There are a few dead soldiers fe to the attack... There would've been more if we didn't defeat the demon
I'm with Cassandra At the moment... In the town hospital, every student are safe and well be staying in this town for a while..treating injuries and questioning about the incident for security purposes..
We are sitting beside Anna's bed waiting for her to wake up.. she's been asleep for a day now since she used her holy powers to help us defeat the demon
Without her help..we wouldn't be here..she's truly is the protagonist I this world..I sometimes forget it since I've been close to her for a long time now.
Anna's eyes slowly opened and looked at us..she is not herself yet it seems "w-where am I?" She ask
"Don't worry, you're safe now...." Cassandra held Anna's hand "we are back in town..you're in a hospital Anna"
"Hospital...safe?" Then she finally realise it.. quickly sitting up and her eyes widen.. tears falling down her cheeks "T-Thomas!...Thomas is... He's!"
"Calm down Anna.. Thomas is alright!" Cassandra tries to calm her down
"What do you mean!? I saw him! I saw him died right in front of me!"
Well...what she said is true..he did die... But with her powers, she revived him..and.. I just look at the other bed beside Anna where Thomas is looking at her
"Anna, I'm really alive look" Thomas said making Anna look at him..there is only silence but was immediately broken by anna's scream
"A ghost!? There's no way! "
"No no no! I'm not a ghost " he steps out of his bed and pinch Anna's cheek
"Oww... Wait.. it hurts... So this isn't a dream??? You're.. you're really alive???"
"It's all thank to you"
Anna broke out in tears again and just hugged Thomas..crying on his chest.. perhaps out of happiness..and also
"I'm glad your alive!..b-but.. your arm... Your arm is"
"Come on now~ it's just an arm..what's important is that I'm alive"
Anna managed to save him, but not his right arm... I guess because it was cut off before she revived him..or maybe it's just her power as a saintess isn't strong enough yet..
______________________________
After calming Anna down..me and Cassandra leave the hospital to let Anna and Thomas rest. I'm now currently riding a carriage back to Cassandra house..I was gonna stay in an inn but she insisted that I come.. seems that her father have something to tell me...
"Anna... That holy magic that she used.. it's not normal"Cassandra said looking outside through the window "..perhaps...perhaps she's a saintess, we can't know yet.. but she did not just heal Thomas..she revived him"
"She does...." I just said while looking at my feet
Cassandra had sensed that something is wrong and looked at me "do you have something you want to say? You've been like this since we left.." she's worried about me...
"I'm fine really...but I think I need to talk to you later on"
"Sure, meet me in the garden then"
Finally we had arrived to the mansion, where a simple dinner was prepared for us. Two... Her father is with us when we ate..it was awkward... Since he already knew our relationship and after we are done...
"Cassandra, I want to talk to desmond alone" said her father..
Cassandra was going to say something but seeing her father's stern look, she would just sigh and look at me. I gave her a nod to tell her that it's gonna be okay and she leaves the dinner room along with the servants.
And there was silence... Only me and the father of the woman I love...
It was him who break the silence first "first... Thank you, without your efforts in that battle we wouldn't defeat the demon that attacked the outpost, you did a very good job kid"
"Thank you sir.." well..I hope that's everything he has to say.
"Also..don't call me sir..."
Saying that with such seriousness.... Is he still mad over me and her daughter being in a relationship??? Is he really that overprotective of her???
"Call me father.."
Huh? Father? I just looked at him with a very confused face..what does he mean father?
"Father?"
"Yes, your going to marry my daughter isn't it? Then it's better for call me father already so you'll get used to it"
What is this sudden chance of mood!?
"Uhhhh..."
"Or are you just trying with her? Your not planning to marry her?"
"N-no! That's not that! I was just surprised with all of this!..it was sudden.. can I just call you sir???"
He would sigh "fine...I don't want you to feel awkward as well.."
What's up with him? Is this the only reason why he ask for me to come?
"And Desmond..your friend..he definitely died back then..and he came back. That holy magic user.. she's a friend of Cassandra right? And the girl the prince liked?"
"Yes..." So it's indeed Anna
"I see...her power..it's powerful enough to hurt a demon..and not only that, she revived someone, I want you to keep an eye of her..I know I shouldn't be asking you this.. but I'm sure my daughter will be mad if I ask her to do this... But I have a feeling, that girl might be a saintess given power by the gods themselves to help us from an incoming demonic treat"
So he already suspect that much.. the appearance of a demon and Anna's power awakening to such a degree....I already know that she is the saintess..but I can't just say that to him "alright, I'll do just that"
"Good..I'm counting on you kid"
________________
I got my own room a guess room is already as big as our living room back home... It was so big. It's getting late but there's no time to sleep
Walking toward the gardens of the mansion..I'll find Cassandra waiting for me, she's wearing thin clothing..probably sleep wear and a coat to cover her body from the cold breeze..meanwhile I'm wearing my pants and a white shirt
"So? You tell me that you have something to tell right? Then please do tell.. "
"Alright... I..I kinda knew that Anna has that power.."
"Huh? You mean that you already saw her potential back then?"
"No..not like that... I.." I dunno how to explain it without being weird... Telling them that I'm from a different world and everyone in this world is just characters from a game.. they will be shock..I don't wanna lue anymore.. but I think I can't say everything..
"Hmm?" Cassandra is also getting curious about it ..I need to come up of a story
"When I was a kid... I got visions...visions of the future..of what's to come.. and knowing those..changed my life..no..not only that, I.. I change the course of future" that's the best lie I had come up with.. and it seems that Cassandra is convinced...
