The place was what could be described as a hospital for the injured.
　Most of the people being treated there are Mercurio soldiers, some of whom have been taken prisoner.
　There must have been reports here that the punitive force surrendered. Many of the people who worked there smiled.
　Some of the soldiers in the expeditionary force under medical treatment look sad.
　They probably don't want to believe that they lost.
　He had, however, prepared more than four times the strength of Mercurio's army.
　Given the circumstances, it's safe to assume that we'll win.
　Still, the reason why the punitive force could not believe their defeat and did not go on a rampage was because they did not want to cause trouble to the other party who treated their wounded wounds.
　However, most of the treatments at this clinic are done using drugs.
　The number of people who can use recovery magic is not so great, only those who are seriously ill and have no time to lose, and the kind of potions will be used for those who are seriously injured, if not as bad as recovery magic.
　This is only natural because Mercurio's army did not originally have a lot of potions compared to the punitive force.
　As a result, treatments are mainly made with drugs that are cheaper than potions.
　In such a place Ray appears alone and looks around.
　There's no such thing as Seto with me all the time.
　Seth had left him as a bodyguard for Mercurio because he thought he might frighten those who were not yet accustomed to him if he took him to the clinic.
　The surrender of the expeditionary forces has reduced the danger to Mercurio and his surroundings, but it is not always the case that the defeated expeditionary soldiers will not seek his life.

(and Cet is not compatible with Rodos.)

　After all, Seto hates Rodos, perhaps because his first impression of meeting him was the worst.
　This was very unusual for an ordinary friendly set.
　One aspect was that if we brought him to see Rodos, he would not be interested in each other.
　However, according to Ray's story from Theoreum, Rodos is unconscious and shows no sign of waking up.
　Looking around for Rodos, it is a Mercurio treatment center with 10,000 men.
　Therefore, the number of soldiers receiving treatment and resting is quite large, along with the number of soldiers on the punitive force side.
　Deciding that it is impossible to find Rodos by himself, Ray tries to ask a person who passes by... stops moving.

"... Hey, why are you here?"

　When Ray unexpectedly asks an unexpected person with a straight face, the person opens his mouth unexpectedly.

"Well, you mean that there are not many people who can use recovery magic. Fortunately, many of the water spirits I use can be used to recover. So, in exchange for cooperation in the treatment, I was given some expediency in the treatment of prisoners of war."

　The person who tells you so... Digma quickly uses the magic of water spirits to throw water at the seriously injured.
　When the water covers the body of a soldier whose sides are cut apart and whose internal organs are sticking out, the face of the soldier moaning in pain turns into a peaceful one.
　His ability to use recovery magic only to those who had not moved an inch while talking to Ray, and who had been precisely seriously injured, showed that the so-called Mizuryu Digma had not been obtained solely by combat capability.

(In that sense, I'm the one who lost.)

　Ray, who understands that he specializes in combat, envies Digma's appearance.

(What if I were to be given a nickname other than battle...)

　Ray's mind recalls many of the acts he has done since he came to Elgin, and eventually draws a conclusion.

(Cooking Ray?)

　Udon noodles spread in guillem have already become popular in surrounding towns, and seafood okonomiyaki made in the port city of Emosion has a good reputation.
　shake one's head at once, thinking that even in the imperial capital...

(It's obviously a nickname to be underestimated, isn' unless you think you'll cook your partner for a blood festival."

　Digma looked at Ray with some interest, but decided that time would go by in vain, so she spoke.

"And what on earth did you come here to do?"
"Huh? ... Oh, come to think of it, that's it." Actually, I heard that Rodos is in this clinic. I came here to see what was going on, because you said something was wrong."
"Rodos... you were in the competition, too." Oh, I'm sure there are. It's just... It's no use meeting him now. I think I used magic items that have a lot of side effects, and there is something wrong with my body."

　an instant digma to Ray's words
　With so many injured people, I immediately understood who Rodos was referring to because his symptoms were so characteristic.

"What exactly?"

　For Ray, Rodos is the son of his friend Elk, who has many connections.
　They were never close friends, but it is also true that if they die, they will lose face to Elk and his wife, Min.

"I'm unconscious. I treated him as much as I could with my spiritual magic, but I'm not sure if he'll come back to consciousness. Also, if they do return, there is a possibility that some kind of aftereffects will remain."
"...I see,"

　Digma's words shut Ray's eyes for a few seconds and then open his mouth.

"I'd like to ask you if it's your sensibility to use recovery magic, but is it possible that Rodos will wake up and be able to live as an adventurer again?"
"Well, 10% of the respondents are able to work as usual without any side effects, 30% have minor aftereffects, and 20% have serious aftereffects."
"... forty percent left?"

　In answer to the question, Digma shakes her straight face sideways.
　It was clear what it meant.

"I see,"

　mutter and breathe out a sigh
　If possible, I want you to regain consciousness. I think so, but if serious aftereffects remain, that would be a shock to Rodos.

"What should I do? Let's see."

　Ray shakes his head when he asks again.

"No, if you're unconscious, it's no use looking at me now. I'll show up when the civil war is officially over."
"Well, I see. Is the punitive force defeated in the civil war?'
"Oh,"

　A brief answer is made, judging that it is still best not to say that Kabazid took responsibility for the defeat by his own life.
　It's also because Ray hasn't been able to organize his feelings for cabbages yet.
　For more than a dozen seconds, each other shut up.
　However, we are in the treatment center without speaking to each other.
　Naturally, the soldiers' groaning voices echoed around them.

"Is Vichela safe?"

　Digma broke the silence.
　The sudden appearance of the name causes Ray to tilt his head slightly and quickly convince himself.
　Who knocked down the bear?
　Given that, it was not so strange that the name should appear here.

"It's all right. I don't think he's going to show any more."

　That's why Ray came back to his headquarters to get instructions from Mercurio and Theoreum on how to wrap up this civil war.
　But for Digma, Ray probably couldn't understand it. open one's mouth slightly frowning

"Why? Vichela, who has done such a great job, will give up his achievements? Around His Highness Mercurio... No, no."

　Digma was also taken prisoner by Vihela and had a brief conversation with Mercurio after he regained consciousness.
　Vihela was the one who captured Digma at that time, so there was talk about Vihela.
　That being the case, of course, I understand how much Mercurio cares about his sister, and I think it is impossible for him to deprive her of her achievements.
　That's true, and that's why Digma can't understand why Vihela gives up her achievements so easily.Digma, who has always been in the spotlight for her beautiful face, doesn't quite understand what Vihela is thinking.
　However, the underlying reason for this is Digma's love of strength and beauty.

"Vihela is running away from the Vestian Empire, as you may know if you are from the Vestian Empire. That's why you don't want to stand out, do you? That's why we don't reveal our true position, and we're going to disappear quietly."
"What!"

　I'm going to. I'm going to force Ray to say that, and Digma screams.
　His voice is full of force as a Rank A adventurer, and the injured people around him are involuntarily frightened.
　But Ray was leaning his head, not knowing what the bear was so excited about.

"The Vichela is going to disappear! Where are you going?"

　The bear was about to attack me, but I couldn't tell him unless Ray knew where Vihela was going.
　There are a few places where I think... but that's just Ray's guess, and it's not certain.
　More than that, I felt sure it would be troublesome to tell Vihela where she was going.

"If you ask me that," But I mean to leave the country, and not leave the Empire of Bestia?"
"I see. ... I see. ...what!? Leaving the Empire of Bestia!"

　a dogma with a straight face that asks
　Seeing such a bear, Ray nods, wondering if this man was such a pain.

"You ran away, and I think that's a matter of course?"
"No, not around the imperial capital, but somewhere in the frontier or countryside of the Empire of Bestia..."
"...that's not without the possibility..."

　It's impossible, isn's possible. an insinuating ray
　For better or worse, Vihela stands out in the Westian Empire.
　His looks and abilities won't allow him to spend time quietly in any countryside.
　In addition, Vihela himself cannot imitate living in seclusion in the countryside, as long as he is a combat freak.

"Then I should leave the Empire of Bestia?"
"Can we decide so easily?"

　Being nicknamed Mizuryu, Digma is one of the most powerful figures in the Westian Empire.
　Since the powerful man says he will leave the country without hesitation, it must be a very boring event for the Westian Empire.
　As long as the adventurer is an individual, he cannot be coerced into the country.
　I couldn't, but... still, for the Westian Empire, I would have liked to prevent a man like Digma from going to another country.
　The most compelling thing to do is to deal with the notorious Rank A adventurer.
　Even if you try to do something with careless military power, if you can do something with it, you won't have a nickname, and there's even a risk that the entire military power will disappear.
　In order to make sure that something was done, it was necessary to have someone with higher powers, or else... to tie them to the country with money, women, and power.
　However, the higher the rank of adventurer, the higher the reward, the more women are, and many are not particularly interested in power.
　And for Ray, it's not a bad story that the powerful Digma disappears from the Westian Empire.
　Given the possibility of fighting in a war against the kingdom of Milliana, I would even suggest it positively.
　Digma, who use water spirit magic, are good at fighting against many using the infamous water dragon, and, as you can see in the treatment center in this way, they are also good at recovering magic, which is not widely available.

"What do you say? Adventurers are free beings. You should follow your own heart and live freely."
"... well, if that's all right with you, I don't mind."

　Ray returns it to the digma, and he notices a soldier approaching the entrance to the clinic.

"Captain Ray, Lord Mercurio is ready, and we want you to come as soon as possible."
"Well, I see. That's why I'm going now. Please take good care of Rodos."
"Oh,"

　After a brief conversation, Ray walks out of the hospital with his soldiers.
