61. Listen to me
When I suddenly opened my eyes, I felt a languid and comfortable feeling unique to lunchtime.
Through the cracks in the slightly open windows, a faint smell of burnt water was wafting in, as if announcing the tragedy that had occurred last night.
I just turned my head and looked around, but there was no one in the inn room except for me, as if everyone had gone to have lunch.
“…?”

No. It looks like there might be one more.
Procrastination Procrastination. Wriggling wriggling.
“…Wow. What?”
Is it a caterpillar?
On the bed I was lying on, I caught my eye on something round and tightly attached to my side with the blanket tightly wrapped around me. I thought it was a bit cold for some reason, but since someone stole all the blankets, I wonder if it’s not cold and exhausting.
“Heh… Heh…”
Someone unidentified, who had taken all of my blankets and was asleep, occasionally let out a strange moan and flinched.
From noble mtl dot com
No, more than that.
Obviously this is the room where Royman and I sleep, and the women have reserved separate rooms at best. Why are you sleeping on my bed?
“…Hmm.”
First, wake up and see. I struggled to lift my arm, which was screaming from the aftermath of yesterday’s battle, and grabbed the blanket caterpillar and shook it.
“Hey. I don’t know who it is, but wake up soon. The sun has risen in the middle of the sky.”
“Uhhh… What, what…”
Soon, from within the cocoon of the blanket that hatched, a slouchy Luna crawled out, rubbing her eyes with her blue hair stretched out here and there.
“…Ah. It must have been Luna.”
Thinking about it, I remembered how I fell asleep while tearing and drying Luna and Argyle yesterday. I dried it for almost an hour, but at the end, I just gave up on drying it and jumped into bed. The current situation is difficult for me to explain.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem to break anything. Well, at the end of the day, we were tired of each other and started talking quietly with our eyes wide open.
I stiffly raised her calloused hand and began to wake her up, passing Luna’s frowning bangs over and over again as her eyes poked into her hair that had become sprung.
“Wake up quickly. What time is it now and are you still sleeping?”
Grabbing Luna’s shoulder and shaking it around, I glanced at her watch, and the hour hand was already approaching 1. Sleeping late seems to be a habit these days…
“Ugh… Joe, I’m sleepy…”
I slept in too, but I couldn’t sleep until dawn yesterday because of someone. I hope you will make the most of it as much as I do.
“Isn’t it hot? In early summer, if you wrapped up the futon like that, it would be hot during the day, if not at night.”
“Haah … Not much … Turn it off …! Eww?!”
Luna seems to be still in a drowsy state, her mouth yawning with a tear in her mouth and stretching her body until she groaned and her body collapsed.
Apparently, Luna also seemed to have accumulated a lot of fatigue in her body from yesterday’s battle.
“Aww…! Oh, my back…”
Luna kept trying to raise her body while making a strange noise. She finally gave up and collapsed onto my legs.
“No. sh*t, little.”
“Ugh… That’s too much, Austin… My back hurts so much…”
“If you say that in the current situation…”
If anyone hears it, they’ll think they had an intense love affair last night. I patted my cheek and swung around my aching shoulder.
My eyes naturally frowned at the sunlight coming through the window. I stretched out my groggy arm and gulped down a glass of water on the bedside table. The cold water ran down my neck pleasantly, and thanks to that, my head was a little clearer.
“Huh… now I’m going to live…”
Tick tock… Tick tock…
In the room, which became quiet again, only the regular sound of the clock hands and the sound of Luna’s muffled breathing reverberated quietly.
I gently stroked Luna’s fine hair as she lay on my leg and stared blankly at her.
Yesterday, how many things happened in that short period of time. It seemed that my head, which had been refreshed by drinking cold water, was getting dizzy again.
What about those gatekeepers yesterday? Of course, I hated the look so much that I wanted to kill him, but I really had no intention of killing him. Hearing Galan’s sorrowful complaints, I was swept away by emotion without even realizing it, and I killed him inadvertently.
I don’t know how to handle this. If I belonged to the Central Mage Tower, I would be in the capital, Mettelheim, but I’m leaving the hero party right now. Until there, I couldn’t use the dog Pungka, a member of the warrior’s party, yet. In the first place, I don’t know if it’s just a power struggle, but killing it is a different word.
Come to think of it, is the knight of the stars going to be safe? I must have said that a hero was coming here. What the hell is it that keeps chasing me?
“…Whenever you treat me badly like that.”
When I think of the warriors and thugs, a smirk came out of my mouth.
From noble mtl dot com
No. Come to think of it, Galan and Huntly were here. Argyle also said that she barely escaped after being defeated by the hero, so maybe she wasn’t chasing me.
So, you were on your way here to subdue Galran out of the blue? How do you know where it is? I’d rather think that I came all the way here after chasing Argyle… No, Argyle said he fell in the middle of the forest, not Harman. If you followed Argyle, Haruman would not come… Oh. Argyle joined us in the middle, right? Then, it wouldn’t make sense to say that Argyle was being chased…
“Ah. Siipal…”
I rubbed my eyelids and let out a sigh.
There was so much to do, my head was spinning.
“…Still, I don’t think we’ll ever run into each other.”
Even if the party of warriors is here right now, there will be very little chance of running into each other. Harman was so wide that it couldn’t even compare to Cologne, and it had a lot of floating population. In the first place, we planned to take a carriage and ride as soon as we got better after recuperating.
As I thought about this and that, the sight of Luna sleeping secretly on my leg made my stomach ache all over again.
I immediately tugged at Luna’s cheek.
“Ehh?! Ah…! Ah, it hurts…!”
“Can you sleep? Uh? Are you sleeping? Are you blind now?”
“Let’s go, kid…!”
“What do you mean? Don’t just spread out and go to sleep, get up and wash up.”
Letting go of the stretched cheeks, Luna, who was rubbing her reddened cheeks, grumbled and forcibly raised her body …
“Ugh…! As expected, no… My back hurts so much…!”
…It grew, and eventually flowed down my leg again. Well, yesterday when he speared Galan, he showed extremely acrobatic movements, but if he is in good shape, he is not human.
“Let’s wash up now and go get some food. The other kids seem to have already gone to eat.”
“Huh… After taking a little break…”
“No, I’m starting to get hungry.”
“Umm… Water… Some water…”
…The only thing left is the water I drank earlier. I can’t help it.
“Come on. Drink slowly.”
As I tipped the glass of half-drinked water, Luna lifted her upper body slightly and gulped down with her mouth slightly open, like a baby bird receiving her prey.
As the cold water entered, Luna seemed to have come to her senses as well.
“Gulp… Keuh… Is there more?”
“Uh… I already drank half of it. If you want more, you should come.”
“Then what can I do… Wait, what?”
Luna tried to understand what I was saying, but she suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at me.
“If you want to drink more, you have to bring water.”
“No, before that…”
“…Ah. This, I drank half of it…”
After hearing my words, Luna’s face turned red like a carrot, and she began to tremble with her head down.
“Why, why… Why did you just give me what you were drinking!”
“No, what a new thing…”
“Wait a minute… why am I sleeping with Austin…”
We used to ride together in a wagon, and the reaction was unusual.
“That’s what I want to ask. At most, women were given separate rooms, so why are they here…”
“All right, all right! Just forget about that!”
“Uh, yes.”
I’m not mad at Robin for not buying me something to eat, Luna turned her face around and she laid back on me, slicing my leg.
“By the way, let’s get up soon? I’m hungry.”
I urged her by gently shaking her shoulders, and Luna, her ears reddened, wiggled her fingers a little and shook her head excitedly.
“Just a little more like this…”
“Ahh, yes. Do what you like. I’ll go down first and eat something…”
“Wait a minute! As expected…!”
As I got myself out of bed, Luna jumped up and grabbed me by the waist and clung to me.
However, the sudden movement of her body was costly.
“Huh?! Huh, waist…!”
“Hey, hey…! For a moment! f*ck this…!”
Luna jumped up, grabbed her by the waist and collapsed to the floor. Just as it was holding the waist of my pants.
“Oh…”
Thanks to that, my pants flowed nicely down to her toes.
Luna saw that she was wearing my underwear, and her body stiffened as she was still holding on to her pants.
As if time had stopped, just as our bodies stiffened, we heard someone knocking on the door.
Smart-!
“Sir! A guest has arrived! Is it okay if I come in?”
Robin. No, sh*t. I can’t show Robin this.
“Uh, uh…! Wait a minute!”
I frantically grabbed my pants and pulled them up. Then, Luna, who was still holding on to her pants, came up.
“Hey! Let go of this!”
“Mo, I have no strength in my body… I can’t…”
“No, why are you holding on to your fingers when you say you don’t have enough strength!”
This crazy! No matter how hard she tried to get her fingers off, Luna’s fingers wouldn’t budge.
“Quaaa?!”
I used to struggle with muscle pain, but when I forced myself into it, I lost all my strength.
We collapsed with a crackling sound, and lay down on the floor as if Luna was on top of me.
“Seo, senior?! Are you okay?!”
Perhaps he heard my screams, I heard Robin knocking on the doorknob outside the door.
“Ji, I’ll open it now! Open?!”
My head started spinning rapidly. I took off my pants and put on my underwear. Luna, whose hair was tousled here and there, was riding on top of me.
f*ck…! I can’t take it out or beat it, this!
“No! No! Don’t open it yet! Do not open!!! Don’t open it!!!!!!”
Knock-!
Even God is indifferent. The visit had already been won by Robin’s hand.
“Sir, senpai… Sir…?”
Robin looked at Luna and me, covering his mouth with his hand and making a shocked expression.
Beside such a Robin, a wizard with a familiar conical hat and cat ears sticking out from the side of the hat was staring at us.
“…Austin?”
From noble mtl dot com
No, why the f*ck is he here…
The face of Maya, who looked at my face and turned bright for a moment, turned into eyes that looked like she was looking at a naked pervert on the street.
The eyes of Maya, who was looking at me with a cold expression, were narrowing just like when she attacked me.
“Now, what are you doing?”
“Oh, no. Wait for a sec.”
It’s f*cked up!
