It had been a few days since the last visit to the Itsuka family. During this time, nothing had happened, and everything was peaceful. Tokisaki Kurumi was also being very obedient, following the agreement she had made with Itsuka Kotori and Takamiya Mana, and didn't harm any other ordinary people, even though those people were all scum of society. However, Yoshino didn't want to hurt them either.
However, during these few days, Itsuka Shido successfully found Takamiya Mana and smoothly persuaded her to have her current body checked. Although she didn't know why Itsuka Shido wanted her to have her body checked, she didn't want to reject her Older Brother's request. So, she agreed to Itsuka Shido's request to have her body checked. After all, Itsuka Shido would never do anything to harm her.
In this way, with Itsuka Kotori's status as Commander, Itsuka Shido took Takamiya Mana to Ratatoskr's medical facility to have her body checked. Sure enough, just like Toujou Nozomi said, a large amount of magical processing had been done on her body, and her current lifespan was less than ten years.
Hearing this information, Itsuka Shido hated DEM Corporation so much for the first time, and no one noticed that Murasame Reine, who was following them, also had very strong emotional fluctuations, but she hid it very well. However, the anger in her eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what. At the same time, she felt sorry for Takamiya Mana. If there was no one present, she would have couldn't help but go up and hug Takamiya Mana, right? But the current situation only allowed her to endure it.
"Older Brother, please don't be sad. I, Mana, don't only have a few days left to live. I now have about ten years of life left. Now that I, Mana, have met Older Brother, as long as I use these ten years to stay by Older Brother's side, I, Mana, will have no regrets." Not showing any injustice about her remaining lifespan, Takamiya Mana still looked at Itsuka Shido with a smile.
"...Don't you have anything to say? You need to know that you're only fourteen years old now, and even if you can live for ten more years, you'll only live to be twenty-four years old at most. Are you just accepting your current outcome?" Itsuka Kotori looked at Takamiya Mana with a puzzled expression, seeing that she didn't have any changes in her expression after seeing her test results.
"It's impossible not to care. After all, no one wouldn't be surprised when they hear that they only have ten years left to live." Takamiya Mana shook her head. She had always had a sense of gratitude towards DEM Corporation because DEM Corporation saved her, but after learning that DEM Corporation only treated her as a weapon, that feeling had already disappeared. Although she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, constantly killing Kurumi had unknowingly worn down her heart. Although she was still only a fourteen-year-old beautiful girl, her mind was already very mature. She just liked to act spoiled in front of Itsuka Shido.
"Then why are you..." Itsuka Kotori frowned as she looked at Takamiya Mana. She clearly cared, so why was she like this? Could it be that her loyalty to DEM Corporation was already this high?
"Nightmare, who has always killed people with my own will, considered killing her as my mission and reason for existence, but now that I have seen Brother Shido, there are no regrets in my life. It's just that I can only spend ten years with Brother Shido, which is a bit of a pity." Takamiya Mana looked at Itsuka Shido, who was trying hard to hold back his tears, and said with some sadness. It was not easy to see her brother again, but she could not always be by his side. This was a disqualification as a younger sister.
"Mana! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I, your brother, can't do anything for you. I'm such a useless brother." Hearing Takamiya Mana's words full of regret, Itsuka Shido, who had been trying hard to hold back his tears, finally broke down. He couldn't help but hug Takamiya Mana in front of Itsuka Kotori, tears flowing uncontrollably. At this time, she was not thinking about herself, but caring about his feelings. Takamiya Mana's attitude made Itsuka Shido feel even more sad, but what he hated most was that he had no way to stop all of this.
"...Don't be sad, Brother Shido. Mana doesn't want to see you so sad. Mana prefers to see you happy. Don't make such an expression, okay?" Takamiya Mana, who was suddenly hugged, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and wrapped her arms around Itsuka Shido's waist, leaning against him with a gentle expression.
"Isn't there any way? Kotori." Since a lot of magical power can be processed on Takamiya Mana's body, then it should be able to cure her, right? After all, there is a manifestation device for medical treatment, so it should be able to treat Takamiya Mana's condition.
"That's right! There are still people who can solve Takamiya Mana's condition! If it's them, it might be possible, after all, they are so mysterious." Itsuka Shido, who thought of something, felt hopeful. Those people have always been so mysterious, they will definitely be able to solve Takamiya Mana's problem!
"So, that's the purpose of your coming here today? I thought you would take this child to a hospital with a medical manifestation device for treatment. You would owe us a favor by doing so, but you still came here to find us." Yoshino looked at Itsuka Shido and his two younger sisters sitting on the sofa and said with some emotion. She was a little emotional about Itsuka Shido's speed and a little emotional about their decision.
Now, everyone in Yoshino's house was sitting here looking at Itsuka Shido and the others, especially Natsumi, who had just arrived, was curiously looking at them. However, her eyes were full of eagerness to try. She couldn't resist the idea of playing pranks when she saw others. It's just that there were too many people here now, so she could only endure it for now.
"After all, that method can't guarantee that Mana will be 100% cured. I want Mana to be able to live well, and I don't want her to only have ten years of life left. This is just a request as a brother, I beg you here!" As he said that, Itsuka Shido knelt down to Yoshino, lowering his head to express his feelings.
"Shido... Okay! If you can really cure Takamiya Mana, then I, Itsuka Kotori, on behalf of Ratatoskr, owe you a favor. If you can really cure Takamiya Mana." Looking at Itsuka Shido kneeling on the ground, Itsuka Kotori said while biting on the Chupa Chups in her mouth.
"Brother, Kotori." Takamiya Mana looked at them with a moved expression. She didn't expect that Itsuka Kotori, who had been arguing with her all the time, would also intercede for her here. But do they really have a way to treat the problem on her body?
"It seems that we have to agree to this matter." Toujou Nozomi turned to look at the others and said. Now Yoshino has already shown an expression of wanting to help. Even if she refuses, Yoshino will agree to them.
"After all, Yoshino is such a kind child, isn't this all in the realm of reason?" Tokisaki Kurumi said with a smile. She had been with Yoshino for such a long time, and she was already a little familiar with Yoshino's personality. She doesn't like to see tragedies happen to others, and she won't hurt others even if she is injured, unless the other party has gone too far.
"Then let us handle this matter now. First, we need to set up a magic circle near here, so that the guys from DEM Company can't know what's happening here." Yoshino nodded and stretched out her hand to create a magic circle on the ground. Slowly, the entire living room was surrounded by the magic circle. This magical scene made the people present who had never seen this side couldn't help but show surprised expressions. This is not like the power they usually see, when did spirits have such magical abilities?
Then Yoshino knelt on the ground with a pious expression, put her hands together and emitted a sacred aura that made the people present feel very comfortable, a feeling of being healed. Then the clothes on Yoshino's body changed, not the original green hooded spirit dress, but a pure white dress, with a delicate crown on her head.
Yoshino in a pure white dress was not as cute as before, just like a saint. Toujou Nozomi couldn't help but show a nostalgic expression when she saw Yoshino now. She didn't expect that she could see Yoshino's current appearance again, which was a bit nostalgic.
"Zadkiel, now listen to my call and help the girl in front of me." After Yoshino finished speaking, pure white feathers began to fall from the sky. When they felt very strange, an angel with a holy aura descended in front of everyone. She looked at Yoshino with a gentle expression and hugged her gently from behind.
"Angel... a real angel." Takamiya Mana looked at Zadkiel behind Yoshino. Although they called the weapons on the spirits' bodies angels, this was the first time she had really seen an angel. At this moment, she was deeply shocked in her heart. At the same time, she had a big change in her psychology towards spirits.
After Yoshino whispered to the angel for a while, the angel nodded with a smile, gently kissed Yoshino's forehead and came to Takamiya Mana. Looking at Takamiya Mana, who was nervously tensing her body, the angel couldn't help but smile when she saw such a cute Takamiya Mana. Then a pillar of light appeared on Takamiya Mana's body, allowing her to bathe in it. Takamiya Mana, who was bathing in the pillar of light, felt the changes happening on her body and was a little addicted to this warmth.
Gradually, Takamiya Mana's body, which had been modified, gradually began to recover. This made Itsuka Shido, who was watching from the side, very happy. Now that the angel has appeared, the problem on Takamiya Mana's body must be solved.
But Itsuka Kotori, who was standing next to him, saw Yoshino who was still praying, and a gleam flashed in her eyes. I don't know what she was thinking.
