Chapter 316: A gentle sleep, part 2

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

"Big brother..."

Rifa returned the stake to its original state and absorbed it back into her body.

Then she looked at her brother lying on the ground.

Calus didn't move.

Of course, he wouldn't.

Regardless of the creature, the heart is one of the vital points.

Once it's crushed, one cannot remain alive.

Even if he was being manipulated by Weiss, he couldn't continue to function.

That's how it should be...

"Guh..."

A groan escaped from Calus' mouth.

He's still alive!?

Confused but reflexively, Rifa braced herself.

It seemed like his body couldn't gather strength; Calus just moved his head to look up at Rifa.

And then... he smiled.

"Rifa... is that you..."

"Big brother!?"

That smile was one Rifa knew well.

The gentle smile her brother had directed at her countless times before.

Any thoughts of this being a trap vanished, replaced by...

Unable to resist, Rifa rushed to Calus and lifted his body.

"Big brother, big brother!?"

"What's wrong... Rifa...?"

"Big brother, you're conscious..."

It was unthinkable.

His heart was crushed.

Moreover, he's already dead.

Yet, Calus was speaking firmly.

As he always did, he spoke gentle words to his sister.

"You've become strong..."

"Do you remember the fight just now...?"

"Unfortunately... or perhaps I should say... even while being controlled... I was conscious. I'm sorry..."

"No, no!! Big brother, you don't need to apologize!"

Not understanding what was happening.

Yet, what stood before her was undoubtedly her brother.

Had a miracle occurred, or had her kind brother returned?

Convinced of this, Rifa embraced Calus.

In an attempt to return the embrace, Calus tried to reciprocate...

But his body lacked strength, only slightly moving his fingers.

"Pathetic... I want to stroke Rifa... but my body can't move anymore..."

"Big brother..."

"...I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize... don't apologize! It's okay, I'm fine!!!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Rifa shed tears.

Once she started crying, she couldn't stop.

Tears streamed down one after another.

"Rifa..."

It's his fault that he's causing his sister to make such a face.

Realizing this painfully, Calus summoned his last strength.

He expended every remaining fragment of his soul without leaving a single one behind.

And then...

"Ah..."

"Good... good..."

Calus gently stroked Rifa's head.

There shouldn't have been any strength left, he should already be dead...

Yet, he tenderly stroked the head of his beloved family, consumed only by thoughts of his sister.

"Big brother...!"

Rifa couldn't stop crying.

She wanted to stop crying for her kind brother.

Yet, knowing he had done this much for her, her heart couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

So, at least...

"Nn..."

While shedding tears...

Rifa smiled.

After being stroked by Calus, as if in return, she showed her usual smile.

So, although she was crying, she returned his smile.

"Ah... as expected..."

Seeing his sister's smile, Calus' expression filled with contentment.

"At the end... I got to see Rifa..."

"Big brother...?"

"...Good..."

Once again, Calus stroked Rifa's head...

And then, his hand lost its strength.

"Big brother!?"

Rifa called out, but there was no response.

Calus smiled and quietly passed away.

"Ugh...!!!"

Calus was already dead.

What just happened seemed like an illusion.

Even so...

The exchanged words.

The exchanged hearts.

They definitely existed here.

"Uuu... Ah, uuuu... uaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!"

Rifa embraced the unmoving Calus with all her might, screaming as loud as she could.

It was the wailing of Rifa's soul.

TL Note- Wiess is dead for sure.....
