The End of the World is With You 1

“Alvin-sama!”

I hurriedly rushed over to Alvin-sama, but I was speechless due to the severe injuries on him. The pool of blood on the ground wasn’t only from the demon, but also from him.

His entire body was covered in wounds, and he even had a large, deeply gouged wound on his stomach. It was a miracle that he was still breathing.

“Recovery Heal──!”

I immediately cast a healing spell and at the same time pour the advanced potion from my pochette into his mouth.

“Why is Alvin-sama…?”

Perhaps at that moment, Alvin-sama was also teleported with me. And while I was unconscious, he must have fought this demon alone.

He could have waited for everyone else, or he could have escaped from this tower by himself.

“Hey, Alvin! You, stop going in there by yourself. You’ll die sooner or later.”

“If that’s how I’m going to die, then I guess that’s the end of my life.”

However, looking back, the Alvin-sama in my memory always seemed to have no regard for danger.

He was always fighting with such a reckless style, and I had always assumed it was because of his overwhelming strength and confidence.

But then I realized that perhaps it was because he didn’t take care of himself.

“…. Why….”

Although I was able to stop the bleeding to some extent, his major injury, which was on his stomach, showed no signs of healing. I became increasingly impatient, and after thinking desperately about it, I realized something.

“…. No way.”

I was shaken and couldn’t remember, but the reason why the demon that died was of S rank was because of the power of a strong curse. Healing magic might not work on wounds caused by curses.

──In the game, Owen and Lara worked together to fight this curse, but they weren’t here now.

No matter how much the order of events might change from the game, I never imagined that an event like this would happen so early and that Lara and the others wouldn’t be there.

I still hadn’t yet learned about curse magic. Besides, curse magic seemed to be a specialized thing, and even if I had the knowledge, I wouldn’t be able to use it.

I didn’t know what to do anymore and wanted to cry.

“…. Geugh…. Ugh….”

“Alvin-sama! Please pull yourself together!”

A large amount of blood was pouring out of Alvin-sama’s mouth.

It seemed that he couldn’t see anymore, and he seemed to be in a hazy state. He didn’t seem to be able to tell who I was.

Still, my heart ached terribly at the hand that clutched me back so weakly as if clinging to me.

“I promise, I will definitely help you…!”

I gripped Alvin-sama’s cold hand tightly and muttered.

Although Alvin-sama defeated the S-rank demon that was the master of this tower, there were countless high-ranked demons before the exit.

It was obvious that there was no way I could get out safely with Alvin-sama in my arms. I would have to stay here to heal him and wait for help to arrive.

However, I also knew that Alvin-sama wouldn’t last long at this rate.

There had to be a way, I thought desperately, trying to think of a way.

“A saintess’ magic purifies everything.”

“Everything?”

“Yes. That’s why Nina, who is filled with the magical power of a saintess, shouldn’t be affected by any poisons or curses.”

“Wow, that’s convenient. I’ll cover for you guys if anything goes wrong!”

“Don’t ever do that.”

“For familiars, our magical power is their life force. No matter how injured they are, as long as they’re alive, they will revive if we supply them with magic power.”

“That’s amazing.”

“But when we supply them with magic power, we share everything with them. If the familiar dies in the process, we die too.”

“Eh… that’s quite scary.”

“That’s why, give up the dying familiar immediately. There are people who have died because they tried to save them out of love.”

Suddenly, I remembered the conversation I had with Owen and Lara.

“──Right.”

I thought of a way and hurriedly began to draw a magic circle on the ground with blood. I moved my hands frantically, trying not to get it wrong as I tried desperately to remember from my memories.

If I filled Alvin-sama with my magical power, the curse might weaken. I had just learned about supplying magic power from Lara after the summoning magic lesson.

I gently laid Alvin-sama on the completed magic circle and quietly intertwined my own hands with both of his.

Of course, I had never actually tried it and had only heard about it once. The chances of it working were slim.

But there was no other way.

“…. Please, I hope it’ll work.”

──If I failed and Alvin-sama lost his life in the process, I would die together with him.

Still, there was no hesitation. I took a deep breath and grasped both of Alvin-sama’s hands and began to supply him with magic power.
