As soon as he finished speaking, there was a hint of laughter: "But it's strange. He never made such a request before. Maybe he was influenced by 'that child'."

"...Though I don't think there's anything good about that guy."

"Ahaha, that's not it. You're that kid, 'Reynold's' sidekick."

William was taken aback.

Could "he" mean Faye?

However, the question was dismissed, saying that the person was different from what he imagined.

"Okay, I'm not very good at long speeches. Let's get down to business."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment and continued: "For the sake of fairness and to restore strength, I hope you will pay a certain price."

"cost?"

"Yes. By the way, the man who asked me to give a part to you has paid for it with his own 'life'. To me, it is something insignificant, but I have been with him for a long time, Including his 'wishes', they were all requested by him."

William was surprised.

"Ah, don't worry, I won't ask you to pay with your life."

"...However, I have nothing to pay for it."

"Yes. Of course, I also like human beings very much. Especially the unique wealth that human beings possess - 'emotions'. If you are willing, can you provide me with one of them?"

"emotion..."

William fell silent again, thinking deeply. Then after a period of silence, he replied: "I understand."

"The deal is done. In the end, you will forget all memories of being here. It's just that you will feel that your strength has been restored, so don't worry."

After a while, he said: "Well, I hope you can enjoy the rest of your life." William's consciousness gradually moved away from the scene.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the pure white ceiling, and William blinked a few times.

Where is this?

He thought, aware through touch that he was in bed.

Hearing the rustling sound, his eyes turned in that direction.

A familiar figure with blue hair.

Alice, with her back to him, was arranging the flowers in the vase on the shelf beside the bed.

"...Lena." She subconsciously shouted her name, Alice raised her head suddenly, revealed her face from the vase, and then turned around hastily.

Her expression showed a sharp change in mood. Ignoring Alice's trembling, William sat up straight.

"Store manager!" Alice quickly rushed to William's side and buried her face in his chest.

"——Wow! What, what's wrong?"

William was confused by a situation that had never happened before.

"Great! Really great! I thought you wouldn't wake up again, but I was worried...worried to death!" The voice was choked with sobs.

She was crying, but William's confusion intensified: "Well, what happened?"

Alice raised her head in surprise: "Don't you remember?"

William twisted his neck, "fainted because of the side effects of the medicine!" Alice said.

Fragments of memory flashed by momentarily.

"Ah, really." William stroked Alice's head: "I'm sorry for making you worry. But, I'm fine, right?"

After being glared at by her, William smiled bitterly: "Well, how long have I been asleep?" He felt uneasiness from Alice's expression and asked in a low voice.

Then, the answer was "a few months".

"So long!?" William said in surprise, and Alice nodded slightly.

But soon, she suddenly woke up, left William and stood up: "I'm going to call the doctor. There are others who need to call too."

"Uh, no, no need to exaggerate..."

"But that's an exaggeration. Everyone is really worried about you."

Hearing this, William could only giggle. Alice hurriedly left the room.

William watched her leave, his eyes falling on the vase. It is filled with colorful flowers that have been carefully trimmed. He cast his gaze out the window and saw a familiar sight.

"The royal capital."

Understanding his current position, he lowered his head a little. Of course, it’s impossible to know what happened after he passed out.

Being here probably means that the war with the "Demon King" is over. He felt a sense of relief, and then looked at his right hand. Stare at it, and after a few seconds electricity suddenly flows through you.

"......came back."

Not surprised. Because he has a sense of magic. However, he could not remember why he regained his magic power.

It's an amazing feeling.

After a while, Alice came back with the doctor. The doctor was surprised to see William's condition. Because the magic power that did not exist in William actually existed.

Unable to explain it to William, the mystery became even more confusing. However, as there were no physical abnormalities, William was discharged after several days of hospitalization for examinations.

"But it's strange. Why did the magic suddenly come back?" Alice said to William after the doctor left the room.

William couldn't answer and could only tilt his head to express confusion: "Speaking of which, is Lena safe here?"

"Well, Ivan is waiting outside."

"Although he didn't come in, I'm still worried."

Alice glanced out the door.

William said with a sigh of relief: "Yes."

At this moment, there was the sound of heavy footsteps.

"You will be reprimanded."

"Shut up!"

Accompanied by Ivan's voice and angry shouts, the two of them turned that way, and the door was suddenly opened.

"Brother!!" It was Ryan. Ryan gasped excitedly, and exhaled with relief when he saw his brother waking up.

"How are you, how are you feeling? Are you okay?"

Startled, Ryan rushed over and Alice and William laughed.

"Hey, Ryan. Keep quiet in the hospital." William tapped Ryan's head with his left hand a little hard, and then sat on it.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Ryan's hair was gently stroked as he lowered his head.

"I'm sorry for making you worry. However, everything is fine. The doctor just said that there is nothing abnormal about the body."

"Really, that's great." Behind the relieved Ryan, an angry voice came from the open door.

Ryan froze, and Alice and William looked over there again. Standing there was Lena with sharp eyes: "You guy, what's the point of running in the hospital?"

"Ah, no, I..." Ryan turned around hurriedly, but did not respond. He could only lower his head to avoid sight.

"I understand your feelings, but there are other patients here. You must know how to respect yourself." Lena glanced sideways at Ryan, and he said sadly: "I'm sorry."

Lena let out a breath after entering the room, and then turned her eyes to William. Then, she frowned: "Store manager?"

"Um?"

"Are you a little weird?"
