Editing Mushi Uta:Volume 8th Episode 30 (section)

=== Part 6 ===

A witch visited Patricia who was afflicted with sickness.

She said as such.

Here is a potion made by an angel, as well as one by the devil. If you drink the angel’s potion, you will lose all your loved one, but in return your sickness would be cured and you would live on. On the other hand, if you drink the devil’s potion, your illness will remain and you will die. However, you will always be remembered by your loved one. Now, which will you choose?

And so, Patricia replied like this.

I want the devil’s potion.

And the witch granted her request.

Thus, Patricia entered an eternal sleep under the watchful eyes of her loved one.

Even so, Patricia never felt lonely, for her loved ones would regularly come to visit her on the hill where she rests—.

A pleasant wind caressed her cheek.

The usual sickroom.

On top of the usual bed.

As Mari opened her eyelids, she saw a youth in a white coat standing at the window.

Sensei apparently came to visit her again. He was refreshing the room’s stagnant air. His familiar back was the most reliable thing and it relieved her.

Next to her pillow was her favorite picture book.

Touching ''Potion of Magic'', the youth turned to her.

“It’s fine. I’ll stay by your side until you fall asleep.”

Mari smiled.

Today she also used her power as a Mushitsuki and ran around a lot outside.

She talked a lot with her friend Arisu.

With this blissful mood, she closed her eyes again.

Mari was soon enveloped in sleepiness and wandered into a dream.

There was a girl who knew a lot about Mari there.

Patricia stood there.

She extended her hand with a smile, and Mari grabbed it back, also smiling.

“Good night, Mari…”

While listening to Sensei’s kind voice—

Hanashiro Mari, the girl who chose to drink the devil’s potion while she was happy—

Ran inside the depths of the dream along with Patricia.
