145 – Wrapping Up – 3
I can’t remember what happened after that. Everything was vague, like a dream. It looks like Cordelia and Lyra have managed to clean up somehow…. I was already halfway down at that point.
When I finally came to my senses, it was already time for the sun to pass. The whole day is gone.
I heard a familiar voice from next to me as I stared blankly for a moment.
“Are you awake?”
It was Hestia. Perhaps because I had done something wrong, my body stiffened.
“Hey… , big. Hestia?”
“You must have a bad throat. Voices split Here is the water.”
“Uh, huh? Thank you.”
Wouldn’t I get scolded? It was Hestia’s warm concern that returned to me, who was very nervous. She carefully handed me warm water. She bruised lightly at me, who was still bewildered because she hadn’t grasped the situation yet.
“If you are sick, you shouldn’t have said you were sick.”
“… Sorry.”
I don’t know what it is, but let’s apologize first.
“No. There is nothing to be sorry for.”
Hestia quietly shook her head at my apology. She reached out her white hand and put it on my forehead.
“Well, it’s not hot. Is it because I took a day off anyway? Thank god.”
“I see…. I must have slept well and woke up feeling a little better.”
I smiled awkwardly and evaded it. When she opens her mouth, her chest pricks, and her guilt is no joke. Apparently, Lira and Cordelia told Hestia that I was sick and that I was taking a day off. As usual, she was reading a book or relaxing in her room, but thinking that she was taking care of me until this time for no reason made her feel uncomfortable.
As for whether it hurts or not, of course it still hurts…. To be honest, I don’t feel like I’m self-sufficient, and I don’t even need nursing care.
As I continued to feel at a loss, Hestia continued as if it was okay.
“There is nothing to worry about. It’s not even hard. In fact, I also wanted to try it.”
“You said you wanted to try it?”
“To take care of such a sick person. I thought it would be okay if I did it for someone I like. But neither of my parents have ever been sick, and Cordelia has never had a single cold in her life.”
Hestia smiled shyly as if she was a bit shy even after saying it herself. Then she hurriedly took out the fruit to hide her embarrassment. It seems that cutting fruit for a sick person is a universal culture in this world.
“Oh, that’s right. I’ll cut some fruit. Miss Lily and Miss Cordelia bought it earlier. We were both together just an hour ago and left.”
“No, it wasn’t so bad that the three of us took care of it….”
“At that time, I just say thank you. See you later, tell me.”
After Hestia said that, she began to glare at her apple with a sharp eye. The knife in her hand shone sharply. But contrary to her momentum, the way she carves her fruit was clumsy. It is a skill that makes even those who see that there are more things to throw away than leftovers, that even their hands will be cut.
“Hestia? Well, if it’s hard, it’s okay if I shave it. I cut the fruit well.”
Even in her previous life, she knew how to peel fruit, and Mikhail’s body also cuts a knife that way. It is said that it is a noble species, and I am confident that I will treat the excessive level as if it were my own body. But as if Hestia couldn’t hear me, she was still focused on her apology.
“….”
“Hestia?”
“Wait a minute. Please don’t tell me.”
On the contrary, as I kept talking, a sharp reply came back as if I was getting in the way. Thanks to that, I couldn’t help but watch her restlessly, wondering if she might cut her own finger. After about five minutes, she called out to her in her excited voice.
“Okay! How is it?”
“Um… , great shrimp… Did you cut it into shape?”
“It’s a rabbit.”
I had to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out at the moment. Hestia was standing next to her, her eyes shining like that, so I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. I barely managed her expression and picked up the apple she had shaved off. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a rabbit… , Just because the shape is strange doesn’t mean the apple tastes different.
“Mmm, that’s delicious. Sweet and cool.”
“I’m glad. There’s still a little more, so eat to your heart’s content.”
Hestia smiled prettily. Yeah, what if you can’t peel an apple? It’s not like she’ll cook for herself when she gets married anyway. A person cannot be perfect in everything. Not being able to dance a little bit and not being able to peel a little fruit are not even considered as disadvantages.
She wrestled with the remaining apples for a long time. Hestia whimpered, ready to cut off all the apples she brought with her. Should she slowly stop, but at the moment of her thoughts, she raised her head. She looked startled as she looked out of her window, which had already become dark. She packed her things.
“Oops, it’s time. Then I’m going to leave. In the first place, I was allowed to stay until the sun goes down by the housekeeper, but I think it’s getting late.”
“Sure. It’s already this time.”
“Mikhail slept all day today.”
She laughed and got up from her seat. No, Hestia, she had too much going on before she fell asleep like that. But she couldn’t explain to her what had happened the previous night. Maybe I should take this to the grave. Hestia waved her hand politely.
“Then take care of yourself, see you tomorrow.”
“Thank you for today.”
“heheheung. If you really appreciate it, please return it later.”
Hestia left her room with a slight smile. The room she left was nothing different from usual, but it felt quiet for no reason.
I lay flat on the bed as it was. As she said, even after lying down all day and sleeping, I was still tired. No, on the contrary, is it amazing to be a little tired after such a bloody battle?
With Hestia, she had a happy time, albeit for a short time, but in fact, she had one or two things that made her uncomfortable. It wasn’t that she had few problems to sort out. If I see Cordelia tomorrow, I’ll have to ask her….

My eyelids are getting heavier. Should I just sigh and sleep like this? Half closed eyes
At that time, the window slid open along with the cool breeze at sunset. I was awakened from sleep by a sudden uninvited guest.
“Tada! What, are you sleeping already?”
“No…. I thought I was about to fall asleep, but thanks to you, I woke up.”
The one who opened the window and appeared, of course, was Lira. Besides her, no one goes in and out of my room window like that. To be honest, I wondered if it would come sooner or later. However, that is that and this is this. It was self-evident that it was not very good for my heart to keep coming to my room through the window like that.
“Do I really have to walk through the window like that?”
“So what?”
“You could just come through the door. Seeing you disguised yourself this time, it doesn’t seem like work.”
“Um, yes. It’s a story that’s possible with my disguise skills. However, there is a very big problem.”
“What is that?”
Lira set the mood with a pretty serious expression. However, her answer that came back in time was too absurd.
“It’s annoying.”
“Do you want to die?”
“No, really. I mean, it’s very annoying. Not very good for the skin either. It’s several times more convenient to just walk around by the window.”
“Ha, really. Let’s not talk.”
I’m a fool for expecting a rational conversation.
Lyra looked around her room for a moment and then she sat down in her shaggy, empty chair. She then picked up a piece of Hestia’s apple that still had a few pieces left.
“What is this?”
“Apologies. Carved in the shape of a rabbit.”
“Sat… talent?”
“Anyway, I know it’s like that. If you’re not going to eat it, put it down. It means that Hestia cut it.”
“No, just because the shape is strange doesn’t mean the taste is strange. Oh, it’s delicious.”
She tossed her apple into her mouth and continued her speech with a mumble.
“You are calmer than I thought. I thought you’d get annoyed with me first.”
“Because I came back to life after death, I think my field of view has broadened.”
“That’s great.”
“Well, it wasn’t that you took the lead and dragged Cordelia all the way there, and you ran away leaving us because you had an idea, didn’t you?”
At the time, her head was so hot that she couldn’t think of anything like that, but when she thought about it after everything was over, she didn’t really do anything wrong. Considering that I broke into it at the perfect timing at the end, it seems that I was constantly measuring the moment to intervene. However, her displeasure with her was not entirely absent.
“Escape.”
“Then a strategic retreat. But you could have told Cordelia anyway, didn’t you?”
“If you want to fool your enemies, start with your allies. It’s basic, right?”
“If you can’t speak. It’s okay. Stop arguing right and wrong, what happened after that?”
Lira put her hand to her lips and made a contemplative gesture.
“Where should I start explaining? Ever since you collapsed and fell asleep?”
“… I?”
“Uh, you don’t seem to remember at all, do you?”
“No, even though I was awake, I don’t think I fell asleep completely….”
Lyra snorted at my poor excuse.
“What are you even poking her nose at? I even washed you.”
“You washed it?!”
“Did I do something weird? I ended up just taking off my clothes and throwing them in the bathtub. You can’t lay me in bed covered in blood and sweat.”
Lyra said with a calm face, but she honestly felt like a man’s dignity had been trampled on. She’s not wrong with what she said, but…. As she said, she couldn’t have put her to bed in that state, but…. Still, it’s a gloomy feeling that I can’t say anything about. Then she giggled and let out a frivolous laugh.
“You really can’t remember anything? Am i crazy Put your hands on the body of a man with a lot of saliva like you? I somehow dragged her to her room, and she washed herself well before coming out and getting into bed.”
“… Really?”
“I lie about what I am doing.”
I really don’t remember any of them. Is it the same feeling as when you come home drunk? Even though the film was all cut, I showered, brushed my teeth, changed all my clothes, and crawled into bed.
Anyway, when she said that nothing had happened, I was relieved.
“You don’t want to say anything about falling asleep? You might be tired from fighting like that all night. Anyway, after you fell asleep, me and Cordelia roughly finished cleaning up.”
“So, I want you to explain the cleanup part.”
“No big deal. I ended up just throwing you and Cordelia into a safe house and reporting it to the guards. They reported it because they heard the sound of fighting in the early morning, so they dealt with it very quickly. You don’t have to explain what happened to John, you know…. I never knew a person could be so wrinkled.”
“Are you still alive?”
“If you can describe it as being alive. It’s definitely because he’s the boss of a gangster, so he must have a strong body. It was barely hidden. Even though I can’t open my eyes, I can only breathe. Even the guards would have a hard time dealing with it. If you put him in prison, he’ll stop breathing right away, and you won’t be able to take care of him forever.”
As I expected, John seems to have met a very terrible end. The side effects of the drug are not simple injuries, but extreme aging or destruction. Of course, treatment is impossible. After all, he will spend the rest of his life that way.
“Is Cordelia okay?”
“Ask yourself. I guess you’re not too tired though, after finishing the classes earlier, the three of you got along well and came to see you in the hospital in the afternoon.”
“Oh, that’s right. What did you explain to Hestia and Lily?”
“That’s not what I explained. I told the supervisor in the morning that I was taking a day off because I was very sick. He didn’t even look at his face, he only heard his voice, and he said he knew it. When the three of them came in the afternoon, the housekeeper explained it on his own.”
Our dormitory supervisor, like when you went out last night, you really don’t work very much. Well, thanks to that, I was able to finish this job safely.
After her explanation, Lira stretched her body.
“Ugh! All the other students safely handed them over to the guards. This is a clean solution.”
“Wouldn’t it be a big deal if it went over to the guards?”
I don’t know, but it’s drug-related, so there’s no way I’ll quietly go over it, and the guards won’t hold me accountable, but it’ll be hard to avoid school discipline. After all, it is true that the drug is cheating.
“To be honest, it is none of my business. As I said before, I didn’t intervene in this matter because I was trying to save a friend like you did, or out of a great sense of justice. And, how can you save your life by relying on such a suspicious drug? Whether it’s expulsion or suspension, you have to pay the price.”
“That’s right.”
The aftertaste wasn’t very clean, but it couldn’t be helped. The only worry is that Cordelia, who barely made her new friend, might have a hard time. It’s not that I won’t be able to meet you forever, so I hope she will cheer up soon.
Lira shrugged her shoulders.
“To be honest, it was a low-margin business. She’s been toiling through the night.”
“Thanks for your help.”
Laying her hand on her waist, she thanked the condescending Lyra for nothing. Although it was complicated in this way and that, it is true that Cordelia and Lyra were of great help in this matter in the end. Wouldn’t it be polite to say thank you?
“What a thank you all of a sudden.”
“As you said, it had nothing to do with you. Next time I’ll try not to open my hands as much as possible.”
Lira scratched her cheek incongruously with my words.
“Well, I don’t care that much. Besides, I liked the gift of candy to our Crown Prince.”
“Huh?”
What the hell are you talking about? They said that the margins were not good, so why did they suddenly say something else?
“So next time something like this happens, just ask!”
Then she gave a sudden scream and jumped out of her window.
Why are you screaming and screaming, really?
