Undead Seeks Warmth Volume 5 Chapter 9.2

Slowly opening my lead-like eyelids, I raised my body.

..... My body felt so heavy to the extent that I thought that perhaps my joints were rusted

What happened?

I , certainly, I .

All of my attacks were easily avoided by HIM.

Then , lost fang was s.n.a.t.c.hed away just like that  --- 

............... kh ! ?

As I thought at that point, I unconsiously stretched my left hand towards my chest.

However, there's nothing there.

The magic sword that certainly stabbed me , was not there.

My memories and the reality were clas.h.i.+ng.

For now, I judged that I should gather more information first.

As I was about to stand up, thingking that perhaps I could find some clue.

Realized that just now,  there's something that grasping the sleeve of my right hand.

I turned my sight towards it.

Over there was the sister who was supposedly I already shook off the time I flew away.

While she was still unconsious, she grasped the sleeve of my uniform.

..... Is that it, ?Purification ?, heh.

I don't know how things were going, but TAKAHINA was erased by her, right?

While the fallen dhamir was a race that is mixed with the angel race, but mostly it was part undead race.

An existance that maintained its appearance with magical power.

Thus, if the flow of magical power in its body got completely destroyed by purification magic, without minding its power level, it will disappear.

Though, if someone at the level of nee-san , it woulndn't have any effect.

But anyway .... I got saved by this kid . 

Though, possibly from her point of view, she didn't do it because she wanted to save me.

At least, there's no mistake that I am able to escape from death.

The cause of this sister collapsed right here was perhaps because of mind fatigue by using too much purification.

The case when we, monster , using magic, we use the magical power that already resides inside of our body.

But in the case of a human, on the top of using intermediary like wood and metal, using magic will also sc.r.a.pe their mental power.

Not to mention a 'purification' that was cappable to erase a rank 6 monster.

But in the end she only ended up she losing her conciousness, it could even be called pretty amazing.

She has a very strong will, to the extent that I felt dread from it.

The esential thing that was needed for using magic was the mind .... the mental power.

That's why, there's also cases when someone got drasticaly improved within a day.

The last time I met her, she was just a sister.

Thus from the affection that she have towards an existance which is me, giving her the strenght.

Such thing, is not an impossible thing to happen.

Frighteningly ..... right?

Peeling off the fingers that were grasping my sleeve, I stood up.

And then, I left her alone after she saved me, but if she were to wake up, only trouble will arise.

This kid, even after destroying me, she will make me her's.

But I still didn't have any intentions to break.... yet.

Closing my eyes, I used my life detection.

The heat detection is already useless, since I could only feel the coldness of mine all the time, I wasn't able to grasp the feeling anymore.

The radius of 33 meters. That was the limit of my area of detection.

Inside the radius was ..... the biggest thing, was just a young rabbit.

If it's like this , it would be no problem to leave her alone here.

Just in case, I used the angel's breath on the sister.

It seems that her mental fatigue was not really severe, like this she will wake up after 10 minutes.

That's why, I thought of leaving this place before she wakes up, so released my wing.

But then I had a thought and turned back

Since I felt the coldness all year round, I don't get to feel the seasons, despite this world has 4 seasons.

Also right now is at the end of fall. Inside this dimm fores, was already getting quite cold.

All the more for her who only wore a thin frock(dress).

.... This can't be helped.

I took off my uniform ---- the tattered school uniform, and put it onto the sister's body.

While it was tattered, it is still a winter clothing, so the material is thick, I think it's better than nothing.

- Take it as my grat.i.tude, for now .... Next time, you will have to give it back to me - 

After muttering that, some kind of conviction being formed inside of my mind.

Surely one day, I will meet with this kid again ..... 

This kid is like Misha, they're my sins itself.

I can't run away from it after all, there's a part of myself that can't run away from it.

A retribution that I will someday receive.

But right now, I still can't receive it yet.

Now, I still haven't returned my own life.

I still haven't return my warmth.

Above all, I still haven't settled things with Misha .... My little sister(a.k.a. someone who he recognize as little sister).

The time when I will receive judgement, is when everythng is over.

But until then, even though it's selfish of me, but I wish for her to wait.

Looking up towards the sky through the dense leaves, I spread my ice wings.

flapping 3 times and I flew up.

And just like that, towards the way of the blowing wind.

Leaving myself to the force of the wind, I went with the flow.
