Chapter 21: Farewell and Inheritance ①

Translated by AmaLynne

Edited by AmaLynne

It had been almost five years since Sam and Ur had met.

―――Suddenly, Ur collapsed.

The fact that Ur, who had been so healthy for the past four years that even killing her would not kill her, collapsed without warning came as a great shock to Sam.

During the training, she had been smiling and shooting magic all the time, but when she suddenly turned pale and crouched down holding her chest, Sam’s blood ran cold.

It was Ur herself who calmed the distraught Sam down.

Breathing hard, she told him that she would be better after some rest.

So Sam carried her on his back and returned to the small inn he was using as a base.

And now.

She was sleeping peacefully on a bed in a small town near the royal capital of Sky Kingdom, Ur’s hometown, and Sam was watching over her without leaving her side.

(What happened to Ur? Sickness? But she hadn’t shown any signs of it for the past four years. Could it be that I just didn’t notice, but Ur wasn’t feeling well?)

She said she’d get better after a rest, but she’s been asleep for half a day now.

It was already dark when the sun went down.

A feeling of anxiety ran through Sam that perhaps Ur would never wake up.

Sam prayed to God for the first time since his reincarnation in this world.

「……n……Sam.」

As Sam sat in the chair beside the bed and continued to pray, he was suddenly called out.

Ur had woken up.

Sam kicked the chair and rushed over to her.

「How are you feeling, Ur?」

He called out anxiously to his beloved mentor, who was still pale.

Then she forced herself to smile.

「I’m fine, of course.」

「Don’t lie to me. I didn’t expect you to collapse… If you’re not well, you should tell me you are.」

「Don’t look so pathetic, boy.」

Ur gently stroked Sam’s gloomy head.

「If you’re awake, let’s go to the hospital. If you can’t, I’ll get you a doctor.」

It’s a small town, but there are doctors there.

If the town doctor doesn’t work, we can head to the Royal Capital.

「No doctors.」

But Ur’s words were something Sam did not expect.

「Why not!」

He couldn’t help but raise his voice.

Then Ur made a somewhat soothing sound.

「I know about my body.」

「But that doesn’t mean―――」

「Sam, listen to me. I won’t be around much longer.」

「―――Wha?」

Sam couldn’t believe his ears.

No, he could hear, but he didn’t want to accept what Ur had said.

「Wh-What are you talking about? You don’t know what to say and what not to say anymore, do you?」

Sam felt an inexplicable uneasiness when Ur suddenly said something weak.

He had never seen Ur this weak before.

She had always been strong, confident, and sometimes arrogant.

This was the first time he had ever seen Ur look so weak.

「Calm down, Sam. I’m suffering from an incurable disease.」

「What?」

「It’s a malignant disease with no known cause and no known cure. It’s a rare disease that affects people with strong magical powers.」

「That’s, but, Ur.」

Sam was upset by Ur’s confession, but she didn’t care and went on with her story.

「I’m sorry for keeping it from you, but I’ve been feeling better.」

She doesn’t give Sam time to accept or digest her words.

「To tell you the truth, when they found out I was sick, they said I wouldn’t last a year.」

「…such.」

「So I left everything behind and went off without telling my family about my illness. All so that I could find my successor.」

Ur looked at Sam and smiled.

「And I found the person I was looking for. My dear discipline, Sam.」

「Wait, Ur! One year? We’ve been together for four years!」

「I wondered, too. I also wondered if the disease had been cured. But the disease is still the disease.」

「We must find a doctor, a doctor! In a city as big as Royal Capital, there must be a doctor who can cure Ur!」

Ur quietly shook her head at Sam’s suggestion.

「I’m sorry, but I’ve always lived in the Royal Capital. I’ve used all the contacts available to me and had both renowned doctors and wizards take a look at me. The result was that I had one year left.」

「…No way, what am I supposed to do now?」

「But life is a funny thing. The light of my life lasted not one, but four years. I owe it all to Sam.」

「Ur, stop it! Please don’t say that. We will continue to adventure, laugh, and be together.」

Sam shouted at Ur, who sounded as if she had already been defeated by the disease.

There was no way he could let his master die like this.

No matter what it takes, she wants to keep him alive.

No matter what it takes, even if it means giving up his own life.

Sam really thought so.

「I know these will be my last words, so I’ll say them. ―――I love you, Sam.」
