Days passed and Kurt's condition neither improved nor worsened.
According to Doctor Lee, he had reached a stage in his condition where only his willpower and his body could do the rest of the work in fighting off the parasite infection.
"Since the parasite itself is already dead inside him, about to be expelled at one time or another, the only thing left for Kurt is to get rid of the infection still coursing through his veins."
With that said, Doctor Lee left the room, preparing to leave.
"Where are you going, doctor?" Toshinori asked, confused.
"My work here is already done, guild master." She answered. "Maybe Collins still wants to stay, to monitor Kurt's condition, and give me frequent reports, in case his condition worsens. But... Other than that, there's nothing else for me to do here."
After the conversation she had with Toshinori, Rodrick, and the irregulars, a sepulchral silence spread throughout the halls of Hana no Nagame.
