Volume 4 - CH 56.3
Act 4-56.3: Crossroad of Fate(Side: Somni Barrel)
Somni opened his eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling.
「This place is…」
He scanned his surroundings with his still muddy head, and finally recalled the nightmarish reality――
「LYLA!」
Somni jumped out of his bed to confirm the safety of the girl that he tried to protect with his last bit of pride as a knight.
That moment, the peculiar alcohol smell on the bed sheet finally reached his nasal cavity. Making him to realize that this place was the sickbay.
「OI, WHY ARE YOU SUDDENLY SHOUTING LYLA-SAN’S NAME THE MOMENT YOU WOKE UP!?」
A handsome youth with light brown hair seized Somni by his collar, staring into his eyes as he heard him. Though it had nothing to do with Somni, he knew the name of the youth who seized his collar. Roman Heineman, one of the supermen who received the gift of spear king.
He was the owner of overwhelming talent which couldn’t be compared to his small one.
「YEAH! I’M THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO CALL DEAR BIG SIS BY HER NAME!」
Roman’s voice was followed by another voice. When Somni turned to the direction of the voice, he saw a blonde-haired girl with bob cut glaring at him with anger. And beside her was――
「I see, you’re safe eh…」
A beautiful girl with long wavy blonde hair―― Lyla Hellner.
Thank goodness. Seeing her safe like this made me feel that it’s worth to sacrifice my left arm to save her. Let’s just say that her safety is the reward of my effort.
「Eh? My left arm?」
He found that his left arm, that was supposed to be severed, was just fine, as good as new. As he wondered if he was still in a dream, he realized that the current situation felt too real for a that to be true. It was undoubtedly a reality. Most likely, his arm was healed by the Babel. Upon a closer look, he did saw a shallow, almost invisible trace of cut.
Anyhow, let’s inquire the current situation first.
「How did I ended up in this place?」
Lyla shook her head and,
「I’ve no idea, I’ve been unconscious the whole time and by the time I woke up, I was already in the sickbay. Right, Lumine?」
「Yup. It’s as you say, Sis!」
The girl with bob-cut nodded grandly as she replied with bright smile on her face.
「That wasp user bastard, I’ll make sure he pays for what he did to us the next time we meet!」
Roman punched the palm of his left hand with an enraged face when he said so.
「Hey, Big sis… What about him?」
When Lumine asked with upturned gaze, the girl’s face flushed red as she entwined her hands together,
「Kai is safe and sound. He came for a visit a while before you guys woke up.」
Lyla replied with a smile brimming with innocence and joy. Her smile became even more profound upon seeing Lumine heave a sigh of relief.
「H-Humph! I-It’s not like I’m happy seeing him safe and sound!」
Maybe because she noticed the profound smile on Lyla’s face, Lumine rejected it, puffing her cheeks as she placed her arm on her hips.
「Okay-okay, I know already.」
Seeing Lumine acting like that, Lyla patter her head, nodding with gentle smile on her face, as if she was coaxing a sulking child.
「I-I’m serious!」
Lumine shouted at Lyla with flushed red cheeks. Thus, Somni realized that the bob cut girl was Kai Heineman’s acquaintance too. He then remembered that Kai Heineman’s birthplace was fortress city Lamour. Thus, it might be natural for him to be the acquaintance of the spear king too.
「Lyla, what happened to Egg’s corpse?」
Even if only his head remained, he wanted to deliver Egg’s corpse back to the latter’s parent. He would then ask for the dead boy’s parents for forgiveness. It was his mission, and duty as the one who involved Egg in his trouble, albeit by accident. That was his true feelings.
Hearing that, Lyla frowned, tilting her head lightly to the side and,
「Corpse? Egg is still alive you know.」
Somni was about to refute Lyla. Because he saw the moment when Egg got beheaded. He had no doubt about it since he saw Egg’s last moment with his own eyes.
「No, I’m sure that he already――」
The door of the sick bay opened up with a bang the moment he was trying to say something,
「I’VE BROUGHT THE FOOD!」
A black-haired youth with burly build entered the room with bag of cloth in his hand. The moment that person entered Somni’s sight――
「E-E-EGG!?」
He couldn’t help but shout in confusion while pointing at Egg. His reaction was only natural because the Egg he saw stood right there without any physical defect.
「Uhm? Who do you reckon I am then?」
「HAH! You should’ve died back then right?」
The spear king―― Roman was bringing up the topic to Egg as if mocking the latter.
「So cruel. I’m still alive you know.」
Somni walked with staggered manner till he arrived by Egg’s side who was still pouting and,
「…」
He touched Egg’s body as if trying to confirm something.
「W-What are you doing, Somni-san!!? Stop, you’re creeping me out!!」
Seeing Egg’s cramped smile, Somni felt relieved as if he had just been released from the abyss of despair and fell on his rear with a smile on his face.
