I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1794: Rest for the Hard Worker

Chapter 1794: Rest for the Hard Worker ③

Amidst Kaito’s suggestion of having her lay on his lap, Anima clearly looked shaken, to the extent that Kaito could sense it even without his Sympathy Magic. However, this was merely on the surface…… “as inside, she was even more shaken”.

(To receive a lap pillow from Master!? S- Such disrespectful act…… makes me really happy…… Wait, no! I should decline….. Putting aside if it were me giving him a lap pillow, receiving a lap pillow from Master…… Ah, no, but refusing Master’s considerate thoughts would also be impolite…… W- What should I do……)

Her thoughts raced at an extraordinary speed. If she were to be honest, Kaito’s suggestion of having her lay on his lap made Anima happy, so much so that if she let her guard down, she might break into a grin. However, Anima continued to suppress those feelings and kept thinking about the current situation.

Her thought process, accelerated by magic, had already reached the realm of a Count, and not even 0.1 seconds had pa.s.sed in the outside world yet.

Well, just because she could rapidly circulate her thoughts didn’t necessarily mean she could arrive at a conclusion immediately…… but that’s another story.

(In the first place! Being in such high spirits is a mistake…… Feeling happiness about going on a trip with Master, feeling fortunate that we get to spend our time with just the two of us…… They aren’t appropriate! I exist for Master’s sake, so I should be more firm…… Ahh, but with us together until tomorrow morning or afternoon, I can talk a lot with Master, and that’s undeniably…… Enough with that, Anima! How long do you plan to stay in such high spirits, you immature fool!!!)

Various thoughts crossed Anima’s mind in this one incident. However, even when she desperately tried to engage in serious contemplation, her earnest thoughts were quickly overshadowed by the happiness she felt being with Kaito. Especially considering how busy she had recently been with the launching of the new brand, the time she spent with Kaito incredibly resonates sweetly for Anima.

(This incident was brought about by my own lack of self-discipline! Despite being warned multiple times, Master relying on me and entrusting work to me made me get carried away, and as a result, I ended up causing inconvenience to Master! Reflecting deeply on my actions should be my first priority!!!)

Regarding the tea brand launch this time, Anima was aware that she had been overly enthusiastic. Influenced in part by the feelings of inferiority she once had towards Alice, Anima had a strong desire to be more useful to Kaito than anyone else.

Of course, Kaito had always trusted Anima, relying on her to manage his finances, and she had been successful in effectively managing and continuously increasing Kaito’s a.s.sets.

However, when asked about how much she truly benefited Kaito, Anima just found herself slightly tilting her head. In the first place, Kaito didn’t have a penchant for excessive luxury, believing that having enough money for a comfortable daily life with occasional indulgences was already sufficient.

Moreover, as Kaito already possessed a substantial amount of money beyond his immediate needs, Anima didn’t feel that her usual financial management significantly contributed to Kaito.

However, that isn’t the case with the brand launch. Kaito had been actively involved in the planning from the very beginning, contributing to advertising, and clearly partic.i.p.ating in the process, with Anima being entrusted with the crucial role of overseeing the entire project. For her, this was a source of joy beyond measure, pus.h.i.+ng her motivation to its limits.

As a result, she had been working tirelessly, forgetting about rest and sleep……

(H- However, I couldn’t keep Master waiting long either. Since this had already come to this point, there seemed to be no option other than to accept the lap pillow. I- It’s gonna be alright. If it’s just a bit…… If it’s just for a little bit, allowing myself a short nap and wake up afterward.…..)

Although not even a second had pa.s.sed as she rapidly circulated her thoughts, Anima, seemingly determined, cautiously lowered her head on Kaito’s lap and laid her body on the sofa.

(Fuaahhh…… Ahhh…… This won’t do…… I feel so happy that my head’s melting.)

The sensation on her head and the faint warmth provided a sense of being close to Kaito, causing her cheeks to loosen and relax. Fortunately, due to the position she was lying in, Kaito couldn’t directly see Anima’s face. However, the relief she felt from that fact was short-lived, as when Kaito reached out to gently stroke Anima’s head, her thoughts were quickly fading, and her mind became almost entirely blank.

(Hawawawawa, M- Master is patting my head…… This feels good, I’m filled with happiness…… Master…… I love you.)

Wrapped in an overwhelming sense of happiness and considering the acc.u.mulation of fatigue, drowsiness quickly overcame her.

Surrounded by a fluffy sense of happiness, Anima’s mind eventually fell into a slumber.

……Of course, as expected, she couldn’t wake up immediately as she originally planned and ended up sleeping soundly.

Serious-senpai : [Gah, t- this is rough but…… rather than a bear, you really freaking feel like a puppy, Anima……]
