Chapter 1035: Was That The Right Decision?
-----
Elfriedden looked at his girlfriend, Rosenheim, gently and calmly sleeping over his bed. He had barely been able to sleep at all, too worried about the health and safety of his family, who had recently metamorphosed into demonic monstrosities, to even care about his own health or to rest.
"Rosenheim…"
He had been watching over her, his brother Sapphirus, and his mother since they arrived here, constantly changing between rooms, although always staying much longer with Rosenheim, who he was the most worried about.
Even as he tried to keep calm, memories of what had happened would constantly torment his mind, thinking about the horrible thing they went through, becoming mindless monsters that tried to eat him… he couldn't help but feel a slight sense of despair, even as everything had finally ended.
Indeed, everything that happened was greatly impactful for Elfriedden, perhaps giving him yet another new trauma for the rest of his life.
"Father is now dead, the nobles, all my siblings and family members are still resting…" he sighed. "Everything is even worse than it was before. And it might become even worse in the future…"
However, Elfriedden still smiled, holding her hand gently.
"Yet it doesn't matter, as long as you, mother, and my brother are alive…" he sighed. "I don't care, as long as you're with me. I can bear with anything… Rosenheim…"
"Hm…"
"Eh?"
Suddenly, his eyes widened as he saw the elven girl slowly begin to move, her cute face started making annoyed expressions, and her eyes slowly opened, looking around herself.
"Hmm? Wha… where am I?" she muttered, yawning. "E-Elfriedden?"
"Rosenheim!" Stay tuned for updates on m-v l|-NovelBin.net
Elfriedden almost jumped over the poor girl, hugging her tightly and kissing her cheek.
"I was so worried! Are you okay? Nothing wrong with your body, right? What about your head?"
He was a very worried boyfriend.
"Hm? I'm… fine I think. Ah, though I feel a strong headache out of nowhere… I am thirsty too. Just what happened? I remember a bright red light, and then… I think I fell unconscious. I thought I would have died.
I had such a weird dream where I was some kind of monsters… And you were there, and I was chasing you, it was so horrible… I didn't want to do that, but my body would move on its own… I… I'm glad it was just a dream though."
"…"
Elfriedden remained in silence, he didn't know what to tell her.
If he just nodded at that and allowed her to move on, it would be fine.
But it would be a lie, a lie that one day might be revealed.
And if he said it was the truth, he didn't know how Rosenheim would even react, and he didn't want to upset her anymore.
Yet… his lack of response was clearer than water for the girl, she was smart.
Tears started falling from her eyes.
"My Spirit… I can't feel them…" she started crying. "My Spirit Orb feels… strangely hollow, there's something else there now- Elfriedden, was… was this nightmare… not truly a dream?"
"I…" Elfriedden muttered. "I'm sorry for not being strong enough to help you, Rosenheim… I was unable to- I was unable to do a single thing at the end! It's all my fault, you don't have to blame yourself for this…"
"W-What are you talking about?" Rosenheim wondered. "Did I really turn into- Ahh! N-No… It can't be! T-This is…!"
Rosenheim's face quickly twisted in horror, disgust of her own self, looking at her own hands, she despaired, her eyes widening as her tears would never stop coming from her eyes.
"C-Calm down!"
Elfriedden quickly went to hug her, holding her back from growing even more neurotic.
"It's fine, don't worry… N-Nobody died, everyone is okay… We were able to turn them all back," sighed Elfriedden. "I know it was traumatic but… You didn't kill a single person, don't worry."
"I didn't? Really?" wondered Rosenheim, crying on her boyfriend's shoulders. "Elfriedden… I feel like I hurt you, are you sure that-"
"It's fine… You never hurt me, it's alright… As long as you're okay, it's fine…" Elfriedden didn't let her fall into despair, making sure to make her feel loved.
Slowly, Rosenheim calmed down and sighed.
Despite everyone being healthy, the memories of being monsters remained, even as if they thought of them as nightmares or dreams.
But above all, it seemed another side effect, one much worse happened.
"Are you feeling okay?" he wondered. "Are you hungry? I'll prepare you something to eat. For now you need to keep resting, Rosenheim."
"Um… I would love to be the one making you something… Is this okay?" she wondered.
"It's fine… really, just rest there, I'll be right back," he smiled, walking away.
The young Elven Duchess sighed, sitting the bed, and covering herself with the blankets, especially her face.
For a moment, even if brief, she just wanted to forget about everything and relax…
But even with Elfriedden's efforts, those traumatic memories would linger inside of her head for much longer.
At the same time, Blake walked out of his room with Erika and Elizabeth, after he managed to calm down Erika with Elizabeth's help.
"Hah… Oh."
He entered the living room, where a big table where his friends were eating breakfast was located.
In there, Elfriedden, Chris, and the rest were there.
Chris in specific, made Blake flinch a bit.
"Chris…"
"Blake! Good morning, did ya sleep for a while?"
"Ah, yes…"
Blake smiled lightly at his friend's cheerfulness.
But a message from the grimoire only made him feel even more guilty.
[You have assimilated the power of [Mammon's True Demonic Soul (Divine Spiritual Awakening)]!]
[You have used most of its powers to heal those affected by Mammon's Soul Parasite.]
[You have used most of its powers to revive your friend, Chris.]
[Due to the errors that occurred while trying to revive Chris, the power of the Grimoire and its Authority has been used to fully revive him instead.]
[To Fully revive Chris, you have used the powers of the Divine and Demonic Soul of Mammon in combination with the Grimoire's Authority to forcefully evolve him into a [Spirit Familiar (Human)]
"Was this… the right thing to do?" he wondered.
