===Part 10===

'''(12 Hours After)

White Witch Filinion specialized in healing, so her recovery potion was enough to heal Beatrice. That reminded Beatrice of the time she had relied on that healing to break through some gunfire even when a sniper bullet pierced her chest.

“Let’s not be so optimistic, Beatrice. Not even changing history would save you from that Queen’s attack. This only worked because I happened to have some super rare Mixing materials that worked on your personal symptoms.” The glasses woman started saying some ominous things. “Still, I’m amazed I could use this to heal you. It’s like changing the base of some gin and tonic to make vodka and tonic.”

''Come to think of it, isn’t she a college student in real life?'' belatedly recalled Beatrice. The Holy Swordswoman did not quite understand the comparison. Using strawberry milk and matcha milk would have worked better.

“Hey, cow, what did you make me swallow!?”

“Eh heh. Let’s just say it was something ultra miracle rare that could only be found in that intense battle.”

Beatrice frantically got up, but she was no longer in the strangely nostalgic Jinnai home. She saw the normal field of Ground’s Nir.

(We’re…back.)

Filinion had used ingredients she could normally never get her hands on to create a special recovery potion. That had saved Beatrice from the fist-sized hole in her chest. From the look of things, she had no wound to speak of.

“Filinion.”

But if so…

“Did we…win?”

Filinion laughed quietly at that hesitant question. Beatrice knew the obvious answer. They could not have convinced that Queen to let them go with a plea to her conscience. Since they had returned alive, they must have forced a conclusion against her will.

“There are two possibilities.”

But Filinion did not give a clear answer. She gave a more indirect answer as if teasing frightened Beatrice.

“First, we joined forces, drove back the White Queen, and stole the ingredients for the recovery potion.”

Then what was the other one?

Some slight cruelty seeped into White Witch Filinion’s voice. The way she spoke subtly changed.

Yes, the color white spoke.

“Second, you were all defeated and are enjoying a nice dream together. Now, which do you find more realistic?”
