Chapter 48 Finas Perspective 5

Before going to the Royal Capital, its time for Finas perspective!

Though I intended to write this earlier, I forgot.

Mother was in pain when I woke up this morning.

Her suffering was different from usual.

She wasnt conscious.

There was no response, no matter how much I called her.

I tried to give her medicine, but she didnt swallow it.

Even so, I did my best to get her to swallow it.

However, her condition didnt improve.

A lot of sweat was running down Mothers forehead.

My younger sister, Shuri, was standing next to the bed with a worried expression, calling out Mother! Mother!

In this situation, it was no use.

There was nothing we could do.

Shuri, please look after Mother.

Big Sis?

Ill be going to Uncle Gentzs place, so dont worry. If its Uncle Gentz, he should be able to do something.

I patted my sister on her head, and then headed to Uncle Gentzs home.

He shouldnt have gone to work yet.

I ran.

Few people were out and about this early, so it was easy to run.

When I arrived at Uncle Gentzs house, I pounded on his door with all my strength.

Uncle! Uncle Gentz!

Uncle appeared after I beat on the door.

Whats the matter, this early in the morning?

M-mother is!

Whats wrong with Tirumina?!

Shes in a lot of pain! Its different from normal!

I couldnt stop my tears any more.

Even though she drank her medicine, she didnt get better!

Lets go to your house.

Uncle Gentz started running to my house.

I also ran as if my life depended on it.

I couldnt see Uncle Gentzs figure anywhere when I arrived at the house.

When I entered the house, Uncle Gentz was calling out to Mother in a loud voice.

However, there was no reaction.

d.a.m.n it!

Uncle Gentz looked at Shuri and me.

Im going to go look for medicine. You two look after your Mother.

As Uncle Gentz flew out of the house, I grasped my Mothers hand.

Shuri held Mothers hand together with me.

Please. Somehow, save Mother.

If there is anything I can do, Ill do it, so-

No matter what, please dont take Mother away from us.

I beg of you

Mother

Fina, Shuri

Mother!

Mother regained consciousness!

My wish was heard.

Fina, Shuri, Im sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

Mother hasnt done anything bad.

Tears welled up in Mothers eyes.

Mother.

It might be useless already. If mother happens to die, you must rely on Gentz. If its that person, he will surely help you.

Mother spoke as if she was in great pain.

Was mother going to die?

I didnt want to think about it.

Im sorry, you two. You had to put up with someone like me.

She squeezed our hands, which were clasped in hers, with a frail strength.

How long has it been since Uncle Gentz went out?

He hasnt come back.

It might have only been three minutes or so, but I felt like hours had already pa.s.sed.

Hurry and come back soon!

Uuu.

Mothers suffering began again.

Someone, anyone, please help.

Shuris small hand squeezed mine strongly.

I cannot give up here!

Shuri.

Shuris eyes turned towards me.

They looked anxious.

Hold on to Mothers hand, okay?

Big Sis.

It might be useless, but if its that person!

I left Mother to Shuri and rushed towards Big Sis Yunas house.

I couldnt complain that I was tired.

I could see Big Sis Yunas house, the Bear House.

I opened the front door without knocking.

Big Sis Yuna!

Big Sis Yuna was there when I entered the house.

Whats wrong?

B-Big sis, Yuna, m-my mother has!

It was no good. My voice wouldnt come out.

Calm down first.

My mother was in pain, andeven though she drank medicineit was no goodI went to see Uncle Gentz, buthe went out to look for medicine and hasnt come backI-I, what should I do?

My tears wouldnt stop, even as I looked at Big Sis Yunas face.

Even though I came here, Big Sis Yuna wasnt a doctor or a pharmacist.

However, if it was Big Sis Yuna, I was sure she would be able to do something.

Big Sis Yuna gently placed her hand on my head.

Un, I understand, so can you guide me to your house?

I guided Big Sis Yuna to my house.

After we arrived and entered, Uncle Gentz was there.

Had he obtained medicine?!

Fina. Bear missy, youre also here.

Uncle Gentz, what about the medicine?

Sorry.

He lowered his head.

If it was such an easily obtainable medicine, then Uncle Gentz should have been able to obtain it.

Thats why I couldnt get angry at Uncle Gentz.

I approached my Mother.

She was suffering so badly that I could barely bear to look at her.

Gentzifsomethinghappensto memy daughtersplease

What are you doing?! Saying things like that!

Isure gave youa lot oftroublethe medicineand FinaThank you

Dont worry about that! If you sleep, youll get better, so dont talk any more!

Shuri, Fina, come here, let me see your faces one last time.

Mom!

I couldnt see Mothers face because of my tears.

Mother embraced us with her feeble hands.

Im sorry that I couldnt give you anything. And, thank you, Shuri, Fina.

She separated from us and looked at Uncle Gentz.

Gentz, please look after the two of them.

I get it, so dont say any more. Looking after these two will be troublesome for me, so you just rest and recover from your illness.

Gentz, thank you.

Mother closed her eyes.

It looked like she wasnt able to open them anymore.

I tightly grasped Mothers hand.

Her hand was cold.

At this rate, she wont ever open her eyes again?

She wont ever call my name again?

Mother, Mother, Mother!

Pomf pomf.

I heard the strange sound of something being hit behind me.

When I turned around, Big Sis Yuna was clapping her hands.

For starters, the three of you, please calm down.

Big sis?

I dont know if I can do anything, but Ill take a look, so let me through.

Big Sis Yuna separated us from the bed.

Please hold on a little longer.

Big Sis Yuna placed her Bear Hands on top of Mothers body.

Cure.

Mothers body shone with light.

That brilliance gave a pure and warm feeling, as if a G.o.d was there.

Mothers breathing slowly settled down.

The sound of Mother taking suffocated breaths had just died down.

Heal.

A different magic was activated next.

Mothers eyes slowly opened.

Then, as if nothing was wrong, she got up from the bed.

Theres no pain.

Mom!

I rushed up to her.

Looks like I succeeded somehow.

Miss, what did you do? It was as if you were a priestess from the heavens. No, never mind that, miss, thank you.

Uncle Gentz expressed his grat.i.tude to Big Sis Yuna.

Thats right. I also need to thank her.

Big sis Yuna, thank you.

After that, Uncle Gentz and Mother began to talk about repaying the favor.

Thats right. I had asked Uncle Gentz about this before.

He had said that asking a priest to cure Mothers disease would require paying a large amount of money.

I recalled that the amount of money was a super high amount.

There was nowhere close to that much money in my house.

However, she was my mothers savior.

If I could do it, I would repay it, even if it took my whole life.

While I was thinking that, unexpected words came out of Big Sis Yuna.

I dont particularly need money or anything. I only wanted to protect Finas smile.

I think Im going to cry again.

I wondered if it was possible to repay all of Big Sis Yunas kindness while I was still alive?

But, in that case-

Thats right, if theres anything that I can do, please say it!

Once Ive recovered, Ill do anything!

Thats right. Even if Big Sis Yuna says that a reward isnt necessary, its not good.

If there was something that I could do, I would do it.

However, the moment Uncle Gentz and Mother said anything, the sides of Big Sis Yunas lips rose up.

In that case, I have a favor for the two of you, one that you cannot decline.

Big Sis Yuna started to say such things.

The atmosphere in the room became heavy.

I wondered what she would say.

Big Sis Yuna looked over the room, before finally resting her gaze on Shuri and me.

Fina, please go with your sister to buy some delicious food, as well as something nutritious for your mother to eat.

Having said so, she handed me money.

Was it something that she didnt want us to hear?

Big Sis Yuna, what do you plan on saying to Mother and Uncle Gentz?

However, what Big Sis Yuna said was correct, since Mother needs something nutritious.

In the end, it was decided that I would go look for nouris.h.i.+ng food, along with Shuri.

I was anxious, but it couldnt be helped.

Fina Big Sis Yuna, thank you for curing my mother.

Yuna You dont have to worry about it.

Fina As thanks, let me give you something important to me.

Yuna Were both girls, you know.

Fina I know. However, other than that, I dont have anything else that I could give you.

Yuna Fina

Fina I offer my life to you, Big Sis Yuna. Please accept it!

Yuna Thats really important in a different meaning!!
