(Casimir Kist)
I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the white ceiling of my room. I groaned as I felt pain in my nape and tried to move my right hand, but there was sothing over it stopping it from properly moving. I slowly raised my hand and felt hair and a tiny horn.
Ah... I see.
Maybe she felt my touch so she imdiately moved and raised her head. The first thing I saw was her pair of blue eyes, they were full of concern. She was lying next to as if I had terminal sickness.
I just got knocked out by a long-haired red fox, Young Lady. I'm far from being fatally wounded.
I smiled to show her I was fine, but tears started to co out of her eyes as she hugged .
"Big bro Casimir!"
I patted her head and chuckled. "Yeah. I'm still alive."
Suddenly, I heard sounds of rumbling, as if there was a freaking riot happening outside!
"I'll go first!" The door of my room slamd as soone kicked it so hard I thought it would fly towards . "Boss!"
I exhaled as I stared at Leo. "You could use the doorknob, you know?"
Entering the room next to him was hrad just casually walking toward .
Leo tapped my shoulder. "How are you? I saw what you did back there! You were this close to wiping them out."
I sat at the side of my bed and touched my nape. "Ah, as you can see, I am completely fine. But my nape hurts like hell."
hrad chuckled. "Pardon , maybe I overdid it."
Misha sat next to , I patted her head and veered my eyes to hrad. "No. You did the right thing. I was the one who ordered all of you to let the legion go once they decided to retreat, but the next thing you knew, I was the one chasing after them. I didn't expect that to happen, it's a good thing that you were there. Thanks, hrad."
"Don't thank , if it was just , I wouldn't stop you. Seeing you not holding back was a breath of fresh air and it was fun to watch."
The hell? Then, who am I going to thank?
"I agree with that, hrad. Too bad I couldn't keep up with your speed so I could watch you closer." Leo seconded.
Yep, that's the 2 leaders of the Fang faction for you.
Ahm, I need a normal person here!
"How's your sleep?"
As I shifted my gaze, I found Leal leaning on the fra of the door while crossing his arms, looking cool. He was expressing a gentle smile on his face.
"Fine, I guess?" I put my hand on my aching nape and healed it. "How long did I sleep?"
Leo shrugged. "About 5 hours? You did sleep very soundly."
"Mister Casimir!" Karoon ran through the door and repeatedly tapped my arms. "I'm glad to see that you are fine!"
I smiled. "Yeah, too. I'm glad to see you are fine as well, Karoon."
"Of course, I am. The town was fully guarded, so that's expected. Right, Misha?"
Misha nodded with a big smile on her face while her head was leaning on my arm. "Yes."
I nodded while smiling. "By the way, where is Tanya?"
Karoon put her palm beside her lips and leaned toward and whispered. "She's standing next to the door outside, she doesn't want to enter."
Leo chuckled. "Oy! Old hag! Don't tell us you disdain us too much that you don't want to be in a tight room with us! Hasn't your small back been engraved on that wall yet? You have been leaning there for 5 hours now-" But he imdiately stopped when saw a sharp glare coming from the door.
After a few seconds, Tanya's face erged from the door while crossing her arms. "It can't be helped then, for now, I won't breathe until all of you, especially you, Leo, get out of this room." Her eyes pointed at for a very brief mont before closing them and releasing a slow sigh. "You look fine, of course, you are. After all, you just went on a rampage with an attempt to completely annihilate the retreating army after giving us a strict order to let the legion go once they take their retreat. How awful. You should have seen yourself back then."
I smiled. "I am glad to see you are fine as well, Tanya."
"Hmph, of course, I am fine. You don't need to worry about . I can take care of myself."
What ca next was the laughter from the people inside the room with us. I laughed with them while Tanya just glared at .
Her eyebrows furrowed. "Did I say sothing funny?"
After so ti, they decided to go out and leave and Tanya alone. I stood up and stared at the door of my room's terrace. The sun was up and I could see the town from here.
"Finally, it's over. I hope no more like that. Fighting in a war is quite tiring... and terrifying." I stared at Tanya. "I hope I didn't have you worried."
"About you ending up losing? No. Not even a little. I knew you would do well in that battle." She stood beside and stared outside. "What concerned was, if you woke up, you were no longer the sa Casimir I know. After seeing you rampaging like that, I thought you would completely change." She stared up at , for so reason, I saw great pain in her eyes. The pain of rembering sothing that she should not.
I see. This is not the very first ti it happened to her.
"Your ruem friend, after she rampaged. Did she change?"
She paused for a second, then slowly nodded. "Yes. She changed so much that I asked myself if it was still her."
I stretched my arms. "Welp, good for , it's still . I didn't change even a little, I guess?" I tapped her shoulder. "Maybe I'm just a special case?"
Or maybe because I am not even a real ruem.
"The things that you did earlier. Did you decide to do it yourself or sothing made you do it?"
"No. I wanted to do it. I had full control of myself and decided to do it of my own accord. However, I am fully aware that I overdid it, so I will try to restrain myself next ti."
She stared back outside and stared at the scenery of the town. "Please do so."
Upon seeing her subtle smile, a realization occurred to . I am fine, she is fine and everyone close to is fine. The entire town is still as it is. It only ans.
The battle against the kingdom of Milana really is over now, and we won.
