"Oh right, I also informed your sister-in-law about the demons that might appear in the capital that you mentioned before."
"That ugly toad demon has also been captured."
"I didn't expect that guy to actually be a witcher. You were right about that."
Koko looked at Viktor suspiciously for a few moments, then said:
"I'm starting to seriously doubt that you're a reincarnated person who has experienced everything."
"Didn't I say that's just a story?"
Viktor smiled calmly and spoke again:
"Don't take it seriously."
"Haha, so this is the source of your confidence that you're not even afraid of death."
Kokot chuckled, his gaze sweeping over Viktor, who was struggling to move, before speaking:
"That's right. Even if you die, it's just starting over for you. In that case, there's really nothing to be afraid of about dying."
As he said this, Kokot was still carefully observing Viktor's eyes.
But she discovered that Viktor's gaze wasn't as fearless as she had imagined.
Instead, his eyes held a hint of confusion, a touch of dejection, and a dimming light.
It's like suddenly losing your way forward.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, uttering a few words:
"...Perhaps."
Then, perhaps feeling unwell, Viktor coughed several times suddenly.
The force of his cough made his body tremble violently; each cough seemed to squeeze all the air out of his lungs.

Their eyes trembled simultaneously.
Viktor, on the other hand, quickly suppressed the trembling in his eyes and acted as if nothing had happened.
"It seems you were right after all."
"I'm destined not to live very long."
Koko didn't react for a long time.
After a long while, she finally let out a soft "oh".
Then she turned away, so that Victor wouldn't see the expression on her face.
"Alright, you should continue to rest."
"I'll go and take a look."
As she spoke, she walked out of Victor's bedroom and gently closed the door behind her.
As soon as he stepped outside, Cocot leaned against the bedroom door.
He looked up at the ceiling of the corridor and sighed helplessly.
Indeed, Viktor quickly concealed the tremor in his eyes.
but,
Cocotte noticed it nonetheless.
