After Hajime recovered Nointo’s remains, Yue used Reproduction magic to restore all the wounds. The strong body of “God’s Apostle” had become Kaori’s new vessel, it was a great success when “establishing” the soul to it.
Unfortunately, although the organ-like magic stone which supplied an infinite supply of magical power was reproduced, it was not functioning, however, Nointo’s inherent magic “Decomposition”, her dual wielding swords and skills, silver wings and feathers were useable.
It appears that Nointo’s body remembers all previous combat experiences and knows how to use it, although she’s unable to fly right now because the body is still new, once she gets accustomed to it, she’ll likely be able to exert “God’s Apostle’s” true abilities. Now that she can directly manipulate magic, she’s well qualified to be shoulder to shoulder with Hajime and them.
Kaori who was happy that her spirit was successfully established onto the body was an incredibly amazing sight. After all, she had the appearance of a cool beauty and she was making a fuss with “Kya, Kya” noises and a big smile. The opponent which Hajime was just fighting with not too long ago was making such a happy face and in addition she was clinging onto him, as expected, even Hajime didn’t know this would happen and his eyebrows turned into a 八.
By the way, Kaori’s real body was being stored in the “Treasure Warehouse” while receiving Yue’s freezing treatment. A beauty frozen in ice created a very mysterious feeling. Since cells that are ruined after being thawed out can be restored by Reproduction magic, if she wanted to go back to her body, the possibility of it is extremely high.
[.....I see. Ha~a, Kaori, you’ve always been a bit spontaneous since a long time ago but this time supases all of those]
After hearing Hajime’s explanation, Shizuku placed a hand on her head to suppress her headache. Her headache was worse than the time when she was asked what Hajime’s favorite game was so she visited the game store, only to have mistakenly charge into the X-rated game corner.
[Ehehe, sorry for worrying you Shizuku-chan]
[.....It’s fine. As long as you’re still alive then……]
Shizuku said while smiling at Kaori who had an apologetic expression, then she suddenly straightened her posture and changed her expression to a serious one, then turned towards Hajime and them and bowed her head.
[Nagumo-kun, Yue-san, Shia-san, Teio-san. Thank you very much for saving my best friend. Although my debts are continuously increasing and I have nothing I can return in exchange…..I’ll never forget this favor throughout my life. If there’s anything I can do, then feel free to ask. I’ll do my best to respond to it]
[.......You’re as honest as ever. Ma~a, don’t mind it so much. We just helped out our own companion]
Shizuku showed a wry smile towards Hajime’s light reply. It wasn’t just Kaori, they were all saved as well. There lives were saved twice at that. Even after being saved from their predicaments, most likely the results of the clash was convenient for Hajime’s own circumstances as well, his state of mind was already something that you could only laugh at how different it was.
And, somehow the calm mood also had a hint of spitefulness in it as well, Shizuku sharply pointed out.
[.......Considering all that, although you were also worried about me, you gave me the medicine for Kouki’s sake right?]
[If you had broken then Kaori would have been troublesome….]
[Trou, troublesome you say…...that’s mean, Hajime-san]
Replying to Shizuku’s sarcastic remark, Kaori’s tsukkomi also came through, [besides….], Hajime continued.
[Just like a certain Sensei has said, I should not walk down the “Lonely life”. Though I can’t afford to pay attention to everything, if it’s just this much then……]
[! Nagumo-kun……]
Aiko who had kept silent while Shizuku and Hajime and them had their conversation, looked towards Hajime with moistened eyes that were overwhelmed by emotions due to Hajime’s words.
