Early morning. It's still two hours till dawn.

During the night, the clinic was relatively quiet, except for the occasional passing of someone's footsteps and the tendency to shudder and chat, which now seemed somewhat busy with the sounds of those who started the activity. The sound of clothes rubbing in and out of the surrounding tent and people's voices start to get a good smell of hunger. The village's aspiring women must have started cooking.

(Speaking of which, you barely said anything but breakfast yesterday.)

It wasn't long after Snow Wolf (Snow Vee) was targeted, but when the evening time passed, a small slice of bread and chilled tea appeared, but at that time I didn't feel like putting anything in my stomach, although it wasn't very bad about Shiori. After all, I received only tea, and the bread was brought back by asking others to turn it around.

As expected, I had not eaten all day, and the fragrant smell drifted.

As you slowly wake up from your bedside, you'll meet Shiori, who was already dressed and playing with Louis.

"... are you feeling better now?"

When I worried about Shiori, who gets sick and gets up early as usual, the answer came back. Louis, trembling, stretched out her tentacles to greet her in the morning. This is normal, too.

Reaching out, she can lay down her gentle hands. He held his hand and surrounded himself in his arms. The look that peeked down was certainly not bad.

"Really, don't push me anymore."

I didn't think the "bad habit" would come out so easily, but just in case, I'll stick the nail.

"I won't tell you not to get hurt. I'll try to be careful with my work pattern. Just stop being so silent. I want you to tell me."

I don't want to feel the agony of an eagle grasping that heart again.

When she stroked Shiori's black hair and urged her to reply, she nodded as it stood.

"... yeah"

I promise.

Siori laughed a little when she told her child to follow the rules.

"Yeah, okay. I promise..."

There must have been a strange time between words because I wasn't sure I could protect myself.

I felt a lot of joke. Hold the luxurious body firmly so as not to escape. He looked up a little surprised and laughed invincibly against it.

"If you break your promise,"

Lips against her defenseless neck and gently sucks it up. With a short scream, my body jumped up and whispered in my ear, laughing at the responsiveness.

"Every time I break it, I'll mark it here."

When I stroked my thin neck with my fingertips, my body trembled and became red the next moment. Then I heard a reply with a small voice.

"I see...."

Yeah?

"You're not wearing it right now, are you?

"... now, what do you think?

Yeah, yeah.

I almost laughed with a loud voice when I pressed my neck and panicked, but in front of a place called a rescue center, I pushed it to death and stopped to laugh lightly.

Pesh, pesh. Lori stuck to her feet. I smiled bitterly because of the atmosphere that surrounded me.

"I'm kidding. I don't have it on now. But if you break your promise, I'll give it to you."

"... okay."

She exhaled relieved when she gently hugged Shiori again, who nodded mysteriously as she knew her heart. I laughed at it again.

And there were signs of moving outside the tent.

"― ― Alec, Siori. Are you awake?"

As he answered, he rolled up the entrance drape and saw a knight holding a basin filled with soup and round bread. I glanced behind my back and bowed.

"Breakfast. Master Caspar wants to hear it after dinner."

"Oh, okay. Sorry to bother you."

Upon receiving breakfast, the knight smiled kindly. It seems that he was the one who brought Shiori to this tent yesterday.

"I'm glad you're feeling better. The villagers were worried. It was a little noisy knowing that one of the men who helped solve the raid had been taken to a tent for the seriously wounded."

"... that's right."

Siori and the knight gave a light laugh to the shy little one.

"--I, such a big deal....."

I didn't know if it was her original personality or whether it was the result of a difficult experience, but I was concerned about her low self-esteem. The knight smiled at her as she lowered her brow buttocks and murmured in trouble.

"We all appreciate your efforts in rescuing the wounded and unlocking the load in question, as well as your work in the emergency room. I've seen the shipment, too, but it was brilliant. The same is true of maneuverable behavior, but the use of such magic is interesting. Because magic tends to overwhelm attacks. I don't know if I can imitate it, but it's helpful."

As he said, he tapped Siori on the shoulder to be brave.

"Show them your faces later. And Alec. They want to thank you."

With that in mind, the knight left.

"You should be honest with me. It's your bad habit to despise yourself right away."

"... yeah"

Handing over the soup vessel and bread, she received it with a puzzling face.

Did you put something hot in it? I encouraged Shiori to have it before I cooled the warm soup that was still getting hot, and I got it from myself first. When you sip a milk soup with aromas of salty and spicy milk, root vegetables such as potatoes and onions come out of the bottom. They are all grown near Tris. Especially the cow's milk and butter, which are often used, were produced in the village of Brovito. This village is flourishing with dairy cattle.

"... delicious"

I see.

With the warmth of the soup, Shiori exhales with a slight smile. Agreeing to that, I proceeded with the spoon myself. I tried to give Louis a sip, but he refused. It seems that water is better now. When I made and fed a water polo between meals, I gladly swallowed it many times.

"I had a full stomach yesterday, so I don't need animal protein for a while."

…………………… I see..... "

Theoli said that she was uncomfortable, but she didn't think she'd get used to the topic of Louis' hand (...) for a while.

In the meantime, the story ran into the corner of his head, and Alec decided to concentrate on his meal.

The sipped soup tasted slightly of veterinary meat in the distance.
