Out of Chapter Joshua's Perspective Part 3(1/3)
(Libel's Longest Day Part 6)
After the martial arts competition ended, Estil and Joshua moved Jin to the infirmary of Wangli Arena to rest. Like Agathe, who had already received treatment, the staff of Wangli Arena together with them specially received medical treatment from Qiyao Church.
Father Kevin was invited to provide emergency treatment to the injuries of the two men.
Not only Estelle and Joshua, but four guerrillas including Cruz also came to see how the two were doing.
"Both of their lives should not be in danger. Compared with Agathe, Mr. Jin's condition is worse. He suffered internal injuries and may need to spend a long time recuperating." Cruz used alchemy to explore
He told Estelle and Joshua about the situation of the two people on the hospital bed.
"The treatment techniques are so powerful, Father Kevin, are you not an ordinary priest?" Kurac was a little concerned about Father Kevin's identity.
"Haha, you saw it. Indeed, I am not an ordinary priest. In fact, I am a knight affiliated with the Star Cup Knights. So I can use some of the church's unique spells." Kevin said.
"Star Cup Knight? I seem to have heard of it somewhere. Anyway, thank you for your help." Kurac said gratefully to Father Kevin.
"That Valut went too far. He actually dealt such a harsh blow to a fellow junior." Yanilas said with some indignation.
"I don't think so. Most people will faint if they receive 10% damage, but warriors with a strong spirit and will can overcome it. They will not fall down even if they receive 30% or even 50% damage. But once they fall,
That means they were seriously injured. In comparison, Agathe's injury was much lighter. It looked serious but was actually just a trauma." Kurac analyzed with his experience, "In other words, if
Mr. Jin would not have fallen unless he was injured like this."
"Is that so? In other words, that Valut seems to have lost his strength, but he is still far from being defeated. Joshua, did you admit defeat after seeing this?" Estelle
I still feel bad about losing the game.
But after hearing the girl's call, Joshua did not answer. His eyes were a little cold at the moment, as if he was thinking about something.
"Joshua? Joshua?" Estelle called him twice more.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Estelle. I was distracted just now." Joshua resumed his usual tone and said to Estelle.
"I see that your face is a little pale, Joshua. It would be better to go back and rest. You also vomited blood during the battle, right?" Yanelas suggested.
"Don't worry, I used my skills to avoid the vital points. The injury will be more serious if I don't vomit blood. It has been treated with guidance magic before, I will just take a rest and be fine."
"How is that possible? In short, the same goes for Joshua, and the same goes for Estelle. You two should have a good sleep. Just leave the tasks regarding the Guerrilla Association to my sister and us." Karuna said to the two of them.
.
"Leave Mr. Jin to us. We will provide him with the best care." As the door of the infirmary was pushed open, a voice that few people had heard sounded around them.
The visitors were from the Embassy of the Republic of Kalvad, and they also came to the infirmary of the Wangli Arena. They came here to take Jin Vasek back, which is also where Jin originally stayed. Compared with the Wangli Arena or
It is the Guerrilla Association, and the embassy has experts from the East who can provide Jin with more comprehensive treatment services.
"Well, then he will leave it to you. When it comes to dealing with internal injuries of the internal organs, it is true that Eastern doctors know better. Although the medical skills of our church have also absorbed Eastern herbal medicine theory, it is safer to let experts do it."
Father Kevin, who had done emergency treatment, replied.
After hearing what he said, the guerrillas and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Agathe, who was in much better condition, was carried by Kurac, and the five of them returned to the Guerrilla Association together with Father Kevin from the church who had come with him because he was "worried about Agathe's injury."
In the Guerrilla Association, Ainan, Cruz, Kurac, Karuna, Yanelas, Estil, and Joshua gathered together. The six members of the Guerrilla team told the operator Ainan about the game.
Father Kevin went to the lounge inside to continue further treatment for Agathe.
"So that's it. There's nothing we can do about not winning the game. Joshua, Estelle, you've worked very hard. Just have a good rest in the association tonight." Ainan meant more than just that.
The outcome of the game, as well as the way to meet Her Majesty the Queen at the dinner, was cut off. However, no one seemed to be able to understand the meaning of his words. Estelle hadn't thought of this yet.
, and Joshua, who should have been able to notice it, seemed to be thinking about something and didn't care.
Ainan booked a hotel room for Yanilas and Kurac, and let Estelle and Joshua recuperate in the association. With him taking care of them, they can feel more at ease.
Estil originally wanted to refuse, but she felt that her physical strength was indeed a bit lacking, so she did not refuse Ainan's kindness.
"Joshua, what's wrong with you? You looked absent-minded just now. Are you okay?" Seeing that Joshua didn't speak, Ainan asked worriedly.
"Speaking of which, Cruz-senpai was also pale and in low spirits at the beginning of the competition. He almost fainted." Yanelas, who was Cruz's companion, said with some worry.
"That sudden dizziness before the start of the game... Well, I'm surprised too. My physical condition is obviously very good. Is it a sequelae of that time?" Cruz murmured in reply.
.
"S-Sequelae? Could it be from yesterday's match with us...!?" Estil said nervously.
"Haha, no, no. It was an accident in August, that is, two months ago. I seemed to have failed during the mission and was injured in many places all over my body." Cruz replied.
"It seems to have failed...?" Estelle noticed the uncertain tone in Cruz's wording...
"That's a bit vague." Father Kevin came down from upstairs and intervened in the conversation of the guerrillas. "If necessary, can I come to diagnose and treat you?" Father Kevin suggested enthusiastically.
.
"Where's Brother Agathe?" Estelle asked quickly when she saw Father Kevin appearing.
"Don't worry, I have used the magic of Qiyao Church to set Agathe's bones. If everything goes well, you should be able to get out of bed tomorrow." Father Kevin replied.
After hearing Father Kevin's doubts, Cruz closed his eyes and thought about it, and then sighed helplessly.
"I feel ashamed to say it, because I can no longer remember the experience before and after the accident. I have completely forgotten even the content of the mission at that time. According to the doctor, this situation may have been caused by the coma at the time." Krutz told
Several people said.
"...Could it be traumatic amnesia? But with Mr. Cruz's strength, he shouldn't have no memory at all." Joshua, who had been silent since returning to the association, spoke for the first time. His tone was a little urgent.
, but others thought he was worried about Cruz's physical condition, so they didn't pay attention.
"You're right. I can recall the memory of that time a little bit later. But it's fuzzy and not clear at all, as if it didn't happen to me. At that time, I seemed to be chasing someone special.
Something, a dark...power...instrument..." When Krutz said this, his voice suddenly became a little choppy.
"Black force guide? Could it be..." Estelle immediately thought of something that was once in her hand, but when she saw Cruz's condition, she immediately asked worriedly, "You, what's wrong with you?
Suddenly my face turned blue."
"Ugh...uh...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Cruz suddenly held his head and screamed wildly, as if he was enduring great pain.
"Could it be that... hold him down and let me try. Mr. Cruz, it may cause some mental harm to you, please be patient!"
After hearing Father Kevin's words, Kurac immediately stepped forward and hugged his body.
"No, no problem! Come on." Cruz said, barely holding back his discomfort.
Kevin took out a star cup crest and held it in front of his chest, facing Cruz, and recited a spell that outsiders could understand.
In the name of the Goddess of Space, the Holy Seven Glory is gathered here.
In front of everyone's eyes, the Star Cup emblem exuded a soft light, and Cruz's twitching gradually stopped.
The silver brilliance of knowledge and the black brilliance of time are mutually restrained and will drive a wedge into this person, and then pull them out!
The light flashed, and Cruz groaned in pain.
"Are you okay, Mr. Cruz?" Yanelas asked worriedly.
"Ah, I'm fine. Just like the thick fog cleared, I started to... think of a lot of things." Kloots replied.
"Please let the thick fog dissipate and let your soul slowly settle down. Do not focus on the dark abyss beyond." Father Kevin, who withdrew the Star Cup crest, reminded.
"Well, I understand. Haha, I understand what you mean by mental damage. In other words, is that the Yin me?"
"Ah, so you know." Kevin looked surprised.
"I am an alchemist, and I have done some research on meditation... I have made everyone worried. I am fine. Let's not talk about my problems. Although not all, I have remembered the necessary information."
"Really, really?" After Estelle said this, everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for Cruz's next words.
"As I just said before, about the accident in August. At that time, someone asked me to investigate the affairs of the men in black, the special agents of the Ministry of Intelligence. Then I seized a package transported by those people from their hands.
The first suspicious item is the dark force guide."
"So, it turns out that what Lieutenant Lawrence told Brother Agathe is true. The black force guide really belongs to the Royal Army." Estelle remembered that when they were in Chase at the end of September, Agathe
Te once said that from the intelligence he heard, the black power guide was snatched from the Royal Army by a certain guerrilla. She didn't believe it at the time. After all, in her concept, guerrillas would not do such sneaky things.
.But thinking of the identity of the client, she decided to give up thinking temporarily and not think about this issue.
"Could it be that the person who entrusted you is... Estelle, do you still have that note?" Joshua reminded Estelle.
"Well, of course it won't be lost. After all, we started traveling after receiving the letter from our father. Mr. Olivier and Sister Sherazade were also with us at that time."
After hearing this, Estelle immediately took out the note from her bag that she had received along with the black force guide when she was in Perth, and gave it to everyone to look at.
I got the items transported by that organization, please help me keep them. And find an opportunity to give them to Dr. R for analysis of the sender k.
"We already know that r refers to Dr. Russell, so it turns out that k refers to Mr. Cruz." Estelle said suddenly.
"Yes, this is my handwriting, and I remember it very clearly." Cruz said, looking at the handwriting on the note.
"Since Mr. Cruz, you were sending it to your father, that is to say, the person who entrusted you to investigate the special agents was..." Joshua interjected.
"Yes... that's your father, Mr. Cassius. I hurriedly packed the force guide in a small package and sent it to Mr. Cassius." Cruz replied.
"Well, let's exchange information now. Joshua, Estelle, it shouldn't matter if we talk here, right?" Ainan said.
"Ah, is this a topic that I need to avoid? If it's inconvenient, I can leave." After Kevin spoke, everyone remembered that there seemed to be an "outsider" in the association.
"No, since Father Kevin helped Mr. Cruz recover his memory, he is no longer an outsider. We have no reason to continue to hide it from you. In fact, we hope that Father Kevin can serve as our intermediary and report to the Great Cathedral.
Archbishop Karan sent a message to tell him the information here. If it is that respected old man, he will definitely lend a helping hand to us." Ainan made a judgment, and no one present refuted it.
After Ainan locked the door of the Guerrilla Association from the inside, he began to narrate.
"The black power guide has been recaptured by the Royal Army Intelligence Department, and it is an incident that has caused a lot of fuss recently, that is, the central workshop attack that was defined as a terrorist attack." Ainan told Crewe, who was originally unaware.
