Janus Side

  I can't believe it. She had enough magic power to heal all the Patients, and even Averell's Hand grew back. Her Healing Magic was at the same level as that of a Cardinal.

  After she had fallen asleep on top of Averell's bloodstained sheets, the gentle Giant began to regain his Senses.

  "A..n Ange." Averell's Throat still seemed too dry to talk.

  "An Angel?" I asked with a smile.

  "Yes. There is an Angel on my Bed." Averell exclaimed with a raspy voice.

  I began laughing and crying at the same time.

  "Why are you crying, Brother? Are you all right?" Averell asked.

  "Averell, you almost died. You even lost your right Hand." I said while hugging my brother deeply.

  "But my Hand is right here," he said, showing little understanding.

  "The Angels name is Ruby. She gave your Hand back to you," I said after I released him from my embrace.

  "Are you alright? Did you fall on your head as well?” he asked me while tilting his head.

  “No, I'm just really glad you are alright,” I answered. “Then It's probably best if you find a bed for her. Mine is quite full already," said Averell.

  I burst out laughing, wipe the last tear away, and lift the sleeping Woman from my brother's bloody sheets. And again, I notice how light she is. She must barely be an adult. When I was about to leave, all the Patients and Benjamin wanted to leave their Thanks. But then, realized embarrassed that the Woman had fallen asleep due to Magic Power depletion. However, for some reason, Benjamin insisted that I hand over Ruby to the Maids because

  "You have no idea how to care for someone, especially when it is a Woman.".

  The other men nodded vigorously. They were such ungrateful Bastards. I guess I must increase the training quota once they are fully recovered.

  With those thoughts still in my Head, I handed Ruby over to two maids, who directed me to an empty guest room. There, I laid her down, and then they ushered me outside, saying something about it being improper enough that I carried her in the first Place.

  After caring for Ruby, I went to my Father's Office to share the good news. When I reached my Father's Office, I saw my brother Joel walking up and down in front of it. I approached him and spoke.

  "It will only get worse the more you wait."

  "Uwhaa, J-Janus, don't sneak up on me like that." He seemed so lost in Thought that he did not hear me coming.

  "I did not mean to sneak up on you. I'm simply here to deliver good news."

  Joel scowled but asked, "What good news are you talking about?"

  "As it turns out, Ruby is an excellent healing mage. She has completely healed all the patients in the Sickbay. She even managed to grow Averell's Hand back." When I dropped this Bombshell, Joel's Eyes lit up, and he asked

  "Really? Did the new Healer arrive while I was, um... waiting here?" He looked embarrassed but genuinely happy for our brother's fortune. Joel was weird like that. He could not stand me but loved his brothers just as much as I did.

  "No, the new Healer still hasn't arrived. Ruby is the Name of your Prisoner."

  Joel looked at me in utter Horror. He knew I never joked about Work. "Is she still? No, she must be furious at me. Ugh, how do I fix this?" He scratched his Head.

  "How do I thank her when she hates my guts?" Joel hates owing something to others.

  "You should have considered this before humiliating her."

  "Oh, you..." But he did not manage to say anything else as the Door to Father's Door opened, and he looked down on us. Even though I was now taller than him, I still felt small in Front of his gaze.

  "Why are you two always fighting?" he sighed. "Well, never mind. Come Inside, both of you. I don't have much Time. Keep it short."

  After this meeting, Joel spent the next two weeks scrubbing the toilets, and I was assigned to “learn” more about our new resident Healer.

  Later, after both of his sons had left his Office, Wilhelm Yuwen lay back, pulled out a bottle of wine, and began to drink a bit while talking to himself.

  "It seems Joel becomes more and more twisted. After the next two weeks, I must bring the Boy back in line."

  "But Perhaps Janus will cause even more trouble. He looked like me when I was young. The same look in his eyes."
