PART 2

When I noticed, her voice sounded distant and I couldn't hear properly.

I didn't want to recall something that ate into me.

[My back curled into a ball.

[Wai… ou…. ineng? HEY?!]

[Ugh! Ah… kuh! Goho, gohoh!] (TN: He's groaning and coughing. I don't want to put 'Cough, cough!')

Probably to check my situation, she came near me and grabbed my shoulders, the pain shot throughout my body.

My field of vision is red.

[KYAAA!? WHAT IS THIS!? YOU, HAVEN'T THE DREAMING ILLNESS' SYMPTOMS SUBSIDED!!?]

The blood I spat out dyed her red.

My eyes are spinning. It was as if my surroundings were moving in circles.

From the shock that hit me, I knew that I fell from my wheelchair.

The floor,

I can see it──

Everything stopped.

Within my fading consciousness, I felt like I heard something.

Was it the sound of Rafael entering the room?

He's probably shocked, when he came to check things out inside, I'm vomiting blood and is collapsed on the floor after all.

My body is invaded by darkness.

What was fortunate for me was that, I couldn't feel any pain within the darkness.

The moment I thought I'd sink down into a place that's like an ocean floor, I could see sparks of light flas.h.i.+ng behind my eyelids.

Excruciating pain runs throughout my body and my consciousness is awakened.

Even though I never wanted to feel it again.

[Ugh…. ah….]

[Sheryl-sama! Sheryl-sama….!]

My body is screaming everywhere.

There is a window beyond my thinly opened eyes, and since I can see outside, I mobilize my consciousness there.

Bloom.

Bloom.

Bloom.

Bloom into profusion.

I expanded the various spells I know to its maximum and invoked it outside the window.

I only wanted to shorten the activation time as much much as possible, but I ended up underestimating a small-scale elementary magic.

Since my only purpose was to consume a lot of Mana, I didn't use ice magic which I am compatible with. I chose to use the flower magic I used at the Fighting Tournament which efficiency is lower compared to a common magic.

After I finished the activation, the pain subsided quicker than I expected.

Even though the part of my body which caused the inflammation will not get healed immediately, only the pain has subsided.

[Sheryl-sama, how are you feeling?]

[The worst…. has gotten a bit better, I guess.]

Nicole who looks like he's about to cry looks at my face.

When I reached out my hand, he grabbed it.

Towards the warmth transmitted, I realize that I am still alive.

[Please have some water.]

I had my head lifted up and the cup was placed near my mouth.

I can feel the pain in my throat when swallowing, but it's unbearable.

[How about some lozenges?]

[I'll have it.]

Just when I was about to think I want to have it, Nicole places one in my mouth.

With this, my hoa.r.s.e voice will also probably get better.

[It looks like magic has been activated successfully.]

[Noe.]

Noe was on the opposite side of the bed from Nicole's. When our eyes met, he gently stroked my head.

[It might be hard to see it from here, but flowers of different attributes are blooming outside.

After being told that, I turned my eyes towards the window even though I know I couldn't see it,

The surrounding atmosphere was probably disrupted because of multiple attributes randomly appearing, small outbreaks of lightning can be seen.

[I want to hug you, but I guess it's impossible right now.]

[It's fine if you do it lightly.]

Because the Dreaming Illness' symptoms have subsided, I probably won't feel any pain as long as they don't hug me tightly.

As I loosely spread my arms, Noe immediately hugged me to his chest.

Noe's soft hair fall on my cheek.

[I'm so glad…. seriously…. ugh….]

As I stroked the back of Noe who has a tearful voice, I realized that the one who most likely to arrive first at a time like this is not present.

[Big Brother is….?]

[He is waiting outside the room. Bellom-sensei, too.]

[Bellom-sensei, too?]

Did he drop by the school by chance or did he went out of his way to come here?

When I was surprised, Nicole asked Noe to call Bellom-sensei over.

[We have urgent matters to talk about, so please don't let Jule-sama inside the room. We won't be able to advance in our conversation.]

[I understand.]

He guessed what Nicole implied with his words.

Something happened.

Other than me collapsing.

If it's for visitation, I don't know why my brother is excluded.

[Nicole…]

[I'm also feeling sorry, but please let us talk after Bellom-sama comes in.]
