」

Various emotions swelled in my heart endlessly. Large beads of tears rolled down my cheeks.
