Lelia hurriedly opened the bottle of Elixir and poured it into her mother's mouth. At that moment, the cold skin began to gradually regain its warmth. The wounds cut by the sword healed, and the grayish skin regained its color.

Witnessing the marvelous moment, Lelia thought it didn't matter what curse she was under. She began moving her fingertips, which she thought would have been frozen forever. Her eyelashes trembled and her eyelids lifted slowly.

"Mother..."

Lelia grabbed her mother, who finally opened her eyes, and muttered the words she had never heard before.

"... Ahh..."

Sena's expression twisted painfully and she looked at the person in front of her.

"Mother... mother..."

Hearing the voice she had been dreaming of for some reason, Sena fell asleep again.

Lelia came to her senses when she realized that Sena fell asleep with a relaxed face.

"Oscar... First of all, it would be better if we move to our dorm."

Without a word, Oscar hugged Lelia and Senna, who was holding her tight. As he stretched out his finger, a large circle appeared in her air, and then the part split open and cracked.

***

Lelia changed her mother's clothes that were soaked in blood, and wiped the blood from her cheeks and hands, everywhere. The wounds cut by the sword disappeared cleanly without a trace. However, the psychological wounds from the shock would probably still be there. For that reason, there was no sign of her waking up at all.

"I'll watch over her, so go and wash off the blood."

At the Oscar's words, Lelia looked down at her outfit. She was all covered in blood. When her mother initially woke up, she was rather startled and she didn't know if she would faint again after seeing Lelia like this. Lelia nodded and headed to the bathroom.

She felt gratitude to Oscar, who stood by her side without saying a word. Seeing her apparently resurrecting the dead right before his eyes, Oscar still didn't ask anything. Thank you for that. If she hadn't had Oscar by her side, she wouldn't have been able to do anything on her own.

She washed up and came out approaching Oscar who was sitting by the bed. Oscar lifted his gaze and looked at her. At that moment, Lelia was enveloped in a strange feeling. Oscar's eyes... She didn't know why he was looking at her like someone who had lost everything.

"Oscar."

"That drug a few days ago. What is it?"

"Úhhh?"

"The medicine I took."

"Ah..."

Lelia remembered what Oscar had done. He was referring to her memory recovery pill that she made a few days ago to feed her mother.

"It's just a drug that restores memories. Even very old memories."

"..."

"It was made to give to my mother."

Oscar didn't answer. Lelia asked, just in case.

"Why? Did you remember your forgotten memories?"

"..."

Did he think of work when he was young? Oscar didn't readily answer. Lelia suddenly became nervous and anxious. Before she met her friends in the neutral zone. Oscar's memories must be before that. It would only be bad memories for Oscar at that time. Lelia looked anxiously at Oscar.
