I Favor the Villainess

"Nh...."

"Ah... it's pretty hot, isn't it?"

As I was sticking my forehead to Claire's forehead, I let go of my face as I was pulled back by the red expression on my cheeks.

Nothing, Claire is not shy and dyeing her cheeks.

There was nothing useful like a thermometer, but Claire's body was still hot enough to be clear.

"This much... Kegeekho... I'm fine..."

Yes, it is.

Claire is in a bad mood now.

The season is winter.

This is my bedroom with Claire.

The temperatures are also extremely cold, and it is just the season when a cold strikes.

There is a wooden fireplace in the living room in the house, but bedrooms that are a little far away are not warm enough.

Claire wore a thick coat and put a double blanket on top of it.

Still, I feel chilly and Claire occasionally shakes her body.

"No, we'll go to the hospital later.I think it's just a cold, but it could be. "

"I'm exaggerating."

"I'm not exaggerating.I don't know how Claire, Mei, or Allear would have survived if anything had happened to her. "

Don't despise me as just a cold.

Even in this world, where magic is useful, there is no special cure for colds, as in previous life.

Compared to injuries, there is the fact that magic is not effective against diseases, and even if it is just a cold, it is life-threatening if it gets worse.

Well, if you could bring me the tears of the moon, that would be a different story.

Claire, are you coming?

Okaoka is not so good ~

Mei and Area also seem anxious.

Claire, who always looks sturdy, is showing such a weak figure.

I'm worried too.

Nevertheless, Mei and Area put a towel wet with water on Claire's forehead and exchanged it alternately.

He asked me if there was anything we could do.

Claire's fever was pretty high, and the wet towel was going to get wet soon, but they were willing to replace it.

"It's okay, May, it's alright.I'll be fine soon. "

Claire laughed to reassure them.

They still look worried.

I really want you to get well soon.

"Claire, do you have an appetite?"

"... honestly, not much."

"That's right. At that temperature, you might not digest well."

If the heat is too high, the digestive enzymes in your body will not work well and you will not be able to take food into your body.

The solids are a little bitter to Claire now.

"I'm going to the kitchen.May, Allear, Claire, please. "

"Yeah."

Yes.

Having received a reliable reply, I moved to the kitchen.

"I wonder if there's anything good..."

Simple ice room with magical stones that have the same effect as the magic of ice… In other words, while peeking into the fridge, I twisted my neck to see if there was any strange idea.

"Some vegetables and a little fruit... milk and eggs...Oh, and sugar. "

I think I can make that with this one.

"I haven't made it in a while, and it's tough there...It's for Claire. "

I took the ingredients out of the ice room and cooked them.

First, place egg yolk and sugar in a clean bowl and mix thoroughly in a bubble bowl.

After the sugar melts, it becomes a little whiter if you continue to mix it, so mix it well.

Next, add the raw cream and milk to the pan and cook.

When the two boils around the pan, add the egg yolk and sugar in a mixed bowl, moving the bubble and stirring the vessel, little by little.

Once here, the whole thing is shredded with a vessel.

Once the liquid is evenly mixed, transfer it to a metal container with a lid, remove the crude heat, and then transfer it to the ice room.

It will harden around the container in a few hours, so take it out and stir the whole thing with a spoon.

Afterwards, it stirs again and again about every 30 minutes.

Repeat this about four times to get a smooth texture.

You'll see.

I made ice cream.

Unfortunately, there was no vanilla beans or vanilla essence, so it was a really simple way to make it.

The vegetables and fruits were minced and crushed in a bowl while the ice cream was chilled and hardened, and sugar was added to make a simple smoothie.

It would be easy with juicers, mixers, and hand blenders, but it is a force because there is no such civilization.

I was wondering if I could sell cookware that uses magic tools from Bloome.

Place smoothies in cups and ice cream on small plates.

I went back to my bedroom, careful not to spill.

"It's your town, Claire."

"... you brought it on purpose.I'm sorry. "

"What are you talking about?Now, just keep your mouth shut for a second. "

I handed Claire a glass of smoothie first.

Mae and Ariel looked at the green liquid very interestingly.

"Ray, oh my God, what is that?"

"It's a vegetable juice called smoothie.A variety of vegetable and fruit juices "

It's like us too...

I also have May and Ariel's.We'll have a drink later. But now, let's talk to Claire first. "

Yes.

These kids are really good listeners.

Well then, I'll take it.

Claire filled the glass and drank a smoothie.

A burning white throat bursts into flames.

"Ah... it's delicious."

"Great, I thought I'd sweat a lot if I had that much fever."

Smoothies also take all kinds of vitamins at the same time, one stone and two birds.

"This... is a lemon squeeze.And then I smell a little spice. "

"I've added a little ginger.It warms your body. "

I can't help loathing it if it's too clever, but it'll be an accent if you use it well.

You should remember Ginger Ale.

Some of you may not know it by surprise, but ginger ale ginger is a gift.

However, when it comes to smoothing, it is better to reduce the amount considerably.

Claire drank a glass as it was.

I must have been so thirsty.

It may be that the body wanted nutrition.

"What's this white thing?"

"It's ice cream. It's called ice cream."

"May I have it?"

"Please, go ahead."

When I handed over the container, Claire tried to scoop it with a spoon.

"Nh... my strength..."

It doesn't look good.

If the fever is high, the muscles will also not work well.

This makes it harder to apply force.

Handmade ice cream is harder than what was available in Japan in the twenty-first century.

"Claire, let me borrow it."

I took the container from Claire and rubbed the ice cream.

Yes, hmm?

"... this is not the time to be embarrassed."

While saying that, Claire opened her mouth even though she was worried about May and Ariel.

"Ahhn... ahm... ahh, delicious..."

Claire's face peeled off.

"It's cool, cold, sweet...It looks like it's getting soaked in my body...This is really delicious.... "

"It must be because the fever is high.If you eat too much, it breaks your stomach, but this is what happens when you have a hot cold. "

Because it contains eggs, it can also take a little protein, and above all, it replenishes calories that are depleted.

My mother bought it when I caught a cold in my previous life.

Could you give me a little more?

"Yes, of course."

After that, Claire had a second full meal.

It's more important that you like it.

"This should also be sold in Bloomee.I'm sure it'll be popular. "

Really?

"If you think of it as a cold medicine, you can sell it like a fly."

"That's a lie on the sign, and it's hard to keep.We don't have an ice room in every home. "

"Well then, as a dessert for bloomers..."

Dear Claire,

I blocked Claire's words.

"Please lie down without thinking about such difficult things right now."

"... I see. I'm sorry."

"Let's go to the hospital after lunch.Please take a nap until then. "

"Yes, thank you, Ray."

"Oh, my God, Mae, Area, come here.Let's have a snack. "

Somuuuuuuuuuuu?

Aisukukuriumu?

That's right.

Wow!

I saw Claire dive into the futon, and then I took the two of them to the back of the bedroom.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

When I saw it at the hospital, it was said that I still had a cold.

The doctor is not all-purpose, but I am relieved that it does not appear to be a serious disease.

By the way, the college people took a day off today.

Despite the cold, Claire's symptoms are slightly worse.

Mae and Ale were so hesitant to leave Claire in this state.

It is now past fourteen thirty in the evening.

When she returned from the hospital, Claire was lying in bed again.

Mae and Alea are in the children's room because it's nap time.

I was sitting on my chair by the bed and replacing Claire's wet towel while reading a book.

"... I had a dream."

Claire, who thought she was asleep, said such a thing.

"What kind of dream?"

I asked while changing the wet towel.

"It's an old dream. When I was little, I fell asleep with a cold."

Claire went on to say that her mother was still alive.

"The care of a noble child is basically done by a nurse.But because I was so selfish at the time... I was shunned by my nanny. You deserve it. "

Claire-sama murmured.

Claire's personality as a child varies from time to time.

It was a time when I was selfish and self-indulgent to draw my parents' attention.

Immediately after Miriam-sama's death, it was a time of too good a hearing.

Then, when Manaria-sama healed and recovered, Doll-sama drowned the villain lady.

What Claire is saying now is probably at the beginning of the period.

"The nurse who was always strange was very gentle only then....If you think about it, it's only natural.Normally, I feel relieved because I was calm with a cold, which was selfish and all-you-can-eat.But still, I was very happy about it. "

Claire's gaze has been poured far back, not here.

Do you think she can see the nurse in her eyes?

"That's how much she lost and left.Why am I... even more... "

Blue eyes are shaking with regret.

"Hey, Ray. You're not going anywhere...?Will you stay with me forever...? "

Claire's gaze from her bed was astonishing.

The patient feels weak, but Claire doesn't seem to leak to the example either.

"Aren't you going?I'll always be on your side. "

"Really...?"

"Yes, even if Claire doesn't like it anymore, she won't leave until she snaps around."

"... I wonder what about May and Area..."

"So do those kids.At least until you grow up. "

……

So the words broke down.

I changed Claire's towel again.

"Ray is... kind."

Really?

"You're so sweet. I love going out with people of such a difficult personality, and I don't think so anywhere in the world."

"What? Didn't you say that people like defos before?"

"Defo...?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, that means normal."

Even if you are careful, you still speak the language of the previous life.

"At that time... I still didn't understand.It was an illusion that I was liked.What the crowd of men saw to me was my family, not myself. "

That said, Claire laughed violently.

"That's not true.Loretta and Pipi are still friends, right?He came to my wedding. "

……

"As Claire said, many people may have come close to Claire's identity and family, but not all of them were.Some of them were watching Claire properly. "

"... I guess so."

"Yes, that's right... Claire"

"What is it?"

I decided to say what I had always thought.

"From the revolution, Claire is just a good man.Please be more selfish.I miss you. "

Claire's essence is almost certain to be a good old aristocrat.

But I think Claire is an important part of being a noble villain.

And I love Claire as a whole.

"I'm still selfish enough."

"Not enough! Let's get more guns!At least for me! "

I want to be more troubled.

I want to make it more difficult.

If it's a difficult personality, I'm quite a difficult personality.

"Fufu... Ray is really Ray."

"Ah, I haven't heard that adjective in a long time.Please say more. It's a reward in our industry. "

I don't know what you're talking about.

"But I believe in love."

"Fufu, no doubt."

Claire laughed softly when she said so.

"It's good to meet you.This is a really miraculous encounter. "

"What's wrong, Claire?Aren't you being honest today?You can yell at me from above. "

"Please don't leave me alone. I really appreciate Ray.If you think about it, I've never thanked you. "

Thank you?

"You saved my life with the revolution."

Oh, my God, that's not true.

"I don't want to thank you for that.Because I was selfish and I just moved on my own.It's not goodwill, it's pure desire. "

I just wanted to live with Claire forever.

I didn't want her to die.

That's all.

Completely my ego.

"Even so, I'd like to thank you.You saved my life, but you showed me a new world. "

"Is it a new world?"

When I asked, Claire nodded.

"You taught me that the world is not just about cold logic.Ray told me it's not just about money, power, domination, lust... it's about warmth. "

……

"I thought love was a fantasy.Love is nothing but a game against humans.But no, my world has been brilliantly restored when I met you. "

"It's too complimentary."

"Fufu, is it illuminating?I love you too, Ray. "

Claire, lying down, smiles.

Her hot face looked glossy somewhere.

"Um, Claire."

"What is it?"

"Too much incitement makes you intolerable."



"Don't say anything too cute.I want to ignore my physical condition and kiss. "

"... fufufu"

So, don't look like that with that colorful face.

"You say that when you transfer a cold to someone else, it heals quickly, don't you?"

"It's an urban legend. Don't say anything stupid. Go to sleep."

"... won't you do it?"

"I won't. I don't feel confident in my self-control."

"I want you to do it."

"Don't be selfish."

"That's not what I was saying."

Is that what you came for?

I wonder if I'm feeling better.

My cheeks are still red.

Now, please bear with me.

I put a light mouth on Claire's cheek.

Claire tightly closed her eyes.

"Well done. I'll give you a compliment."

"This is not the direction I was looking for."

"I know. Think of me today as causing a little whim with a cold."

"Well, it's cute like today, but if you can..."

What if I could?

"Please do it when you are healthy.Then you'll be so cute. "

"... fufufu"

Even if you tease me, Claire just laughs.

Ah, already.

You're going crazy!

"Please get well soon, Master Claire, really."

"Yeah, I need Ray to be cute, right?"

"I really want to assault you, so please go to sleep."

I raised the white flag.

Stand up from your chair.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to change the water to wet the towel.It's getting much warmer. "

"Yes... please come back soon"

"... and then my head cools down."

"Fufufufu...."

I left my bedroom to escape.

Thereafter, Claire recovered smoothly and the cold healed in about three days.

Making fun of Claire's cuteness during the cold gave me a very pleasant response.

But...

"You've got a lot of nerve. Let's make it clear which one is cute."

And Claire, who was ready, was so cute.

I knew it.

Whatever I did, Claire didn't win in many ways.
