Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

35 Later discussion (2) Fever

It's just...

Don't tell anyone, open the door to your room and say hello home.

It is a room that I left for a few days, but the room is warm enough with Petica heating throughout the building.

The unloading was there, and the bathtub was filled with water straight to the bathroom. I was going to take a bath at least once on my trip, but I lost my chance because of the incident. I'm so tired that I want to jump into bed like this, but I feel a little sick.

He took off his clothes and gazed at the wounds on his arms. A scar that I tried not to look at, so as not to think as much as possible. They've seen it. But...

Your value will not change. I don't want to abandon you. "

That's how he hugged me.

"Alec...."

Remembering his kindness and warmth, he chewed quietly into the bathtub. The warmth of the hot water that stains with twitching is pleasant. But if I soak it like this, I'll probably fall asleep. I decided to warm up appropriately, then wash my body and hair and get up quickly.

"... let's do the laundry tomorrow..."

I put the laundry in a basket. Louis was enjoying a bath floating in the water filled with toilet water, but she also felt really tired, so she went up early and drank the toilet water.

Let's get some rest as soon as we eat.

After spreading the street food that I had just bought on the table, Louis jumped on a skewer of yakiniku. It seems that it was my favorite flavor, and I'm shaking with a bite.

Good for you.

Looking at your friend's cute figure, he takes a bite of the sandwich he bought for himself.

"... nh...?

Citrus jam sandwiches are a luxury category in Stridia. It's supposed to be delicious, but it's kind of hard to eat. Still, I'll try my best and try another bite or two.

"Hmm...."

I am too tired or I don't have much appetite. In the last few days, a lot of things have happened and I may be completely tired, both physically and mentally. I gave up eating sandwiches and wrapped them back in wax drawers before putting them in the freezer.

Still, if you want to drink only water, break the bottled berry syrup with water and drink it to dry. I exhaled relieved at the feeling that the missing minerals were seeping through my body.

"Delicious...."

I washed the glass with light water and then called out to Louis.

"Sorry, I'll rest first. If you don't have enough food, you can have a sandwich in the freezer."

The signs that Ruli was wearing made me feel worried. After showing the appearance of watching us for a while, I trembled a big time like nodding.

After getting some sleep, say good night to Louis and dive into the bedspread. As soon as I closed my eyes, my consciousness became distant and I was drawn to the abyss of sleep.

- The next morning.

"... uuuu..."

Shiori moaned small, wrapped around her skin.

Lazy. It's kind of painful.

"I'm getting a fever...."

Perhaps everything was impossible. I thought it was strange last night, but it seems to have caused a fever.

But like saying, "Are you okay?", Louis trembled at the pillow.

"I'm glad I'm off today...."

You can rest slowly without worrying about anything. I'm sure you'll be better off sleeping all day.

"I'm sorry, Lori. I'm going to go to bed today, so if I'm hungry, maybe I can eat it properly."

Fortunately, there are a number of preserved foods that can be eaten immediately without adding hands. Dextrous Louis can also open the lid of the bottle, so I'm relieved.

Lori stretched out her tentacles, touched her neck, and then stepped off the bed. I suppose that means don't push it. After seeing Louis off to the kitchen, Cili closed her eyes again.

I'm terribly sleepy. I'm afraid I'm tired. I decided to entrust myself to sleep as much as my body wanted.

― ― While repeating the shallow sleep, it feels like you've heard a sound, and your consciousness rises. Signs of people. The owner of the sign seemed to be quietly approaching us. The signs stop in front of the bedside. Someone's hand gently touched my forehead after a while.

A gentle hand.

――

When I opened my eyes loosely, my eyes met those of purple blue looking down at me worriedly.

"Alec...?

I was pressed to wake my body.

"Go to sleep. Did you get a fever?"

"... yeah"

A big palm slides down from your forehead to your cheeks. Because of my high temperature, my cool hands are pleasant.

"... why?

I wonder why he is here. When asked, Louis trembled as she climbed up to her pillow.

"Lori came to get me."

I see.

You must have been worried about me becoming Lori. When I called Alec instead of Zach (brother), I felt something including something and felt like I couldn't say anything.

"- You."

Yeah?

"I don't suppose you have a fever every time you go on an expedition."

Asked, Theori smiled bitterly.

"That's right... it's been a long time since I've had a fever. I guess I'm a little tired this time."

I was wounded by the incident, and when I saw a scar I didn't want to know about, I spit out the pus I was accumulating.

"... that's fine then."

Alec seems very worried.

"Dinner?

"I don't want to eat..."

"Is there anything you want?

"Nh... I want to drink water. It's cooled in the freezer, so...."

"Okay. Wait for me."

See Alec off to the kitchen immediately, then gently close your eyes. Because the fever is starting to rise, there are billions of people who are opening their eyes. Alec brought me some water while I slept a little.

When I tried to get up, I was supported on my back. He sat down with Alec sitting on the edge of the bed. While being held with one arm, he received the glass that had been offered, and the other hand was attached to his hand. Drink water one by one. I felt that the heat of the burning body had been reduced slightly.

"... thank you."

"... ahh"

Normally you should feel embarrassed, but it's kind of terribly pleasant to be wrapped in Alec's warmth because you're feeling unwell and missed. That's why I felt a little lonely when I lay on the bed again.

Water sounds are heard near the pillow, and then wet towels are placed on the forehead. Cold and pleasant.

"Is there anything else you want me to do?

"Nh...."

If you stay asleep, even if you don't take care of me, the fever will come off soon.

--I 'm lonely, so I want to be by my side. May I say so?

But...

"Are you with me?

Alec said something pleasant, didn't he?

"... but Alec's still tired, isn't he? I just got back yesterday....."

I feel happy, but I feel sorry for asking you yesterday today.

Alec smiled like a prank. It's a way of laughing like you're up to something.

"I'll sleep with you when I'm tired. You're tiny, so you can sleep next door."

I'm sure he meant to be joking. I couldn't think of anything very good because of the heat and drowsiness, and I just thought I was purely happy.

Really?

"Uhh... hmm?

"Can you really sleep with me?

"...... * giggle *..."

He seemed wobbly. You didn't think I'd be taken seriously.

But I want you to stay by my side. I want you to hold me gently.

Move your lazy body hard and shift it slightly sideways to create a place for one person.

"You...."

Alec went on a tour for a while, then exhaled a little. Take off your gear, take off your jacket and boots, and get comfortable and slide in to the side.

She rubbed her cheeks against her chest and was gently embraced by her arms. The fallen towel is put back on the forehead.

"Now go to sleep. Rest well and heal. Lori is worried too."

"Yes, thank you...."

I was relieved by the warmth, leaving myself to be drawn to the abyss of sleep.

Good night, Theoli.
