"Even... even you're going into battle wounded. If I still... still kept lying in a hospital bed, that'd be way too... too embarrassing." Divine endured the agony brought on by the side effects of Hagoromo Gitsune's pill. But whether he had already gotten used to that pain or for some other reason, he felt the agony in his body beginning to weaken. Even so, it still made his voice tremble slightly as he spoke.
