Chapter 13
A few minutes or so later, I woke up in the medic room, where I sat up and all the pierce wounds were gone. My breastplate was missing, probably being repaired a second time. Those two armor smiths were probably dumbfounded once again by how easily the orichalcum had been cut.
I moved my legs to the side of the bed and stood up, and I realized that Soul Calibur had been placed in my hands. I guessed these doctors didn't want to do any more work than they had to. I was face-to-face with a female blonde nurse.
"Glad you've made a full recovery, Siegfried. Consider yourself lucky that none of those hit your vital organs. You're free to go," the woman said, and gave a dismissive wave before returning to the bed of the boy with the halberd.
I retrieved my armor and donned it before going back to the waiting room, where I could see the ceremony for the tournament champion. Ivy stood in the center of the arena, waving with one hand. There was a small bag of what appeared to be coins held next to her sword in her other hand.
After the ceremony, Ivy returned to the waiting room and took a seat next to me. "I expected better from you. You disappointed me."
"Well, I wasn't expecting you to be so brutal, plus I didn't want to kill you, either. So, about Mitsurugi… when's all this taking place?"
"In a few hours."
"Would you be interested in joining me for dinner?"
"Of course. Where did you have in mind?"
