It was almost five years ago when Sam and Ur met.

--Suddenly, Ur collapsed.

It was a great shock to Sam that Ur, who had been so healthy for the past four years that even killing her would not kill her, collapsed without warning.

During training, she had been smiling and firing off magic shots, but when she suddenly turned pale and clutched her chest, Sam's blood ran cold.

It was none other than Ur herself who calmed the distraught Sam down.

Breathing heavily, she said, "You'll feel better after a little rest.

So Sam carried her on his back and returned to the small inn where they were staying.

And now.

Sam watches over her, never leaving her side as she sleeps peacefully in her bed in a small town near the capital of the Kingdom of Skye, Ur's home.

(What happened to Ur? Sickness? But I haven't seen any sign of that in the past four years. Maybe he was sick, but I didn't notice it?)

She said she would get better with rest, but she has been asleep for half a day now.

It was already dark as night fell.

The fear that Ur might not wake up again.

Sam prayed to God for the first time since his rebirth in this world.

"...... and ...... Sam."

As Sam sits in a chair by his bed and continues to pray, a voice unexpectedly calls out to him.

Ur has awakened.

Sam kicked the chair and ran to her.

"Ur, how are you feeling?"

Still pale, he anxiously calls out to his beloved mentor.

She forced herself to smile.

"Of course I'm fine."

"Don't lie to me. I didn't expect you to collapse. ...... If you're not feeling well, you should tell me you're not feeling well."

"Oh, for heaven's sake, don't look so pathetic, boy."

Ur gently stroked Sam's dark head.

"If he's awake, let's go to the hospital. If you can't, I'll get a doctor.

It's a small town, but we have doctors.

If the town doctor doesn't work, head for King's Landing.

"I don't need a doctor."

But Ur's words were not what Sam expected.

"Why?

He couldn't help but raise his voice.

Then Ur made a somewhat soothing sound.

"I know what I'm doing with my body," he said.

"But that doesn't mean..."

"Sam, listen to me. I don't have long to live."

"--what?"

Sam couldn't believe his ears.

No, he could hear, but he didn't want to accept Ur's words.

"What are you talking about? Don't you know what to say and what not to say anymore?"

Suddenly, Ulle starts to sound weak, and Sam feels inexpressible uneasiness.

He had never seen Ur like this before.

She has always been strong, confident, and sometimes arrogant.

She had never looked so weak before.

"Calm down and listen to me, Sam. I'm suffering from an incurable disease.

"What?"

"It's a malignant disease with no known cause or cure. It is a rare disease that rarely affects people with strong magical powers.

"Oh, no, because, ur-"

Sam is upset by Ur's confession, but she doesn't care and proceeds with her story.

"I'm sorry for keeping this from you. I'm sorry for keeping it from you, but I've been in a good mood.

He doesn't give Sam time to take in his words and chew them over.

"As a matter of fact, when they found out I was sick, they said I wouldn't last a year."

"...... no such thing."

"So I left everything and ran away without telling my family about my illness. All in order to find my successor."

Ur looked at Sam and smiled.

"And I found the man I was looking for. And I found the one I was looking for, my dear apprentice, Sam.

"Wait a minute, Ur! One year? We've been together for four years!"

"I wondered too. I thought that maybe the disease had been cured. But the disease was still a disease.

"We need a doctor, we need a doctor! In a city as big as King's Landing, there must be a doctor who can heal Ur!"

Ur shook his head quietly at Sam's suggestion.

"Unfortunately, I have always lived in King's Landing. I've used all my contacts, I've seen the most renowned doctors and wizards. The result is that I have one year to live."

"...... Oh, no, then what do we do?"

"But life is interesting. The light of my life has lasted me not one but four years. I'm sure it's because of Sam.

"Ur, stop it! Don't say that, we will continue to adventure, laugh and be together."

Sam shouts at Ur, who is talking as if he has already succumbed to the disease.

I can't let my master die like this.

I will do whatever it takes to keep him alive.

I would give my life for his life.

Sam really thought about it.

"I know these will be my last words, so I'm going to say them. --I love you, Sam."
