75 – Inconvenient Rest (1)

The phrase “I don’t know where I am, but I know where I am” Was a perfect situation.

“I felt it hurt, but I thought it was broken… ….”

The discomfort that human beings who use tools feel when their arms are tied and unable to use them far exceeded expectations.

I couldn’t help but feel that way when I couldn’t get up from sleep, go to the bathroom, eat, or do all the things I normally do in my daily life by myself.

Still, I had no regrets because I broke it while trying to catch the falling Anastasia.

“How much longer do you want to stay like this?”

As Adele sat back against the back of her bed and sighed, looking at her bandaged arms, the door suddenly opened.

“Brother, it’s meal time.”

She was Charlotte with a load of food.

She came to serve on Adele’s meals because Adele was unable to feed her by herself.

The work to be done increased, but for some reason Adele didn’t seem displeased, so Adele wondered.

“Why do you think I like being hurt?”

“Does it look like that?”

Tak.

She put the table that Charlotte had brought on the bed.

Adele had ordered us to serve something like porridge as it would be difficult to eat if there were too many side dishes, but the table was full of all sorts of side dishes.

“It’s because you can’t do even a trivial thing like eating a meal by yourself.”

It felt like she had finally got her job back.

Adele, whom she met when she was young, had a strangely grown-up feeling, she was a maid, she felt like she was being taken care of, and since they met again, it was the same.

“That sounds kind of creepy.”

“If you don’t like it, why don’t you find out about her broken arm and ask her saintess to treat it?”

She said, “Even if she noticed, she wouldn’t have entrusted it to the saintess.”

She must have waited for her arm to recover naturally since she must have been quite tired from Anastasia’s treatment and purifying the Magi scattered by Richie.

At Adele’s explanation, Charlotte opened her eyes and held out a large spoonful of her rice.

It meant to stop worrying about other women and to eat.

She used to jump at her monsters to save Lucy, but once she jumped at the fire knight to save Sylvia.

What this time, Richie to save Anastasia?

I’m so dumbfounded by that worry that I don’t even know who I’m most worried about.

“Oops.”

The spoon came in almost to stab her throat.

Unable to finish the explanation of the grain of rice that came into her mouth, Adele quietly muttered at her.

Charlotte also took her rough side dish and she put some extra in his mouth.

“Rather than that, Tina’s condition has been strange since yesterday. Do you know anything, Bocchan?”

“…… Well Last night she was sitting by the window, staring blankly at the moon, but she didn’t say anything.”

“Is that so? Then could you ask me again later? When I asked, he said he was only evasive.”

Is Tina hiding something of her from Charlotte?

She hadn’t been there before, so she was definitely something to worry about.

Adele gulped down what was in her mouth and nodded.

“Let’s do that.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“Then you are Anastasia’s… instead of me.” ….”

The moment Adele was about to speak her mind, Charlotte sensed her and quickly shoved her rice into her mouth.

Adele scolded her with her eyes as if she asked what she was doing, but she was Charlotte that she didn’t blink that much now.

“… ….”

Well well.

In the end, Charlotte had no choice but to accept and eat the side dishes she offered.

Charlotte smiled lightly at Adele, who couldn’t even make a sound and could do nothing but open her mouth like a baby bird.

“Since you are doing this, it seems like you are taking care of a baby.”

Is it because the atmosphere is different from usual?

When she saw the boy who would not be able to resist no matter what she did, she felt a sadistic feeling welling up, which was not usually the case.

At that ominous smile, Adele couldn’t say anything and swallowed her rice.

“What is the habit of talking to the young master you serve… ….”

“Then, to prevent something like this from happening in the future, isn’t it okay if I don’t get hurt?”

So Charlotte covered Adele’s mouth with another spoonful.

“Would you like to wash up after eating? We are here to help.”

Anyway, it seemed that the situation was amusing.

* * *

Despite the monster attack, daily life at the academy was normal.

It was because there was a guideline from the chairman that it was legal to take a break in general, but it was up to the students to decide whether or not to take a break.

However, most of the students who saw the monster attack with their own eyes chose to take a break in shock, and only a few students took a face stamp.

“Adele…… Didn’t come…….”

One of those few students.

Anastasia, as always, sat in the front seat and looked at the empty seat next to her, the corners of her mouth drooping.

She didn’t want to be alone in the dormitory even after that happened yesterday. She went to school, but Adele said she wouldn’t leave her alone, because it seems she didn’t go to school.

“No.”

There is still a little time left before the lecture starts.

She might be coming a little late, so let’s wait.

With that thought, Anastasia lay down on her desk and stared at the clock like a puppy waiting for her owner to return.

Tick tock, tick tock…….

The hour hand flowed endlessly, unaware of Anastasia’s heart.

Anastasia’s heart grew more and more nervous as the lecture start time approached and no one came to open the door.

“I’m not coming. Didn’t you do something last night?”

Lucy, who sat with her arms folded in the seat behind her, asked Lucy, who was sitting right next to her in the same posture with her robe pulled over.

“Didn’t you see I promised Anastasia yesterday that I wouldn’t touch you?”

“Ah, put your finger on it… ….”

“… ….”

At Lucy’s words that seemed to be laughing at herself, the mature Lucy frowned at her.

I tried so hard to forget the disgrace of yesterday.

She barely made it into a vague memory through long meditation, so why bother to bring it to mind?

“Anyway, I didn’t touch you? Doubting me like that is unpleasant, so can you please stop?”

“It’s your fault for singing and going around killing Adele.”

A mature Lucy was furious at Lucy’s sarcasm, but she couldn’t refute it.

It was her own karma that instilled her awareness that she was a madwoman with revenge in that short time, so she has to put up with it even if it hurts.

“But are you worried about Adele?”

Lucy’s shoulder responds to the matured Lucy’s words.

When Lucy turned her head away from her reaction, as if she had matured, Lucy slightly averted her gaze.

“If you’ve been helped up to this point, you might be a little worried. What a heartless woman you are.”

“What, what? Who said what? Why are you overreacting?”

“Anyway, you didn’t touch me, so why isn’t Adele coming?”

“Are you talking openly?”

“What are you saying? This is what I was asking from the beginning.”

Wow, did I do this.

Lucy, having matured at the brazenness of her past self, stuck out her tongue.

“Saintess, it seems that Adele did not go to school today.”

Sylvia nodded her head slightly when Alessia, who had sneakily looked around her classroom, reported it.

She doesn’t show her outwardly, but Alessia, who has been watching her for a while, can tell what she’s thinking right away.

“Are you that worried?”

“Originally, I didn’t intend to do it, but seeing that it didn’t come out, I’m honestly a bit worried.”

From noble mtl dot com

Sylvia answered honestly, resting her chin on it.

I didn’t say it out of selfishness, but because I felt a sense of duty to check the health of those who fought against the lich yesterday, so there was nothing shameful about it.

“Considering my physical condition, I didn’t feel like I hadn’t received treatment, so there might have been an unconfirmed injury, right?”

“You are right.”

When Alessia nodded her head in agreement, she thought that this was natural, and Sylvia spat out the words that came to her mind.

“Besides, it seems that he and the maid he accompanied were the only ones who didn’t come to the academy, so it would be right for me to visit, right now, right?”

But if you ask me if I have no dark feelings in what I said this time…… It didn’t seem like that.

Alessia felt that the words she uttered this time were uncharacteristic of her, as if she was hiding her meaning.

But what about it?

I don’t mean to commit evil.

There was no problem at all, so Alessia affirmed her words just like before.

“You are right. Adele might be impressed by the benevolent heart of her saintess.”

“Uh…… Is that so?”

“Yes, I am certain.”

“Then, shall we go?”

“I will guide you.”

Alessia was about to leave her classroom pushing Sylvia’s wheelchair like that.

Drreuk.

The sound of pushing a chair and getting up at the same time as if a sum had been put together.

Sylvia turned around, wondering if she was doing that because of the sound of her leaving the classroom.

“Ah.”

Two women who appear to have gotten up from their seats for reasons similar to her own.

Anastasia and Lucy coincidentally meet her eyes.
