“I’m really glad you got to wake up though.”
“Olivia looked so worried all the time.”

I see.
All that time I was worrying about protecting Olivia, but she also worried about me while I was gone.

“We were also worried about you though.”
“Mhm me too.”
“Nah, I’m sure you missed her food more than anything else.”
“I-I was actually worried! And I’m thankful she’s back too!”

Hearing them talk like that brings a smile to my face.
I never noticed before, but it seems everyone appreciated my food more than I realized.

“But it’s not just us, everyone is grateful for you Natalia, even the seniors that already graduated, and the students that haven’t arrived back from their break.”
“Mhm, and that’s why…”
“I really hope you can forgive us.”

What?

“We couldn’t stop her no matter what we tried.”

What are they talking about? Before I can ask, they all step away.

“Sorry for the waittt~”

I nervously turn to Olvia and the plate she’s bringing.

“Th-Thank you for-”

This is the second shock I’m having today.
What… am I looking at?

“This is Olivia’s special stew.”

STEW?! But this looks more like bubbling purple slime with coal and ashes mixed in?!

“This was my first time cooking so it might not look the best, but I really put my best into it.”

She tells me with a slightly embarrassed smile.
That’s not fair! I have no choice but to eat it now!

I grab a spoon and scoop up some of the stew (if it could even be called that) and plunge it into my mouth before I could even smell it.

“Ghgh!”

An intense pain assaults my tongue and spreads to the rest of my body.
I feel like I deserve a medal for not throwing up right away.
But what is this thing?! It’s awfully sweet, bitter, sour, and spicy all at once!

Unappetizing doesn’t even cut it to describe it! This is basically as bad as the pain Flute put me through!

I look up and see Olivia is watching me very attentively, looking forward to my reaction.

…Argh whatever!

I take a deep breath and take a second spoonful.

“It looks like you’re having fun then.”
“I mean… okay, I guess you can call it fun.”

After I relate all my experiences so far, she smiles happily while sitting next to a flower bed, where she came to see me.

“And so, how’s Olivia taking it?”
“Well… she seemed pretty stressed with what happened to me, but I don’t think she got fed up with me at least.
I guess she appreciates my loyalty enough?”
“Loyalty… only that?”
“Hm? Is there anything else? Like if she thinks of me as family?”
“Listen now…”

For some reason she massages her temples while sighing.
Why is she reacting that way though? She built this body so I could support and help Olivia, and I thought I was doing just that.

“Nevermind.
It’s not something I should intervene with, it’ll all depend on what Olivia does.”
“What do you mean?”
“Forget I said anything.
Also, I think you should be heading back soon or you might not make it.”
“Huh? That can happen?!”
“Just look at yourself, you were barely visible at first but you’re looking more solid now.
If you fully materialize here it’ll mean you actually died.”

She’s right, I looked more like a shadow when I first got here, but now I can hardly see what’s behind me.

“Wh-What should I do then?!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll send you on your way.”

Saying that she stands up and slowly raises her palm at me.

“Divine thunder, tear through the skies.”
“Huh? What are you-”
“Show the world your might.”
“Wait, no-”
“Lightning of Wrath.”
“Gyaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!”

Ophelia’s powerful lightning magic knocks me away from the entrance to that world and back to reality.

“…a! …ta…a! Natalia!”
“Hah?!”

Olivia’s voice shakes me awake.

Huh? I feel like I was just talking to Ophelia, even though she passed away, was that a dream? Or had I actually gotten that close to dying?

“That was so weird.
It seemed like you were eating and then you just froze.”

Oh right, I’m supposed to be eating Olivia’s special cooking right now.

“My apologies, Young Lady.”
“No, it’s fine.
But maybe you should try eating a bit more to regain your spirits if you still aren’t feeling the best.
There’s a lot left so eat as much as you want.”

Olivia innocently picks up a piece of charcoal with a fork and brings it close to my mouth.

Through the corner of my eye I see the students huddled together.
One of them is crying, another is trembling while embracing her head, and another is covering her eyes while shaking her head.

Yeah… I know.

After that I kept getting bounced between the Gardeland mother and daughter many times.

I guess this is what it feels like to be murdered.
By who you ask? By both of them.

Eventually I figured out that I can open my magic storage inside my mouth and pretend to eat while throwing away everything that got in my mouth.
I’m sorry Olivia.
But I feel like I’ll actually die if I finish eating all of this.
