𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟗𝟏: 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
The next day.
I was writhing on the bed in my living space.
The demon, the demon had attacked. . .!
The price for wearing the Living Armor-senpai.
The demon named Muscle Pain had attacked!
ㅤ
“Ugh. . .《Shine Heal》.”
ㅤ
While enduring the pain, I cast a healing spell on myself.
With my tremendous magical power, I forcibly healed the muscle pain.
I’m glad I remembered to learn the healing spell.
I should have used it yesterday, but I forgot because of the fatigue.
I guess fighting by myself uses more energy than I thought.
After driving away the demon named muscle pain, I prepared breakfast after taking a bath that I couldn’t take yesterday.
I activated the Mamori-chan doll and prepared for Leif as well, and we ate at the same time.
. . .By the way, at this time, it seemed that I hit the perfect timing, and when I opened the monitor, Leif was washing his body with the bath set I had given him.
What a misfortune.
Men’s nakedness rots the eyes.
Well, Leif’s body was like a delicate girl, so it wasn’t that uncomfortable.
Even so, his level should have gone up a bit from the thief hunting the other day, and he should have some physical status, but there’s not a bit of muscle.
It’s very mysterious.
Well, I’m not interested in Leif’s body anyway.
ㅤ
So, while eating, I used the Mamori-chan doll to give Leif instructions for future actions.
But, there’s no role for Leif this time.
ㅤ
“Eh? I’m on standby in the dungeon?”
“That’s right. I’m about to infiltrate a completely enemy territory. So, you’re in the way.
Stay put here.
Got it?”
“Yes. . .”
ㅤ
Leif’s face turned gloomy.
Does he think he’ll be disposed of if he’s not useful?
But, there’s no merit in taking Leif around this time.
And I’d be troubled if he died.
Even if he makes such a face, staying home is a settled matter.
ㅤ
“Don’t worry, even if you’re not useful this time, I won’t abandon you, so relax.”
ㅤ
When I said that, he made a puzzled face.
Huh?
ㅤ
“Is it different?”
“I am worried about that too, but I am most worried about you, Master.
It’s dangerous to infiltrate enemy territory.
If you don’t come back. . .”
ㅤ
Ah.
He’s worried about me.
Come to think of it, was Leif’s mental state like this recently?
Honestly, I’m aware that what I’m doing is not usually accepted, so I’m not used to being worried about by someone.
ㅤ
“You don’t have to worry about that either. Because, that body is the same as this doll.
Even if that body is destroyed, I won’t die.”
“Eh?”
ㅤ
Ah.
. . .I slipped my tongue.
I said such a thing to Leif.
If by any chance, Leif escaped from slavery, this information could leak to the human side.
I was careless.
Should I semi-kill him for now, and cast a training skill on Leif?
ㅤ
“Is that so. . .I’m glad then!”
ㅤ
The moment he thought that, Leif’s face brightened into a smile.
. . .When I see such a face, I lose the urge to semi-kill him.
Ah, well.
I’ll deal with that later.
ㅤ
“Anyway. I’m going to do the next job, and you’re going to standby. This is a settled matter. Got it?”
“Yes!”
ㅤ
If I say the same thing as before, Leif responds with a lively voice unlike before.
You’re out of sync. . .
ㅤ
Having finished breakfast, I give an order to the zombie-sensei and have the Automata sent to a room in the fortress.
Anticipating such a situation, I had sent the zombie-sensei to the room assigned to me while waiting for the start of the battle, making it a transferable point.
ㅤ
“Well then, I’m off.”
“Yes! Take care!”
ㅤ
As I convey this through the Mamori-chan doll, Leif’s farewell call comes back.
Does this guy really understand what I’m about to do?
It’s really off-putting.
ㅤ
“. . .But.”
ㅤ
I wonder.
For some reason, I feel like there’s a part of me that’s happy about it.
It’s truly strange.
ㅤ
With such unresolved feelings, I had the Automata transferred to the fortress.
