311 She's not checking you out...

As she heard his voice, Queen Mother looked behind her in order to see the speaker.

"So it really is Alex…"

There, Queen Mother saw Alex, who approached them with a spring on his step.

There was no trace of agony on his face, and his clothes were all back in their pristine condition.

Behind Alex, Queen Mother saw Alina, who was following Alex.

Unlike Alex who looked somewhat jolly, Alina seemed to be somewhat angry, which was punctuated by her occasional glares at Alex.

Alex seemed to take no notice of this as he continued on walking towards Queen Mother.

"…He recovered from that short amount of time?" Queen Mother thought to herself as she narrowed her eyes. "Is this really possible?"

From what Queen Mother can remember, only a minute has passed by since she and Professor Frances had left Alex.

A minute, which is just an equivalent of 60 seconds.

That was the total time that they had left Alex alone with Alina.
