Episode 24
(TLC Note: Don’t ask me why the author used eps.24 despite we’re on ch.26 now)

In several days, perhaps due to s.h.i.+ngen's first aid and the prescribed medicine from the doctor, Ortas.h.i.+a's wounds had finally healed at last. The power of the wind is returning gradually but it has certainly returned.

It showed as the wind fluttered around her, causing her hair to dance, tickling her cheek.

As if there were small animals playing around with it.

When s.h.i.+ngen brought a pitcher of cold water to Ortas.h.i.+a's room, he saw that peculiar spectacle.

(――――――could she be…….a witch….?)

Ortas.h.i.+a, who noticed s.h.i.+ngen's presence, quickly guessed what he thought.

[Are you surprised that I know witchcraft?] (Ortas.h.i.+a)
[No, no…….. That would be the least of my concerns.] (s.h.i.+ngen)

He watched the wind cling onto Ortas.h.i.+a then continued.

[That. Does this country's royal family all know how to use witchcraft…?] (s.h.i.+ngen)
[No, I am the only one. Naa?] (Ortas.h.i.+a)

Ortas.h.i.+a asked the wind. As if answering, the wind created a ma.s.s of air waves which emitted sound. s.h.i.+ngen stared in surprise at the mysterious sight. He didn't think of it as scary. Ortas.h.i.+a opened her mouth slightly in a smile when she noticed how s.h.i.+ngen had a stupid-looking face while he is staring at her.

[I had this power since I was born. At first, it was said that I'm a demon-child. I can't even refute it if someone call me a witch.] (Ortas.h.i.+a)

Ortas.h.i.+a fiddled with her hair. Though it's a gesture that even a normal small town girl can do, it felt different when she did it.

s.h.i.+ngen poured the water from the pitcher he brought into a clay cup and pa.s.sed it to Ortas.h.i.+a. She nodded her head, received the cup and promptly stuck it to her lips. After drinking the water, she placed the cup on the table then sent a glance at the white eyepatch.

(――――――soon, I'll finally able to wear this. I can't afford to have it wrapped in bandage all the time)

[s.h.i.+ngen.] (Ortas.h.i.+a)
[Nn, yeah?] (s.h.i.+ngen)

Ortas.h.i.+a patted the bed twice, signalling for him to sit there. s.h.i.+ngen sat down while scratching the back of his neck.

[If it's alright, can you help me put the eyepatch on?] (Ortas.h.i.+a)
[Isn't fine if you put it on yourself?] (s.h.i.+ngen)
[Maa, about that. You are are my servant, right? So you have to act the part. Otherwise, you won't get your pay.] (Ortas.h.i.+a)
[I wonder when I did I become one.] (s.h.i.+ngen)

Ortas.h.i.+a giggled for being able to make fun out of s.h.i.+ngen. She then handed over the white eyepatch. s.h.i.+ngen let out a sigh, the reluctantly muttered.

[Hey, turn around.] (s.h.i.+ngen)

Ortas.h.i.+a presented her back to s.h.i.+ngen, who pa.s.sed both hands across to her face and began to gently unwrap the bandage.

Seeing that there was no blood sticking to the patch, s.h.i.+ngen felt relieved that the wound had already recovered.

After that, he put on the white eyepatch, tying it up at the back of her hair in a b.u.t.terfly knot. And it's done.

[How is it? Does it suit me?] (Ortas.h.i.+a)

Ortas.h.i.+a turned toward s.h.i.+ngen with a playful voice. At the same time, she pulled a trick by making a breeze to spread her fragrance through s.h.i.+ngen's nasal cavity to stimulate him. He did not understand if it's because she is a princess or if she had applied perfume in advance, but he smelled a sweet fragrance. At this point, Ortas.h.i.+a lightly tapped on s.h.i.+ngen's cheeks.

[Oi. How long do you think I'll have to wait to hear your impression?] (Ortas.h.i.+a)

His line of vision focused on Ortas.h.i.+a.

[Aa, aa well. It suits you very much.] (s.h.i.+ngen)
[Really?] (Ortas.h.i.+a)
[It's beautiful.] (s.h.i.+ngen)

He told her with a serious look. Ortas.h.i.+a's face turned red at the unexpected remark.

[A, are you a fool? Are you trying to flatter this Ortas.h.i.+a?!] (Ortas.h.i.+a)
[No. I didn't mean it like that.] (s.h.i.+ngen)

s.h.i.+ngen did not say that because the other party is a princess. She was really beautiful. Somewhat transient with a thin body that seemed like it could break anytime and her white skin peeking through the gaps on her clothes. He couldn't find another word to describe it other than beautiful. She hadn't worn her trousers yet. He scratched his head while being careful not to let his eyes wander off and stare at her bare feet.

Ortas.h.i.+a flicked his nose with her forefinger.

[Ouch!] (s.h.i.+ngen)

Ortas.h.i.+a, who noticed that he resembles someone, had a surprised voice.

[It resembles…](Ortas.h.i.+a)
[Ee, what is it?] (s.h.i.+ngen)

She flicked his nose again.

[Wha, what do you mean?] (s.h.i.+ngen)
[I knew it, it resembles…] (Ortas.h.i.+a)

Eyes narrowed, Ortas.h.i.+a stared at s.h.i.+ngen's face.

（――――――This fellow's face, the more I see it, it reminds me of Maruto….No, maybe I it's because like that kind of face….)

[But I cannot afford to have an affair….. I have sworn to him….] (Ortas.h.i.+a)

Ortas.h.i.+a grumbled to herself. She's in her own world. While contemplating, a sudden knocking sound can be heard from the door. Startled by the noise and realizing their position to each other, Ortas.h.i.+a pushed s.h.i.+ngen away. She then jumped up and hastily put on the clothes that was laying on the bed messily before replying.

[Yes, enter!] (Ortas.h.i.+a)
[ ――Your Highness, after doing some reconnaissance around town of York… s.h.i.+ngen, what are you doing there? ] (Riru)

Riru, who had just entered the room, dropped a glance at the figure of s.h.i.+ngen at her feet. He had been sent tumbling from the bed and was laying down on the floor. The worst thing is, Riru was still in her disguise as town girl. In short, she was wearing frilly skirt today. This short blond haired girl's choice of outfit, it deserved a tsukkomi. s.h.i.+ngen, who saw a certain something, quickly shut his eyes with both hands.

However, due to the impact, the view had been burnt into his eyes.

( ―――――――to think it's red panties…..)

Riru glanced alternatingly between the blus.h.i.+ng Ortas.h.i.+a and s.h.i.+ngen on the floor, then voiced out her guess.

[So, you tried to put a hand on Her Highness, did you? ] (Riru)
[That's not it!] (s.h.i.+ngen)
[How bold~. I knew it will be like this.] (Riru)
[Nonono. For now, please get away from there quickly.] (s.h.i.+ngen)

Is that so? Unable to notice that he had been seen there, while stepping over s.h.i.+ngen whilst mumbling with a light voice, the female knight walked towards Ortas.h.i.+a then saluted.

Ortas.h.i.+a will likely repay him later.
