[The End of the Summer Vacation]

After her berserk episode, Eureka ended up being nursed at the Alberses’ villa.

Properly speaking, she should have been nursed at the Ehrenbergs’ place, but they didn’t have a villa in the area. That and in order to observe her condition going forward resulted in the current arrangement.

Presently, Eureka was still unconscious, though her condition was stable.

Holy Knight Klaus was keeping watch over her in her room. Raul was also staying over at the villa, at least until the summer vacation ended.

Raul was extremely thankful when I’d offered him to stay, but honestly, I was the one who should be thankful.

No one knew when or where he would go berserk again.

At such a time, Mr. Klaus’ holy water would surely prove useful to minimize the damage he might cause.

This likely aligned with Mr. Klaus’s interest, as he also wanted to check how effective the holy water was to cure the berserk illness. With this, even if Raul or Eureka were to go berserk again, we could promptly deal with it.

Still, this wasn’t a fundamental solution.

What caused them to go berserk?

Without figuring that out, we would never be able to solve this problem for good.

My only hope was that these berserk incidents also took place in【The Rise of the Weakest Holy Swordsman】but was simply not mentioned.

In the original storyline, Raul and Eureka lived their lives normally post-academy days. If it was still not yet resolved then, there should have been a mention of it at least.

…This was a pretty big event, after all.

If we failed to find a solution—in the worst case, something irreversible might happen.

From here on out, I would have to be more careful in making decisions.

This problem was resolved in the original storyline.

So there had to be a solution for it.

I would absolutely return Raul and Eureka back to normal for good.

◇◇◇

It was now the last day of summer vacation, Eureka had yet to wake up.

But according to Mr. Klaus and also Rebecca, who was well versed in magic, the flow of her mana was stable, so there was no risk to her life.

“Eureka…”

Tayte had been staying at the villa as well, and she never stopped worrying about Eureka the whole time.

She didn’t show it when we were together, but once in a while, I’d caught her with a sad look on her face, muttering Eureka’s name.

“We have to hurry to investigate the cause of the berserk, for Tayte’s sake too.” I declared matter-of-factly to Jarvis and Raul.

“Assuming from what Mr. Klaus has said, Ms. Teixeira is working on it, right?” Jarvis asked.

“It is likely so. Ms. Teixeira once requested my master and me to fetch her holy water, too.” Raul nodded.

“Did Ms. Teixeira mention anything else noteworthy?” I asked.

“Let me think… oh, right. I remember her mentioning that the school festival this year may get canceled during a conversation with my master.”

“The school festival?”

About a month after summer vacation ended, there would be a school festival.

For students, it was one of the most popular events of the year, but… true, it may be dangerous to hold it under the present circumstances. After all, there had been a synthetic monster appearing on the night of the ball, so something might happen during the school festival, too.

“Rather than that, Barrett…” Jarvis called out to me as I was deep in thought.

“Yes?”

“For now… just stay by her side. She needs you, and you need her too.”

“…Alright.”

Following Jarvis’s advice, I headed to Eureka’s room.

“Hm? What’s wrong, Barrett?”

When I entered the room, Mr. Klaus, who was standing by the window, turned to me.

“Nothing, I just want to see how Tayte is doing… are you okay, Tayte?”

“Barrett…”

An uneasy voice and expression.

I put my arm around Tayte’s shoulder to try soothing her.

With Mr. Klaus around, this was as far as I could do.

“Let’s get ready to go back to the academy, we have to set off tomorrow.”

“B-but…”

“Eureka has Mr. Klaus with her, so you don’t have to worry about her. Rather, I’m sure Eureka would be the one to get worried if she knew you were making such a sad face.”

“……”

Tayte quietly nodded at my words.

“Mr. Klaus—”

“I know. I will make sure to send Eureka to the academy safely.”

“Thank you, we will be counting on you.”

I bowed to Mr. Klaus while hugging Tayte’s shoulder.
