Living as I please, 112: What if Milla got sick?

"Achooo!!!"

"Yes. It's pretty obvious now. Milla-nee, you have a fever. You caught a cold."

After I ca back from the Spirit Pit, I felt kinda tired and weak. I crashed on my bed, but I wasn't getting any better. Grace was here by my side, checking my temperature. Of course, there aren't dical devices like a thermostat in this world. It was done by hand.

"Grace…. *Sniff* … how is it even possible for … to get a cold?"

"Normally because of your phoenix powers you would be immune to any illness. They would detect any abnormalities in your body and cure you. But since you can't access your powers anymore, I assu that the cold managed to stick to you this ti."

Ugh… this is the worst. I can't go into battle like this. I can barely stand.

"Millaaaa!! Don't die!"

"What the… Shiori… give

so space! You're squeezing

too hard. I'm not gonna die!"

"Ara Ara!? Is squeezing a form of dicine? If so, I can help. And also I never got the chance to… with my lady… fufu!"

"No! Irina, calm down. *Cough… cough*!"

"Nya! Milla-nyan is getting worse. What should we do?"

It doesn't help that all you girls are around my bed! I'm glad that all my girls rushed to

the mont they heard I'm ill, but… Shiori, Momoyo, Irina, Cleo, Persia, Odin, Felicia, Sue and Grace… this is overkill. I'm just glad that Tenebria is busy with my paperwork and dragon mom, Lorina and Hiko are at the forge.

*Clap*

Grace made a loud clap.

"That's enough girls. Lets let Milla rest for now. I'm going to go into town for so ingredients to help her. In the anti if she needs anything, please tend to her."

Way to go Grace! As expected of my number 1 maid. She managed to get everyone out of my room. Oof. Finally I can try getting so rest.

------

"Lady Milla?"

"Ugh… what is it Cleo?"

"You have been sweating for quite so ti. I couldn't leave you alone like that. Mind if I wipe you off?"

"That… actually sounds reasonable. Okay."

"Then please turn on your belly so I can see your back."

I did what Cleo told . She gently untied my pajama. But… I sure didn't feel a towel on my back. Instead I felt a pair of plump balloons and also I could hear... Cleo moaning.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"I'm wiping your back?"

"But why are you using your boobs?"

Yup. Cleo literally went back and forth, stroking her breasts along my back.

"This is the most efficient way. Skin contact will also keep you warm!"

This is bad. I don't wanna get horny in my condition.

"That's enough."

Odin ca from behind and pulled Cleo off of . Thank God.

"That is not a proper cure! Watch and learn! Onee-chan, I will show you a cure that has been passed down in my ho town. You need to soak into a bathtub."

Again, it sounds reasonable. Odin picked

up and took

to the bathroom. She placed

in the tub. But when she poured water…

"Aaaaa!!!"

I wasn't screaming cause it was too hot. I was screaming because it was too freaking cold! It was freezing!

*Shivering*

"Are you trying to kill !?"

"What do you an. This always works for my people. A freezing bath will freeze the virus to death."

It will also freeze

to death.

"And… how long do I have to stay in here?"

"Around 4 hours."

"I'll seriously beco an ice cube if I stay that long!"

Lucky for , Shiori and Momoyo ca around.

"What are you guys doing? That's no way to treat a sick person."

They fished

out of the tub and placed

back on the bed. I wrapped myself in the sheets as soon as I could. I was shaking like crazy.

"Milla, we prepared a nice warm porridge for you."

I'm saved! Shiori and Momoyo are from the sa world as . At least they have a normal logic. I really could use so delicious food right now.

"Say 'AAA'!"

Hey. Wait a second… since when is porridge orange, with purple steam coming out of it?

I opened my mouth and let Shiori feed . But as soon as I took the first bite. A lightning struck . I almost choked myself.

*Cough… cough*

I forgot… Shiori sucks at cooking. Even back at school, if her mom didn't prepare lunch for her, she would always eat my food. I an, if she doesn't eat her own cooking, does she really think it's okay to feed it to others? And, prez, I thought you had more common sense than that. Why did you let her cook this monstrosity? This isn't working. I slapped the bowl out of my way.

"I've had enough! You girls are only making it worse. Please, just leave

alone…"

"Nya!? But I didn't even get the chance to try my cure!"

Right when I shouted, Persia ca in.

"And just what exactly is your cure?"

"It's a secret art called acupuncture! We're going to skewer the cold and…"

"Rejected!"

"Nya!?"

Hell no. I wasn't going to beco a porcupine. What's with all of them? They totally act like idiots. They're heart is in the right place but… they really are hopeless. Should I start so sort of common sense school when I get the chance?

"What are you guys doing?"

Grace was back.

"I thought I told you to let Milla-nee rest. And here you are making her worse. I won't tolerate that! Everyone, get out now!"

Yikes. Grace is in mother mode right now. If it's one thing I learned, is never to ss with Grace in this mode. Even Odin and Persia who are stronger than Grace are still scared of her when she gives off that look. Everyone left the room as instructed.

"I'm sorry for leaving you alone, Milla-nee. But I'm here now. First, let's get your fever down."

She pulled out of her bag a potato and started peeling and slicing it? Am I supposed to eat a raw potato?

However that wasn't the case. She tied potato slices to the bottom of my feet. I really didn't get it. But apparently, after 20 minutes, my fever did settle down. I dunno how, but it seems the potato slices absorbed part of the heat.

Grace then pulled out so sort of plants and herbs and mixed them together in a paste. Then she added water and made

drink the mix. It didn't sll right, and the taste was terrible, but it was drinkable. I then imdiately fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day I felt refreshed. I was 100% as good as new.

"It seems your back to your old self!"

"Yeah! Thanks Grace. It's all thanks to you. I said it many tis already, but I would be lost without you. I know the others just wanted to look after … but they suck at it. Nevertheless, I need to thank them at least for the thought. Really, Grace. Thank you too. I an it."

"My purpose is to serve you however I can. Would you like to rest a while longer?"

"I can't. I wasted enough ti as is. Gather everyone for

Grace. I need to have a eting with them."

"As you wish."

This is another reason I need to get my original powers back. I really don't want to go through sothing like this again. My servants are more dangerous than the cold itself.
