42. Vesteria Kingdom and Elite Guard [5]
We were guided by Claude-san and headed to the first floor of the castle.
「-Filthy worm, this is your room」he said, and stopped in front of a room.
And then,
「Nee, Claude!? His na is not filthy worm, it’s A-L-L-E-N! How many tis must I tell you!? I will get angry!」
Ria reprimanded Claude-san with veins popping on her forehead.
「I-I’m sorry, Ria-sama. However, that is sothing I can’t do…」
He bowed deeply, saying so.
Apparently, he can’t stop calling a『filthy worm』even if warned by Ria.
(Well, it doesn’t really matter…)
I have been called『Dropout Swordsman』and scorned for three whole years. So being called『filthy worm』at this point, doesn’t really affect .
I slowly opened the door in front of because there was no point in disputing it with him.
「Oh… this is a really nice room.」
The large and wide room had a bed and sofa that looked very luxurious.
Taking a closer look, my luggage that I left on the plane, was also carried in.
Apparently, as His Majesty Gris said, they would treat as a guest for the ti being.
As I looked around the room, Claude-san coughed.
「I forgot to say one thing, but I would be monitoring – *Cough* I an, I am your caretaker.」
Right now, he definitely said『monitoring』…
「I’m in the room directly opposite, so be sure to let know when you go outside. -In the case, you fail to report to … you know what’ll happen right?」
Saying that, he showed his sword on his waist aningfully.
「I’ll be sure to let you know, so it’ll be fine.」
「Fuun, good then. Then take a rest in preparation for tomorrow… Although, I can already see your unsightly defeat.」
After leaving the cutting remark, he walked to the exit.
「Fuun, Allen will definitely win!」
The clearly sullen Ria, accidentally tried to close the door of the room.
「R-Ria-sama, why close the door…? Your room is on the top floor…」
Claude-san questioned her as Ria tried to stay in the sa room as usual.
「…Ah, right.」
Ria’s scatterbrain ca out in the worst form possible.
「F-Filthy worm… You have been bringing Ria-sama to your room everyday…!?」
After sniffing out our relationship from Ria’s reaction, his face turned pale.
(Claude-san’s reaction…)
I can’t let him confirm that, even by mistake.
「T-There’s no way that’s true! R-Right, Ria?」
「Y-Yeah! It’s as Allen says!」
As we tried to get our story straight…
「Kisama, Kisama Kisama Kisama…! You filthy worm bastard…」
He gritted his teeth with his eyes turning bloodshot, and clenched his fist.
And then,
「…Ria-sama, I will guide you to your room…」
As his anger turned to sadness, Claude-san hung his head and called out to Ria.
「A-Allen, good night. I’ll see you tomorrow.」
「A-Aa, good night.」
In the room after the storm had passed, I heaved a large sigh.
(Haa… I guess this will make my reputation worse again…)
I’m sure Claude-san will tattle to His Majesty again.
I once again sighed and stopped thinking.
■
Then I brushed my teeth, took a bath, and got ready to sleep.
Looking at the clock, it was already 9:30 pm.
It feels a little early to go to bed, but…
(There’s an important battle coming up tomorrow, and I’m already done with today…)
After that, when I turned off the lights and laid on the large bed, I felt a little uncomfortable.
「…Right, I’m sleeping alone today.」
Ria always sleeps on the left side of the bed, so I unconsciously left her the usual sleeping space.
(…It feels sowhat strange.)
There’s usually Ria next to , talking about our friends and swordsmanship – by the ti we realize we would’ve already fallen asleep.
So it was a bit lonely to lie down on the bed alone…
(…Let’s sleep early today)
I shut my eyelids and released the tension from my whole body.
The sound of the clock’s second hand ticking, echoed in the quiet room.
As I listened to the regular sound, sleep gradually ca.
I heard a beautiful insect noise from outside the room.
Soft bed with just right environntal sound.
In a perfect space that’s never been better – I felt a strong lack of『satisfaction』.
「…It feels like I didn’t swing enough.」
Although I did complete my daily early morning swings today…
From then on, we prepared for the trip in a hurry and continued on the plane to Vesteria.
Then I ate Ramzac and had a eting with His Majesty Gris – and now in bed.
I haven’t been able to swing enough at all.
On the contrary, I haven’t even gripped the sword properly at all.
(But I’ve already taken a bath…)
If I swing now and take a second bath, I’m going to have a lot less ti to sleep.
「But… it can’t be helped.」
Once I start wanting to swing, I can’t escape that desire anymore.
When I got up and looked at the wall clock, the clock hands pointed exactly at ten o’clock.
As expected, there’s not much ti left.
(…It’s okay. Just swing a little and then take a shower right away)
Sleeping ti will be shortened, but because I get a quality sleep when I swing – there is no problem.
「Yoshi, let’s go!」
I changed from my nightwear to Thousand Blade Academy’s uniform and got ready imdiately.
「Now, I need to let Claude-san know.」
I left my room and stood in front of the room directly opposite, and knocked on the door.
However, there was no reply none whatsoever.
「Claude-san? Are you there?」
I knocked on the door a little harder this ti, but there was still no reply.
「This is a little troubling…」
I can’t go out to swing without his permission.
(Perhaps, he has fallen asleep already…?)
When I turned the knob, the door opened without a sound.
Apparently it was not locked.
「Claude-san, I’m coming in.」
Just in case, I called out and then stepped into his room.
There was one light in the room, and the arrangent of household items was exactly the sa as in my room.
And then,
「Fuun, fufuun, fuun, fufuun」
From the back of the room, I heard a slight humming and the sound of the shower.
He seed to be taking a bath.
(I see, that’s why he didn’t hear the knock.)
In that case, let’s co back in about ten minutes.
If he knew that I entered his room without permission, it will beco troubleso again.
When I killed my footstep sound and headed to the exit – the sound of the shower stopped and the curtain opened.
(…It’s the worst timing.)
If I rush out of the room now, I might be mistaken for a thief if it goes poorly.
In that case, I’d better stay and tell the honest reason why I’m here.
When I was standing in the middle of the room, Claude-san who was stark naked, stepped out.
I doubted my eyes.
「…C-Claude-san?」
「…Eh?」
Claude-san, who was undressed, had a surprisingly delicate body.
Above all, the chest area had two large mounds that symbolizes femininity.
「…Y-Your chest!?」
「Ki-Kisama, why are you…!?」
Then he, no – 『she』had her cheeks dyed bright red.
