Nolan, Hilda and Romira are currently in complete shock
They were just escorting a caravan to Basheran to meet his childhood idol, what could go wrong right?
Everything! They were ambushed, Nolan died... but he survived!!
We know it sounds like nonsense but we have seen it with our own eyes, a girl of no more than 5 years old With a look that does not correspond to his age, he touched Nolan's corpse and revived him!!!
I don't know how he did that, I've never seen magic like that before.
The girl just said "rewind your body 24 hours" was all she said
Also a man who seems to be her father called her Eliana and also said that she is a Miko "the Miko of the Return" according to them
..
..
-a-ah...I-I...I was dead....- Nolan murmured with a blank look and in a total state of shock
Hilda and Romira were even more in shock, they themselves saw how life left Nolan's eyes and now... he was alive again....
(sigh) - Yes... I suppose that would be the normal reaction, right? - Ileana's father asked his group.
-N-Nolaaaan!!- Hilda screamed as she lunged at Nolan
-huuu....(Sniff) I was so devastated... when uuu..- Hilda said between sobs as she hugged Nolan tightly and suddenly...she kissed him
It was a passionate and loving kiss that lasted a whole minute.
When they broke the kiss they were both out of breath and breathing heavily.
-I love you...I love you Nolan!- Hilda said as she kissed Nolan again
Romira, Ileana and their father's group looked at them uncomfortably.
-Ahem!...Sir, thank you very much for your great help! Could you tell me your name please?- Romira asked Ileana's father, coming out of her state of shock.
-Huh? Ah! If it's nothing, my name is Aldo- said Ileana's father.
-Well, Mr. Aldo, I want to thank you for your help, ah! And you too, little one... Ileana, right? - said Romira with a tense smile as she looked at the Miko.
Ileana did not react to this and just nodded saying
-It's nothing...- was all she said
Romira put on a more uncomfortable smile at the girl's strange behavior but she preferred not to ask.
..
..
The caravan that Dead End was escorting was not damaged, nor was its owner, so they decided to continue on their way, but not before paying a generous amount of money to Mr. Aldo for his great help
Nolan and Hilda seemed to have gone into heat as they spent a long time kissing each other, so before leaving Romira stopped by to say goodbye to Ileana.
-Hello dear, how are you?- Romira said to Ileana
The girl, as always, did not react and only spoke without emotion.
-I'm fine, thanks for asking- she replied without even looking at her.
(sigh)- Miss Romira, excuse me, my daughter has always been like that... her mother and I believe that it is by nature like Miko- Mr. Aldo said with an apologetic look
-I see... Could you repeat what your daughter's ability is? - Romira asked.
-Oh sure, it's more or less a healing ability or so we think... she can return the state of any living being for a period of 24 hours- explained Mr. Aldo
-How do you know it's only 24 hours?- Romira asked.
-Well..., when we discovered her ability it just so happened that one of our hunters was killed 3 days ago in battle at that time...we tried to revive him but Ileana only reborn his body as I said 24 hours and we only made the wounds return to his body - said Aldo with a sad look
-I see...your daughter's ability is very powerful...she can even revive people...- said Romira processing the information
-Yes...we know...that's why we try to keep her ability a secret...we don't know what the nobility can do to my little girl even though they are not as ruthless as before...-Aldo said looking into Romira's eyes
-I promise we won't tell anyone, I promise- said Romira with a determined look
And so Dead End continued on his way without any further incident until the kingdom of Ranoa where they left the caravan.
And also Nolan and Hilda's nocturnal activities began causing Romira to spend several nights without being able to sleep well.

Ileana's point of view
..
..
How many have there been already?.....
How many times will I have to go through the same thing?!!!....
When I heard that Akihito had been sent to war for the first time in many years, I felt concerned about someone's fate.
I escaped from the castle to the battlefield, the citrus scent of blood permeated my nose as well as the smell of rotting corpses.
I spent hours going through the corpses, stumbling upon this on occasion.
The sun was almost setting when...I saw him...
He was on the ground with a large sword cut on his chest and without his right arm.
-Akihito?....- I murmured as I approached his lifeless body
I have died countless times...so many times that I stopped caring...no matter what I did this would never stop...
I Stop feeling despair, hatred, anguish, pain, anger or any emotion related to my death
What was the point? None! No matter what I did, it was always the same.
I was born in a poor village in the year K486, I was born with these cursed powers... my parents and everyone in the village discovered it... the rumors spread
Asura Knights take me to the castle and I am kidnapped by spies from the kingdom of Gardenia..they use me as a tool until I am killed just when I turn 10 years old...
How many times has it been already?
(sigh) I stop countering after the 200th death..
Nothing I do will change this fate...
But one day... Akihito appeared...
He was a change in my whole life...
He allowed me to feel fear, joy, happiness... love..
But now...along with everything else...it's been taken away from me!!
-No..please no!- I screamed as I ran towards Akihito's corpse and used my power to the maximum.
His now black skin turned pale white and his wounds opened and...
That was all...
Ah....ah!!..ah!!!!
It's too late!!!!!!!
I can't use my power on the same person twice in a row!!
-No!!, no!!!, no!!!- I screamed with all my strength, clinging to Akihito's cold corpse.
-aaaaaaah!!!!- I screamed with all my strength until I lost my voice
No!! Please it's not fair!!
I want to live, I want to live with him!! Someone bring back my Akihito!!!
I used my power to the maximum again!!, I can't regenerate it!!, someone whoever save him!!! Please!!!
Because I used my power to the maximum it drained all my life energy and I died... again...
Because of my horrible mood when I was born again..I was already crying
A normal baby at birth will first cry, but that is only an instinct when feeling the air in his lungs for the first time.
But I...was crying inconsolably...this cycle of agony will never end...I will still be here...now Akihito will not return...
But it seems like my power did something...I don't know how but this loop feels different from the previous ones.
Bah...what does it matter...in the end it's all the same to me...
