"Is this what it's like when you get ready to take a bath?"

Cassion looked at Ruel and sighed.

'I thought I might get wrinkles on my forehead.'

Looking at the blanket mixed with sweat and blood, Cassion counted how many blankets he had left in his head.

'I'll have to get a new one.'

"... It's noisy."

Ruel said, suppressing a scream that seemed to leak out.

"Having the energy to talk means that it's still okay."

Cassion handed the Breath over directly to Ruel, who couldn't even lift it properly.

"How long will it take?"

"Damn it..."

"Do you want me to put you to sleep?"

How painful must it have been to squeeze his arm to the point of bleeding? Wouldn't it be better to sleep so deeply that you didn't know the pain than to endure it?

Ruel looked at Cassion.

"Alright. I will wait patiently."

Thinking that he wouldn't want to show this to anyone else, Cassion dragged a chair and sat down.

After returning to this mansion, Ruel didn't even take painkillers.

After gaining the power of recovery, his body was better than before, but Mineta seemed to have caused distrust of the drug.

He had been taking poison medicine for years, so he honestly felt like he was going to get fed up with it.

"Would you like some painkillers?"

The answer was not heard.

"It's a pain reliever I bought myself. There is no poison in it."

Cassion said that he had bought it himself to assure Ruel.

It's not good to rely on medicine, but it seemed foolish to endure the pain recklessly.

Now that he had even let out a scream, Cassion asked again.

"How about taking some medicine?"

"... Give it to me."

Ruel struggled to get his words out. Only then did Cassion smile with relief.

"I'll be right back."

Even the sound of the door opening and closing did not reach Ruel's ears.

This pain was too great. There was no sign of it calming down even though the power of recovery was so strong that it rang, "Wi-ing."

'Damn body.'

Since he didn't know the name of the disease and the medicine didn't work, all he could do was get used to the pain.

'Calm down, sink!'

'I wanted to cry right now. I wanted someone to grab hold of how much it hurts and appeal.'

Then, the pain disappeared in an instant.

Ruel put down the blanket that he was holding tightly. 'I'm exhausted all over my body.'

'I should've just taken medicine.'

'The reason I didn't take the medicine was that the pain that I could endure came after I gained the power of recovery.'

Also, he didn't want to depend on drugs.

'But it was the first time I had such a strong pain like today.'
