Volsung, who discovered Onnes bloody and collapsed on the ground as soon as he got descended to the basement, rushed to his side.

Oi! You alright!?

After confirming that there are no dangers, he lowered Dirkhert from his arms. He confirms the wounds.

The wound on his side is severe, and many marks of assault remain on his body.

A El, f, sama

The wound is terrible, but he seems to be conscious. That is slightly relieving.

I will heal you know, wait

Rather than me, Lia Lia, please save her!

As Lilia is not seen anywhere, Volsung already realized that she was taken. But, he cant leave Onnes whos suffering from such large wounds. He decides that the treatment takes priority.

Its fine, shut up

Being told off by Volsung, Onnes couldnt say anything anymore. He could only accept the treatment silently.

Applying hands against the wound, he activates the recovery magic. The wound on his side quickly closes, and his body is left clean without bruises. But, he cant return the lost blood.

Dirkhert could only tightly grasp on Volsungs clothes and silently watch the treatment. Tears are surfacing from his big eyes.

Finishing the treatment, he lays the pale-faced Onnes on the bed. He whispers some chant and confirms what just happened.

It appears, that just as Volsung predicted, the bandits have grasped his weakness. Lilias mother Onnes wife has been kidnapped by the bandits. He has been threatened that they will sell her off as a slave if he doesnt cooperate.

He somehow managed to go along in order to protect his wife, but it seems he has reached the limit.

At that time, he met an elf Volsung, one of the so-calledGods messengers. He might be able to do something. While thinking so, he sneakily told him the information about the bandits.

But, because of the confirmation of the Adventurers Guild, they found out that Onnes leaked information outside and nearly killed him.

At the precise moment when they were to kill him, Volsung arrived at this house, and they left in a panic, leaving Onnes with a fatal wound, but they werent able to kill him. They must have been certain that he was going to die.

Where does this tunnel lead to?

Outside the town

I see

Volsung stands up and lifts Dirkhert up to his arms again. Thereupon, Dirkhert tightly clings to Volsung and buries his face into his shoulder.

Dirk-sama, are you all right?

Un

Lets go outside first and call over others

We are not going to save Lia?

First, we have to explain the situation to Melu and Isaru, then we will save her with everyone. We must also see Onnes to a proper hospital

Un

Onnes is stained with blood, it must be very frightening. Dirkherts is feeling down.

Say, Vol. Lia shes okay, right?

Yes, shes surely fine. Therefore, lets quickly gather everyone and save her

Volsung gently strokes Dirkherts head. Dirkhert nods his little head in reply.
