Chapter 257

"Grandpa Baueeeeer!"

"What's up, Serena? But seriously, where do you keep coming from?"

"I don't know either~."

This is the underworld, you know. Even the Dragon Lord can't enter without my permission. Only Skull King, due to his unique nature, have the freedom to come and go here.

I wonder why this kid can enter.

Well, I consider him like a grandchild, so I guess it's fine.

"So, what brings you here today?"

"Well, there's this kid who's living without a brain, and I'm curious about what happened to their soul and brain. I want to know."

Seems like he's getting caught up in weird things, just like his father...

But hey, since this kid is a mix of a goddess and the Dragon Lord, there's nothing to worry about.

If a few acquaintances of him, including myself, lend a hand... we could probably bring down the whole world. Well, this kid has enough power to take on an entire country single-handedly.

It's more than sufficient.

"If they're brainless... then... they're physically alive but their soul is dead... I think they've come here... not many come here with just their brain, so if you search, you should find them easily."

"Thanks, I'll try to find them."

"No, if it's a recent matter, I have their location, so I'll tell you."

I asked Grandpa Bauer for the whereabouts of Rosalia's soul and headed there.

But this is awful... Being physically alive but with only the brain dead...

Just crawling like a bug with only their brain.

Crawl... crawl... crawl...

No body, just her brain is moving.

Literally, living with only the brain.

No eyes, no nose or mouth... no hands or feet.

Can't see anything, can't smell anything, can't eat anything... I can't imagine living like this.

Maybe this is even worse than hell?

It's so sad...

"Rosalia... You might not be able to hear anything, but let's go back."

"..."

I don't think she can hear me.

"I'll make sure to return you to your body... So don't worry."

"..."

She keeps crawling along.

Right... If it's telepathy, we might be able to communicate.

'Rosalia... It must have been tough for you, right? I'll help you... So let's go back.'

'Who are you...? After enduring torture... I've been in this empty world for so long.'

'My name is Serena... You're in a state where you don't have a body... just your brain.'

'I see... I thought it was the afterlife.'

'Well, technically it is, but you can see clearly if you have a body.'

'An empty world... So it's an afterlife... Are you going to take me out of this world?'

'I promise.'

'You will... help me...? Thank you so much.'

'I'll help you, don't worry.'

'Thank you... Thank you so much... Serena.'

Rosalia's brain trembled.

I gently saved Rosalia's brain with both hands.

I thanked Grandpa Bower and left the underworld.

* * *

When I returned from the underworld, it was late at night.

Fleur and Elsa were already asleep.

Rosalia's body... standing there like a doll...

She uttered fragmented words, saying, "Au-au-waaa."

I took Rosalia's body to the next room, revealed the dragon's claw, and cut off everything above her eyebrows.

Perhaps because she doesn't have a brain, it didn't seem painful.

I placed Rosalia's brain, which I brought back from the underworld, and neatly sealed it by aligning it with the cut above her eyebrows.

I didn't mind the blood...

More importantly, it fit together perfectly...

And for the final, I chanted "Perfect Heal."

"Au-au-awaah... Ah, I can see, I can see... Uwaaa! I can see... and there's a scent... You must be Serena-sama... I'm Rosalia! Thank you so much for helping me! I will never forget this favor and will devote myself to you with all my being... Thank you... Thank you so much."

As she said that, Rosalia clung to me.

When I hugged her back, she hugged me even tighter.

"Rosalia."

""What are you doing?""

For some reason, Fleur and Elsa were giving us cold stares.
