Why did Master Duke come to my room?
He's the one who didn't want me to come the most if I could...
They heard the groans, didn't they? I feel like I've been gripped by a weakness.
What I look like now is really miserable. She said she was going to be a bad girl...
My throat doesn't hurt. I can't breathe at the difficulty level from now on.
It's so painful that you can't even move your body.
"Alicia, drink this."
Master Duke offered me a glass.
I don't even have the power to hold a glass to me right now.
I wonder how to drink it if I can't wake up my body.
I peeled the cup Master Duke offered me.
Dear Duke, I'm sorry. But it's really painful, you know.
There was a moment of silence. I wonder if I've pissed you off.
All I hear is my rough breathing and groaning.
I don't know what Master Duke looks like right now.
Then, Master Duke’s hand held my neck.
Lady Duke's face appeared before me without surprise.
It's amazing to feel the colour even with your eyes closed. That smells really good.
Master Duke's lips overlapped mine.
... Huh? I can see the water going straight into my mouth.
I can't think of anything by the shock that I can't get my head around trying to think of something.
What's happening now?
I swallowed the water poured into my mouth.
It's getting easier and easier. I'm getting my breathing done.
I knew Josaia was really quick to work. When I use it and feel it, I know how awesome it is.
... think about what just happened.
Soft lips hit..., is this a mouth shift?
Does this count for a first kiss?
... it's just a life-saving, isn't it? Because I was dying.
Besides, think about age, I'm ten. And Master Duke is fifteen.
I'm five years old, so I'm sure Master Duke didn't think about it.
It's just the kindness of helping a little girl...
Alicia, think calmly. I don't like blunt women. I'm not a heroine.
I don't think anyone who thinks I hate you can help me with a mouth job.
Medicine is what servants take in the first place, right?
Does that mean Master Duke likes me?
But it's not romantic, is it?
... It's tough if you like me, even if it's not romantic emotion.
Because Master Duke isn't set to fall in love with heroine!
If Master Duke comes aboard me, even if I abuse him, it's just a weak thing to abuse!
Bad girls like to abuse, but they don't abuse weak ones!
I mean, there's heroin in the school of magic, right?
You're supposed to be seeing heroin, right?
Oh, I guess I'm already in love.
Then you wouldn't give me a mouthful, would you?
One question after another comes to mind. People don't know because they don't talk about school at all.
"Are you calm?"
Master Duke whispered in a gentle voice and stroked my head.
Now I'm dying in a different way. Keep it up and your heart will pop out. I managed to keep my mind normal.
... my head is spinning and I finally remember.
Aristocratic boys make antibodies by drinking weak fungus and poison viruses when they're little enough to be immune to fungus and poison.
So the fungus doesn't transfer......
I mean, when I was a little girl, it would be a little easier when I grew up.
I can tell by the signs that Master Duke is right next to me.
I wonder when you're leaving......
I'm just meditating on my eyes, but this is a sleep face for once, isn't it?
I don't really want to be seen sleeping.
The side effects of the medicine are making me sleepy. Just as it works fast, so do the side effects.
I fell asleep again as I was.
