Chapter 648 Ulva Kosch
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
(Ulva’s POV)
”Hmm… She closed her heart, didn’t she?”
A girl named Violet is in the room. She’s sitting next to Kriemhild’s bed.
Kriemhild is looking at the ceiling. Violet has horns on her head. That means she’s a demon.
”You demons are good at ‘mind magic’, right? Can you do something?”
Mister Rudolf is standing next to Violet.
He looks worried, looking at Kriemhild.
”Sorry… I’m a demon, but I can’t use magic. And…”
Violet looks up at Mister Rudolf, then looks back at Kriemhild.
”Mind magic can’t open a closed heart.”
”I see…”
Mister Rudolf is sad when he hears Violet.
He crosses his arms.
”Maybe ‘spirit magic’ could…”
”Hmm, ‘spirit magic’, huh… But now…”
”Um…”
I’m sitting across from Violet.
I raise my hand because I don’t know what they are talking about.
”‘Spirit magic’? You mean, Ms. Ulva?”
”Yes.”
I’m Ulva Kosch.
My left arm still hurts.
I look up at Mister Rudolf.
”There was an old civilization in this World…”
Violet looks at me.
Her eyes are so beautiful, I feel my heart beat fast.
”Now, another goddess watches over this World. But, there were 2 goddesses who made this World before.”
Violet is telling a surprising story.
The two goddesses fell asleep, and that’s why the ancient civilization ended.
But, they will probably wake up soon.
Spirit magic was magic that got help from ‘spirits’, beings that were strongly protected by the two goddesses.
Now that the goddesses have lost their power, the ‘spirits’ have disappeared, and so has the magic.
”Th-Then Kriemhild is…”
I don’t want to think about closing my heart like this…
”Jumping the gun. …Listen till the end, Ulva.”
She acts too grown-up for a girl, but it doesn’t feel bad.
Must be because she’s a long-lived demon.
Maybe she’s older than she looks.
”Jumping the gun?”
”The two goddesses, the creators, are waking up.”
Mister Rudolf’s deep, calm voice made me feel at ease.
”That’s right. One goddess has already woken up. The other should open her eyes soon too.”
”R-Really!?”
”Well, we haven’t seen any spirits yet. But I think they’ll show up once the goddesses get their power back.”
Hearing Mister Rudolf and Violet, I let out a sigh of relief.
(It’s not like this will last forever…)
Ancient civilization, 2 goddesses, spirits…
I’m surprised those things existed, but if Kriemhild can go back…
”The other goddess, Lady Lilith, will definitely wake up. ──We should worry about our friends, but for now, we wait.”
Violet said strongly.

”So… Kriemhild might really go back to normal?”
After dinner, Zamie came to visit and I told her what Mister Rudolf and Violet said.
She was quite shocked at first, but when I mentioned Kriemhild getting better, she let out a sigh and said that.
”So, how about you? I think I can leave the hospital tomorrow…”
”Really? Can you come back right away?”
”I’m fine now, and I have my strength back… but isn’t it tough to take on light quests with just the two of us?”
”Actually, um…”
Zamie told me she’s already formed a new party.
Apparently, a friend of hers who came from the Royal Capital with a thief joined a party connected to ‘Famière.’ They were invited to a celebration for conquering the Great Labyrinth Raetia, and during that, they talked about forming a new party with young members from ‘Rose Hip.’
”The members include 2 fighters, one tank, and one magician.”
”‘Rose Hip’… I heard it’s a clan full of girls. I can’t believe you got into a party with them!”
”These girls are just trainees, so they aren’t particularly bad with guys.”
”Oh, I see…”
Zamie, avoiding my glare, looked away.
”So, I can join that party when I get back? Is that really okay?”
”Of course!”
”But… won’t I be in the way?”
”Not at all! We need Ulva’s help. They’re still beginners, rank G…”
Rank G.
The lowest rank for adventurers.
But still, they’re members of the well-known clan ‘Rose Hip.’
”I think what they lack is experience.”
”Yeah… first, we can handle easy guild requests… then when they’re used to it, we can go for some real battles.”
We talked about the prospects of the new party.
”We have to make a place for Kriemhild to come back to.”
After a short silence, Zamie murmured.
”Dieter and Thelma both died in an instant… and even Porter, Etgar…”
”When Genza was killed, I could do nothing but watch.”
Our party is gone now.
Kriemhild probably knows that too.
”We start again, right? We need to make a nice Party for Kriemhild, so she can come back anytime.”
I talk gently to Zamie, who still feels bad about our friends dying and the wounds Kriemhild and I got.
”Kriemhild… Do you think she’ll be an adventurer again?”
”Don’t worry. Adventure is her thing. It’s the only way for her, you know?”
Zamie and I look at Kriemhild, sleeping quietly in her bed, and we smile a little.
