Lina learned that method to help her sister when she was weak and wanted to have long hair quickly. It was only a cheap trick that didn't have any real value, but Lina was sure that as a girl, Julie would be glad of having her hair in a good state. She felt that Julie being bald after awakening wouldn't be good for her mental state.
They also planned to use their combination healing with the ones waiting outside since Yale felt bad when he saw them with the after-effects of having lived in prison.
Julie was sleeping in bed, but it was a wonder if she would awake someday or not. After her body was perfectly healed, her chances of awakening would be the highest, and if she didn't recover her mind at that moment, her chances of doing it in the future would be shallow.
Anyway, since Lina would notice any change that happened in that room even while waiting outside, both of them left.
Yale removed the isolation barrier that separated them from the rest before speaking.
"Julie is already healed, but there is no way to predict what would happen to her mind. Now, we will heal you all. Stand in line."
Except for Ange, the others put in line before Yale and Lina as they knew that although their lives weren't in threat, they were far from their peak state.
With Yale and Lina working together, it wasn't difficult restoring everyone to their peak state, at least physically speaking. There wasn't anything to do if they developed hidden traumas due to the experience.
"Ange, you seem to be alright. Do you feel something wrong?"
Lina went to speak with Ange after finishing to heal the rest. It was obvious that she didn't have any problem in her body and her mind didn't seem to have problems either, but Lina's intuition told her that there was something wrong with Ange.
"I am alright. I remember that I was kidnapped and fainted. The next I remember is waking up here."
The royal guards forced Ange to faint when they kidnapped her as catching a law Master was always tricky due to the power of the Laws. She should have awakened a bit after being imprisoned, but since her time stopped, she didn't experience being inside the prison at all.
"It is good that you are alright."
Lina hugged Ange while saying that, but she still felt that there was something wrong. She didn't doubt Ange's words because she felt that probably Ange herself didn't know about what was wrong.
After that, Lina walked towards Yale and hugged him from his back. Yale was shocked by Lina's behavior, but he felt that she was just taking revenge for his previous hug, and since everyone believed that they were a couple, it wasn't strange that Lina hugged Yale suddenly.
"It is good that our precious daughter is in a perfect state."
Lina felt that Yale definitely knew about what was wrong with Ange, so she put a remark in her last words.
Yale indeed knew about it, but he didn't plan to speak about that topic, so he feigned ignorance. Lina noticed that Yale was hiding the truth, so she didn't free him from her hug as punishment.
While Lina and Yale had their secret battler, they just seemed a lovely couple for the others, which made Lar and Aizu very angry.
They even guessed that maybe Yale and Lina were faking a relationship to made them stop pursuing Yale since they knew that Yale wasn't interested in those things. Moreover, they thought that Yale was guilty due to the outcome of the war and didn't want to put them in danger.
Thus, after thinking a bit, they thought that maybe everything was just an act, and Lina was just a friend of Yale who was helping him, but when they saw Lina hugging Yale from his back, they discarded that idea.
They were unable to read Yale's feelings, but they were sure that Lina wasn't acting at all, and those two combined their powers to heal perfectly seeming a perfectly coordinated couple, so they felt even more depressed.
Lina herself wasn't conscious of her own feelings as that was the first time, she felt like that; she hugged Yale to tease him, but she noticed that although she was still shy due to hugging Yale, she also liked it.
It wasn't unusual that third parties were able to notice things better than oneself especially in those topics, but the fact that the third parties were the other girls pursuing Yale made it more painful for them.
As for Yale, he just felt that Lina's acting skills were superb, but since he knew that Lina was extremely talented in everything, he wasn't overly surprised by it.
If it weren't because he knew Lina and both agreed to feign having a relationship, he would have thought that Lina really loved him seeing her actions.
"Lina, we aren't married yet."
Lina was shocked by those words, but then she noticed the stared of everyone and she let Yale go.
"Sorry..."
Lina felt ashamed of having acted like that in front of everyone. She just planned to hug him a bit, but as she liked it, she remained doing it while thinking that was just punishing Yale.
"Don't worry. I understand you, but there are a time and place for everything."
Yale patter Lina's head while saying that. Although hat seemed a conversation about their future as a couple, Lina managed to catch Yale's hidden meaning.
"I know what happens to Ange, but I can't tell you her at this moment, please wait."
That was the translation for Yale's words that she understood, and she felt that he was right since they were in public and maybe it wasn't something that was good for others to hear.
"I know. I won't be impatient."
She said those words with the meaning that she would wait for Yale's explanation alter, but everyone felt that those two were waiting to marry to step further in their relationship.
It was a great effort for Aizu and Lar prevent themselves from crying at that moment, but they managed to do it.
