The next day, in Uta Cassiral's room, all of Greedy and his friends were searching through the security cameras after reading an instruction manual. After an hour and a half of searching, they discovered the reason for Lucy and me being kidnapped. "This is why they were kidnapped. They wanted to make a contract with the Ruler of Place and the Ruler of Time to control the kingdom, but they failed." At 4:30, Tom, who was gathering his things, said, "We have to tell Lucy everything we saw in the security camera footage." Everyone immediately agreed to his request. Lucy, who was feeding me while I was unconscious, said, "Eat so you can wake up and we can fight again." She then gently touched my hair, but Beatrice interrupted her, feigning surprise. "Is what I'm seeing real, or am I imagining Lucy taking care of Uta with such love and kindness?" Lucy's face turned bright red with embarrassment, and she moved away from me immediately. "It's impossible for me to love him. I'm only returning the favor for him risking his life to save me." A sly smile spread across Beatrice's face as she sat down. "But I didn't say anything about you falling in love with him or anything like that. I said you take care of him with love." Lucy immediately changed the subject, asking her the reason for her visit. "Why did you come to visit us?" Roichi answered him. He and his companions had entered a few minutes after Beatrice. "We checked the security camera footage, especially Beuta's, and discovered the reason for your kidnapping. He took your contracts with the Time and Space God. After investigating, we learned that if a contractor is killed, the contract passes to the killer. The Time and Space God is one of the five strongest Gods, and possessing both contracts gives a contractor unstoppable power. So you must be careful in the coming days; he might come back and kidnap you again." Lucy sighed heavily, then immediately changed the subject as if she didn't want to talk about the incident. "Have you started preparing for the tournament yet?" Gree spoke with obvious enthusiasm. "We've started preparing for the tournament. We're training with all our might so that..." "We'll win a championship, especially since she won't be participating, Tom. And after a week, you'll recover and join us to prepare for the championship." A faint smile appeared on her face as she looked at them. "Yes, I'll rest and join you, and we'll win a championship together and raise the profile of the elite class." Armin's expression turned worried as he looked at me. "But if Yuta doesn't wake up after three weeks, he'll go into a coma, and we don't know..." Lucy interrupted him loudly, automatically. "He'll wake up, and he won't go into a coma. Do you understand, Armin?" Confusion appeared on his face at Lucy's unjustified anger. "Okay, okay, calm down, Lucy. Why are you angry?" She spoke to herself in astonishment, then looked at me. "Why am I getting so worked up? Could this be possible?" Ruichi brought her out of her reverie, shaking her shoulder. "Lucy, Lucy, wake up, Lucy."
"What?" "Why are you so distracted?"
"Nothing," Tom said, changing the subject. "We have to leave late. Take care of yourself." "Goodbye, take care." At 1:30, a fever gripped me. I coughed dryly while unconscious. "Cough, cough, cough." Lucy woke up to the sound of my violent coughing. "What's happening... Yuta seems unwell." "Take his temperature." She placed her hand on my forehead and found it burning hot. "His temperature is very high. I should put a wet cloth on it, but where am I going to get one?" Her gaze fell on her navy blue dress. "It's okay, I'll tear off a piece."
She then applied ice magic to a cloth and then to my forehead. "That's good for now. I'll change it from time to time." The next day, early in the morning at 8:30, I sat up in bed, clutching my head. "What's happening? Why does my head hurt? Where am I? Oh, I'm in a hospital after I made my body's mana reflect back to me so I wouldn't be suspected." "But there wasn't a wet cloth on my forehead." My head... What am I seeing? Is it real, or am I imagining Lucy taking care of me?
"I pinched my head."
"This isn't a dream. It's real. Okay, I have to put her back in bed."
At 10:50, Lucy slowly opened her eyes, stretching her arms as she yawned. "Ugh." "When did I get back in bed? And where's Yuta? Why is his bed empty?" A look of worry and fear crossed her face. 'Could he have been kidnapped again? Is he dead? Or is his condition critical, and he's been taken to the emergency room?' I interrupted her strange and gloomy speculations. "You have a vivid imagination, Lucy. I just went to get us some food." Lucy started walking slowly towards me without saying a word, showing some signs of confusion. "Lucy, what's wrong?" She placed food on a table near me, then quickened her pace to hug me. "I'm glad you're cured and didn't go into a coma." A faint smile appeared on my face as I placed my hand on her head. "Don't worry, I won't go into a coma." "Ghibboob!" We heard a dry cough and discovered it was Beatrice. "Ahem, sorry to interrupt the romantic moment." Lucy's face turned bright red from the awkwardness, and she immediately moved away from me.
