A day has passed since I recovered from the ferocious sex with Irene.
Right now, I had just finished my usual plant inspection from Julies place and currently on my way back to the mansion.
The session took longer than usual, as Julie offered to have tea after that, and because shell feel bad if I say no, I conceded, resulting in my current situation.
Looking up the sky, I could only see a blanket of grey, which made feel worried. Soon, droplets fell, and I was rained on my way ho.
Thankfully, Julie has given an umbrella in advance, so I managed not to get wet.
The umbrella she let is far unique from the chanical ones I had in my past life. It was made of plants and leaves, like you see in historical dramas, but the deciding factor was it has so kind of magic being cast on , that even when the wind blew, I didnt get wet at all.
Well, considering she manages a big farm by herself, it shouldnt be surprising that shes good at plant and water-related magic.
The only problem left would be the puddles, but that would be resolved if you walk down the street like an average person, and prevent your feet from getting stuck in the muck.
Still, for a city of outcasts to have well-maintained roads is proof of Irenes excellent territory managent. It made feel proud of having such a wonderful woman right by my side.
Plus, I got so fruits as a souvenir. I cant wait to get ho and eat them all together!
Ive gotten pretty used to the food in this world.
In fact, the fruit that I got this ti had beco one of my favorites already.
Perhaps my mind was out of the road, and I was walking too fast, I bumped into a person coming at the corner of the road.
Ah, Im sorry!
I apologized by reflex to the victim. When I looked further, they were covered head to toe with a dirty hooded robe, and as I observed also, they looked shorter than .
However, the other party just ignored and headed in its own way.
When I was about to wonder whats going on with this guy, after a few steps forward, the person collapsed, as they had exhausted all their strength.
Eh. Hey! Are you alright?
I threw out my umbrella and ran towards the person.
Soon as I picked up the hooded entity who has fallen forward on the paved floor, their face that was hidden under the hood was revealed.
What the, isnt this just a kid?
From what I see, its a girl, probably four or five years younger than , and has a pretty face that has no sense of maturity yet.
Rather, the problem is in the girls body.
I havent checked it thoroughly, but to think shes only wearing underwear under this dirty robe.
Wait, isnt this practically a school swimsuit?
Then, I felt her shiver in my arms, which made resu to my senses.
Shes wet all over, and her body is getting cold.
Are you okay? Hey, can you hear ?
I tried slapping her cheeks to woke her up, but there was no response.
Shes just breathing raggedly.
Not good, I need to get her fixed right away.
Her body is shaking and has a good chance that shes running a fever.
Even a non-dical expert, could recognize that she was in a dangerous condition.
I carried the girl, albeit a bit roughly, and hurried to the mansion, using my umbrella to keep her from getting any wetter.
Irene is away from the mansion due to her work as a mayor, so the maids greeted instead.
But when they found out that I was carrying a soaking wet girl, all hell broke loose.
Master Tomoaki, may I ask whats with the child?
One of the calst and most collected won in the group ca to .
She collapsed when we bumped into each other on my way ho, and shes really wet and badly cold.
Then, well prepare hot water and towel in no ti. Soone, bring this child to the guest room!
A few of them ca in a hurry at her words, but I raised my hand to stop them.
No need, Ill carry her myself. Rather, can I ask you for this umbrella and bag? Ah, there are so fruits in the bag that I got from Julies place.
Got it. Please leave it to us.
After leaving the luggage to the maid, I put down the child I was carrying and held her in a side embrace.
Are there any of you who can accompany ?
Ill go with you.
And, accompanied by one of the maids, I carried the girl all the way to the guest room.
Since my hands are full, I asked the maid to open the door and make the girl sit on the sofa.
The maid beside looked at the girl and checked her condition right away.
She does seem to have a bit of a fever
Do you think you can handle it?
Im sorry. Im not a doctor, so checking the symptoms is only what I can do
The maid said in apology.
Then, can you get a towel for now?
As you command.
While listening to the steps made by the maid as she left, I tried to take off her wet robe and make her lie on the bed for now.
Fortunately, the robe is simple. I can just pull it up to take it off.
However, soon as I took off her robe, I saw sothing astonishing.
Wha, Cat ears!?
The girl I found had cat ears on her head.
I couldnt process the reality well, and could only stare at them hard, murmuring cat ears, cat ears, cat ears repeatedly in my head.
Finally, I reached for the cat ears.
At that very mont, everything fell out of my brain, and everything was dyed with cat ears.
Okay. Lets touch it.
Like handling a very fragile object, I gently touched the cat ears, and was surprised at how unexpectedly comfortable and warm they felt.
haa! I dont have the ti for this!
I ca back to reality.
Imdiately after that, the door to the room was opened.
Master, here is your hot water and toweleh, those ears
Im surprised too. Do you know anything?
The maid seed surprised at first, but she imdiately ca to her senses as I asked her a question.
Yes, a little. I have heard of the existence of so humans with beast-like features, but this is the first ti Ive seen a real thing.
I see. Thank you for the effort. Lets wipe her body for now.
Please allow to help.
After finding out that the girl had cat ears, the mansion caused even more commotion, but thanks to the efforts of the maids, the girls condition was stabilized.
According to the maid who has served as the coordinator, the cat-eared girl was of a race of the so-called Beast People.
They have enhanced physical abilities compared to humans, so as long as she gets a good nights rest, she will soon recover.
I was already surprised by the dark elf Julie, but I didnt think there was a race of Beast People too.
But this ti, I was glad that the girl is one of the Beast People. If not, her life will truly be in danger right now, due to the lower tabolism of humans.
Still, to think such a child would wander around between the boundary of life and death
Master, why dont you take a break for now? You have been taking care of her for so ti now.
Though I appreciate the maids offer, thats not going to happen.
