Chapter 48
by Afuhfuihgs“… Fuck.”
I couldn’t help but curse as soon as I woke up in the morning.
Even though I’ve reduced swearing while working at the castle, this was unavoidable.
“How am I supposed to change clothes?”
Come to think of it, I was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
Although it wasn’t uncomfortable since it was a dress, it felt really gross.
“Kyle… I wish he would come quickly…”
I once saw a manga.
A protagonist who rode horses became paralyzed from the waist down and pathetically called for a nurse.
My situation was exactly like that.
I can’t do anything because my leg is injured.
There are crutches beside me but…
The problem was that it wasn’t just a cast on my leg.
Kyle was so worried that he wrapped bandages tightly around my arms too.
There were also bandages wrapped around my head.
“My arms weren’t injured that badly…”
Anyway, thanks to this, I became unable to do anything.
I understood why they wrapped bandages around my head since it’s a truly important part.
I would have done the same.
I usually woke Kyle up.
As his personal servant, that much was expected.
But now I’m in a situation where I can’t wake Kyle up, so will he wake up well and come to help me?
“….”
Hmm.
*
“Miss Sofia, are you alright?”
“.. No.”
All I had managed to do before Kyle arrived was barely go to the bathroom using crutches.
“Young master, how am I supposed to shower…?”
“….”
Kyle and I fell into silent contemplation.
Yes, come to think of it, I couldn’t bathe by myself!
Crippled leg, bandages on my arms.
“I’ll help you.”
“Pardon?”
“Miss Sofia, you’ve attended to my baths too. You’re like this because of me, so I think it’s right for me to help you.”
“Uh..”
Well, it would be convenient for me if he did that.
But something felt strange.
Showing my naked body to Kyle….
“Uh…”
“Shall we move to the bathroom first?”
“.. Yes.”
It felt somewhat strange, but there was no choice.
I couldn’t bathe alone in this condition.
I moved with Kyle’s support, not using the crutches.
We didn’t put our arms around each other’s shoulders.
Kyle was too tall for that.
“Young master, I would appreciate it if you could get my underwear and clothes from my room.”
“.. Yes.”
Before going to the bath, we decided to stop by my room briefly to get my clothes.
The clothes I was wearing now were comfortable but had become very dirty.
I leaned against the wall in front of my room and waited for Kyle briefly.
I thought it might be too stimulating for a young man, but there was no way someone like me would be stimulating.
“I’ve got them. Let’s go wash up.”
“Yes.”
I moved again with Kyle’s support.
Kyle’s thick and firm hands were holding my shoulder and hand.
It was amazing how the child I raised had grown up to be so fine.
It was also amazing to see him helping a woman like a knight.
“Hehe..”
My body was still not good, but I couldn’t help but smile.
*
“…..”
“Young master, what’s wrong?”
I said that after taking off my clothes.
To wash, I had to undress inevitably.
After roughly undressing, I wrapped my body with the towel Kyle had given me first and turned toward Kyle.
“You need to come in with me. I’ve become unable to wash by myself.”
“.. Yes, I’ll come in…”
He entered the bathroom filled with the characteristic moisture of a bathhouse.
I probably wouldn’t be able to enjoy the tub as usual, but the typical feeling of the bathroom was still nice.
“Phew… it’s just coming to the bathroom, why is it so tiring..”
“Haha..”
Kyle showed an awkward smile at my words.
In terms of distance, it wouldn’t take 3 or 5 minutes, but it took more than 10 minutes to get here, so it was understandable.
“Young master, do you know how to attend to someone’s bath? If you don’t know..”
“I’ll handle it.”
“O.. Okay..”
I was going to teach him…
I was going to be a tutor again after a long time…
I really felt useless.
“Stay seated as you are.”
“Yes.”
As Kyle said, I sat still on the chair.
Right leg stretched out in front, the other leg normal.
I don’t understand why there’s a cast in a fantasy world.
Actually, I’m not sure if this is even a cast.
It’s hard and feels similar, but… something is slightly different.
“Then.. I’ll wash you.”
“Yes.”
Kyle started washing me, just like I used to do for him.
“Uh..”
I was slightly startled when Kyle’s hand suddenly touched my shoulder.
I thought he was just going to wipe with a towel, but suddenly his hand came up.
“Hmm..”
Kyle washed me diligently.
Because Kyle was strong, it felt a bit painful, but as I received it, it also felt somewhat good.
Like getting a massage while being washed?
It was a different feeling from how I usually wash myself.
“Hmm.. mmm…”
“….”
“Young master, you need to wash my hair too..”
“Yes.”
I changed my posture to lie almost flat on the chair.
Since he had cleaned the waste from my body with a towel and water, he needed to wash my hair too.
“Oh… ohh.. yes..”
Kyle… washed my hair surprisingly well…
He washed my hair with a gentle touch, but perhaps due to Kyle’s characteristic strength, the massage too…
“Hmmm…”
He did well.
“….”
Then it was time to wash my body with a shower towel and soap.
But suddenly Kyle’s hands stopped.
Was there a problem?
“Young master?”
“…”
“Is there a problem?”
“That…”
Kyle hesitated to answer.
I wonder what happened.
Since Kyle was behind me, I couldn’t tell.
“Your chest… and that front part, please do it yourself, Miss Sofia..”
“Ah.”
Our inexperienced young master still seemed uncomfortable touching a woman’s body.
If I were an ordinary man, in this situation, I would have immediately washed while touching the breasts.
“Hmm… well, I’ll do so this time. I suppose young master would prefer touching other women’s bodies than someone like me.”
Rather than this body with only breasts and buttocks sticking out and soft, he would probably prefer a body with less fat and appropriate muscles that looks pretty at a glance.
When breasts and buttocks are large, they make one look… dull.
It was a bit of a complex for me.
When I attended boarding school, perhaps because my secondary sexual characteristics came late, I had to change sizes every month, and those little kids teased me mercilessly about it.
Even for someone with memories from a past life, wounds were still wounds.
I was really sad then because I didn’t have any friends…
“Ah, young master. Please give me that gray thing over there.”
“Yes.”
Kyle handed me a product with a gray background and a picture on it.
There were times when I wouldn’t use it normally.
During that periodic time.
But today was a day I needed to use it.
“Uh.. what is that?”
“Female cleansing product.”
“….”
“After all, I couldn’t wash properly yesterday.”
Anyway, after I washed the remaining parts like my chest, buttocks, and stomach, the bath was over.
I wanted to rest in the tub, but that was postponed for next time.
“Whew…”
As I left the bathroom, the characteristic cool air welcomed me.
It felt a bit strange being supported by Kyle while naked.
Maybe because I was naked?
“Hmm… being naked like this makes me a bit embarrassed.”
Perhaps because of the embarrassment, my heart was pounding.
Most of the people who had seen me naked in my life were women.
At boarding school, because it was a dormitory, we had to live together so it couldn’t be helped, and when I worked as an adventurer, I often bathed in rivers with female party members.
When there was a mage, we always set up a wall around us to bathe.
“Young master, thank… you.”
“Don’t mention it… I’m grateful.”
“Pardon?”
I couldn’t hear properly because I was drying my hair.
The characteristic sound of rubbing my hair with a towel swallowed Kyle’s voice.
“It’s nothing.”
“Yes..”
I’m not sure what it was, but it probably wasn’t something important.
If it had been important, wouldn’t he have said it again?
“Hmm… young master, can you fasten my underwear?”
“….. Yes.”
“Thank you. I’m sorry my body isn’t in good condition.”
If my body had been alright, I could have fastened the hooks myself.
There were many inconvenient aspects in various ways.
Really.
*
“Young master, wouldn’t it be okay to remove the bandages from my arms?”
“No. Keep them on.”
“But, we took them off when washing…”
We took off the bandages when washing.
But now I have to keep them on during normal times.
It was truly sad news.
How uncomfortable it is to have bandages on your arms.
Kyle probably doesn’t know because he hasn’t experienced it.
“Haah… being like this feels like my whole body is tied up.. it’s not like I’m someone who enjoys being tied up…”
I had seen people with such preferences while working as an adventurer, but I was definitely not one of them.
I really hated the feeling of not being able to move when tied up.
I didn’t mind being embraced, but having my body tied up by something was not pleasant at all.
“Miss Sofia. Would you like me to bring you some books?”
“Really?”
When Elin came to my room again, I was just eating the apple she had peeled and left, and I was extremely bored.
In that situation, books?
It was the perfect thing.
I felt like I could read even a boring math book right now.
Of course, this is a lie.
“Please wait a moment.”
Kyle said that and rushed out.
He doesn’t need to be that enthusiastic, why is he so eager…
“Sigh..”
It must be because I’m injured.
If a family-like person suddenly got injured, one would naturally worry.
If Kyle had been injured because of me, I would surely have cried.
“Hmm..”
The room after Kyle left was extremely quiet.
Even when Kyle was there, it wasn’t very noisy, but…
It wasn’t this desolate.
All I could hear was the sound of my breathing and the rustling of the blanket.
I never had to be in this kind of atmosphere normally.
I always had Kyle or friends around me.
Except during break times.
Perhaps because of that, now that Kyle had temporarily disappeared, I felt a bit lonely.
Was I originally this weak?
“…”
I hope he comes back quickly.
Kyle.
