Chapter 91 – Putting her to sleep……
“Let me sleep…” ? Literally?”
＜”Yes, isn’t it common sense to quietly let someone sleep on a date?”＞
“What country is this common sense?” . “Is that something you read in some kind of romance novel or something?”
One day, I remembered Anastasia saying that she had mastered romance novels or something, so I asked that question.
Sure enough, when romance novels were mentioned, Anastasia’s voice became so lively that it hurt my ears.
＜”Of course! Do you know? Masterpiece writer ‘Keluk Keluk’s masterpiece ‘The Sensuality of Roses’! A famous devilish duke mercilessly assaults a defenseless princess…… …..”＞
I couldn’t understand the rapid-fire words pouring out for a moment.
＜”Keuhum! Sorry. I was excited, unlike me. Anyway… Anyway, it’s not a joke. I’m not saying that you should forcefully ruin the date. “As long as you make up for today, didn’t you think it would be okay to give up the next holiday to that blood relative girl, Master?”＞
It wasn’t wrong.
The reason I carried out such a ridiculous plan by asking Anastasia today may have been due to the lack of time or lack of communication, but the biggest factor was that I did not want to disappoint them.
“… Way?”
＜”Let’s make date plans. Let’s move away from the city center. Invite them to talk in a quiet place. “Maybe they’ll like it because they’re tired too.”＞
I quickly completed the sentence in my head and opened my mouth.
“Undine.”
“……… ….”
“Undine… ?”
“Yes… ? Yes?! Ah! Yes yes!!”
“Why don’t we go to a quiet place together? “We can go to places like restaurants on a regular basis, so let’s grab something like a packed lunch and eat while talking.”
As if it wasn’t such a bad offer, Undine responded with a bright smile, with a sleepy look on her face.
By the time we finished those simple preparations, the day had dawned and it was slowly starting to reach noon. The sun was nearing midday, and Undine’s biological clock seemed to be ticking toward midnight. The way he keeps slapping his cheeks and widening his eyes is like a child who was so excited the day before going on a picnic that he couldn’t sleep at all…… It’s not the same thing, it’s just that.
Anyway, we took the streetcar to a nearby quiet village.
After buying a packed lunch and drinks, which are said to be popular due to their unique decoration, we take a leisurely stroll along the river. The area upstream where there are no traces of the village is sparsely populated.
We laid out a suitable cloth in a sunny spot and took a breath while eating our packed lunch and chatting about various things.
I laid down and stretched. When she made a gesture with her hand, Undine smiled brightly and came over to lie down next to her. She wanted to ask if she was too close, but seeing Undine’s mouth glued to her ear made it difficult for her to even say such a thing.
Anyway, I’m fine. Fluttering.
I should keep my mouth shut.
“It’s comfortable and nice. The weather is good too…. “It’s nice that the academy is bustling, but on the other hand, there’s not enough time to spend leisurely and alone.”
“Don’t you spend a lot of time alone? “You also have to use a single room in the lab.”
Undine, who asked her questions, took her fear away.
“Ho, ho ho ho, maybe…” So far, the visits that Cecilia and I have made have been a nuisance……. The reason you say something like that is… “
“…… hahahaha, no way.”
“Then what is it?! Is there another girl I don’t know about? “Was it just my imagination that I would be alone?”
Suddenly, she hit the head of the running Undine lightly and calmed her down.
“Because it was natural to be alone in the snowy fields. “Even though I didn’t miss it, I really didn’t think about anything at the time.”
“…………….”
“If it weren’t for you, I probably would have stayed there.”
“…………….”
“Thank you, Undine.”
Strangely, there is no answer. She was the same after that, although she remained a little silent.
… Why?
Did the story suddenly feel unfamiliar?
But it didn’t take long for her to realize that she wasn’t like that.
＜”It’s not just that I didn’t show up early for my appointment, it looks like I couldn’t sleep at all.”＞
She turned her head to see if her shoulders were getting heavy, and before she knew it, Undine, who had fallen asleep oblivious to the world, was breathing steadily and quietly.
She didn’t do anything special, but seeing her sleeping like this made me feel a little sorry for her.
“Undine. “Just rest a little.”
Seoseni… Juinimu… Undine cooed, holding her hand tightly. She’s even looking for me to talk in her sleep, so I’m starting to get worried. She loosened her fingers one by one and was about to sneak away from her when Undine suddenly touched me. “…… Eugene.” And a short word flows out.
“……… ….”
＜”It’s time to move, Master.”＞
“……… ….”

＜”Master?”＞
“…… No, nothing. Good. “What’s the situation there?”
＜”Now I think the time is right to go to the meeting place where Cecilia will be. Because she went too far”＞
“Then I should go towards Freya. As I said in advance, if the distance increases, communication will be cut off. In an emergency situation, lightly inject magical power into the transmitter and receiver. Then a signal will be sent to me. Then I will change consciousness with you.”
＜”I know. “Then, shall we begin?”＞
“Wait a minute, complete the barrier that will protect Undine. “Almost done.”
＜”… It’s good to hit a barrier… “How many barriers are you designing from earlier?”＞
“You’re sleeping defenseless by the riverside, aren’t you? “What if I happen to catch the eye of some strange people passing by?”
＜”Does the possibility of ‘a strange guy passing by by chance’ include a large monster?”＞
“We can’t rule out that possibility.”
＜”You’re overprotective.”＞
Then Anastasia muttered in a voice so low that I couldn’t hear. I may be talking to myself, but unfortunately I have good ears.
“Are you jealous?”
＜”… I still haven’t gotten over my needless hearing. He said he was jealous that there was someone who could protect him, no matter who it was. “You don’t have to worry about it.”＞
…… I wasn’t sure, but one thing was certain.
I’ve felt this since early yesterday, but the way he speaks definitely seems odd.
It was only for a moment, but I guess I was mistaken in thinking that people had changed after not seeing each other for a few years.
Yes, that’s right. The princess Anastasia in my memories was originally like this.
.
***
This is the beginning.
After gathering myself, I sighed and diligently went back the way I came. Even though we went to a quiet village, we had clearly calculated the route.
“Ah, Eugene. You came early? hehehe….”
“Ah, Freya. You really came early… ?”
“No. “I was bored so I just came out first.”
Why does everyone around me show up 30 minutes before their appointment? Next time, I guess I’ll have to take 30 more minutes into account and make an appointment.
“Okay, shall we go right away?”
Freya headed straight to the restaurant without hesitation.
My promise with Freyja is dinner. Compared to shopping with Cecilia, the act itself is simple and clear.
The problem was that it was clear that there would be a lot of conversation, so she couldn’t bring herself to send Anastasia this way.
It was never because I wanted to try something delicious.
‘No…’ She’s a princess. You probably always ate steak sprinkled with gold dust, right? ‘Let’s yield to our teacher today, princess.’
As she entered the quaint restaurant, an expensive smell assaulted her nose. The moment we entered, the eyes of all the customers and restaurant staff turned to us, and to be more precise, to Freya.
There is silence as if all sound has been cut off. When they first meet Freyja’s face, they have an expression close to awe, as if their soul has gone out, but as soon as their gaze touches me, it transforms into aggression mixed with shock and anger.
Okay, okay. I’m used to this much. Please come as many times as you like.
You can kill someone with your gaze, but it is still bearable.
But Freya was not conscious of that atmosphere at all. Same thing today. She leisurely called her waiter and asked him to guide her to her seat.
“Today, I live as promised, so eat as much as you want. “You left the boat empty, right?”
“…… Of course. “I didn’t even eat lunch.”
For your information, lunch was after a delicious meal with Undine.
I answered shamelessly and continued speaking politely.
“Your clothes are pretty today…” “It suits you well.”
Perhaps because of her past life, she had never liked the expression that she was pretty, so she blurted out the ending in a hurry. But it seems my worries were unfounded.
Freya widened her eyes and smiled, albeit awkwardly.
“… Uh? Really? Are you okay?”
“Why do I lie?”
What… No matter what you wear, everything will fly…
Perhaps she wanted to hide her belated embarrassment, she changed the subject in a strangely excited tone and pointed to my ear.
“But what is that in your ear today? Fun.”
“Ears…… ? ………… Ah, this is Songsu… “No, I’ve been having trouble hearing lately, so I went to see Professor Aegis for a checkup, and he told me to wear this for a while.”
“Hearing aid?”
“Is that something called a hearing aid? Anyway.”
“That’s right… ? But why? What does Professor Aegis say? They say it’s not very good? Where? How exactly? Can you fix it? Take some medicine. “Did you get the prescription?”
Questions are pouring in like a flood.
“Eugene? What’s the matter?”
“… Uh? No, that’s not it… “
I couldn’t easily continue speaking.
A mechanical sound begins to sound rapidly in my ears.
That was the tone I had promised in advance with Anastasia.
…… Alert?
I quickly got up from my seat. Freya looked at him quizzically, but there were more urgent matters at the moment.
“Wait a minute, go to the bathroom…” .”
“Huh…? Ah! Yes! Come back!”
“I’ll be right back.”
……
………
…………
No,
Ha,
Where on earth is this guy, what on earth is he doing to set off the alarm already?!!?!
