Raja then asked, "She's leveling up? right now? What do we do Gen?", but Gen didn't answer him, and then Raja said, "Hey Gen...", but when he looked at him, he realized that he had fainted again. Raja then said, "Damn, it looks like the blood loss is making him weak. Let's not waste any more time, one of you two take Lina and let's go." Stanley then said, "You'd better carry her. After all you are stronger than me, and in case something happens, she will be safe in your hands.", and the guild leader then said, "I'm going to have to disagree Stanley, as you said yourself, I am stronger, so you better carry her, so in case something happens I have my hands free to help."

Stanley then said, "I can't, you'd better carry her, I'm sure she would feel safer in the hands of another awakened one." and then the guild leader said, "No, although I am an awakened one, Lina and I are not that close. I'm pretty sure she'd prefer one of her friends to carry her.", the two then went on like that for a while, until Raja said, "Enough of this, Gen needs treatment, can't you two just decide who's going to carry her?", Stanley then said, "Raja you have to understand ... Hold on. I got it, just let one of us carry Gen, and then Raja can carry her in our place." the guild leader said, "That's right. Well, let me carry Gen Raja."

The guild leader then approached to pick up Gen, but Raja stepped aside. The guild leader then asked, "What are you doing Raja, you said yourself that we shouldn't waste time, pass me Gen so we can take him for treatment at once.", "Unfortunately I can't do that.", "Why Raja?", "Well ... it's because ... it's because I know you want to hurt Gen." Stanley then said, "What do you mean Raja, Gen is my friend." and Raja then asked, "Oh yeah? What kind of friendship is it that you have that the first thing you do, after going a year without seeing him, without even knowing if he's alive, is try to punch him?", "Well ... you wouldn't understand our friendship, I've known Gen since I was little."

Raja then said, "He told me that he's been in the desert for three years, how is it that you've known him since you were little?", "Well ... it was a figure of speech. I meant that we are such good friends that I feel like I have known him since I was a kid.", "Hmm, I see, but I still won't give him to you.", Stanley wanted to protest, but the guild leader said, "Then let me carry Gen. I, as the leader of Dekin's adventurers guild, would never hurt one of the guild members.", Raja then said, "If it was anyone else I would believe you, but since it is Gen we are talking about I can't risk it. After all he gave you a hard time a year ago with the whole kissing situation and all.", "It's really true what you said, but I'm over it."

Raja then said, "I wish I could believe you, but the way Gen is now I can't risk his safety.", Stanley and the guild leader were about to protest, when suddenly Raja said, "There's no point in you guys continuing to complain, one of you is going to have to carry Lina. Even if I wasn't carrying the Gen, I barely know her, she would certainly be annoyed if a stranger carried her.", Stanley then said, "And that's exactly why you should carry her Raja. Even though you are the least intimate with her, you are the only one here who is not tied to Dekin. Both the guild leader and I work there, you can get away from Lina if something happens, but we have family and friends in town."

Raja then said, "I-It doesn't change anything, I'm not carrying her!", Stanley then said, "And neither am I.", and then the guild leader said, "Least of all me", the three remained in this standoff for a while, until at one point they heard a person say, "Would you three idiots stop arguing?" The three then looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Lina awake, Raja then said, "Lina! You are awake, and how was it? Did you manage to raise your essence level?", "Yes.", she then approached Raja and stretched out her arms. Raja then asked, "What's up Lina? Do you want to celebrate with a hug?", "Give him to me.", "Gen you say? Lina, I'll carry him.", "Shut up, and just give him to me.", ".... Okay.", Raja then lifted Gen off the ground, and handed him into Lina's arms.

Lina then said, "Let's meet up with the rest of the group so we can treat Gen's wounds.", "Right.", the three said and started to follow her. After a few minutes walking in the desert they arrived where the rest of the group was standing, and upon seeing them, the people in the group started talking, "Lina's back.", "That's right, and the guild leader and Stanley are with her, everything seems to have gone well.", "The two who helped us are there too.", "hm, it seems that one of them is being carried by Lina, I wonder what happened to him.", Joru was watching the people who were arriving, and when he saw Lina carrying Gen ,who was half paralyzed, on her lap, he thought, 'It seems that the worst really happened. Ahh. Yeah, Gen, maybe in the next life you won't choose who you kiss better.'

Lina then said, "Somebody get me a first aid kit now! If I count to twenty and don't have one in front of me, everyone will suffer!", upon hearing this, everyone was in shock, and then began to quickly look for a first aid kit, and when they found it, they handed it to her. Lina put Gen on a cloth that they had laid out on the floor, and then ripped off his shirt, so that she could see the wound. Gen's back was cut all over, some of them quite deep. Lina began to clean Gen's wounds with some water, and he began to tremble a little. She gave him some medicine, then bandaged his back, and then she said, "There. That should do it for now."

Lina then asked, "Are you ready to leave now?", and then one of the people said, "Yes, since we knew that we would only be in the way if we were to interfere with your fight, we decided to move things along so that we would be ready to leave when you returned.", "Good, let's go then. The fight was tiring and everyone deserves a rest.". Everyone started to get their things to go back to Dekin, when suddenly Raja said, "Lina, wait a minute. Gen and I left our things in the wagon of a old man who brought us here from Diton. Just let me get our things before we go.", "Okay, go ahead, but don't take too long.", "I will.", Raja then started to walk towards where the gentleman had stopped the cart, but he couldn't see him.

He then said, "Hey, where is he?", some people approached Raja and one of them asked, "Were your things in a wagon that was headed this way?", and Raja then said, "Yeah. Did you see where the wagon went?", "Well, right after you guys finished helping us, and started heading towards Lina's group, the wagon started leaving.", "It left?! What about our stuff?!", Lina then said, "Looks like you have no reason to stay here anymore. Let's go.", Raja then said, "Easy there Lina. The wagon can't be far. Give me about ten minutes and I'll find it.", "No, forget it. You were unlucky to trust the wrong person. It happens to everyone, now let's get back to Dekin."

Raja then said, "Ok ...", and then thought, 'Damn, I better not see you again old man.'. They then drove on towards Dekin, and after about two hours they arrived in the city. When they arrived they headed towards the adventurer's guild, and when they got there and unloaded everything the guild leader said, "Well, due to the help of our two friends who arrived in the middle of the battle, we were successful in the expedition. Unfortunately one of them was injured in the middle of the battle, but fortunately he is not in mortal danger, but because of this he will not be able to participate in our celebration, but this should not discourage us. We should enjoy enough for him too, so that his effort has not been in vain."

Everyone in the guild started shouting when they heard this, and Lina then picked up Gen who was lying on one of the tables, and started to carry him away. Raja then appeared next to her and asked, "Where are you taking him?", and Lina then replied, "I'm taking him to the restaurant.", "Got it. Well I know Gen got hurt and all, and you must be extremely worried about him because he got hurt because of you, but I think you should go back after you let him rest at home, after all, you also had a hard day, and you deserve to relax so you don't accumulate stress.", "I'll pass. I'm pretty tired myself, so after making sure that everything is okay with him I'll go to sleep.", "Hmm, got it ... Well, good night then, and take it easy on him. He is still hurt after all. Hahaha.", after saying that Raja walked into the middle of the screaming people and joined them. Lina then looked at Gen in her arms and left the guild towards her family's restaurant.
