I was walking down the hallway after the game with Selik.
So, I speak to Celia.
"Celia, now I'm really your master."
"Yes! Now the master is the master"
Celia is grinning and looks very happy.
Looking at that face kind of heals me.
"That's a good thing. But you have a few more things to do."
"Huh? What is it? Master?"
"It's about Selik."
"Brother......"
Celia looked anxious in my words.
I don't know what that expression stands for, but I think it probably contains worries.
"I'll be fine, so go to him and do it. He's more seriously ill, and he'll want to talk a lot..."
"Master...... ok. Me, let me go to your brother!
Celia accepted my offer.
After all, I guess I felt worried and wanted to talk.
That's what Celia says, she runs away.
I guess I'll head to Selik's. Now I hope those siblings can make up for it.
So, I stop for once.
"Slade?"
So the other three looked back at this one, and Faraes approached.
"What's wrong with you?
"Faraes, actually... it's a lie that it's okay"
"Slade!?
Actually, my body was close to the limit, too.
My body is powerless and my body falls forward.
"... yeah?
"Ah...!
But what was waiting for me wasn't hard ground.
My head seems to have been taken by something soft.
The soft thing that was in front of me. That made sense to me, too.
"Slade! What are you doing!
From hearing Sona's angry voice, I seem to have been taken by Faraes' chest.
Sure, it smelled good about Faraes.
Of course, I know this is a very rude thing to do. But my body's at its earliest limit, and I'm not going to be able to move anymore.
"Sona, come on, take a stretcher with Dion!
"Lieutenant Sona, let's go!
"... yeah, yeah, I did"
That's what Faraes said, asking for a stretcher. Apparently, you're not angry.
On the contrary, he's turning his arms and supporting me so I don't fall.
"Faraes, I'm sorry..."
"No, I'm fine. I should have had a stretcher ready as soon as possible. I'm sorry."
"Oh, by the way... okay? In this state......"
Awkward for boulders, so I made that suggestion. Of course, as far as I'm concerned, I'm more than happy with everything.
"Oh, it's okay. You can think of it as a reward for helping Celia."
"Oh well..."
Then let's just say I enjoy this feeling for a while. Well, honestly, I feel like I'm in pain and tired.
"I wish you had told me sooner too..."
"In front of his disciples, he will not fall..."
"I see, you mean the master's will..."
With that said, Faraes began to stroke my head. Is this a reward too? Don't calm me down somehow.
This is how I spent my time with Faraes' chest until the stretcher was brought in.
◇ ◇ ◇
Then I was immediately transported to the infirmary for healing magic and other treatments.
Thanks to this I am fully recovered and able to walk around.
But I feel like going home today.
As Faraes told me, playing games and so on seems to be my job as a knight. So it looks like I'm going to have done one job in this game.
Including the Land Dragon crusade, now I've done two missions. So he can take a little break.
Sometimes I was about to leave my base.
Then I can see the face I saw from the back of the hallway rushing over here in a hurry.
"Master!"
"Celia..."
"Master, I heard you were badly injured! How could you have hidden it in front of me!?
Celia's the one who came this way. Someone told me about my injury, and I'm going to look at this one with a caged face of worry and anger.
"It's fine as it is already. What about Celik?
"Oh, that's..."
I can't dress up, so I decided to change my mind. Even so, this is also what I was wondering.
"Brother, apologize to me... maybe we can make up"
"Well... good for you"
Apparently, we made up safely.
Now you're saying this case is settled.
"What! Master, you misled!?
"Oh, no..."
"Already, Master..."
The deception quickly fell apart on Celia.
But Celia's expression is brighter than earlier. Perhaps worrying was the main thing. After all, he's a disciple.
"Oh, yeah. Master, can I borrow your ear?
"Huh? Ears? Like this?"
Suddenly Celia said that.
I, as they say, take my left ear to Celia's mouth.
"Master...... thank you. You fought for me..."
"Yeah? Oh...... what!?
Shortly afterwards, along with those words, something soft was pressed against my left cheek.
It's Celia's lips.
"Hey, what...?
"The... thank you"
After saying that, Celia, who turned red in her face, ran away.
What's wrong with being thankful?
"Well, I see you've seen something amazing inside."
When I think about things, I hear voices coming from behind.
Looking back, Faraes stood there.
"Fa, faraes......"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to peek, but it just so happens to be in my eyes..."
"No, I don't mind..."
Of course I'm embarrassed too, but Celia would be the most embarrassed to know I've been seen.
"Heh heh, is thanksgiving right?
Faalaes shrugged so as he came next to me to my right and stared at Celia. I don't know if you're right.
"I don't even know if I'm right."
"If you were happy, wouldn't that be okay?
When asked if he was happy, I think he was happy.
No man would be happy to be done that.
"... glad to hear that"
"Hehe, I see..."
"Yeah? Huh?
Then this time, I felt a soft feeling on my right cheek.
This is the lip of Pharaoh.
"Hey, why...?
"Thank you for saving Celia. Are you happy?
"Oh, oh..."
Faraes today seems kind of service-spirited.
Somehow, it's very bad for the heart.
"I'm so glad she's not sad. I owe this to you too."
"... can I ask you one thing?
"What is it?
"Why do you care so much about Celia?
I know Faraes likes Celia.
But even so, my love for Celia felt amazing.
"... because it's family?
"Family...?
"... I just lived with you and Celia for a few days, but it's like I'm starting to think that about you guys. Is that why you care so much? I don't know myself..."
Faraes says so, blushing. It was unusual for Faraes to get upset like this.
Still, me and Celia are family. That would be a great pleasure.
"Family, okay, it..."
"Really? I was a little embarrassed... but good then"
That's what I said, me and Faraes laughed at each other.
Maybe me and Faraes are hungry for a family.
But I'm sure this relationship is a good one.
"Well, it's time for me to leave. Fine, you're tired."
"Oh, get some rest and heal your fatigue"
At the end of the day, me and Faraes break up.
This is how I got home.
