The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

EXTRA CHAPTER: Lydias point of view

On the morning of the third day after Claudes disappearance at Sazan Island

Everyone!! Zeph is Zeph is!!!

Lydia woke up from Millys sudden Telepathy.

Feeling the urgency in Millys voice she immediately replied back.

Milly-chan? What happened? Milly-chan!

Zeph is

Good grief Crying like that wont help me understand you, so could you try and hold it back?

She tried to console Milly, but in the end her crying wouldnt stop.

Lydia was starting to grow quite worried as well.

After all this was way off of Millys usual behaviour.

Did something happen to Zeph I wonder?And what about Milly?Did something happen to both of them right after Claude disappeared as well?

Lydia UWAAA!!!

What in the world happened?Where is she?Why is she crying like this?Did something happen to one of them?Am I at fault for leaving them by themselves?Why didnt I realize that everyone was acting strange?Why, why, why

The inside of Lydias head had turned into a whirlpool of questions as panic assaulted her state of mind.

Milly chan Please can you try and calm down

As Lydia tried to squeeze the words out, something within her began to boil.

She had a really bad feeling about this.

What in the world happened to Zeph, Milly and Claude?From Milly state I assume it cant be anything good.It cant be hes dead right?

She thought of the worst outcome that could have happened.

Just as she did that her legs began to shake.

Her pulse hastened. Her chest felt like it would tear open.

She felt good to have everyone rely on her.

She had acted like a big sister figure for all of them all this time.

Lydia help us

However, she couldnt reply to Millys desperate plea. The title of big sister that she had carried on herself seemed quite heavy to bear this time around.

Please someone Anyone Help me

She then felt a hand fall on her shoulder.

Zeph-chi? she said instinctively.

However, as she turned around she only saw Silverie.

Silverie had a serious look on her face as she immediately contacted Milly.

Calm down. Where are you now Milly?

I dont know But Zeph is UWAAA.

JUST ANSWER ME!!!

?!!

Hearing Silverie get angry, Milly instantly froze up.

Silverie then continued to calmly talk to Milly now that she had finally stopped crying.

Anything is fine. Im just asking you to describe the place that youre currently at.

I-Its full of rocks And I can also see the sea

Anything else? How did you go there?

I used Teleport

In which direction from the inn is it?

Towards the back I think

Okay, if theres anything else that comes to mind be sure to contact me okay? Well head there right away.

Silverie then stood up with a long sigh.

Lydia, who could do nothing but listen to their conversation, looked up at Silverie as she stood up.

Her dignified expression reminded her of Zeph.

You sure are amazing Se-chi. And here I did nothing Ahaha You really are amazing Just the thought that something could have happened to Zeph-chi or the others made me lose myself

Im no different. However, if we dont hurry up and do something about it something even worse could happen.

It was just as Silverie had said. There was no time for them to panic.

Thats right!! Lets go there fast!! said Shirushu who had woken up before the other two could even notice.

I can follow Milly-sans smell after all!

Youre right Were counting on you then.

Ill give it my best, so just leave it to me!!

Having been saved by the two of them, Lydia felt weak.

She followed after the two of them with tears falling from her eyes.

Milly was still in a state of confusion, due to which she gave some quite inaccurate directions, but with the help of Shirushus nose the three of them were able to find her without any problems.

As soon as they got there they immediately understood what had happened.

The shattered rocks, the split up ground, the broken trees.

Milly was standing right in the middle of that scene of destruction.

Everyone said Milly as she noticed the three of them and raised her head.

Her clothes were covered in blood and dirt, and they had a big hole around her chest area.

She was holding onto Claude, who was dressed in an unusual attire as well as a youth with silver hair.

The youth was missing one of his arms and was covered in blood. It was quite the gruesome sight.

Who is that boy?

At Lydias question Milly didnt answer and just held onto the youth ever so strongly.

However, the closer Lydia looked the more familiar that youth seemed to her.

Even though she was seeing him for the first time, he gave her the feeling that she had known him for quite some time.

The name of that youth was

Zephchi?

As the words left Lydias mouth her heart skipped a beat.

There was no mistaking it.

Even though he looked different, the presence that the youth gave off was identical to Zephs.

Milly nodded her head in approval.

Silverie and Shirushu were lost for words as well.

That is it really Zeph

H-He smells the same way as Zeph-san B-But to think something like this could have happened

Silverie and Shirushu both looked like they were about to crumble.

Lydia was in a state of shock as well.

Only Millys cries echoed in the area.

After several days the party abandoned the request and left Sazan Island.

However, everyones shock was tremendous and it didnt look like they would be able to go back to how they once were.

Claude in particular, was in a terrible state.

A few days after they went back, she wouldnt stop convincing herself that it was all her fault and that it would have been better for her to die, rather than to see Zeph-kun like that

Even after calming herself down a bit, she still locked herself up in her room and refused to leave.

When the others tried to listen in on her through the door, the only thing they heard were her cries.

Lydia and the others were worried about her, but they didnt have the time to look after her right now.

After all, Zeph was in a state way worse than hers.

In order to try and heal him, Lydia turned to numerous doctors.

However, there were none which could bring him back.

Today she had called in another doctor.

However, he as well only shook his head as Lydia stared at him.

Im afraid I cant do anything about his arm.

Is there really nothing that can be done?

Im afraid not. His magical power lines are in pieces. The wounds to his body are severe as well He probably used some kind of strengthening spell without considering the backlash it would have on his body.

Strengthening spells put a huge burden on ones body so normally they would be used in moderation.

There was no way for them to know that Zeph had stacked on five of those strengthening spells and had gone all out.

The damage that his body had suffered at the time couldnt be expressed with just the word severe.

If I have to be honest, Im not even sure if hell live. Im afraid theres nothing else that I can do.

I see.

She had heard these words a number of times already.

Lydias eyesight went black.

She once again reminded of how powerless she was.

Up until now they had always managed to scrape by somehow.

However, she then remembered that it was all because Zeph had been there for them.

The only reason Milly was safe was probably because of him as well.

And now, he was on his deathbed and unconscious.

Zeph-chi Please Wake up

As the doctor left the room, Lydia licked up Zephs tattered hand.

His small, yet reliable hand had completely lost its normal appearance.

Lydia, how is Zeph? asked Milly as she entered the room.

As usual replied Lydia while shaking her head.

All of them definitely knew it within their hearts. Both of them helplessly looked down.

Yera told us that shed try and get a hold of a top class healing magician, but apparently we shouldnt get our hopes up too much. After all a spell that allows the user to forcefully accelerate the bodys growth is unheard of. said Lydia

Yea, it really is an amazing spell said Milly as she drew her hands closer to her chest.

At the time she had definitely been pierced through the chest.

Her clothes had been torn as well.

Yet right now the wound was nowhere to be seen and she was alive.

At that time, within the depths of the darkness, she had heard Zephs voice.

She was convinced that Zeph had saved her.

As she thought back to that time tears fell from her eyes.

I-Its not efficient at all for you to become like this you idiot!!! said Milly with a trembling voice.

Lydia could do nothing but watch as Milly wept once more.
