Kazuma: Emergency. It"s an urgent matter and I need help, I need someone capable of healing a soul"s injury. Is there anyone that can help me with that?Zacharias: Healing a soul? Did some sort of soul problem occur to you Kazuma?
Kazuma: No, a friend did. She is currently in a slumber right now.
Zan: There are some ancient practices Kazuma but not really sure if it will work to your friend.
Nekoyama: Nyan! It"s a complicated matter nya, soul is a difficult component of the human body to repair so I guess you would need a real expert on this nya. Sorry, I can"t help with this nya.
t.i.tan: Use your fist to fix it! Everything can be fixed with your fist!
Money lover: Just pay some money and I will give you the best solution for your problem.
Kazuma: Unfortunately, I don"t have money.
Money lover: Welp, too bad.
(System Announcement: Money lover has been muted for 10 hours: Reason: Money Grubber)
Raigaki: I think I know a method but it"s kind of risky and dangerous to the one you will have to cure. Are you willing? I suggest you wait for Tsukoyomi though because he is much more knowledgeable on this one. He is not available here at the moment.
Kazuma: Then how long will Tsukoyomi be busy until he is available?
Raigaki: He said earlier that it would take at least 3 days. I am not sure if that was the final and I am not sure whether it will be extended later or not depending on the occurrences and if there are some unprecedented events that will occur.
Zan: We will ping you if Tsukoyomi is available.
Raigaki: Thanks @Zan. @Kazuma, do you accept my medication treatment for the soul? Although it is risky but it might help a bit.
Kazuma: I really have no choice. I accept and agree to the offer.
Raigaki: Alright. Are you on the Magician Society building right now?
Kazuma: Not yet but I am heading there. Let"s meet up there right now, alright?
Raigaki: Alright.
...
After getting what I needed from the chat group, I put my phone back to my pocket and carried Mirai"s soul as I jump from roof to roof.
After a few more hours of jumping from building to building, I finally arrived back home, well, to be exact, the Magician Society building. As usual, the magicians are there, pa.s.sing back and forth, however, I have no time to observe them. Mirai"s life is at stake here and every second lost might make Mirai die.
The other magicians are looking at my way as I rush into the second floor where the lounge for the staff is currently residing. I didn"t care whether they are staring at me or not. As soon as I reach the second floor, I saw Yaya currently relaxing on the sofa while eating pizza with Moonlight, Miya, Leto, Itazura, Hikari, and Rena.
"Help! Aid her please!"
When I said that, everyone looked at me and s.h.i.+fted their gaze to Mirai"s unconscious soul.
"What happened to her?" Rena asked and vacated everyone out of the sofa so that I can lay her down.
"She was injured when she tried to reclaim her body from the one who took it," I said.
"Huh? Reclaim her body? Wait, she is a soul?" Moonlight took a closer look at Mirai before she finally noticed that she lacks the body.
"How come she is out of her body? Is she dead?" Yaya asked.
"I can sense Mana on her body," Miya said as she also looked at Mirai.
"She is not dead. Her body is just taken away from her when she is in a coma. I just discovered earlier that her body is taken by a monster of some sort that can turn a part of her body into a steel. Also, whenever I tried to damage the body, she would take all the damage instead."
"A Body Thief..." Leto murmured.
"You know about this Leto-san?" Moonlight glanced at Leto.
"Yes. I have encountered one before. However, the Body Thief stole a deceased elf at that time and not a human. I didn"t see it actually control the body itself since before the Body Thief can merge fully into the body of the dead, I absorbed the body of the dead to make sure that it won"t rise back up again."
"Can you tell me why did that elf die?" Miya got curious.
"I didn"t know actually because when I arrived in the area, the body thief is already hovering above the dead body, so I am sorry and I can"t provide any info."
"I see," Miya said and sighed in relief.
"We can discuss later. We need to heal Mirai from her wounds."
"But none of us know any method to repair her soul! From the looks of it, severe burns and injuries are present in her soul. This would take time to repair what has been inflicted," Rena said as she examined Mirai"s ghastly wounds.
"Did you already find someone to take care of this girl? She is in a dire state and if she continued to get injured, she would definitely die and disappear without going to the Nirvana if no one tended on her wounds," Miya said.
"I already contacted one. Though I am not sure whether the process he is saying will help, I can"t just let her die. There might be some sort of connection why she became a soul," I said.
"You already contacted one? Is it Tsukoyomi?" Yaya asked.
"Tsukoyomi is busy at the moment. He didn"t say he is an expert but he is willing to help."
"Who is this?" Rena asked.
"It"s Raigaki."
"Raigaki? He actually knows how to heal a soul?" Yaya looked at me with a frown.
"Yes. I did have a few knowledge and although it"s not as profound and large enough like Tsukoyomi, I am sure that I can do it too," a voice appeared in our back and Raigaki appeared.
Raigaki is a guy who seems to be similar to a normal guy. He didn"t have any overwhelming presence nor he has any kind of things that would make him totally visible. In short, he is similar to an ordinary teenager.
"This might be the first time you meet Raigaki. He is a fighter-healer magician Kazuma. In short, once he is in battle, he will be unstoppable because he will just heal himself if he is wounded. He is one of our combat medics," Rena said as she introduced Raigaki.
"I am Raigaki. Nice to meet you Kazuma. Although I am always muted for days and hours by the mods in our chat group, I am a nice guy. Nice to meet you. Now, we have to heal her. Time is running, I need everyone to cooperate with me for this one."
