If his luck was terrible and he drew none of those, Elliot actually had a fallback.
He could send one of Dorothea's mirrors over through the altar.
Dorothea could teleport using [Mirror Secret Art]. In theory, she could go over and bring Elsa back.
But this plan was extremely risky. Elliot did not want to try it unless he had no other choice.
Dorothea could not resurrect. There was absolutely no room for error.
Besides, no one knew how far Elsa's Moonheart was from the Seabed, whether Dorothea could get there, or whether she would have enough spirituality left afterward to bring Elsa back.
And worst of all, Dorothea's teleportation had a long windup and recovery. It would take quite a while to complete.
Elsa's current state was extremely unstable. That was enough time for her to go mad several times.
In other words, even if Dorothea succeeded, there was a considerable chance she would bring Elsa over right when Elsa had fallen into permanent madness and [Honey] had yet to treat her.
Then everything would be over. If Elsa's body died, [Resurrection] could be used, but permanent madness was not death. It would not trigger [Resurrection].
If she died at that point and [Resurrection] brought her back in her maddened state, there would truly be no saving her.
It would be like saving into a dead end.
So, after considering the risks, Elliot could only leave Dorothea as an absolute last resort.
He would allocate points first. Even if he unlocked nothing, he could at least raise her rank. Once she reached middle rank, her resistance to [Secret History] would increase significantly. Perhaps she would stop going mad!
As for whether she could reach middle rank and what the middle-rank quest was, those were matters for later. Points first!
