Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 56

Alex's perspective

Walking through the hospital hallways, Alex passed by guards patrolling the hospital, returning to a particular room, carrying sandwiches in his arms.

Alex eventually made his way to the room he was going to, which had two guards stationed in front.

He greeted them, and they respectfully nodded back to let him in because they knew he was an acquaintance of Alice.

Entering the room, Alex was exasperated by what he saw. The people they were supposed to protect and stay in bed were up and about despite doctors' orders.

"Aren't you all supposed to be on bed rest? And Wendy, why are you sparring with him, and why does Garner have a sword?"

Alex saw Garner, Rollo, and Arnaud moving around when they were not supposed to. Lucia was sitting and looking out the window rather impatiently, while Maria was sitting next to her, reading a book, not stopping them.

The conditions of their body were severely malnourished from being held captive and barely being fed by their captors. Health potions only heal injuries, which is why Garner can't regrow an arm, Rollo's left leg needs physical therapy, and Arnaud is recovering from an infection from the x-shaped wound on his chest.

"Apologies, young master Alex, I cannot go idle knowing that I am even more of a burden to Lady Alice than we already are."

Garner told Alex that as he was sparring with Wendy, holding a sword with his left hand to reteach himself how to use a sword since he lost his right hand, which was his dominant hand, during the ambush that separated him from the lady he meant to protect.

Rollo was walking with a cane from one end of the room to the other, trying to put some weight on his injured leg, and Arnaud was doing push-ups without his shirt that revealed bandages covering a large wound across his chest, said.

"Yes, we cannot allow that."

"I agree, we mustn't be more of a burden than we are right now."

Alex sighed at their response and said.

"Just don't overdo it, and again with the young master thing, why do you keep calling me that?"

All of them smirked, and Rollo said.

"Young master Alex, you are our lady's lover; of course, we will use honorifics for our lady's future husband."

Alex felt like he was about to get a headache from their response, so he went to Maria and Lucia sitting next to the window.

"Sorry for the wait. I brought you all dinner; this is what I could find this late at night."

Maria and Lucia said thanks and grabbed one of the sandwiches Alex was carrying in his arms.

Sitting on one of the empty chairs, by Maria and Lucia, Alex asked what Lucia was looking out the window for.

"Oh, we're just bored. There is nothing to do."

Lucia answers Alex impatiently since waiting around was never really her thing, and she would rather go off dungeon diving or do training.

Looking up from her book, Maria asks.

"Have you seen Alice and Chelsie? "Shouldn't they be back by now?"

Alex turned to Maria, who took her eyes off her book, which she had been glued to ever since she bought it, and said.

"No, let's just wait for a bit."

He said that with some concern as he looked out the window and began eating his sandwich. Alex wondered why Alice was adamant that she wanted to go with Chelsie to find Nyx instead of letting Chelsie do it by herself. He trusted Alice to handle herself; with Chelsie, he shouldn't worry, but he still had thoughts that something might have happened to them.
