Chapter 76: Irreversible I (part 1)

“Are you awake?”  

Hearing a voice filled with concern brought me back to my senses. 

When I opened my eyes, I realized I was lying on a bed with a soft texture I was so familiar with. The bed, the decorations on the ceiling—everything was recognizable. 

No, it wasn’t just familiar; it was a place I knew very well. 

This was my room in Estel’s family estate.  

“…Umm.”  

I didn’t know why, but I was certain that I had been asleep for quite a long time. I began recalling what had happened before I lost consciousness.  

As I swallowed hard and tested my arms and legs, I felt them respond to my will. Fortunately, none of my limbs were missing. 

That was a relief. At the very least, I wouldn’t have to worry about which hand to hold a spoon with.  

“Don’t push yourself too hard. You’ve been healed for now, but you still need to rest. If you overdo it and get hurt again, I’ll be really angry.”  

A gentle, kind, and very familiar voice spoke from beside me. I rolled my eyes and looked around, only to see a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.  

“…saintess?”  

Yes. Sitting right next to my bed was Ariel Thier, the future saintess whose divine power was so immense that she was already being called the incarnation of a goddess.  

“Again with that title. Didn’t we agree last time to call each other by our first names? Please, call me Ariel, not some strange title like ‘saintess.’ Cain.”  

“…I see. Ariel.”  

For some reason, I had no choice but to nod at her words. If my guess was correct, she also had memories of the future, but I couldn’t understand why she insisted on being called by her first name. Could it be that she didn’t want me to realize she had returned from the future as well? If that were the case, it made sense why she stubbornly refused to be called a saintess.  

After staring blankly at Ariel’s face for a moment, I suddenly remembered something more urgent—something I needed to ask.  

“Bianca… What happened to Bianca?”  

The last time I saw her, Bianca had collapsed after draining all of her mana. Of course, since Aria had been there, I believed she would have done the right thing, but even so, I couldn’t help but worry.  

“…Don’t worry. Compared to the injuries you’ve sustained, it’s ridiculous— No, Bianca del Castana is doing just fine. She’s perfectly fine.”  

After saying that, Ariel suddenly furrowed her brows and glared at me. 

Judging by the way her cheeks puffed out slightly, she clearly wasn’t pleased.  

“…Cain, why are you asking about her first? Shouldn’t there be something else you and I should talk about before discussing another woman’s condition?”  

Only then did I realize that I had done something to upset Ariel. Seeing her triumphant expression, as if she had caught me red-handed, made it clear—I had made a mistake.  

“…Alright. Ariel, why are you here? From what I’ve heard, you rarely leave the Empire unless it’s for something important…”  

“…..”  

Ariel’s expression suddenly darkened. Maybe that wasn’t the right question to ask.  

“…Cain. Are you seriously telling me that, out of all the things you could ask, the first thing you want to know is why I’m here? Alright then, let me tell you. The reason I’m here isn’t anything complicated—”  

“Sorry, but let me explain that part.”  

Thud!  

The door burst open without so much as a knock, and a woman strode into my room as if she owned the place. 

It was none other than Iris el Devhart, who acted with complete confidence despite technically being a guest. Unfortunately, she held too high a status for anyone to scold her over something as trivial as good manners.  

“You’re finally awake, Cain. Watching you lie unconscious for over fifteen days was truly nerve-wracking.”  

I couldn’t help but reply in a dazed voice.  

“…It’s been more than fifteen days since I passed out?”  

“If you hadn’t done something reckless at the last moment, you wouldn’t have lost consciousness in the first place. You should reflect on your actions.”  

The ‘reckless act’ the princess was referring to must have been my decision to convert life energy into aura. Hearing her say that, I finally realized just how crazy I had been.  

After scolding me, the princess turned her gaze toward Ariel, glancing at her with thinly veiled amusement.  

“I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation outside the door, Ariel Thiers. As a priestess, it’s your duty to heal the sick, but to use that as an excuse to satisfy your own selfish desires while begging for praise… That’s quite the spectacle. Aren’t you ashamed?”  

A sly smile played on the princess’s lips. No matter how I looked at it, she was clearly provoking Ariel.  

“I don’t know,” Ariel replied coolly. “I just find it amusing that someone who eavesdrops like a rat outside a door and then proudly barges in to reveal what she overheard has the nerve to talk about shame. So why should I feel ashamed?”  

“Hah. You’re really something, Ariel Thiers. I expected you to at least have a shred of shame, but I see now that was wishful thinking. Impressive. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if you went as far as to break one of Cain’s limbs just so you could heal him and have him wag his tail in gratitude.”
