Elfnein's deduction had been correct. As an outsider, for a Singer to unleash power within Raye's mental home ground came at a considerable cost.
Just like now—even Singers like Hibiki Tachibana, who considered themselves mentally strong, found themselves unable to take any action after the battle and had to be cared for.
"This won't do. How about, the next time we get in touch with Elfnein, Hibiki, you go outside and rest first? You should still be able to see what's happening here from outside, right?"
Seeing Hibiki Tachibana in this state, Kohinata Miku awkwardly made the suggestion.
"No, I can't. We finally got this chance—how could I give it up!"
"It's okay, Miku. I'll push myself a little more. I definitely won't affect what we do next."
Hearing that, Hibiki Tachibana immediately forced herself upright with all her strength, making it clear that she had no intention of accepting the suggestion.
She had always believed that unless one experienced that piercing pain from a first-person perspective, there was no way mutual understanding could reach one hundred percent.
"All right, then. Do your best, Hibiki."
Faced with her best friend's insistence, Kohinata Miku stopped trying to persuade her and chose to offer her silent encouragement instead.
"I absolutely can't miss anything about Raye-chan. Ugh, I'm so tired, I have no strength left... Hm? What is Raye-chan going to do?"
Supporting herself upright, Hibiki Tachibana glanced in Raye's direction and asked.
Raye, who had been organizing the transport work, had an electronic device in her hand emit an alarm. Then, her expression unchanged, she turned and quickly headed in a certain direction.
"Maybe she has something to do. Do you need me to go take a look for you, Hibiki?"
"Ah, then please, Miku."
"It's fine. I'm a little curious too."
