I was on my way to the garden after tea with Faraes.

To serve the original purpose of moving the body.

That's what I was thinking, but I recognized a face rushing through the front door.

This doesn't look like it's headed for the garden.

"Master!

It was Celia, my disciple, who came through the front door.

At the base of the Knights, he seemed to be training, but now he's back.

And that's why he recognized me and ran.

"Master, are you feeling all right now?

"Yeah? Yeah, I'm fine now"

"Really... good..."

When I say that, Celia gives me a reassuring look.

Apparently, he made me worry a lot.

"Sounds like you worried..."

"Yes, I was very worried..."

That's what Celia replied to my words.

Pretty much, I seem to have made you sad, and my apologies come in.

I'm just stuck in my room, and this is why, when I went missing, didn't I make you worry pretty much?

That goes with it, too, and I feel better apologizing for it.

"I'm sorry about everything, including the missing."

"Yes, no, the master is not bad..."

"But I was worried sick..."

"That was... very scary when I heard that my master was gone..."

Celia started crying in her eyes when I said things.

Perhaps you remembered when I was gone.

This is a bad thing I did. Anyway, it doesn't seem good to keep talking here. Let's move somewhere we can calm down.

"Celia, including that, I want to talk a little bit. In the meantime, will you come to my room?

"Huh? And Master...?

I pulled Celia's hand and headed to my room.

◇ ◇ ◇

I was bringing Celia back to my room.

In the meantime, Celia has me sitting on the bed.

I sat next to Celia and held her hand.

"Are you all right?

"And, Master... for me?

"Oh, you seemed pretty depressed, and I thought we should sit down and talk."

"Thank you. Looks like I've been here quite a while..."

Celia shakes her hand back and leaves herself with me.

On second thought, I guess that fatigue is pretty much something because I was training to distract you from worries.

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

"No, that's fine. Whatever, let's roll."

"Huh? Wah!?

I fall into bed holding Celia.

"And, Master, suddenly what..."

"Ha! Wouldn't this be easier?

"That's right..."

Me and Celia, we faced each other on the bed.

Celia seems a little confused.

"I don't know... a little more, I'd appreciate it if you'd say it first..."

"Well, you knew I was fine, didn't you?

"... right. My master is full of energy."

Celia laughed at my words.

Just a little, but you seem to be getting me back on track.

Or you're worried about how we're doing with each other.

"Celia's gonna be fine, too, okay? If you're not well, it's hard for me too."

"Ah... yes, I did. I have to cheer up."

Celia's tension rises even further.

This is better, like the usual Celia, very good.

"... ah! Speaking of which..."

So Celia opens her eyes. The appearance seemed to remind me of something.

Additionally, Celia blushes her cheeks with a troubled face.

When I was wondering, Celia slowly started opening her mouth.

"And, Master, I... after exercising, I'm sweating a lot..."

"Yeah? What's wrong with that?

"Yes, no, the... I'm worried about the smell..."

Celia is apparently worried about her body odor.

But I don't care about the smell of sweat.

"Nothing, it's okay, that's about it"

"No, I care. Besides, this is my master's bed..."

"I don't care if it stinks in bed."

"So I care... because I'm a girl..."

That's what Celia said, trying to get out of bed.

Is it that much of a concern?

"Ah!"

So Celia's body suddenly falls in.

I seem to have lost my balance because I suddenly moved my body.

"Come on, Celia!

I was admiring Celia's body. On second thought, this action might not have been necessary because it was a bed down there.

"Yes, Master! Excuse me...... are you okay?

"Oh, no problem at all. I mean, you didn't need me to take it, it was a bed down there... something bad"

"Yes, no! I was so glad my master took it!

Celia tells me that, but it turns out she's going to make the approach she hated. This would be unpleasant for Celia.

"... Master"

"... Celia?

But Celia didn't try to get away from me right away.

Instead, he's burying his face in my chest.

"Master... don't go missing or anything anymore..."

"Celia......!

Celia was squealing like that in my chest.

She was feeling better, but she was in touch with me, and she must have gotten into it again.

"Oh, you've really made me worry... you disqualify your master from worrying so much about your apprentice"

"Ugh..."

I stroke Celia's head softly.

I don't know why, but Celia's head made me want to stroke her asexually.

"Master..."

Celia accepts it, even though it lights up a little.

"Celia, I'll try not to worry about you either... so cheer me up"

"Yes......"

In the meantime, I've decided to do that for a while.

◇ ◇ ◇

I've been hugging and stroking Celia for a while.

One day, I saw it fit, and I was going to stop, but for some reason I haven't been able to stop doing it.

Somehow, I was too comfortable stroking it to know when to stop.

"Yeah......"

Celia is so relaxed that it feels like she's going to sleep like this. He was shy of the smell of sweat, and there was no shadow to see.

It's not nice to let a boulder put you to sleep like this, so I decide to make up my mind and talk to you.

"Celia...... okay?

"... Ha! Master, excuse me. Me, feel good, follow me..."

When I spoke, Celia suddenly opened her eyes.

Apparently, about half of them were asleep.

"The reassurance of having a master and the warmth made me want to sleep..."

"No, it's nothing..."

I accidentally reached for Celia's cutthroat look.

"... Ha!

But stop it just before. When I start stroking you here, it doesn't make any sense to stop.

"And, Master? What's wrong, sir?

"No, I'm fine. Anyway, I'm fine, but sleeping in this position isn't good for you. If you want to sleep, you should sleep properly on the bed."

"... Yes, that's right. But it also felt so good on the master, didn't it?

Celia went down from above me, following me like that.

"All right, I'm going to sweat it from now on. Celia, do you want to rest in your room?

"Huh!? If my master is going to specialize, I want to specialize with him!

"... no, you seem pretty tired, and you should stop today. Tomorrow, we'll be together again, so rest today."

Look at Celia and I'll conclude that. Not really, it's not a good idea to train too much.

"... right, I'll give it a rest today!

Celia understands that, too, and she returns a cheerful reply.

That's how I broke up with Celia and headed to the garden.
