…and you. - 0311_I'm Fine, Thank YOU - Chapter 8: ・│・・││││ - Episode 4

The Eternals successfully carve away the rapidly expanding slime until the core is exposed, allowing Shinsha to funnel mana from the boundary into Nectar and bring him back to his senses. Calling Nectar "Kamuzumi," Ewiyar informs him that he has a job to do.

---

Nectar: ...

Ewiyar: Former wedge, Kamuzumi! Prepare to have that foolish form of yours sent flying!

Ewiyar: ...

Ewiyar: Myah!

The air itself begins to tremble, and the gray slime that had been flowing throughout the airship is blasted away.

Niyon: Amazing. Even with all this noise, the melody still hasn't broken down.

Ugusu: Nectar got blown away!

Nectar: ...

Tweyen: Hyah!

Nectar: ...

A shower of arrows unleashed by Tweyen's arcane bow skewers the writhing sludge where it lies.

Anre: Hah!

The sludge then struggles to free itself, but Anre stops it in place.

Niyon: Seofon, Eahta... Here!

Seofon: Hiyah!

Eahta: Haah!

Under Niyon's direction, Seofon and Eahta slice through the enormous grey mass, cutting away the majority of it not in the core's direct vicinity.

Threo: Eat this!

Mugen: Hyah!

The detached slime is then thoroughly obliterated by Threo's and Mugen's blows.

Feower: We're up, Sis!

Tien: Mhm!

The twins' blades and bullets carve away the remaining sludge as it clings to the core and attempts to increase its size once more.

Ugusu: Nectar!

Able to sense the core's location via Shinsha, Ugusu picks up a small chunk from among the slime splattered throughout the area.

Shinsha: Ugusu! Nectar!

Thus the only remaining fragment of the gray mass is passed from Ugusu's beak to Shinsha's palm.

Shinsha: Nectar... Nectar, come back to us!

Nectar: ...

Shinsha: Nectar... Can you hear my voice? It's me, Shinsha...

The gray slime quivers slightly as though struggling to respond to Shinsha's whispered pleas.

Shinsha: (If I give Nectar my mana, won't he just grow huge again?)

Shinsha: (But I can't leave him so weak...)

Ewiyar: You've done well for a mere creature of the Sky Realm! I commend you!

Shinsha: Kitty... I mean, Ewiyar!

Ewiyar: Girl of the Gate, swing it wide and let the power of the boundary flow into him.

Ewiyar: I will guide Kamuzumi so that he is reborn in his proper form.

Shinsha: Kamuzumi?

Ewiyar: Come now! There's not a moment to waste!

Shinsha: O-okay!

Shinsha: ...

Shinsha: Nectar... Nectar... Take my power!

Nectar: ...

Nectar has been visualizing countless failed possibilities—alternate routes that could have come to pass—all at the same time.

One where Shinsha's harrowing experience at the Sky's Sanctum had driven her mad, and Nectar had lost his sense of self once more, unable to save her...

Another where Shinsha had lived a peaceful life, never knowing anything about the Sky's Sanctum, Nectar, or her animal friends...

Viewing so many worlds simultaneously has caused his soul to diffuse and his body to lose control, rendering him utterly helpless.

Within this maelstrom of possibilities where only seeing is allowed, Nectar is on the brink of losing his will completely.

However...

Shinsha: ...

Shinsha: Nectar!

Nectar: Shin... sha...

Shinsha: Yes, it's me! It's Shinsha! Hang in there just a little longer, Nectar.

Shinsha: I'll give you some mana now, okay? I'm sure it will make you feel better, so please...

Nectar: Shinsha...

Shinsha: Please... don't leave me...

Nectar: Yes, Shinsha...

Shinsha's will stimulates Nectar's own, giving him the power to free himself from the vortex of information.

Nectar: ...

Nectar: Shinsha!

Shinsha: Nectar!

Nectar: Yes, Shinsha?

Ugusu: Hooray! Nectar's back to Nectar!

Kushina: ...!
(Don't scare us like that! We were so worried!)

Nectar: Ugusu, Kushina. I am truly sorry.

Ugusu: You apologized, so I forgive you!

Shinsha: Hehe.

Seofon: It sure wasn't easy, but we somehow managed to fulfill our promise to Seox and get this all sorted out.

Ewiyar: And every bit of it is thanks to me!

Tweyen: True, resolving that would have been next to impossible without your help. Thank you, Ewiyar.

Ewiyar: Heheh! As long as you're aware!

Ewiyar: Now then, Kamuzumi!

Nectar: No, I am Nectar. Not Kamuzumi.

Ewiyar: Well, whatever your name is then! The point is, you must do as I say!

Ewiyar: There's no time to waste! We must take action to put things back in order as soon as possible!

Owing to the assistance of Ewiyar and the Eternals, Shinsha has succeeded in restoring Nectar to his previous form.

However, an even greater threat still looms over the Sky Realm, soon to make itself known.
