"...Stagger duration!"
Asuna covered her mouth.
[Holy crap]
[A divine item]
[It temporarily reduces your maximum HP, but you won't be interrupted at critical moments, and stagger is greatly reduced. So useful]
[Feels like it's better to prepare before fighting a BOSS. If you keep it normally, it's too much of a loss]
[Keeping it normally can increase the duration]
[To be fair, for a player like President Asuna, even if this effect were permanent, it'd still be an incredible bargain
"Thank you...! This blessing is wonderful...!"
Asuna blushed.
Though she had been inexplicably hugged, she had at least gotten something good out of it.
"Um, you said just now that this was some kind of custom from your homeland?" Asuna asked, sitting at the bedside.
"Back in my homeland, I was called a 'Deathbed Companion.' After receiving the warmth and strength to live from countless heroes, I could sleep beside a great person and restore a precious life to them—I existed for that purpose."
[Message from Party A: Please exercise self-restraint]
The stage suddenly gave a warning.
Asuna was somewhat speechless.
But at a time like this, she could only hurriedly smooth things over.
"So... it's something like end-of-life care? A Deathbed Companion... that's truly noble."
There were many interpretations of what a Deathbed Companion did.
One theory was that a Deathbed Companion's work was similar to "end-of-life care."
"Not quite. But before I could restore life to great people, I awakened because of grace and was driven from my homeland. Even so, I still wish to become a Deathbed Companion."
Asuna let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, they had circled back.
Safe!
