"Eh? I have to decide it myself?" Noel blinked his eyes a few times.

"I apologize." Noel looked down. Still, he was excited that he could be revived. He clenched his hands into fists, determined to go back. But the decision he had to make was rather a hard one.

"The only way for you to go back to the living world is by repairing your body and recovering your life force. I'm sure you are already aware of it."

"Yes." Noel nodded. If he didn't know, he wouldn't say that the pill from the Sword Saint wasn't enough.

"Your body can be repaired with the pill you have. In fact, that lady has done it for you."
