Once the fight was over, Yue and the others ran over to Hajime. Or in Yue’s case, flew into his arms using gravity magic. Hajime turned to her in surprise, then gave her a gentle smile that was the complete opposite of the grim expression he’d had on until now.

“Mmm... Hajime.”

“Yep, it’s me. How’d your trial go, Yue? I guess it was pretty hard, huh?”

Yue smiled, glad that Hajime had picked up on her feelings right away. Though it had been more worrying than hard, since now Yue was unsure what the future held. She was embarrassed she’d let such a slight problem rattle her resolve, but Hajime didn’t seem bothered at all and hugged her tight. Shea and Kaori knew about Yue’s circumstances—Yue had told Kaori while the two had been having their own fight—so they weren’t surprised at how spoiled she was acting. Ryutarou, Suzu, Tio, and Shizuku, however, were. Hajime looked over the rest of his party members and nodded.

“Looks like everyone made it out alright. Let’s get going, then.”

“Wait, hang on! We still need to heal Kouki-kun!”

Kaori looked down at Kouki, who was lying spread-eagled on the floor. Ryutarou and Suzu nodded in agreement.

“Do we really have to?”

“Yes, we really have to!”

Kaori held her ground, and Ryutarou and Suzu nodded once more. Hajime grimaced, but he didn’t stop Kaori from going over to Kouki.

“You said he absorbed his copy, right? I think doing that damaged his soul. It’ll take a while to properly cure him.”

He’d pushed himself far past his physical limits by combining Overload and the copy’s strengthening, so his body was in just as bad shape as his mind. Of course, his physical injuries could easily be cured with restoration magic, but his spirit was a different matter. A human’s spirit was quite fragile, and Kouki had harmed it quite severely by fusing with his copy. If Kaori wasn’t careful in repairing it, he could wake up with a completely different personality. In fact, if she failed it was entirely possible he’d turn into a cheery guy who’d say things like, “Sup, everyone! It’s a great morning today, isn’t it!? Hahahahahaha!”

As Kaori explained all this to Hajime, his expression grew more and more reluctant. He unconsciously hugged Yue tighter, which she was of course perfectly fine with.

“Whatever you do, just don’t heal him fully. As long as his life’s not in danger that’s good enough, right? The last thing I want is him waking up.”

“Huh? Why...? Oh yeah, I guess that might be best.”

Kaori cocked her head in confusion, but then instantly realized what Hajime was getting at. Knitting her brows in worry, Kaori began healing Kouki just enough to avoid permanent damage.

“Hey Nagumo, I realize Kouki tried to kill you and all, but... you know...”

“Nagumo-kun...”

Ryutarou and Suzu, who hadn’t guessed what Hajime’s intentions were, looked unhappy with his decision. They thought Hajime was doing this to spite Kouki because he didn’t like the hero. But at the same time, Kouki had tried to kill Hajime so they couldn’t really argue.
