While the others began to resist time, the conversation between Veldora and Dagruel continued.
"Veldora, huh? How did you manage to appear at the perfect moment?"
It was incomprehensible to Dagruel that 'Spatial Transportation' was performed in the middle of the "Suspended World." It was an insane act to come from a distant place with pinpoint accuracy, even if it was within the visible range.
"Well, you know what I mean. Heroes always make a good appearance," Veldora answered in a knowing manner to Dagruel's question. It was not the answer he was hoping for, but Dagruel was satisfied because it was Veldora's way.
To Dagruel, Veldora made a ridiculous proposal.
"So, Dagruel. I'd like to talk to you about something."
"What is it?"
"If time stands still, won't people know how good-looking I am?"
Dagruel thought to himself, What the hell is he talking about?
Once time is stopped, there is not much effort to maintain it. However, it is a hassle in its own way, so there is no need to deal with it. This aspect also shows Dagruel's good relationship with Veldora.
Veldora said, "If you can move anyway, there is no reason to keep stopping time. That's why I want you to start over."
"Hmm?"
"I want to make my appearance again just in time for time to start moving. I'll catch your fist right in front of Luminas' eyes."
"..."
"That's how I need to impress Luminas."
"May I ask why?"
"What, it's simple. I've done many things in my time. Luminas has a bit of a grudge against me. I'm here to make a good impression on her and ingratiate myself to make it all go away."
Even Dagruel was disgusted by this story that did not benefit him in the slightest. Therefore, he retorted as if he were soothing a child.
"Hmmm. I'm going to cancel 'Time Stop' myself, but there's no reason for me to go along with your farce."
He had a good point. Yes, Dagruel had no reason to go along with Veldora. He was a good-natured guy even if he was just listening to him. In fact, if you are dealing with someone who can move in the "Suspended World," there is no point in stopping time. It would have been pointless, as it would have wasted time and energy.
But that is the case when there is only one opponent. The moment Dagruel releases the time-stopping state, he has to deal not only with Veldora but also with Luminas. Shion will be revived by Luminas, even though she is down now. This would be more troublesome than now, so it was worthwhile to keep the "Suspended World."
However, Dagruel was concerned that not only Ultima but also Luminas might recognize the "information particle" and that the current advantage might be lost if this situation continued. Dagruel was concerned that the current advantage would be lost. If so, it would be like letting the enemy gain experience. If that is the case, I would like to cancel the "Suspended World" as soon as possible, but Veldora keeps on complaining.
"Well, aren’t you a breath of fresh air? Since I have bowed down to you so much, why don't you lend me a favor?” he insisted, as if it were a matter of course, with his selfish logic.
Dagruel let out a big sigh of exhaustion. And then there was Luminas, who could understand Dagruel's feelings very well.
(You rotten lizard, I'll shimmy you later!) Luminas turned red and became furious. If she could have moved now, she would have kicked him. Veldora's attitude was so infuriating that she might be able to move in anger. Perhaps he thought that Luminas would not hear him because of the "Suspended World," but he was so careless that his true feelings were leaking out.
I'll hurt you later, Luminas promised herself.
Veldora was free. Dagruel was disgusted. Luminas was angry. Ultima quietly understood the "information particle." In the midst of these conflicting thoughts and more chaotic situations, the strange phenomenon continued.
It was Shion who caused it. Her eyes remained closed. Wounds all over her body remained open, blood continued to flow... Yes, it's unnatural. In the "Suspended World," no matter how badly you are injured, blood never flows out. It is only natural since even the heart has stopped. And yet, Shion's blood was flowing.
Shion moved with a swaying motion. Her bloodshot eyes widened, and she stood up like a ghost.
"What?"
Before Dagruel's astonishment, Shion took a deep breath.
"Shion...you understand 'Suspended World'?" Dagruel muttered involuntarily.
"Mmm, Shion, now that's me..."
Veldora, who sensed that he was about to be deprived of her turn, talked to Shion awkwardly.
However, Shion spoke up in response.
"Ve, Veldora-sama...that man is my prize. Will you give him to me?" Shion asked Veldora, holding a large sword as a walking stick and breathing on her shoulder.
"Uh-huh." Veldora nodded his head in a muffled manner. The atmosphere was such that it was impossible to say no.
Veldora, who had a bad idea, and Shion, who had a different attitude and spirit. Veldora's only choice was to be dressed up and watch Shion's request.
"Hmmm, okay! I'll lend you a little help. Fight to your heart's content!" Veldora responded while supporting Shion who was about to fall down. Then, he poured energy into Shion to help her recover.
(I said I'd lend it to her, but I couldn't give it to her. I said I'd lend you some, but you took it from me without reservation...)
Veldora, deprived of magicule by Shion, almost wobbled, but he endured desperately.
"Oh, thank you very much..."
"Don't worry about it." He smiled brightly and cried in his heart. Veldora sent Shion off.
