Alec barely withheld the groan that wanted to leave his lips as both Elysia and Sekai harshly collided on top of him, the System cushioning both of them from the impact of the ground.
The two Main Characters panted harshly as they tried to recuperate their stamina.
The battle with Raegan – however easy he might have been taking it, was in no way easy on them.
The battle had been such a highly intense bout of blows that neither one of them dared to relax, and they were right to do so.
Elysia raised her head dizzily, no doubt a side effect from the random teleportation, and before she could open her mouth to speak, Alec grabbed the two and Main Characters and made a few more random teleports – as far away as possible – to give them more time.
He didn't know whether or not Raegan would be able to track them further, but it wouldn't hurt to be safe.
Now a lot further from that previous forest, it would hopefully be would be able to stall the Meister long enough with that stalker family member of theirs regaining consciousness and explaining that they never had contact at all.
It still infuriated him how he himself had been the cause of such a close call.
He barely held back the snarl that wanted to leave his throat.
Elysia seemed to realize that he was feeling something negative, and she patted him hard on the back, seeking to reassure him.
"Don't worry. They didn't get us now, they won't get us again next time!" she said cheerfully, and despite himself, Alec felt a little part of him relax at her words.
There was something about the sincerity of her words that helped to soothe the deeper part of himself that was always so critical.
Ye Sha, who had been keeping conspicuously quiet to prevent the loss of Alec's concentration, also sighed with relief.
While he had been able to inform Alec of the group of people that were in the forest, he wasn't able to get a read on any of them because none of them were Main Characters.
Neither could he exert any sort of outside influence on the world.
Ye Sha felt a build of frustration with himself – mainly due to his lack of a body.
For the first time, the other hated that he didn't have a physical body so that he could help his friend.
Other than the sigh, Alec did not hear any other sounds coming from Ye Sha. It made him frown.
Sekai was still fully comatose, and all Alec had to do now was to apply a counterseal to the one that was currently running amok on him.
Luckily, Sekai only had to maintain that state for two days. If it had been two weeks instead without any food or water, the other would have been half dead.
Alec himself didn't seem to realize that he was growing softer towards the idiot transmigrator.
The other wasn't so bad. He was just brash and blunt without any sort of filter.
Alec applied the seal on Sekai quickly, the smoothness of his strokes indication of how familiar he was with the seal.
Both Elysia and Alec stared at Sekai, but there didn't seem to be any change in his condition.
Alec frowned. It was just the smallest downturn angle of his lips, but it was a frown, nonetheless.
Likewise, Elysia's brows furrowed cutely. "Why isn't he waking up?"
Alec shook his head. He had no idea when it would happen. For all he knew, the other might just be sleeping right now. "It might take a bit longer for him to wake up. I can't say for sure."
Ten minutes passed, but there appeared to be no change.
By now, Alec was running through every single thing that might have gone wrong in his mind again.
Elysia couldn't handle staring at him any longer without being able to do something to help. "I'll go find drinkable water for us, then gather some firewood!"
Alec nodded in thanks, but his eyes didn't leave Sekai's slack face.
Another twenty minutes passed, and by now, Alec was all but preparing funeral arrangements for him already. For the first time, he doubted whether or not he had been able to execute the seal properly.
Sekai stirred, and Alec denied the feeling that felt suspiciously like relief.
Sekai groaned, and Alec stepped lightly on him with a dark face, drawing out an 'oof' from the man.
The transmigrator blinked bleary eyes, blinking at the dying sunlight that flitted over the skies.
His hands reflexively curled around the foot was stepping on him, and the cogs that were slowly turning in Sekai's brain suddenly clicked.
"The fuc-! Cough, cough, cough!" Sekai's throat was horribly dry due to not drinking the past two days.
Uncharacteristically, Alec froze up a bit when he heard how severe the man was coughing.
Ye Sha also coughed in Alec's mindscape, reminding him that he had things to do. Now wasn't the time to be frozen.
Alec lightly lifted his foot off the man. He would bully him later. How dare he just fall into a coma-like state like that!
He pulled out a few bottles of water and pulled the still weak transmigrator's head onto his lap. He changed his mind. He could still take petty revenge while the other couldn't fight him off.
Sekai weakly tried to fight him off, the indignation of having to place his head on another person's thigh made him livid.
This bastard was bullying him again!
Alec glared at the stubborn bastard. He was so weak already, but he was still fighting him!
The System shoved the bottle onto Sekai's mouth, who quietened down as he sipped the refreshing taste of water.
It was to this sight that Elysia came back to, and she blinked speechlessly before deciding to disregard their strange behaviour altogether.
Since she couldn't make any sense of it, then she would just pretend she understood.
Seeing Elysia's eyes on him made Sekai weakly flail around again. Alec just slapped him on the head, causing Sekai to glower at him.
"Just drink your water," Alec said dryly.
Sekai sipped the water while glaring at Alec. Alec ignored him.
Elysia crossed her arms, glaring at Sekai. "He's right, you know! You've been in a coma for two days!"
Sekai choked on the water, sputtering. "What do you mean two days?!"
Then he thought back and faintly remembered how his last memory had been Alec's alarmed expression before it went dark. "Hey! This is your fault, isn't it!"
Sekai scrambled off and sat himself upright again, and this time Alec didn't stop him.
The two exchanged glares so fiery they could have burned the previous forest down.
Elysia slapped Sekai's head in a move so reminiscent of Alec's previous one that Sekai just stared at her dumbly.
"For your information, it's apparently the doing of the creator of the seal," she scolded the transmigrator. Elysia turned to Alec and glared at him as well. "You too! You should speak up for yourself so that he doesn't misunderstand you like just now!"
Elysia was evidently on a roll, and her grievances of between the two male's interaction had been something that she'd been observing for a time. "The both of you like to go around in circles, you know that! But I know that you really do like each other!"
Both Sekai and Alec stared blankly at her. What was she talking about!?
Alec doubted his own ears at this moment. How could she say that!? They were obviously not on good terms.
Ye Sha was howling with laughter, much to his annoyance.
"Now kiss and make up!" Elysia commanded victoriously.
Sekai sputtered in disbelief. "What! First of all, you don't just command someone to kiss and make up! Especially not two guys!"
Elysia lost a bit of heat with her confusion. "What do you mean? I'm quite sure that's how it goes, isn't it? You fight, then you kiss and make up!"
"No, that's not how it goes at all! Left with no choice, Sekai had to turn to Alec, gesturing wildly. "Idiot, tell her!"
Alec smiled and tilted his head, acting confused. "What do you mean?"
"Argh!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
