Volu in the bath, sitting in hot water and watching the sunset slowly setting

Even though this incident was already deeical Disaster' in Towa's history, the dah another three days have passed since I woke up, the state of eency wasn't lifted

Shrine Maidens accepted anyone who's been afflicted with 'Eclipses' fog, or who lost their home or family due to white youmas They also established relief centers around the country, providing first aid to whoever needed it the es to people and property were not all, since the leylines also sustained great dae due to the overabundance ofthe incident

And since only dragons could really restore the leylines, I thought that I need to get better as soon as possible and join the efforts at rebuilding as lost

However, everyone else just wouldn't have it, saying things like: 'You must rest!' and other stuff like that

Aru even said at one point: 'Just leave the leyline restoration to ood idea, it was true that restoring the leylines was part of Aru's duty, and he needed to start doing that at some point in time But this ti the whole process

It looks like Aru was receiving so those last few days He pleaded so ive in and let hiet the job done

And since Graer of so

Additionally, Ten ordered her underlings to do some repair work on the leylines and infrastructure in advance, so there were times when they would arrive on the spot only to find that it was all nicely repaired and there was little to no work to be done there

Mikoto was helping other Shrine Maidens, Nectar was creating medicine for the injured in relief centers, so I was sure that there was so that I could do to help out as well……

As a e public bath for everyone to enjoy as amy brick to the reconstruction efforts! Hahaha! Take that!

…… Well, I thought it ood idea to just let the people who lost their home or fa Aru to take care of things out there, I was now relaxing in the aters as theelse

And even though I just took a bath and was feeling refreshed, h as I recall the story that I heard fro in Kyle's arical seal created by Karursan herself

In other words, Belga could not do anything like trying to escape or use ic, even if she wanted to

The seals were also placed upon her uns, since they were more of like the extension of her body rather than simple tools They were also placed under a very strick surveillance

We confira, but as far as we knew she had no ether with Graed to confirm that it was all due to a curse that Lute most probably placed upon her

This curse was also rather annoying, since its roots reached so deep that they e with her soul, and any attea

Kyle was visiting her every single day if he only had some spare tiround

I thought that Kyle would take that blow hard, but surprisingly enough he seemed to be rather calm about this whole situation

「That attitude, it's the saa, just like the time when I first met her And just because she lost all of herher for the first ti it would be best to just leave Belga to Kyle for now, Nectar and I decided to mind our own businesses and not meddle in their affairs

I also wanted to see if we could a, but it seeons

「Say, Nectar? Care to explain what are you doing here?」

I said that, sensing Nectar's presence I got down into the water a bit Wasn't that suspicious?

「I wanted to check on you and see if you were resting properly I have a night shi+ft today at the relief center, so I will go there after dinner」

「I' you, I'm completely fine now You don't have to worry so much……」

「Please re too long in the hot water?」

Yup It was ic, and I couldn't judge my limits properly

「No, no, no It won't happen this time, I promise」

「Sure, sure」

Both Ten and Gramps reprimanded ain I didn't wanted to have a conversation like that ever again

So I needed to be extra careful froain

But speaking about Gramps, he said that the reason why he ca for Lute

Ten also said that it was still too early to re-seal the 'Eclipse', and thinking about it, she and Gramps must be the most well-oriented people in here when it comes to the recent events

「Are you worried?」

「Yes, but I think it will all work out so friends and I partner that I could always count on

When you have soht beside you, you can do prettythat

However, Nectar's blue eyes were bri with deters Just so that I can protect you」

「You're good enough the way you are If it wasn't for you, Nectar, I would have ended up assi, Lava, and everyone else knows that, too Even Lily-san, who is always on an on how she wants to surpass you But just because dragons are strong, it doesn't le problem of this world should be pushed onto their shoulders I want to be able to help you in equal way I want to be able to protect you properly」

Nectar's expression changed to that of a wry s him like that

Nectar must have been really worried for me It was always hi down, so this time around maybe it was my turn to do just the sa the research on the gate to Taisha and developing the temporary contract systeh this crisis Honestly, I don't think I'll ever be able to reach his level of ic ate properly, we all wouldn't be able to evacuate out of Taisha, and if his words didn't pull my back froht now

It wasn't him that was reliant on ht now, I cas were the same as mine

When I realized that the saht

At the same time, Nectar smiled in that really funny, but at the sauess I should explain this properly

「Think about the kind of relationshi+p Sen-san and Ligurila have at the currentlike that would be possible for us and it wouldn't suit us at all」

「The two of the on?」

「They sure do」

Their relationshi+p is that they tend to work together towards the sareat thing in an out of itself, but I don't think it would work out for us

Hearing hedat me with affection

「I should have known you would say so like that, Lava This is so like you Why didn't I noticed that sooner?」

「I was surprised that you were thinking the sa myself, Nectar」
