In a serious heart Anko said, "Syifa, I will help you!"
****
"Syifa..." Anko greeted Syifa who was still lying limp.
"What?" Syifa responded with a face that seemed unable to bear the pain anymore.
"I have a way to help you!" Anko exclaimed with an expression full of conviction, "I was just thinking about it!" she said it seriously.
"Hey, how could that be-"
Just as Syifa was about to dodge it and doubt it, Anko interrupted her already serious conversation.
"Can!" exclaimed Anko who was still wearing a serious face, "Eh, but… I don't know if this works or not… however, if we don't try we'll never be able to prove it. However, I think this way works…"
I don't know what made Anko so sure and serious when she said it, it seemed to be a new alternative. Syifa tries to believe it, and this is also for her healing.
"So how?" asked Syifa who made sure that Anko knew how. What Syifa knew from looking at Anko's parameter bar was… she only had one friend of Syifa's and she was still level zero with metal/iron/similar elemental abilities. Anko didn't have any healing or therapeutic abilities, and she didn't have any special magic skills either.
"Um..." Anko who was serious before, when she was about to explain it to Anko she became doubtful.
"Yeah, the point is I feel my body is now flowing with power…."
In her heart, Syifa said, "Of course! It's the first time she has acquired the ability, she must feel that way, that's what distinguishes her from ordinary people."
"I don't know what kind of ability runs through my body, I guess you know that too. And what if later… this power that flows through my body is passed on to you a little?" Even though Anko said it hesitatingly, she seriously wanted to do that. She offered to Syifa while holding out her hand.
Syifa also never thought that there was such a way, well~ if only it could be like that for mutual strength. However, wouldn't channeling power only add energy? While not being able to cure it? This time it made Syifa think hard.
Anko was silent for a moment with a doubtful expression on her face, she also thought that it was impossible to cure her but, at least Syifa had the strength to get up from where she was lying.
"...."
Instantly the two girls froze.
Anko thought again, if Syifa manages to wake up, she will replace Syifa's position to drive the horse and he will find a healer for her...
Syifa smirked slightly looking at Anko who still didn't give up wanting to prove this way.
"Alright, let's do it!" cried Syifa who finally complied with Anko's wish.
Anko smiled cheerfully with slightly teary eyes when she saw Syifa agree to try this car. Anko who is thinking and strong is also creative.
Anko this time focused her mind the same as back then...
Then, this time his body seemed to be flowing with more abilities, the abilities she had enveloped her body...
"That's…" For some reason when Anko closed her eyes focusing herself on one point, Syifa was a little surprised when she saw it.
'White energy flowing calmly when she was fully concentrated and her body was enveloped by her abilities, it seems she's already at that stage, even though she didn't know how to awaken and train her abilities all this time… she relied on her instincts…'
Syifa could only speak in her heart so as not to disturb Anko's concentration.
Anko then opened her eyes again and looked at Syifa with seriousness.
Anko raised her power pressure, of course, the nearby monsters including the weak slime that had left her came back again. So they will return once they smell the great energy.
Anko then opened her eyes...
"Syifaaa…" Anko greeted her back.
"What should I do? Should I shake your hand?" asked Syifa who saw Anko extending her hand. However, Syifa couldn't lift her left hand, which was still intact. It was the effect of the body is mostly crushed making it difficult to move other parts of the body.
"Aaargh!!" Shiva still sighed in pain.
"Let me touch you!" Anko exclaimed confidently then she placed her palms on top of Anko's body.
Instantly... Anko's flowing power slowly enveloped Syifaaa's body...
Anko had been very sure that this would work however, a few moments later...
'NOOO!!!' like a strong jolt that made Anko feel a little like she was being electrocuted.
"What is this!?" muttered Anko who accidentally canceled her ability.
Suddenly, Syifa's breath became erratic!!
Anko suddenly panicked and she tried to exert her strength again but, she had a strange thought! Why not merge?
It seems that Syifa has realized that this is her last day seeing this world...
"Sifaaa, wait! I will help you!" exclaimed Anko seriously who still wanted to help Syifa but...
"Syifaaaaaaaa!!" The girl who was lying weakly was speechless, and what she spoke this time were her last words, "Goodbye…" Even though it wasn't audible to Anko but, from the expression she saw….
"No, Syifaaa!!" actually Anko still couldn't bear to lose herself.
Syifa slowly closed her eyes and made a smile even though tears had rolled down her cheeks.
Yes, these are Syifa's last moments...
These were the last moments Anko saw herself...
"Syfaaaaa!!" Anko could only call out to herself, even though Syifa couldn't hear her anymore, her face was also slowly turning pale, her lips were dry. Syifa's body was still warm but her heart had stopped beating.
"She…." Anko's tears couldn't stop falling and this was the saddest and saddest thing she had ever experienced in her life.
Anko tried trying to suppress her power again but, it couldn't turn on again!!
"Tch, this is a waste!!" Anko was annoyed that the way she thought of failed to help her.
In her heart Anko wanted to scream at this world, "Isn't there the best way to live? Isn't there a better way than to sacrifice the lives of others? I thought I had sinned by killing her, if at that time I was the one who died maybe I would soon live a peaceful life. If possible… reincarnate and repeat life without regrets."
Anko realized this new world she got was no worse than the world she lived in, even worse because it showed her incompetent side.
To be more precise, she didn't have the chance to help the good people who were always with her.
Anko was still sobbing over Syifa's body, between sad and sorry for her useless self.
Why is it even like this!?
