“No. Let’s rest for a while. I’m tired from talking with my mother.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to solve it now and come back and rest all the time, rather than going out while resting?”

“I’d love to.”

Shione fluttered helplessly as she wrapped herself in the blanket.

It wasn’t funny at all because it seemed to overlap with the mermaid in the dungeon, which had been very troublesome.

Those who were splashing around in the pond and spitting out water cannons all the time were annoying.

I still have tears in my eyes when I think of how many more arrows I consumed because of them.

Shione’s fluttering was over as I watched it quietly, wondering why she was doing that again.

“How can I go to see Siabelle unnie when I don’t even have the strength to get up like this?”

Our Shiones all had their thoughts, right?

I wondered if she was using her whole body because she didn’t want to go out.

I smiled and shook my head.

Such trivial excuses are useless to stop me.

I opened my arms.

“Would you like me to carry you or walk yourself?”

“Huh…?”

“Since you said you didn’t have the strength to get up… I guess I’d better leave with Shione in my arms.”

“Uh, uh uh.”

The more Shione keeps her mouth open, the more she can’t give a proper answer.

I approached her with her arms wide open.

Turbuck. Turbuck.

With each step closer, Shione’s eyes shook like aspen trees trembled.

She walks up to the bed and gets ready to hug her right away.

Shione looked at me with a blank expression as if her body had stiffened from her nervousness.

Apparently, he thought I would give up soon if he didn’t respond.

Shione looked down on me too much.

Unlike when it was a heavy burden a few months ago, now Shione is enough for me to carry around.

You can even carry it around if you want.

Shione hurriedly shook her head and caught her sanity.

“…I will walk.”

“Do you mind if I don’t hug you?”

“My, I’m not even a child… It’s okay, so I’ll walk on my own feet.”

“Okay.”

In the end, Shione raised her white flag first.

I’m going to do this from the beginning.

Why do you bother people so much?

She got up from her bunk bed and organized her clothes.

She then tried to leave immediately, so I grabbed her.

“Wait a minute.”

“Why is that?”

“Her hair was tousled.”

Her hair was tousled as she flopped on the bed and rolled on her pillow.

I slowly untangled her hair.

Shione hung her head and waited for her to finish tidying up.

It didn’t take long for her to tidy up her hair.

“It’s over. Let’s go see Siabelle now.”

“Oh, yes. Let’s do that.”

Dododo.

Why did you say that you have no power?

She jumped out with a brisk step.

Siabelle usually trains her sword in the gymnasium during the day.

Me and Shione headed to the gymnasium.

But in the month after she went to the artist, her daily routine did change.

I couldn’t find Siabelle Cianella anywhere in the gymnasium.

Shione asked an instructor who was taking a break about Siabelle’s whereabouts.

Her expression had returned to an emotionless expression before she knew it, unlike when she was talking to me.

“Sia Belle is looking for her sister. Do you know where she is?”

“If it’s Sia Belle, she’s probably resting in her room because she recently suffered an injury.”

“Injury?”

When she said that Siabel was injured, Sione’s eyebrows twitched.

The instructor flinched at Sione’s offended expression.

Her face was wrinkled in a different way from Sione.

As much as the monster subjugation in the Beltrin Mountains is done with Siabelle and no one else.

If Sia Belle is injured, she won’t be much better.

“Could you elaborate?”

“That’s… Four days ago, Siabelle-sama injured her ankle and right arm during her sparring…”

As Shione continued to stare at her without a word, the instructor broke into a cold sweat and continued.

“She also called a priest and it wasn’t a big injury, so she should be fine.”

“If I had called the priest, all of her injuries would have been healed. Is there any reason for Siabelle-sister not to come to the gymnasium?”

“That… I saw that this is the end…”

“Okay. Good job.”

Shione has returned after leaving the instructor behind.

“I must go to Siabelle-sama’s room, not to the gymnasium.”

“I’ll follow you.”

“By the way, Siabelle unnie missed training due to an injury. There’s nothing special.”

Saying that, Shione’s expression looked very dark.

Apparently, she is concerned about Siabelle’s physical condition.

It may have been completely different from Shion, but the relationship with Siabelle seemed a little different.

Well, even if you look at the quests, it’s not a relationship where they fight like they’re going to kill each other, but it’s an awkward relationship.

“It might be a good idea to ask Siabelle if the injured area is okay.”

“…Yes.”

After that, Sione and I went to Siabelle’s room without saying much.

Upon reaching Siabelle’s room, Shione took a deep breath.

“Haa, that feels suffocating.”

“Aren’t they family? Please come and talk comfortably.”

“Family is also dependent on family. Even thinking about it, I wouldn’t want to have someone like the former me as a family.”

“Aren’t you different now?”

“If you can’t even talk.”

Shione smiled lightly as if her tension had eased a little.

Then, for some reason, he stroked my hair.

Sione knocked on the door only after confirming that my hair was messy.

“Siabelle…Can I talk to you for a moment?”

“Shione?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“It’s been a while. Come in.”

After Siabelle gave permission, Sione opened the door and looked at me.

“I’ll be waiting for you here.”

Shione nodded and entered Siabel’s room.

Let’s wait in front of the door, thinking how long it will take for Shione to appear again.

The visit, which had been unlikely to open for a while, opened again.

Curious who it was, I turned my head and a familiar face caught my eye.

“Ah.”

That bastard must be…….

She was Siabelle’s exclusive servant who wanted to gossip about Shione with me.

Fortunately, thanks to the quest, I, who was full of loyalty to Shione to the bone, had a bad relationship thanks to the reverse.

But it’s been a while, and since we’ve only seen each other for the first time in a month, I thought it might have gotten a little better.

“…….”

“…….”

Looking at the face that hardened as soon as he saw me, that bastard seemed to still have the incident in mind.

There’s really no joke behind the scenes.

I didn’t expect it to last this long.

Since you showed dislike like that, I thought we could just ignore each other and do our own thing.

Perhaps it was because this bastard glanced at my profile, it was impossible to endure this awkwardness any longer.

At least when I was stuck between Dioria and Evan Feiosha’s servant, neither of them paid much attention to me.

Why the hell is this bastard so interested in me?

I sighed and spoke calmly.

“It’s been a while. How are you?”

When I greeted him readily, he finally stopped staring.

Now he turned around and started looking at me.

Strong appearance and angular lines. And that fancy mustache.

And to the top of the fire dragon.

“Hmm…It’s been a while. With that outfit, it looks like you went from being a servant to Shione-nim to being a servant?”

Even the f*cking snort that doesn’t match that impression.

I barely resisted the urge to block my nostrils, telling me to speak normally.

From noble mtl dot com

“hahahaha…Somehow, I became Shione-sama’s exclusive attendant.”

“Ummm…”

That bastard looked at my body with disapproving eyes, wondering what else he was so dissatisfied with.

The thought of a stout man going through my body sent chills down her spine.

Ian, whom I’ve seen all month, wasn’t like this at all.

I don’t understand why this bastard is doing this.

“Congratulations. But now that you’ve become Shione-sama’s exclusive attendant… You’ll have a hard time in the future.”

As expected, this bastard’s attitude of ignoring Shione was still the same.

I couldn’t understand what the heck he was doing so openly criticizing Cianella’s people when Siabelle or Sione heard it.

I felt a little hurt when someone other than me cursed at Shione, who was developing enough even though she was still in a bad mental state.

Shione will only curse at me.

“It’s tough. Recently, Sione-nim has been able to live comfortably thanks to her determination to change.”

A strange tension began to rise between me and that attendant.

Behind me is Shione.

Behind that bastard is Siabelle.

I was looking at the estimate of who would have the upper hand in the story with each other’s masters.

However, it seems that Shione’s brilliance is still inferior to Siabelle’s.

Soon, the attendant nodded her head with a smile bordering on sneering.

“Yes, what—- do your best.”

“Ahahahaha, thank you.”

That attendant first reached out for a handshake as if courting him.

The attitude of looking after me was very intrusive, but in the end we held hands for a handshake.

I asked a question as we shook hands.

“Could you tell me your name?”

He looked at the twisted corners of my mouth and made a satisfied smile.

“Please call me Bronte.”

At his words, I made a contrived yet pretty bright smile.

“Please take care of me, Mr. Bronte.”

I didn’t know that the guy who couldn’t even awaken mana would ignore me.

Bronte, I remembered you.
