Chapter 44.2
The next morning .
Mistral shakes me awake .
“Ah, morning . ”
“Morning . ”
Mistral gives me a wry smile as I open my eyes .
“Ernea, please lock the room properly . You’re too careless . ”
“Ah, darn . I forgot . ”
When I try to get up, a weight on my arm pulls me back to the futon . A glance reveals Priscillchan still clings to it in her sleep . Is this a good sleeping posture?
“You sure are loved . ”
Mistral gives me a hard stare .
“Y-you’re wrong . This is a misunderstanding . ”
I panic, but she lightly brushes it away .
“Now, Priscilla, please wake up too . If you don’t get up, there won’t be breakfast . ”
“Muuu, sleepy . ”
Advertis.e.m.e.ntPriscillchan wakes up in response to the mention of food .
“My, my, well, well, Ernekun and Priscillchan both have such wild bed hair . ”
“Uwahhh“
I blush from how they’re staring at my messy bed hair .
“It can’t be helped . I’ll specially help you fix it today . ”
“I-it’s okay . I can do it by myself . ”
My shriek like refusal falls into deaf ears and Mistral starts to untangle my hair with her comb .
“Ah, the tastiest role has been taken . In that case, I’ll do Priscillchan’s . ”
Ruiseine pulls Priscillchan from my arm and straightens her hair .
Still, I shouldn’t have been turning about with Priscillchan clinging to me . Priscillchan was clinging to me the whole time and shouldn’t have been able to move either . Why do we have this amazing level of bed hair?
“Priscilla woke up early in the morning and grabbed you again, nyan~”
Nymia, having woke up since who-knows-when, walks under me and resolves my confusion .
So that’s what happened . Well, that makes sense . There’s no way we’d have been able to sleep if she clung to me all night long .
Either way, having my hair touched feels really good . I always get drowsy whenever I go for a haircut . Even now, by having my hair touched by Mistral, waves of sleepiness are coming over me .
Priscillchan is already asleeping .
“Both of you, really now…”
Mistral sighs out in amazement while Ruiseine simply smiles .
Shortly after that, we finish our preparations and leave the inn . Upon stepping outside, we discover that the patrolmen are already on standby waiting for us .
We greet each of the patrolmen and invite them to breakfast . Priscillchan has a vigorous appet.i.te in the morning . It even surprises the patrolmen .
Once we are full, we board the carriage again to resume our journey .
Really, traveling on a carriage is really comfortable . If I stick my face out from under the canopy, I’m able to watch the pa.s.sing scenery . Priscillchan, too, seems to enjoy watching at the scenery . She’s quietly sitting beside the coachman and taking in the scenery .
Thus, within the canopy are Mistral, Ruiseine, and me .
“Did you sleep well last night?”
“Did you do anything strange to Priscillchan?”
“Uuu . I slept well, and I didn’t do anything weird…”
For even a shrine maiden to doubt me, just how undependable am I? Ruiseine laughs at my despair, saying that she is joking .
“That girl is strong . ”
I tilt my head at Mistral who wears a similar smile .
“She has been away from her home village all this time . Yet, despite how close we’ve gotten with her over this trip, she hasn’t uttered a single complaint . ”
“Now that I think about it, that’s true . ”
“If another child were to go through something similar, that child would probably be more burdened with trouble . ”
“As expected from the Long-Eared Tribe . ”
“Rather than her race, I think Priscilla is just incredible . I just hope that her br.i.m.m.i.n.g curiosity doesn’t cause any trouble later on . ”
“Priscillchan has great spirits with her . She should be safe from just about any danger . ”
“Except, don’t forget that she herself is still a child . ”
“So Priscillchan is a spirit user?”
“That’s right . She’s amazing . ”
I tell Ruiseine about Priscillchan’s spirits . Even though she should know more about spirits and the Long-Eared Tribe than me, she happily listens .
By the way, it seems like war shrine maiden Ruiseine diligently studied about spirits and various races during her learning at the temple . So, I wonder if the lessons at school were useless for her since she already knew all of that to begin with?
I ask her my thoughts .
“I enjoy learning the various things we’re taught at school . With a change of location, then even if the topic is the same, there can be new discoveries . ”
“Ehh, really?”
As I give a profound nod, Mistral changes the topic .
“On the way back, we will go through dragon forest . ”
“So suddenly? Why?”
There is no decent path through dragon forest . Even if there are trails used by beasts, walking over the far off highway is much easier .
“I talked about it to Ruiseine last night . I’ll introduce her to the venerable elder . ”
“Ah, for that?”
If she is going to become my wife, then by one way or another, her meeting Old Sleigstar is for the best . Thinking about it makes me twist my face .
But before she becomes my wife, how do I make her fall in love with me? This question
has been troubling my mind ever since yesterday .
My suddenly holding my head and groaning out brings wry smiles to the faces of Mistral and Ruiseine .
And so, the third day of our trip advances smoothly . By evening, we finally reach the capital city .
