…*Thud *Thud
Tokaya laid her friends down and put the frog on the table. They have arrived in an abandoned room, the place where the manager of the mine used to live.
"Ngh, Bubble…" Chika cried it out. She sluggishly getting up and grabbed her frog from the table. Holding it tight in her arms. "They, *hic*, so cruel."
Tokaya, still in the cloak of black flame, asked Anko, "Can you bring it back?"
"Hmm… I don"t know, but it"s worth a try though. What about you? Are you all right in there?"
Clenching her fist tight, "Don"t worry, Tenko will heal me" she said as her skin keeps leaving her body like a wood being burned in a campfire, becoming embers.
Tokaya has a ma.s.sive faith in Tenko that she will be back safely and controlled, the event of her awakening led Tokaya to awaken hers as well. She has known about the powers between them and she doesn"t want it to go out of control, but it did. At least, Tokaya managed to control it as soon as it came out. She just needs to wait for Tenko.
*Hic *Hic
Chika is still sobbing whilst hugging her frog, Anko tapped her shoulder and said, "Give it to me." Chika was reluctant to give it away, but she has hope for Anko to heal it.
She hands it over to Anko, and then the latter went to the middle of the room and sat down there. She put the frog right in front of her, and then pulled out a [Restorative Potion I] from the back of her pocket.
Anko has been carrying one just in case they lost the backpack, and luckily her judgment was correct. However, the question still remains, can the frog still be saved?
She pours the liquid down to it, consuming all inside the bottle.
There is no reaction.
Putting both of her hands together, she activated her skill. Hushing in low voice, full of hope. "Art of the Light" opening her palm, a ball of light appeared inside. Surge of magical energy came out of her body, spiraling inside to the white ball. Opening her eyes, they have turned golden white, "Great Heal."
*Fwoooooosh*
A circle of unknown magic words appeared underneath the frog and light it up in golden white color.
*Ziiiiing*
Chika"s tears quickly stopped, but flow back out once she saw her frog, Bubblegum, flip-up from the ground. She quickly gets up and ran towards it, but stumbled before she even reaching it.
*Thud*
"Nghf" Landing face flat one the ground.
*Croak*
The tears in her eyes quickly fall even greater. Bubblegum has returned, it jumped back to her head and stayed there as it always did.
She gets up and then hugged Anko, screaming in tears of joy, "Waaaaaaaa, Anko! ANkoOOOhoOOoooo!"
Seeing her friend cries like that... soothes her heart. She never liked it and never did use healing magic. Back in her previous life, she never plays as support, it"s tiring and people that played it are rarely being given any credibility.
But now… she"s glad that she has it, she"s glad that… she has become a priest. A cla.s.s that is able to support and help her most beloved friend.
She shifted her eyes back to Tokaya and saw her smiling. Anko too smiles her way. She moves her hands and caresses Chika"s hair, hugging her tight in her arms.
*Croak*
…
Now that everything has turned to a calm. Anko is still having a fight with Chika"s frog, her croaking sound truly does annoy her somehow, especially when she"s looking at its face. So smug and proud, she hates it.
Meanwhile, Tokaya is sitting down on a chair with her skin keeps leaving her fingers, she tapped it repeatedly to her shoulder, waiting anxiously for Tenko to return.
She opened her status and saw her HP drastically going down.

She bit her frail lips, "These powers are amazing, if only that Mortality effect is not there, I would be happy to welcome this."
Tapping her feet rapidly on the ground, "Please, Tenko. Hurry. Only you can—"
*BAM*
The three quickly turned her head around and found Tenko, no, a girl as black as charcoal without face suddenly appeared from the tunnel facing down on the ground.
"Hoooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh"
Chika quickly trembled in fear, "Hiieeeeeeeeee."
Anko quickly drew a circle, preparing her spell to attack her. "No, STOP!!" screamed Tokaya.
"B-But that"s…"
Tokaya gestured her hand, telling Anko to lowered her hands… and she did.
Turning her head back to the faceless girl, she knows that it"s Tenko. She then lowered her body down to her and a.s.sisted her upper body to get up.
Tokaya knelt and then caresses her face, "Hey, hey, don"t worry. I"m here. We"re safe."
"Hoooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh."
Tenko"s hand moves and then hugged Tokaya in her embrace, she does the same and hugged her tightly, whispering as she stroke her back, "Leave all that worries, Tenko. You have saved me… Saved us."
The dark hands following Tenko are slowly taking Tokaya"s flames down with them, they slowly burn it, but the hands keep coming and coming until eventually take all the black flame away from her, and the dark hands too, have gone.
Tokaya has returned normal, her skin has returned to its wonderful silky texture. Her face, her hair, all of it has reverted back to its formal state. However… Tenko did not.
"Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh."
