129. The party of warriors I raised restrained me (6)
129. The party of warriors who raised me redeemed me (6)
I have both arms tied.
I opened Saten’s door and went in.
Bang-
“Saten, it seems you have finally woken up.”
“… Mister?”
Is it any wonder that I am alive?
Saten opened her eyes wide in surprise when she saw me.
I could see at a glance that I had lost a lot of weight.
“Mister, fortunately you are alive. Wait a minute, I’ll go there.”
Saying that, Saten tried to walk toward me.
However, Saten was not allowed to approach me.
“Don’t come, Saten.”
“Yes? Are you rejecting me?”
“No.”
He has another strange misunderstanding.
I pointed to the floor with my finger.
There, the glass bottle fragments that Saten broke were roaming around freely.
“If you walk barefoot, you will get hurt. I won’t go near you.”
“… Yes, please.”
I slowly approached Saten.
Pale skin.
Lean body.
Did they not eat while I was away, and immersed themselves in books and magic?
Apart from glass fragments, the room was quite messy.
It was a room that could not be said to be a neat saten.
“Your room is very messy.”
“… I’ll clean it right now. I’ve been too busy lately to pay attention to my surroundings. Sorry.”
“It is your space, so there is no need to be sorry. However, it is good to organize and live.”
“You are right. I’ll clean the glass first. Please wait for a moment.”
Saten stretched out her hand to the floor, raising her magical energy.
“Disassembly. Go back to nature.”
Sahah-
Cold magic spread like mist and wrapped around the glass fragments.
Let the magical powers sweep the floor once.
There appeared a clean floor without a speck of dust.
‘Did there be any progress in non-attribute magic while I was gone?’
Looking at the frown, it seems like an inefficient spell, but it seems like you finally got a feel for how to use it.
Should I give you 2 books of non-attribute magic as a gift?
I thought so and met her eyes with Saten.
“It seems that your magic has made some progress.”
“Yes, I have trouble concentrating, but this is all I have to do. More than that, mister.”
“What is it?”
Angel-
Saten asked, suddenly changing her mood.
“The rope that tied her arm. Maybe that’s what I’m thinking right?”
“… I don’t know what you’re thinking, but it probably isn’t.”
“Then, is it correct to regard it as my misunderstanding? I don’t think it’s a misunderstanding. If you look at the actions and past of those two people. There is a high probability that my suspicions are correct. Yes?”
“… “
Saten is suspicious of Luna and Hare.
She suspected that the beginning of the fight also hurt Luna and Hare to restrain and imprison me.
So, when she saw my rope, she seemed delusional.
“Luna and Hare. It’s true that the two planned a plan to kidnap you, right? The uncle’s delirium was due to Estiya’s holy water. It is clear that the uncle did not lose his body to the devil, but was killed by them. Yes?”
Kwaak-
Saten held on to the rope and pressed me, interrogating me.
‘Why did he become like this… ‘
Originally, Saten only confirmed the truth of the case, and she approached everything objectively.
She tried to find her best answer, excluding her emotions as much as possible.
However, the current saten was too biased to one side.
It wasn’t like this originally, but when it started to change…
‘After you have feelings. Have I been swayed by emotions since then?’
Emotions that blur the truth.
If subjective emotions intervene in an incident, the essence and truth of the incident is obscured.
Saten seemed to be swayed by the emotions that suddenly arose.
Anyway, it seemed necessary to correct Saten’s irrational behavior.
“Saten. Sit on the bed.”
“I sat down.”
“First of all, Saten, do you think I haven’t been attacked by the Demon King?”
“Yes, there is absolutely no reason for you to lose your body to the demon king. He has strong mental strength, and he wouldn’t think of handing over that dangerous body to the demon lord.”
I know you very well.
Saying that, Saten gave her own opinion.
However.
“You don’t know me very well.”
“Yes… ?”
Because you have too many useless ears.
I checked the presence of the three people at the door and spoke to Saten with my voice as low as possible.
“It is true that I suffered from the devil.”
“That can’t be-“
“If you were attacked as part of it, the story would be different. I lent my body to the demon king to annihilate him.”
I used this rope in the process.
He also suffered a wound on his chest.
Saten listened carefully to her words and replied.
“This is a plan that is too hasty and has no countermeasures to be an old man. A different meaning is hidden… Is my guess correct, mister?”
As expected, he is quick-witted.
The reason my body was stolen was to maximize the growth of the warrior party.
Saten realized that my risky actions had other meanings.
She seemed to have a hard time fooling her.
Anyway.
“Only you know that story. Also, don’t talk to Luna and Hare.”
“What about Estiya?”
“It doesn’t matter because you won’t understand the meaning even if I say it.”
“Okay.”
Saten nodded her head in agreement.
However, it seemed that the misunderstanding had not been resolved yet.
“Then, Luna and Hare have been tying up the uncle until now… Is the reason to imprison you?”
“… “
That’s not a misunderstanding.
It is right for Luna, Hare, and Estiya to restrain and imprison me.
It’s not the feeling Saten thinks.
“They are right to imprison me. Not to get my hands on, not to kill me. He wants me to rest, so he is not letting go of the rope.”
“… Although the situation is unbelievable. I will believe what you say. I understand that you two didn’t mean to.”
Saten is surprisingly clear.
Then she said something she wouldn’t have said before.
“I must apologize because I misunderstood and caused a needless fight.”
“… You’ve been thinking a lot.”
“Yes, while you are away… I deeply reflected on my mistakes. Sorry for trying to erase your memory, mister.”
Nodding off-
Saten bent her back, which always stretched her straight.
This is the first time I’ve seen Saten apologize like this.
A look of sincere and deep reflection.
It was a moment when I was proud of everything.
“Yeah, I’m completely relieved, so it’s really okay. You apologized well, Saten.”
“Thank you for accepting my apology. Well, now I have to tidy up my room and I’m running out of time, so I’ll go apologize to the two of you first. Where are you two-“
Saten’s words could not be finished.
Two people who wanted an apology came out from behind the door.
“Here we are! Apologize right away!”
“S-I apologize, Saten. I apologize for thinking wrong… !”
“Yes, I will.”
Saten bowed her head ‘lightly’ towards the two of them.
It wasn’t an apology that bowed her back, but compared to the satin of her past, she was rather angelic.
To Saten’s apology, Luna pretended to be indifferent and replied.
“Yes! The warrior will accept your apology with great generosity! Come on, accept the handshake of reconciliation!”
“… I see.”
Has he really changed?
Saten held her hand lightly as her Luna stretched out to her.
That moment.
“Ah, Ouch-!! Hey! Fingernail! This, profit! Let go of this! Mister! Saten is harassing me!”
“It can’t be. How can I press these muscular hands when I have only bones in my body? It’s Luna’s mother, mister.”
I wonder if she’s right.
I don’t think so.
Saten gave off a faint smile and shook Saten’s hand with her.
It wasn’t an expression of fun, but more of an annoyance.
I felt like I had figured out Saten, who had changed a bit.
‘I’m not good at controlling my emotions… ‘
Are you in the process of realizing how to ‘express’ your emotions?
Saten is expressing his anger by shaking hands with Luna.
As long as you don’t get emotional and fall into strange thoughts like before.
I wondered if Saten’s future would be okay.
‘What did you say about that condition… ‘
Anger control disorder.
Perhaps Saten is in that state.

She thought that later she would tell me how to adjust it.
I asked Saten who finished her apology to Hare.
“Now that the apology is over, the cleaning is over. Now, what do you think about loosening my rope, Saten?”
“At first I didn’t think the rope was a good idea. However, if I can give you a break in that way, I think it’s good.”
“… I see.”
“Okay, go to your room and get some rest, mister. I’ll visit the uncle later. Everyone, please leave now.”
Because I need to clean it up.
Bang-!
Saten resolutely kicked us out.
He must have been embarrassed to show the messy room.
‘Estiya, this guy is still lying down.’
Does it still have an hour left until the time to wake up?
I passed Estiya lying in the hallway and headed to the restaurant.
“Then, tonight I will-“
“No!”
“Oh no… !”
“Mister, go back to your room and get some rest! We will cook!”
Of course.
I couldn’t reach the restaurant due to the interference of the warrior’s party.
Since then, a lot of time has passed and after a poor meal.
The words of Saten, who said he would come to me…
Smart-
“Are you awake, mister?”
It was done very late in the morning when all the children were asleep.
I don’t know why you came to see me at such a late hour.
I answered towards Saten, who was waiting at the door.
“It’s cold in the hallway, so come in quickly.”
