Three Days to Change Our Future

??? - 34

In front of me, there was a black-haired girl on top of a white-haired girl who was sitting on Eden's bed. They were only in undergarments while cuddling each other. Elysia's hand stroked the black hair many times while her green eyes avoiding mine.

"Well, I was visiting Eden in her room."

"And?" I raised one of my eyebrows.

"The wall was caught on fire, and Eden was being nearby so—"

"You helped her, but your clothes also got on fire?"

"Yeah. Then, she fell asleep when we were away from the fire. That's why we're in this situation," she added, fidgeting her fingers in panic.

"It's an excellent choice," I braved myself to open my eyes again, "good job."

"Thank goodness," Elysia sighed in relief, "You understand me. Now, tell me... Why are you dressing like a witch?"

I only could spout an awkward laugh.

"It's a long story, but the reason was almost the same as yours."

"I see," her green eyes gaze doubtfully, "Is it just my imagination, or do your skin and hair look different than usual?"

"Don't worry about me, you should care about your appearance."

"But—" She paused after I flicked my fingers. As soon as my magic surrounded them and popped, Elysia wore new clothes. Not to forget, I also picked out clothes for Eden, who was still sleeping on her shoulder. They're new as I bought them from the past timeline then stored them in my dimension storage.

Elysia was so surprised that she asked me, "How-When did you become a witch, Viona?"

"Oh? Did I become one?" I answered her nonchalantly, "Eh. I'm not even care about what people call me nowadays."

"You're so funny," Elysia said as her hand stopping her petting and rolling the green eyes.

"Wait," I said, noticing something on her hand. "Elysia, give me your hands."

She obeyed me while putting her hands on mine. Her hands were almost full of black burn marks. In panic, I healed them with healing magic. Slowly, Elysia's hands turned back into their usual colors. My lips sighed in relief, but I still didn't let my guard down.

"Has Eden also burned her back?"

"Yes," she answered while dazing at her hands, "she didn't let me see though."

"Please turn her back. I must heal it urgently."

Reluctantly, she held Eden so her back could face me. Without removing her clothes, I touched hers and put healing magic on them. It came out nicely as her skin's colour reversed to normal. Then, my heart felt like it's being stabbed by a stake. Shamefully, I swallowed the taste of iron and charged my mana without saying anything.

While I was charging and thinking about how to get them out, Elysia moved her best friend onto her shoulder. Eden suddenly woke up, yet her blue eyes were still unaware of her surroundings. She whispered something into her best friend's ear. After seeing a nod from her, Eden went back to sleep.

I wanted to tease them, but seeing Elysia's eyes gazing at her adoringly made me realize it was not the time for that. So, I left them alone for a while. When she stopped adoring her best friend's sleepy face, she was talking to me again.

"Eden said thanks to you, Viona."

My heart felt touched for a moment. I didn't know how to express it, so I just said what was on my mind. "You're welcome. Let's go out from this building before we can't get out from here."
