The examination takes an entire morning the next day, and I am in the hospital room listening to the results of the examination from Dr. Sakurai.

“There are no abnormalities in your muscles, bones, nerves, internal organs, soul, or spirit. On the contrary, every part of you has entirely recovered, even the scrapes and hair tangles that you had when you were brought to the hospital. Well, you’re still as regenerative as ever.”

“And yet I fainted.”

The test results show that all of my wounds have fully recovered, and even my hair, which throughout the exploration of the “Maze” was supposed to have been cut or disordered by monster assaults, has grown back exactly as it did.

Even so, as the “Maze” collapsed, I passed out despite having such regenerating powers.

If Dr. Sakurai is aware of it, I would want to question her about the cause.

“The specific reason for your fainting is a bit unclear. After all, when you were brought here, there was no more damage to the body, so it was doubtful that you needed to be hospitalized. But still, if I had to speculate… I’d say it was either a major brain injury, a buildup of physical and mental exhaustion, or a side effect of the exercise of your abilities.”

“I see.”

The precise cause, though, appears to be unknown to Dr. Sakurai herself, and she gives me a look that suggests there is no way to corroborate this.

In fact, it is said that the power of Ys can regenerate even a single arm, even though it takes time, which means that it would not take long to regenerate a few wounds or hairs.

“Well, in that case, you’ll be discharged as soon as you’re picked up, Akira-chan.”

“I understand.”

When Toki-san and Sora-san arrive, I am discharged from the Japoterasu Divine Sanatorium.

Furthermore, the Security Organization is responsible for paying all expenses.

————-

The three of us are walking through the affluent neighborhood surrounding the Japoterasu Divine Sanatorium towards the dormitory of the Security Organization eradication squad while discussing the future after leaving it.

“So what’s going to happen to us after all?”

I could feel some impudent stares from the people around me as I ask them what will happen to us in the future.

“This morning I received word that we will no longer be a part of the regular eradication squad and will be under the direct control of the Director of the Security Organization… In essence, we will be the first part of the newly established Special Operations Squad, and we will be directly under Susanoo-sama’s command.”

“Special Operations Squad?”

“The group, led by Akira onee-sama, will execute attacks on ‘Mazes’ that the regular eradication team deems challenging to conquer, and will also independently patrol the inside and exterior of Japoterasu with the objective of conquering ‘Mazes’.”

“What can I say, it seems like a story that will stir up a lot of conflicts…”

After hearing what they said, I couldn’t help but let the words slip out of my mouth.

In fact, I am grateful to be able to move around as I please, but the presence of this new group will undoubtedly damage the eradication team’s dignity, which will lead to a number of issues.

And even while it’s acceptable for me to become embroiled in such issues, it’s not okay for Toki-san and Sora-san to do the same…

“Don’t worry, I don’t think there will be any problems on the surface.”

“Hmm? Is that so?”

“Yes. I have no idea how they are feeling on the inside, but the overall leader of the eradication squad supposedly said, ‘I’m glad I’m not in a position to issue commands to a priestess who seems to possess a fissure of a God!’”

“Moreover, it is also an order from Susanoo-sama. Criticism for personal and vulgar reasons is not allowed no matter what, and it is the one who criticizes who will suffer the consequences of doing so.”

“Mm.”

Although I highly doubt it, what harm can it possibly do if no significant issues are brought to light?

By the way, the overall leader of the eradication squad? What do they mean by “priestess”? Well, considering my appearance, I can see why someone would want to call me that. But those who treat me like a priestess… hahaha

I mean, based on what you just described, there might be minor issues. Do both of you have no problem remaining in such a group?

I inquire about it from each of them.

“I will go wherever you go, Akira onee-sama!” Sora-san answers cheerfully.

“I’m willing to help Akira-san as always,” reply Toki-san.

Yeah. It’s all well and good that you both adore me, but have I ever given you a reason to adore me so deeply? When I have the opportunity, I might want to ask them that question.

“So, back to the subject, the first Special Operations Squad’s activities will officially begin one week from today since Akira-san was discharged from hospital today. And from tomorrow, we will first make our rounds to greet other teams such as the R&D and Intelligence Teams.”

“I heard that a unit that would prioritize dealing with us has been formed by the R&D team and the Intelligence Team.”

“Hmm. Well, having a backup is vital. I’ll be appreciative of it.”

We ultimately make it through the aristocratic neighborhood and arrive at a street lined with stores for people working at the headquarters near the Security Organization headquarters.

By the way, when I started to drink milk, all of a sudden the eyes of people around me, both men and women, seemed to focus on my chest.

“Cough, cough, well, you know. In any case, the actual activities won’t begin until tomorrow; all that has to be done today is the relocation of me and Toki nee-chan.”

“Relocate?”

When she sees my face, Sora-san coughs for some reason before trying to force a little dialogue.

But still, relocate? Relocate… No way!?

“Um, what do you mean by relocating?”

My cheeks twitch somewhat as I stare into their faces.

Sora-san reacts with a broad smile, while Toki-san offers a look that suggests it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

“Of course, it is the dormitory where Akira onee-sama is living now.”

“From now on, that dorm will be used as a residence for the Special Operations Squad.”

“I seeー”

I review what Susanoo-sama had earlier said in light of their statements and come to the conclusion that nothing can be done to halt it.

It would be better if someone informed me about it in advance rather than shocking me with it once the relocation is complete. It won’t be frightening or difficult that way.

“In that case, I guess I’ll show you around the dorm after this.”

“Please take care of me, Akira-san.”

“Thank you very much, Akira onee-sama!”

We then enter the property where the headquarters of the Security Organization is located.
