It's the first time I've seen Ruijerd laying horizontally."
"Rudeus don't talk yet. You were just spitting up blood."
"I'm already fine. It was just the portion that was remaining in my throat."
Even while saying that, I didn't move from Eris's lap.
I don't want to move.
I want to stay here forever.
If I were to turn over right now, I wonder if she would hit me in objection.
Only those sorts of things were floating into my head.
I wonder if they're survival instincts coming out.
When people are about to die it seems they feel like leaving offspring after all..
I can't really tell for sure though.
Yeah, it's already fine.
I'll go with not thinking about anything difficult.
I'll continue lying down.
"Living is so wonderful."
While saying that I turned my body around, and embraced Eris's hips.
I took a deep breath, and I have a feeling that I caught on to a somehow bittersweet scent.
"Rudeus...it seems you're considerably healthy."
"Hn? Somehow, you know, I feel like a variety of things are overflowing."
More than usual even.
I'm sure it's because of that man known as Orsted.
Or else, maybe it's because I saw the dream with the Hitogami.
I'll say it once more, but I don't really have the feeling that I wandered the boundary between life and death.
However, it wasn't a mistake that I feel more energetic when I woke up.
"Then, will you be all right even if I hit you?"
Eris's trembling voice came out.
Great anger it seems.
Well, it can't be helped.
Even though she was worried about me, I suddenly sexually harassed her after all.
Even I would get angry, that is...
"Indeed it does."
I was hit.
Lightly with a bop.
And then, I was pulled in and had my head embraced.
I could feel the soft sensation of Eris's chest in my cheek.
Deeper inside the beating of her heart and from above the quiet sobbing as well.
"...U..gusu..."
Eris cried.
She quietly cried.
"I'm glad..."
Eris whispered that.
I was exhausted so I patted her back.
