73 – If you hit your tail, you’ll get scolded
“So, I heard you gave a rough explanation about Master.”
“Is that so?”
While asking how many times he was going to say it, White let out a shallow saliva as he let out an ashera that inflated his cheeks.
Instantly, the gaze shifted to the orca, which was moved a little further away.
Perhaps due to Ashera’s pressure, it was half-forcedly shrunken.
White thought that she felt a little sorry for her.
“…… Orca, are you okay?”
“Ugh…… ?”
Hearing White’s voice calling out to him with a clearing of his cough, Orca lifted her head subtly.
It looked very gloomy with half-dead eyes.
As a result, White naturally casts a wavering gaze toward Ashera.
“Ummm, ahahahaha… ….”
Perhaps feeling embarrassed by White’s gaze, Ashera flinched and scratched her cheek.
“Did the sequencing go too far?”
“I don’t think it’s a bit excessive, but… ….”
Perfect!
At White’s tackle, Ashera swung her wand once.
“Ah.”
“Don’t talk back.”
Leaving behind White, who drooped the corners of her eyes as if she was unhappy, Ashera took her steps toward Orca.
Orca flinched at her and tried to put her body behind her, but Ashera didn’t care.
Just with her fresh smile on her lips, she approached the orca with her sprinting steps.
“The Orca Lady.”
“…… Yes yes?”
Ashera’s low call.
Orca responded as politely as possible, shaking her body.
She used to speak her short hair even to her own father, the Marquis of Bampir, but for some reason, she seemed to be polite with her extension towards Ashera.
Perhaps it was a half-instinctive fear, though White thought carefully.
“What were you thinking?”
“…… It’s nothing.”
How the hell did he notice, Ashera’s cold gaze immediately flew in, and White had no choice but to avoid her gaze.
“Hmm.”
Leaning at White with a meaningful glance, Ashera turned her head toward Orca again.
The unwavering golden gaze and the trembling red gaze met.
“… ….”
Gulp!
An orca that unknowingly swallows dry saliva.
She was momentarily taken aback, but she tried hard not to show it, and she faced Ashera with difficulty.
“Would you like to talk to me separately for a minute?”
And that was the first thing Ashera said to Orca.
“…… Yes?”
She didn’t even think to hide her embarrassment, and she hardened her expression in an instant.
Orca grimaced and cast her saving glance at White.
…… Threw
“…… Um, hmm.”
White, who was receiving such attention, refused to be saved by slightly turning her head.
It could be said that Orca’s expression turned into despair in an instant.
‘I’m sorry, Orca.’
Sputtering out words of apology inwardly, White tried to nod his head heavily.
What can I do?
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, but he himself couldn’t stand up to his master.
Staying bystanders was the best move.
“…… Hey, White!”
“Hmm, hmm.”
Trying to ignore the girl’s voice calling her anxiously, White let out any words out of her mouth.
“Ah, this fruit looks delicious.”
White reaches for the fruit of a tree he doesn’t care about.
There was a very slight, subtle guilt over his expression.
*****
“… ….”
“… ….”
A corner of the imperial palace, a forest of neglected trees.
Two girls were walking along, basking in the feeble sunlight pouring into the middle of it.
One had dark black hair flowing down, and the other had brilliant red hair.
Ashera and Orca, the two girls slowly walked away leaving a slight distance between them.
There was no particular destination.
It’s just that Ashera puts her feet first, followed by Orca with her restless expression.
‘Muh, what am I going to say… ….’
With a smile on his face, he tried to calm down the Orca’s burning inside.
When I think of her usual lively appearance, it really didn’t suit her.
Wouldn’t that be worth it?
At the time White was immersed in meditation, Orca had to feel the overwhelming power gap from the girl who introduced herself as White’s teacher.
She harbored the thought that perhaps she had intentionally revealed her strength.
Orca continued to chase after Ashera in her nervousness.
And then there was a long silence.
How much time has passed?
At the time I only faintly felt that I was quite far away from where White was.
“The Orca Lady.”
It was at that moment that Ashera opened her mouth.
Her Until now, she moved her steps while only looking at her front. She slowly turned her head and started to face her orca.
Contrary to her cold momentum until now, with a very kind expression on her face.
Before Orca had time to feel embarrassed, Ashera quickly continued her words.
“Sorry, I think I scared you a little too much.”
“…… Yes yes?”
Ashera slightly lowered her head in front of Orca, who let out a voice of bewilderment.
“Don’t do this!”
She was rather surprised by that, and it was Orca who waved her hand, but Ashera was just calm.
“No, I thought an apology was necessary.”
With a smile, Ashera carefully grabbed Orca’s hand.
It was Orca who reflexively flinched at her body, but Ashera opened her mouth again, not paying attention to him.
“Was I too mean? I’m sorry. In fact, I get a little emotional when the disciple is involved.”
Asherah spat out, and Orca could only shake her eyes back and forth.
“That, that… …. Yes… ….”
That was the only answer he had worked hard to come up with.
In front of her, her fidgety her quite a bit, Ashera put her sincere pale smile on her lips.
‘…… Whoops.’
From noble mtl dot com
Maybe that’s all, inside her, she was even laughing lightly as if she was in a good mood.
“Hmm… ….”
Ashera let out her drool.
How should I express it?
At first, she thought that she was a bit of a hindrance to her as she trod her deep into the woods in search of a disciple of his own.
Because the time she was alone with her, she decided that she might be a nuisance to White’s training.
That’s why she tried to intimidate her a little, but she secretly let out a feeble killing blow.
I don’t feel very hostile now.
In the first place, Asherado knew.
She, she had no reason to be jealous or hostile towards Orca.
But, knowing that White had gone into meditation, and that there would be bad consequences if he disturbed her, for a moment she became a little irritable.
In the end, after thinking about it again after calming down a bit, it was really embarrassing.
‘I’ve been frightening young girls for a while now, so that means I’m still immature.’
With a weak smile, Ashera gently stroked the back of Orca’s white hand.
“…… Heeep.”
At that, Orca let out a strange moan, but he tried not to pay attention.
Ashera slowly parted her lips.
“I don’t hate you, Lady Orca.”
“…… Yes?”
As Shera just stared at Orca, who gave out a puzzled voice, she continued her words leisurely.
“Young lady likes my disciple, right?”
“…… Uh, yes?”
However, contrary to her relaxed tone, the words she spat out were very serious.
…… At least, that meant that to Orca.
“Yeah?!”
Unable to hide her severe bewilderment, Orca blushed at her.
“What, what are you talking about, that?!”
“…… Whoops.”
She tried hard to disguise her composure, but how could that be possible when she was already embarrassed.
“Me, me. It’s not like that…… !”
She tried to spit out her words, gibberish, but no sentences were connected.
Ashera raised the corners of her mouth with a slight thrill.
“But, no?”
And then she speaks in a calm tone.
“Just a little liking, uh, no, not liking! Interested, interested! …… Yes?”
Orca, who had been chattering about anything, changed her expression to a daze in an instant.
The blushing expression was still the same, but the eyes were dimly shining somewhere.
Orca looked straight at Ashera with her meaningful expression.
A gentle smile began to form on Ashera’s lips.
“… ….”
She takes a small, short step.
As she saw Ashera getting closer to him, Orca startled at her and tried to put her body behind her.
Chin!
“…… Uh?”
In the back, a huge tree was blocking the road.
…… Cold sweat began to trickle down her white cheeks.
And within.
A drop of sweat ran down Orca’s jawline and wet her ground.
“…… My disciple.”
Ashera started whispering her whispers into Orca’s ear.
Her golden eyes flashed once with a very cool light.
“My own, White.”
“…… Yes?”
The Orca instantly hardened her expression and let out a panicked voice.
Not caring about that, Ashera just continued slowly.
“I don’t hate you. On the contrary, I am giving extra points to the fact that there is a girl who likes my student…….”
“… ….”
“Well, that’s it.”
Beep beep.
Putting it in the ear of Orca, who was constantly sweating, Ashera struck the decisive blow.
In a very quiet tone, but with a clear will.
“—If you tailgating your disciple too much, you will get scolded.”
…… So, Asherah finished her words.
“…… Heeep.”
Once, while hiccupping.
In the end, unable to bear the pressure she was pouring down, Orca lost her mind with her glaring eyes.
