After struggling to maintain Kazuto's body condition, which was getting worse, Kazuto finally fell into a deep slumber.
Izzy and Lionel decided to take this opportunity to take a nap.
Hokuto and Shin Ha, who already knew Kazuto's condition, tried their best to find information that could help Kazuto. They already knew that Niken was a time traveler and could not do anything to bring Niken back.
All they could do is help Kazuto to hold on until Niken returns. They were sure, Kazuto's condition would recover once he met Niken.
This was one of the curses of being an Elementalist knight. Once they find a life partner, their life will be tied to that partner. If a knight's inamorata died before a knight became a human, the knight's heart would be engulfed in shadows of dark energy due to excessive negative emotions.
If left unchecked, a knight's pure heart would darken, and he would become an evil knight.
