Chapter Index

    Soft sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the window and began to tickle my eyes.

    “Ugh… .”

    Who the hell is disturbing my sleep… .

    After raising your arms and covering your eyes.

    To avoid the dirty sunlight that was disturbing my blissful sleep, I started rolling around on the bed with a loud bounce on my back.

    Did it roll like that three times?

    -width

    Finally, beyond the reach of the wicked sunlight,

    I found the perfect place, and the corners of my mouth started to turn up in satisfaction.

    … there.

    “Hehehe… .”

    As I rolled hard to get here, a pleasant pressure suddenly enveloped my whole body.

    A completely different feel from the strange feeling I felt under the blanket before falling asleep.

    I wonder if the blankets have been changed in the meantime.

    I tried to feel it with my hand to figure out what it was, and for some reason it felt solid.

    …was this on the bed?

    A small doubt occurred to him, but he soon put it aside.

    Hmm, I guess I mistook it for sleep.

    I nodded my head alone, convinced myself, and kept rubbing my cheek against something that was wrapped around my body.

    Now it’s time to get some sleep again.

    It would have been… .

    If only there hadn’t been a small noise in the otherwise quiet room.

    “Ugh… .”

    I frowned at the sound in my ears and the faint twitching of the blanket.

    Why is the blanket moving on its own?

    I hugged the blanket tightly to stop it from moving, and only then did it stop moving.

    He was writhing around with one leg raised, as if wrapped in a blanket.

    -Knock, knock, knock

    I heard someone knocking on the door.

    …Why are there so many people who disturb my sleep?

    He frowned and opened his mouth in a mumbled voice.

    “Moore- Huuum… Nyaa.”

    “… Harang? If you wake up, I can come in?”

    Hmm, judging by the voice, is the noise really Elia?

    “Tsk.”

    If it’s Elia, it’s hard for me to even shout.

    We’re not that close, and to begin with, aside from the nameless people around me, there’s no one I can honestly express my feelings to.

    Of course, that damn kid is out of the question.

    Whenever I talk to that guy, I feel strangely excited.

    …anyway.

    It seems that Elia came to this room, regardless of my desire to rest.

    I guess it’s time to get moving.

    “…”

    “Harang? Why didn’t you answer?”

    But my body didn’t follow him, and instead made me bury my head deeper into the blanket.

    Why isn’t there something like that?

    You know in your head what you need to do, but your body won’t follow.

    Hasn’t everyone had that experience at least once?

    … I don’t think I’m the only one who’s had that experience.

    and.

    If I’m going to stay stuck in this room anyway…

    Given Elia’s personality, she would definitely open the door and try to wake me up.

    I have absolutely no will to move my body right now, so maybe that’s better.

    I let out a small sigh.

    Then the blanket covering me shivered again.

    I just tilted my head slightly, not really paying attention.

    Above all else.

    Right now I don’t even want to open my eyes.

    I really don’t want to do anything.

    … leave me alone.

    He let out a deep sigh and rubbed his cheek against the blanket.

    I’ve been rolling around like that for a while.

    -Suddenly

    I heard the door opening.

    “Gyaaaahh …

    This was followed by Elia’s loud screams.

    I was startled, raised my upper body, and squeezed my eyes shut.

    I looked at Elia with weary, half-asleep eyes.

    “What, what’s going on?!”

    “Ugh! What’s going on?”

    “No, ugh, Harang! Clothes! Clothes! And I, I, I… .”

    “Oh, clothes?”

    At Elia’s words, I hurriedly lowered my head and felt around my body.

    When did you take it off again?

    The bandages are off, his clothes are half-naked, and his shoulders are exposed.

    and.

    Slightly, I turned my head in the direction where the voice came from.

    Has Anumyeong just woken up from his slumber?

    Just like me, he kept his eyes wide open and was busy trying to figure out the situation.

    Anonymous turned his head slightly and our eyes met.

    Both eyes opened wider than I had ever seen before.

    “… Master? What is this situation?”

    “Even if you ask me that… .”

    “No! Mr. Harang and Mr. Anonymous, what are you doing in the morning?! No, from the night… and then clean up… ?”

    Ignoring Elia’s words, which I couldn’t understand, I looked at the nameless man who had asked me the question.

    Hmm, but why are his clothes like this?

    I tilted my head slightly, thinking about it.

    It felt like I was half naked as I dragged myself onto the bed.

    Hmm… it must be cold.

    He reached out and straightened the nameless man’s clothes.

    “Wasn’t it cold last night?”

    “Huh? No, what is that, no, huh?”

    Nameless, whose face was bright red, looked at me with his eyes spinning around.

    The fact that he doesn’t reject my hands that are putting clothes on him shows that he doesn’t hate it that much.

    More than that… .

    Looking at the nameless blushing face, one fruit came to mind.

    Hmm, I suddenly want to eat strawberries.

    I need to go to the market in Ellen today to restock on the strawberries that are all gone.

    I nodded my head.

    After tidying up the nameless clothes like that, I glanced at the nameless one.

    Anonymous couldn’t look at me straight in the eye.

    The reason quickly came to mind.

    Maybe it’s because I’m half naked.

    Still, I was very impressed with the way he was being considerate of me, a man with a female body, and I patted his head.

    Elia, seeing that sight, covered her face with her hands.

    He was making a somewhat comical scene, spreading his fingers to create a gap and peeking out through the gap.

    … I wondered if there was any point in going that way, but I turned my head away because it wasn’t something I cared about.

    “That… I’m going to have an important conversation soon, so get ready quickly and come to the reception room!”

    With those words, Elia closed the door with a bang, but soon it opened again with a squeak.

    After a while, he put his head through the slightly open gap and opened his mouth again.

    “And… No matter how much of a…relationship it is, I don’t think it’s right to do that so often… .”

    “… What the hell are you talking about-”

    “Then I’ll go?!”

    Elia said that without even listening to me.

    He slammed the door shut roughly and quickly left the room with a thud.

    I stared at it blankly and shook my head slightly.

    “Tsk, that’s why you’re so messy, isn’t that right, anonymous?”

    “… I don’t know anymore.”

    “Huh?”

    The anonymous man lowered his head and took a deep breath.

    Hmm, why is it like this?

    In the first place, I just can’t understand why Elia reacts that way.

    Isn’t it common sense for a teacher and student to sleep together?

    Hmm, right.

    I nodded my head.

    After a light grooming, I arrived at the reception room.

    There, Lucius and Ironblood face each other with a strange tension flowing between them.

    “…”

    I feel like the air is heavy for no reason.

    He slightly blamed himself for not being late, slowly moved his feet, and sat down on a random chair he saw nearby.

    I pricked my ears and began to listen in on Lucius and Ironblood’s conversation.

    Lucius opened his mouth, frowning.

    “Camilla, why can’t you help me?”

    “What? How stupid is this year’s hero?”

    Iron Blood, Camilla frowned, then raised the corners of her mouth with her signature smile.

    “Don’t you remember what you just said? Phew, maybe a goldfish?”

    Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Lucius stood up and kicked the desk.

    “Now! … Don’t you know this isn’t the time to be kidding?”

    “Uww- Don’t yell in a dirty voice, it’s unpleasant.”

    Camilla stuck her tongue out once, then shrugged and opened her mouth.

    “Unlike you, who’s so sloppy, I’m a person who has a lot to do?”

    “…”

    “Ha- How easy is it to explain this? I mean, we’re short on people too.”

    Tsk, that’s why they’re so sloppy. Camilla added quietly, as if muttering.

    After hearing that, Lucius sat down without opening his mouth any more, with a very dissatisfied expression on his face.

    As someone who doesn’t know what the topic of conversation is, I’m just embarrassed.

    It’s not been a long time since I’ve seen this guy named Lucius… .

    I’ve never seen anyone express their discontent so openly.

    Hmm, what could it be… .

    Feeling a little curious, I poked Elia in the ribs, who had a helpless expression on her face.

    “Huh?!”

    “Elia.”

    “Harang…? What, what is it…? Why are you touching my side… .”

    Elia opened her mouth, her cheeks reddening, and she stroked her side.

    “Can you tell me what’s going on?”

    “Ah… That’s actually.”

    Elia continued her explanation.

    …therefore.

    We know for sure that a demon has invaded this place, near Ellen.

    Since he couldn’t pinpoint the exact location, Lucius asked Camilla to send out some people to help him quickly locate and capture it.

    However, Camilla declined the request, saying she was also busy.

    It is said that upon hearing that, Lucius started to lose his temper and the argument escalated into this.

    After hearing that, I lowered my head slightly and continued my thoughts.

    … If I do this well, I can blow my nose without using my hands?

    Well, I’m in a position where I can help them if they don’t find that demon.

    It’s unexpected luck.

    There is no need to not use this.

    As it happens, I also have an idea that naturally kills time.

    One corner of his mouth was raised crookedly.

    As soon as Elia finished speaking, I stood up and walked towards Camilla and Lucius.

    “What is it… Granny, is there something you want to do?”

    “Um, I have a favor to ask.”

    Camilla’s brow furrowed.

    “I told you earlier that I was busy, but is grandma a goldfish too?”

    “… I don’t want to ask you anything related to that.”

    Camilla tilted her head and opened her mouth.

    “Then what is it?”

    “Could you please lend me the training ground here?”

    “What? Why me?”

    Camilla looked at me with a disgusted expression.

    Hmm, this isn’t it.

    Wouldn’t it be possible to grant a request of this level right away?

    … I can’t do it.

    He approached Camilla’s ear, spoke softly so that no one around him could hear, and then opened his mouth.

    “How about I defeat that annoying warrior for you?”

    “… What?”

    “Now I see that the goldfish is you, not me.”

    Sigh- He smiled and moved away from Camilla’s ear, gathering his strength.

    Camilla tilted her head, one corner of her mouth raised in a quirk.

    The sharp teeth stood out.

    “… Well, I’m a generous person! I could probably grant that kind of request.”

    Okay.

    Now I can really take my time.

    Satisfaction welled up in me, and I raised the corners of my lips without even trying to hide it.

    Hmm, it’s me after all.
