Waking Up
〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜？？？side〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜
I returned from scouting with Teleportation Magic. Tsk! I get irritated when I think about how I have to report that result to those shitty old men.
I knock the door as I’m thinking that.
“Excuse me”
“Oo! You’ve returned! So, how was it!?”
“Unfortunately, the plan ended with a failure”
“What! You said that that method will go definitely well so since after the previous large march, without the Kingdom side knowing, we’ve prepared and sent in a spy but, you’re saying that it failed so easily! Are you screwing around!”
Keh! Didn’t the preparations revolve around me! Even though you readily go along when I proposed it, you immediately change your attitude the moment it fails.
“Leave it there”
“Haa! Your Majesty, what about this fellow’s punishment?”
“I’ll give the orders later. Wait for further notice”
“Haa!”
Saying that, I left the room. Those shitty bastards. It had gone well until midway. But, it all went wrong because of that kid. What’s with that guy? The skill to send tens of orcs and an Orc General flying with one attack. That level at that age. In order get the territory next time, eliminating him is a priority. It’ll be great if it doesn’t get in the way of that person……
I disappeared into the darkness as I’m thinking about that.
〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜Lei side〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜
Uーn, my body’s heavy. Is it because I just woke up? But I can’t move my body. Sleep paralysis!? is what I thought as I open my eyes and before my eyes were the reason why my body can’t move.
“Munyu~Onii-shama~”
“Lei-shama~I love you~”
Filia and Chrona are on top of me with a pleasant expression that makes me want to ask ‘What kind of dream are you seeing!’
And beside the bed on the left side.
“Uuーn. Lei~”
Is Aerith who’s sleep talking. Furthermore, she’s holding onto my hand. How do I say this, she has sword calluses because she normally holds a sword but, the softness that’s peculiar to a woman remains. When I squeeze her hand back, it feels like Aerith face became a happy face. To that expression and softness, my heart throbbed unintentionally.
“That’s no good! Even if it’s just half, we’re blood-related siblings! I can’t look at her with such evil eyes!”
Suddenly, the angel from within me says that as it came out.
Over there.
“Don’t bring your ethics from the previous life into this world! You also know after investigating it, right? That blood-related family members can marry in this world!” the devil came out of me.
Though it’s not recommended, family members can get married in this world. The reason is as one would expect, the status. Those families that don’t want to reveal the status to strangers no matter what, will get family members of opposite sex to marry.
The devil and angel are battling each other in such me when, a knock can be heard from the door.
“Lei-sama, excuse me”
As she says that, Chloe enters.
“Lei-sama! You’ve regained consciousness!”
Wai! If you raise such a loud voice, everybody will
“Fua~ Onii-sama? Onii-sama! You’ve finally awakened!”
“U~n. Nn? Aa! It’s Lei-sama! You finally woke up~!”
Filia jumped into me while saying that. Chrona as well afterwards.
“Today it can’t be helped so I’ll share half with Chrona! Onii-sama~!”
“Lei-sama~! Please pet my head~! I’ve been holding it in all this time~!”
“Wait a minute, Chloe. How many days have I been asleep?”
“About two days. According to the doctor, it’s severe magic power deficiency so everybody wasn’t that worried. If I have to say then, Aerith-sama’s injuries are worse. Aa! She has fully recovered with recovery magic so please be at ease”
I’m glad. I asked Chloe about the things that happened when I’m unconscious while petting the head of both Filia and Chrona.
“When Lei-sama returned to the mansion carried by Alene-sama, the bell for the large march’s end tolled. It seems the end of the large march this time is the fastest it has ever been in history. Sieg-sama said there’s something he wants to talk about regarding this matter, I’m thinking of calling him but, is it fine?”
“Aa. It’s fine. Filia, Chrona, sorry. I’m going to have an important talk with Chichiue from now on so, can I have you guys go outside and play with Chloe?”
“Ehーー! That’s! Even though I thought I could finally have Onii-sama pay attention to me”
“Uu~Lei-shama~”
Wait! Don’t look at me with those eyes! I’m being tormented by the extreme sense of guilt.
“Let’s go shopping next time! I’ll make time to play with the two of you so, forgive me!”
“You absolutely have to! Absolutely absolutely!”
“Please do! Lei-sama!”
It’s good that they are energetic but, isn’t the mood change too fast.
And then, at the same time as when the three of them went out, Sieg, Eris and Alene, came in.
“You’re awake huh, Lei”
“Yes. I’ve made you worry”
“If I’m saying it as a Feudal Lord then I want to say, ‘You’ve really helped us by protecting the residents’ but, if it’s as a father then there’s a part of me that wants to say ‘Don’t go overboard, you idiot!’ and a part of me that wants to compliment you with, ‘You did well! As expected of my son!'”
Sieg smiles bitterly as he says that.
“Mou! If you’re a father then you have to properly scold him when it’s the time to scold! Lei, you can’t do anything that reckless again! Had your magic power dried up more than that, it’ll become a life or death matter!”
As expected, the last attack magic’s endowment was unwise huh.
“Haha, I’ll be careful from now on”
I say that and, I got glared at by Eris. I can’t guarantee it so it can’t be helped.
“Well, isn’t it fine. Since the territory’s danger has passed”
“That’s true but, if I don’t properly tell him about this sort of things, the same thing will happen again!”
“Indeed, I also heard about the matter this time and got mad at Aerith. I understand those feeling but, Lei is still in convalescence. Let’s leave it here for today”
Oo! As expected of Sensei! You understand!
“Well, tomorrow’s training will be double of what it has been. I’ll also have you show me. The thing about overlapping endowment magic”
Uwaa! This person is only looking forward to that! She’s making a frighteningly pleasant smile! I got deceived!
“That’s true. Then Lei. Let’s talk in detail about this large march tomorrow. It’s fine to relax for today. Let Aerith sleep as she is as well. She has been by Lei’s side nursing you the entire time”
Is that so. I have to express my gratitude.
“Make sure to properly rest. Good night, Lei-chan”
“Good night, Hahaue1”
“I’m looking forward to tomorrow, Lei?”
“Ye, yes. That’s right, Sensei”
“Have a good rest”
“Yes, Chichiue”
After everybody went out, I looked at my own status. When I did that, I got surprised by the various changes.
