The magical seal on the medical ward door was deactivated, and the hallway lights came on, prompting the squad leader standing at the door to suddenly lift his head.
The door was pushed open from inside, and the black-haired, yellow-eyed Mute Girl yawned as she leisurely walked out of the room.
With fatigue deeply embedded in her eyes, she couldn't be bothered to speak, merely gesturing with her hand for the squad leader and the staff member beside her to go in and check the situation.
The two quickly stepped into the room.
Looking at the patient on the bed, who, although still in a sorry state, had stabilized, the squad leader let out a heavy sigh of relief.
The staff member, while also relaxing, had an expression of disbelief on his face.
It's certainly good that his recommendation wasn't wrong, but...
"Such severe injuries, and yet they were treated so quickly?" he murmured.
"To be free from pain, one must first endure pain; to escape death, one must first face death."
