Chapter 249 Now Then
"Yes. I'm surprised. Really, thank you. Her color is back, and her breathing is normal. But, her consciousness is still..."
So, it means the system worked, right? That's good enough.
"I see. I'm glad it worked. Then, while we're at it, let's add 'Dis Recover (Cure Disease)', 'Regenerate (regeneration spell)', and 'Mana Recover (mana recovery spell)' to 'Full Recover'. How does that sound?"
"...Master. Her eyelids are..."
I understand now. Since she hadn't been alive until now, it's likely her mana was depleted. So even if the revival worked, she didn't wake up. That means maybe 'Mana Recover' did the trick.
"'Mana Recover'. Yeah. She's moving now."
"Mary, Maryetta, can you hear me?"
"...Huh? ...Oh, uncle? Good morning."
It's like the girl named Maryetta just woke up from a long sleep. She's probably around 15? She seems a bit younger than Maya-chan.
Is it okay to call her Maryetta-chan? Or should it be Maryetta-san? I can't tell her age. She looks confused, probably because she doesn't understand the situation.
Well, that makes sense. Jag-san is crying. It can't be helped. Yeah, it can't be helped. He even blamed himself because her niece was beaten by Bergalide. Yeah, it can't be helped.
Still, 'Resurrect' is amazing. I knew it could last for 2 or 3 days, but 3 months? That's a new record, right? Or is it because my mana is just that high? I wonder if there are times when it consumes more mana than usual, and that's when the effect gets stronger. Could that be it? But no, that can't be...
After that, Jag-san left Maryetta-chan at the shrine and told her to rest. He quickly called her parents, who are also his cousins, to explain the situation later. It all took just 5 minutes. He came out of the shrine right away.
Wow, he must be really smart compared to me. Am I really okay being his master? Seriously...?
"Master, I'm not sure how to express my gratitude, but thank you."
"It's fine, it's fine. It was just a random idea. And you know, about Maryetta-chan, the system of this world make her 'alive and good,' right?"
"Yes! Anyway, let's go back."
"Yeah. Let's do that. Now we have more things we can do, right?"
We hurried with Centrena and Danjeon, and Jag-san and I returned to the top of the rocky mountain where Maya-chan and the others were waiting. The first to greet us was Mother (Privia).
"Oh, you're back. So, how did it go?"
Yeah, she has that usual expression, like she doesn't think we failed at all.
"Yes, Mother. I succeeded for 3 months."
"Oh wow, that's amazing!"
"Well, since it's brother, I guess that's how it is. Mother and I were talking about it."
Maya-chan and Mother are nodding at each other.
"So, that means it's about that, right, Tatsuma-kun?"
"That's right, Mother. Neta-san, are you here?"
"Yes, I'm here, Tatsuma-sama."
Then, right in front of me, kneeling down, appears my personal Cat-people man, Dorchuneta-san. She really was here. I can't help but think of her as a bodyguard or a ninja. By the way, she's the real older sister of Maya-chan's personal bodyguard, Berberiguru-san.
"Hey, after this commotion is over, could you please look for the remaining missing people who are said to have been kidnapped? Of course, if they were buried, I want to know where too."
"Understood. I will go now."
"No, no, no, not right now! Uh..."
I meant later, but she just left...
"I apologize. Since she is my older sister, I hope you can understand."
Her younger brother, Berberiguru-san, appeared in front of us, giving a wry smile and saying sorry.
"Ber-san, Ber-san."
"Yes, Maya-sama."
"I'm asking you too."
"Of course."
And just like that, he disappeared in an instant. As expected of siblings.
Anyway, we start discussing what to do next. It's just us and Jag-san. Also, the members of the security department who are participating in this operation.
"Um, first, I have a report. Jag-san's niece... has come back to life."
""""""""""...Huh?"""""""""""
Everyone except Jag-san is reacting the same way. It's been a while since I've seen such shock. Maya-chan and Mother seem to be like, "Of course."
"I don't like this, everyone. You know I can use that kind of magic, right?"
Jag-san is bowing to everyone next to me.
"Thanks to Master, my niece has woken up. My family was surprised and stunned, but I think they are happy to be reunited now. I'm really sorry for the worry I caused."
Jag-san talks as if his niece had been sick for a long time. Well, that's true. For him, it was a long and bad dream.
The Head of Security, Alverate-san, is raising his hand. I reach out as if to say, "Go ahead."
"Um, I know that Tatsuma-sama has mastered Healing Attribute magic because of the Bergalide incident, but I received a report that the girl in question passed away about 3 months ago."
Ah, so that was common knowledge. Jag-san is the head of the shrine department, and if that Count's niece had died, the funeral would have been significant.
Well, honestly, I don't really understand why I was able to revive a niece who had been dead for 3 months.
In the first place, just like many mysterious phenomena that haven't been explained in this world, the reason why the Healing Attribute magic I use works is the same.
It can only be explained by saying that the system of this world has decided it that way.
"Honestly, I don't know why this Healing Attribute magic works. So this time, I just thought, 'Maybe if I try it, it will work?' That was it. The difference this time was that when I revived that girl, I lost consciousness and collapsed. It seems like I used a huge amount of mana, way more than I usually do."
