The father frowned: "But she's covered in blood..."

The doctor was also shocked when he saw Chihaya Aine brought in by ambulance, as she was covered in blood.

[After being taken to the operating room, the doctors realized they had overthought it—it was just a minor head injury.]

Although the cut was quite deep, thankfully the brain was not damaged.

As for the blood on his body, it was just from his wounds.

[In fact, after the examination, the doctor found that Chihaya Aine was in excellent health, with no problems whatsoever, and didn't even need a blood transfusion.]

[He bled so much; it looks like he lost at least 700 milliliters of blood.]

[The result was that nothing was wrong at all; the doctor exclaimed in amazement.]

After hearing the doctor's explanation, Chihaya's parents felt relieved. They finally breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at their daughter who was still unconscious, a heavy weight remained in their hearts.

"When will you wake up?" The mother's voice trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

The doctor reassured her, "She'll be fine soon; she's only suffered a severe emotional shock."

At this moment, Chihaya and her husband finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it was a sudden call from the police in the middle of the night saying: Your daughter is injured and in the hospital receiving emergency treatment.

Upon hearing this phone call, Chihaya's father immediately snapped out of his half-asleep state—Which hospital is my daughter in?!

[Taking out his spare phone, Chihaya's father prepared to book a flight to England immediately, since his daughter was in the hospital there for emergency treatment.]

[The second sentence made him wonder if he'd been scammed: "Your daughter is at xxx Hospital in Chiba Prefecture."]

[JC, did you dial the wrong number? My daughter is studying in the UK.]

[Chihaya's father is relatively good-tempered; after all, a normal person would have yelled at the scammer at this point—"Damn scammer, may your whole family die!"]

[As a result, the police described all of your daughter's characteristics, and also mentioned that she had returned on a flight today.]

[Then Chihaya's father and his extremely worried wife got into their two Land Rovers, floored the gas pedal, and drove straight to xxx Hospital in Chiba Prefecture.]

There probably won't be any updates today, I'm going out to play.

I don't know when I'll be back.

Chapter 393 Don't Go—

In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains in the hospital room; the only sound was the rhythmic beeping of the electrocardiogram monitor.

Chihaya Aine's hand twitched slightly, her fingertips curling on the sheets. Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"...Aine?!"

The mother, who hadn't slept a wink all night sitting by the hospital bed, was the first to notice. She abruptly stood up, her eyes instantly brimming with tears.

She almost threw herself on her daughter's side, her hands trembling as she grasped the pale but warm hand: "Thank goodness...you're finally awake...Mom thought, thought..."

The father, standing to the side, swallowed hard, trying to suppress his emotions, but his eyes were already red-rimmed.

He gently stroked his daughter's hair, looking at her forehead still wrapped in bandages, and said in a low voice, "Silly child, you scared us so much... You can't worry us like this anymore."

The girl's eyes were still dazed, her throat was dry, and she couldn't make a sound; she could only blink weakly.

[But this one action caused the mother to burst into tears, and the father, unusually, raised his hand to cover his eyes.]

Chihaya Aine struggled to open her eyes, her blurry vision gradually focusing on the edge of the bed.

[Just as she opened her mouth, before she could even see her parents' faces clearly, a soft murmur escaped her lips:]

"...Don't go..."

In the empty hospital room, no dark figure responded.

Only the mother's sobs, startled awake, and the father's hushed words of comforting; reality and dream overlapped at that moment.

A dark figure, cloak billowing, stood amidst the dust and smoke, like a cold, stern grim reaper.

She strained with all her might to ask, "Who are you?"

But the other party didn't stop.

He walked straight towards the miasma-shrouded land formed by demons, raised his hand, and his black cloak fluttered in the wind.

The ground trembled, and a complex magic circle appeared, its lines intertwined and its light flickering.

The dazzling yet warm magic spread out, thoroughly purifying the remaining filth and decay.

[A brief dawn breaks in the sky, the cracks in the earth close in the light, and the withered atmosphere gradually dissipates.]

[And Chihaya Aine, lying in the distance, was enveloped in that warmth.]

The wounds on his body healed rapidly, and the hand bones that had been crushed by the tree-like monster reassembled in the light, restoring him to their original state.

The wound on his forehead remained, but it was no longer life-threatening, leaving only a clear mark.

As the girl looked up, the black-clad figure finally pulled something out.

He spoke in a low voice into the communicator, his words brief and indifferent.

"Hello, this is the 110 emergency hotline. How can I help you?"

[Hello, a secondary gas explosion has occurred at xxx. There are injured people on site who need medical attention.]

Okay, we will send people over. It's very dangerous there right now. To prevent a third explosion, please leave immediately.

[After hanging up, the figure in black dialed another number.]

Hello, this is the emergency center. How can I help you?

Hello, there is an injured person here who needs an ambulance.

Okay, we'll be right there.

[Your voice is so beautiful.]

[While half-conscious, Chihaya Aine recognized the male voice on the phone; it sounded so familiar, as if she'd heard it somewhere before.]

[And this sense of familiarity gradually became clearer in my memories—it's you, it's Wakaba, isn't it?]

The girl's memories returned; she remembered the boy in her dream who would stand against the entire world for her sake.

Her gaze cleared; Chihaya Aine wanted to know his identity, to ask the person she had been searching for so long.

Don't go.

Wait for me!

The girl wanted to reach out, but her injured body prevented her from doing so.

So, she could only watch that figure disappear before her eyes.

The light from the magic circle gradually faded, and his figure was swallowed by the night.

Before her consciousness completely faded, Chihaya Aine's only thought was—don't go!

The ruins under the night sky finally returned to deathly silence, leaving only broken branches and charred rubble.

The sound of sirens grew louder in the distance, and flashing red and blue lights illuminated the dark streets.

Several police officers cautiously entered the cordoned-off area and quickly found the girl lying on the ground.

"There are injured people here!"

They shouted, and paramedics rushed over with a stretcher.

Chihaya Aine was covered in blood; her clothes were stiff from the dried blood, and her breathing was faint but still present.

"Weak pulse! Get him on a stretcher immediately!"

While examining her, the medical staff quickly bandaged the wound on her forehead.

As the stretcher was lifted into the ambulance, the acrid smell in the air finally dissipated.

While searching for lost items, police officers found a blood-stained cell phone among the rubble.

The screen is cracked, but emergency contacts can still be called.

"They've found her family."

The officer quickly made a phone call and briefly explained the situation.

Shortly after, the ambulance carrying Chihaya Aine sped away.

Under the lights of the emergency room, doctors and nurses bustled about, administering IVs, cleaning wounds, stabilizing breathing... everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, the parents, who had received the call, rushed over in a panic, their eyes filled with tears.

As dawn broke, the ward was so quiet that only the dripping of the IV could be heard.

Chihaya Aine's eyelashes trembled slightly, her heavy eyelids finally opening slowly.

A blinding white light flashed, her breathing quickened, her chest tightened, and she blurted out—

"...Don't go!"

The mother's heart skipped a beat, thinking her daughter was still having a nightmare. She quickly bent down, her voice trembling with tears, "Aiyin, Mommy's here. Don't be afraid, Mommy won't leave!"

The father was stunned, then reached out and tightly grasped his daughter's hand, whispering comfortingly, "It's good that you're awake... Daddy and Mommy are here, you don't need to be afraid anymore."

Tears streamed down the girl's face as she finally saw her anxious and haggard parents.

He wanted to explain, but his voice was hoarse, and he could only shake his head weakly.

In that instant, the chilling yet tender feeling of that figure disappearing still lingered in her heart.

Her parents, however, assumed she was simply too weak to fully regain consciousness, so they stayed even closer to her bedside, fearing they might lose their daughter again.

Outside the ward, a nurse peered in to check on her and whispered, "Don't worry, she's out of danger."

At that moment, the huge weight that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted, turning into tears of pure joy.

Now it's time for some Love Live! shoujo manga plot.

Every time the girl faced a crisis, someone would come to her rescue.

I need to write some other plot points.

Chapter 394 I've Got You

Hey, XuXu-chan, who do you think that person could be?

[On the hospital bed, Chihaya Aine tilted her head, staring at the projection on the magical device, her eyes flickering with questions.]

Today is my second day in the hospital.

Although her body was almost completely healed by magic, the fact that she was "covered in blood and unconscious when she was taken to the hospital," coupled with the police calling her in the middle of the night informing her that her daughter studying abroad was in danger, made her parents determined not to discharge her immediately—they wanted her to be observed for at least a few more days.

【Chihaya-sama, this is the seventh time you've asked me this.】

The electronic soundtrack to "Heart of the Rising Sun" carries a hint of helplessness.

[Because you said that person's magic is from the ancient Belka system, the same system as mine...]

The girl persisted in her questioning.

Over the past two days, she has been constantly harping on this issue.

[The Heart of the Rising Sun answered again and again:]

Although they are two branches of the same system, there are thousands of magical devices like mine, and I am only familiar with a portion of them. Moreover, the other party has not responded to my attempts to contact them.

Magical devices were originally capable of communicating with each other, especially those belonging to the same system.

That night, before Chihaya Aine fell into a coma, Asahi Heart had tried to contact her, but to no avail.

[The Heart of the Rising Sun has received no response to this day.]

Why...don't you respond to Xuxu's messages?

The girl murmured softly, her gaze fixed on the video recorded by Rising Sun Heart.

[In the scene, the black-clad figure was taciturn and aloof, yet she felt an increasing sense of familiarity towards him.]

The suspicions in my heart almost turned into an obsession—that person was Ruoye from my dreams.

Just then, the door to the ward was gently pushed open.

Father walked in, looking more relaxed than yesterday.

"The doctor said the condition is stable and there's nothing seriously wrong."
