Life in Another World as a Maid Mage
22 Shogunate and heartbreak comfort party (Nadia, Zack, Clemens)
"It's unusual to drink like you're drunk."
After enjoying the sweet and sour smell in her mouth, Nadia smiled bitterly as she swallowed the apple liquor (siddle). Across the table, Clement pushed herself gently.
"... leave me alone. Honestly, I'm pretty upset right now."
When it comes to returning words to discipline while drunk, it seems like him. I liked alcohol, but I was never a man who drank it in such a way as to be swallowed by it. That's the kind of man who slowly enjoys the flavor and aroma. Nevertheless, because it is like this, I guess it is quite well endured by the person who said it.
"Well, I was really surprised. Alec, I thought you were resting for yourself."
When he appeared in the union, he wore a familiar shawl. One of Shiori's favorite pieces wrapped around his shoulder instead of a cold shield. The fragrant smell from the chestnut hair when she left is that of the shampoo she regularly uses. I didn't have to tell you where he was until then.
"--I didn't think you'd be taken care of by Shiori."
Clement woke up loosely and drank the amber wine left in the glass.
I was slightly aware that he seemed to like Shiori. However, a gentleman to anyone, he would only have known that to a very close man. The intimate affection that was quietly merciful to watch only a little from behind was like a brother and a father from the edge. That's why I didn't tell her. Or maybe he didn't realize the depth of his thoughts for her.
Drinking the drink he poured with his hands, he once again threw his arms at the table and pushed them down. The rough flow of silver hair spreads to the table. Her silver hair was a little less glossy and calmed down to dull shades than when she first met her. The sweet, gentleman-like look captivated by young daughters now carves their age and displays an age-appropriate tenderness. Sweetness and sincerity maintain an exquisite balance, and their well-rounded appearance still attracts the hearts of women.
Nevertheless, it seems that the heart of the woman who was most inclined could not be moved.
"When Siori realized that she was beginning to open her heart to Alec, I honestly regretted it. Something I've always loved so much opened my heart to the man I just met."
"... then you should've been closer too. That way, Theoli might have taken your hand."
Says Zach with his face on a perfectly warm ale. Clement's shoulders trembled slightly. It was like laughing.
"--I wanted to protect you. I thought it would be good if she stayed calm and watched. But..."
Your drowsiness is caused by deep alcohol, and your words are broken. Her lazily lifted hand clasped her silver hair.
"... when Alec smelled her, I couldn't stand it anymore. I wonder if she was so close."
"... hmm?
Oh?
Nadia, staring at Clement, looked around Zack. Zach also had wrinkles between his eyebrows. I wonder what it is. I think something just caught me.
"Hey, Clemens, you."
Zach shook his shoulders, but there was no answer. I can only hear a little sleepy breath.
"This guy misunderstood me."
"Hey. I think I just rented a bath."
It's about Shiori. I guess I was just trying not to bother you when I got home, but Clement didn't seem to take it. I must have mistaken it for the smell stained by the incident.
"Absolutely."
You mean you loved her so much that you were upset by the misunderstanding of taking care of her? Nadia laughed bitterly as she watched her fellow sleepers.
"I knew it was the right thing to drink at home. I must have fallen asleep."
"... I guess so."
As soon as I knew it, I crossed Zach's room, borrowed a blanket from his bunk, and then gently hung it on Clement's shoulder.
But is that okay?
"Ah? What is it?"
Zach, who roamed the blue cheese of the dish, urged the end of the word.
A man will take your precious sister's share.
"- It's okay."
He smiled bitterly, but somewhere he smiled brightly.
"If my precious apprentice is going to give me my precious sister's share. There's nothing more to be happy about."
