63 – Grant me a wish – 1
“Haaa! Mikhail, it’s too fast. Just a little bit slower… !”
“Just a little more!”
Hestia’s rough breathing hit my ears. She clutched her chest and let out a gasping breath.
“It’s really over! Last!”
“Huh, ha, I’m going to die like this!”
She continued to moan hysterically. I worked hard to make sure she got to her end.
“End with this!”
Hestia reached her original goal with a shriek. She staggered like a newborn calf, as if her legs were untied.
She said in a hazy voice, wet with afterglow.
“Hey, it’s really too much.”
“Aren’t you in a good mood though?”
“Well, a little bit.”
Hestia was better than expected, but her expression wasn’t too bad.
“At first it hurt a little. The more you get used to it, the better you feel.”
“Just now, huh, it wasn’t that bad.”
Hestia patted her chest and caught her breath.
“What are you two doing?”
Cordelia, who was watching Hestia’s conversation with me with a puzzled look, asked.
“What is it, you exercise?”
“No, exercising is exercising….”
What. If you thought this was weird, it means your brain is rotten. Cordelia was embarrassed to speak at my imposing attitude, but she hesitated, unable to open her mouth.
“Have you had any strange thoughts?”
“I didn’t! What is it in the first place, you asked me to help you, and it’s just the two of us.”
Cordelia pouted and grumbled.
“We never asked for help.”
I have to say it right. When we asked for help. To be precise, Cordelia, who had heard that Hestia and I were going to exercise in the morning, stepped forward to help. On the contrary, Hestia was rather unwilling.
“You’re here to help anyway! What should I do?”
“Cordelia should think about that. We never asked for help in the first place.”
No, if you said you would help people who didn’t need it, you should have thought about how you would help them.
“Is that so? Wait a minute.”
Cordelia began to ponder alone whether she must have come from her body, without thinking about it.
I approached Hestia, leaving Cordelia in her distress. She still couldn’t hold herself properly. She wiped the sweat with her handkerchief from the side.
“Good job.”
Hestia, who was idly accepting my touch, was startled and pulled her body away from me.
“Doesn’t I stink?”
Even though it was quite chilly in the morning, Hestia was sweating profusely, perhaps because her heart was racing. She kept creeping away from me, worried about her own smell.
But it didn’t smell at all. And to be honest, I like it the way it smells like sweat. I approached her with her stride.
“Not me. But I sweat a lot, so I have to wash once. I will catch a cold.”
Because it is the change of season, it is time to be careful not to catch a cold. I took off her coat and put it over her shoulders. It’s embarrassing to sweat and stay still in this weather, but it’s easy to catch a cold.
“But let’s do one last stretch before we go.”
“Ugh.”
Hestia, with her face all over her face expressing her disapproval, began her stretch with a strange noise as if she were showing off her stiffness.
First she bent down on her back and tried to touch the ground with her fingertips. Last time I didn’t say it was just a test, but this time it’s a stretch, so it’s okay if I help out a little, right? I gently put her hand on her waist.
“What, what are you doing!”
“I want some help.”
Without hesitation, I lightly pressed the hand I placed on my waist with strength.
“Quaaang!”
The response was immediate. A terrible scream escaped Hestia’s mouth. I’m sorry, Hestia. But I want you to know that this is all for you.
After I counted from 1 to 10, I removed her hand from her waist. As soon as I let go of my hand, her waist sprang up like a spring.
“Mikhail!”
She put her hand on her waist and glared at me. But, I felt like it would take too long if I didn’t do this. Originally, someone said that exercise is hard and painful. And I didn’t, well, tear her leg, I just squeezed her around her waist.
“Uh huh, be patient. Did you think wishes could come so easily?”
Still, I can’t leave you angry like this. I lulled her a bit with her bait of her wish.
“… Really. I’m looking forward.”
It’s a bit scary to say that. I don’t know what the heck he wanted to do, and he became so calm when he said something like a cheat key. I sneakily asked Hestia.
“Hestia, what do you want to do with that wish?”
“It’s a secret. It’s no fun if you just tell me.”
She winked slightly. I shuddered with goosebumps for no reason. It won’t be. I believe in Hestia’s common sense.
“Wish? What are you talking about?”
Cordelia, who had approached me before I knew it, asked.
“Have you decided how to help?”
“Yes. I just saw that Hestia was stretching. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could help?”
Oh. I was surprised to come up with a better idea than I thought. It’s just that I gently press her waist. I don’t mind doing it, but I thought it would be nice to have Cordelia hold her hand and make her do a couple stretch.
I can do that if I want to, but it’s a bit embarrassing to sit facing each other with your legs wide apart.
“How is it?”
“Looks good.”
“Before!”
Wow, what a surprise. Hestia, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, suddenly screamed. My head and Cordelia’s heads turned at the same time.
“I’m fine. Even if Mikhail does it….”
Hestia suddenly lowered her volume, as if she was surprised that she had suddenly made such a loud noise.
Cordelia asked Hestia, rarely even using her nickname. The title she called was sweet, but the energy wasn’t sweet at all.
“Tia, do you hate me?”
“No. It’s not that I don’t like it, but considering that Cordelia usually works out, it’s a bit of a waste to spend time with me.”
“It’s okay. I’m not doing anything special, just running. It’s far more important to help Hestia exercise. When I asked to work out together like that before, he said he would never do it.”
On the outside, they both smiled, but I saw Hestia’s eyebrows twitch. Cordelia, too, was trembling at the corners of her mouth.
What on earth made these two good friends like this? I? What did i do wrong
“Then, shall we do it in a way that helps both of us?”
I tried to intervene by intervening. Cordelia didn’t say anything more to see if she was satisfied with my proposal, but Hestia stared at me as if she was dissatisfied with something.
Still, there’s nothing special. I grabbed Hestia’s hand. Let’s just do this. You know that you don’t need it anyway, and that you’re not the kind of person to go back just because they send you back to work out.
“Okay.”
As if my telepathy worked, Hestia agreed rather reluctantly. Cordelia clapped her hands and liked it.
Cordelia, who had been smiling for a while, brought up the story of her earlier wish again.
“So what is your wish?”
“Oh, I just said I would grant your wish if you worked out with me.”
Cordelia’s eyes suddenly lit up at her answer.
“Really?”
“Why am I lying about this?”
“Hmm.”
She let out her strange snort and ran her eyes over Hestia. Hestia covered her body as if she felt the gaze.
“Why?”
“No, just. No matter how much my friend said, she didn’t pretend to listen, and Mikhail granted her wish, so she just came out to exercise. She didn’t think the same thing.”
Hestia trembled at her, but unfortunately, she knew the truth, so she couldn’t refute it. Cordelia thrust her face into me.
“Me too, grant me a wish.”
I pressed her forehead hard to prevent further entry.
“Why should I?”
“Why only Hestia grants wishes!”
No, why is he like this? I was dumbfounded by her confident attitude in reverse.
“On the contrary, why do I grant Cordelia’s wish? Hestia is my fiancé, and I forced her to exercise too. Then there should be a reward for that.”

My words made Cordelia dumb from eating honey. You have to sound sensible. And even if I had exercised with Cordelia instead of Hestia, I would not have given her the right to wish. I honestly can’t believe it. You don’t know what you’re going to do
“I, I help Hestia!”
“I don’t need it!”
As Cordelia tripped over herself, Hestia, who had been quietly listening to her conversation behind her, intervened. Cordelia, once again speechless at Hestia’s words, brought out her last resort.
“I don’t know, I don’t know! Anyway, grant me your wish.”
“No, it’s not a child, what is this?”
As the horse-sized girl began to use herd recklessly, she had no way to deal with it. Hestia and I tried to calm her down somehow, but she didn’t work.
I decided to try talking first.
“What kind of wish do you want to make of me?”
“Are you listening?”
“Depending on the content.”
“Mikhail!”
Cordelia grinned at my answer. The winner’s smile. In the end you got hit again Conversely, Hestia screamed loudly.
No, what the hell is my right to wish? It’s okay to say it’s a wish ticket, it’s just granting a request. I’m not someone who doesn’t usually listen to what I ask for, and I never thought I’d show such a radical reaction.
I held her Hestia’s hand tightly and comforted her.
“Let’s listen. Huh? You can’t make Cordelia do anything she can’t do.”
“Ugh. Then let me hear one more.”
“I’ll listen to that and decide.”
Hestia reluctantly nodded her head this time as well. It’s funny that she actually grants me one more wish. It’s not like I won’t listen to Hestia in the first place.
Waiting for the conversation between Hestia and me to end, Cordelia grinned.
“Are you finished?”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
“Let’s go practice swordsmanship with me this weekend.”
You look better than you thought? I admired her wish, which was more informative than I thought, unreasonable, and common sense.
