The depraved hero unhesitatingly uncorked the bottle and gulped down the panacea.
"——Trying to die, huh? I'll grant you that!"
The magic power that had nearly run dry surged back in an instant, sweeping away the fatigue from the all-night battle, leaving her vibrant and invigorated.
Feeling the perfect state immediately attained, the hero's initially solemn expression broke into a faint, bittersweet smile, as she quickly reached out to grab the arm of her other self.
"Alright, shall we go together this time?"
The depraved hero halted her charge, glanced back at her, and sneered.
"Just don't get in the way."
The hero smiled, saying nothing more, merely closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.
