Chapter 147 – Old Connection (6)
I and Roxia froze like mannequins on the spot at the sight of Seras who started pouring out vomit out of nowhere.
The floor, which was messed up with vomit, made me want to cover it with a mosaic if possible, so I accidentally checked the contents.
Hmm… It seems that the eating habit of filling breakfast with apples is still the same.
Meanwhile, Loxia, who is holding her head next to me, looks quite shocked.
“No, my God… As soon as he saw me, he vomited with great force.”
Haha, most people would be surprised to see someone who puts on an impromptu pancake show as soon as they see themselves.
After a while, Seras’ vomit stopped, and Loxia approached her cautiously and held out her small handkerchief to her.
“Hey, if you don’t mind, use this.”
“Huh… Omg… !”
Seras, who had been gasping for breath from her, turned his head in the direction he heard the voice and involuntarily faced Loxia again.
Then Seras, whose complexion turned blue as if he had seen a ghost… ．
“Oops… ?”
ㅡCheolppat! Iron poop!
“Aaaaa Is this person throwing up again?!”
I started to spit it out again toward the floor, and the frightened demon girl hid behind me.
Under the circumstances, it seems that Roxia is the direct cause of vomiting.
“It looks like this friend has her demon phobia. I’ll deliver her handkerchief, so can she stay a little further away from Roxia?”
“Surely… I’d love to.”
After evacuating Roxia, who agreed to the reason for putting it in moderation, I looked at Seras’ condition. Most of it was retching, probably because it was regurgitated twice in a row.
“Ha… Under… Whoops…”
After cutting ties with her, she thought deep in her heart that she was a woman she never wanted to see again… Seeing her so pitiful, her state of mind was complicated and diagnosed.
“Are you okay?”
Thinking of giving her a pat on the back, she reached out her hand, but Seras, who had pushed it away so hard that it splattered, gave an angry shout.
“… ! Don’t touch me!”
ㅡWheek!
“Oh, with my temper… If you don’t like it that much, I won’t touch it myself, so at least use this, if you don’t have the bad taste of putting vomit on her mouth.”
“…”
Seras, who blushed as if feeling shame at the sarcasm Roxia threw along with the handkerchief she was about to hand over, took her handkerchief and wiped her mouth without saying a word.
“Damn it, it’s not enough to show an unsightly appearance, even sympathy…”
Licking her lower lip, she trudged toward the door in the center of her roof, nervously opened it, and left.
It was an open roof, but I climbed up the wall for no reason.
“Are you okay?”
Roxia, who was caressing my tingling hand anxiously, raised an annoyed voice towards the place where Seras had left.
“To throw away the hand of someone who was trying to help and then leave without an apology… ．What kind of attitude is that to the master!”
“I’m fine, so make an impression.”
“Ahhh…”
As I stroked her hair, I gently caressed her antlers. She flinched at her body and quickly returned to her docile expression.
“Huuuuu, by the way, master. I was so shocked that I couldn’t tell you earlier, but she is that woman. Isn’t she an elf?”
“Um, that’s right. Is this the first time you’ve seen an elf?”
“Yes.”
Of course, demons like Loxia also have longer and sharper ears compared to humans, but elves have even longer ears to the extent that they can be clearly distinguished.
“I thought that elves are generally tall and slender and have good proportions, but it must be true. That woman… Her personality is the same from spirit to spirit, but I envy her height.”
Loxia’s evaluation of Seras is subtly harsh.
As an aside, the height of Seras that I remember is about 174cm. He is not envious of many adult men.
“Do you want to be as big as that elf?”
“Even if I don’t wish that much, I wish she had grown a little bit more. .”
Her smile leaked out at the sight of her demonic girl raising her tiptoe and expressing her desire to grow taller.
“Phehe, I think it’s just perfect for Roxia because she’s cute the way she is.”
“Oh… At times like this, I’m confused whether to be happy or angry.”
“Please don’t pout. It’s time for Merim and Maril to wake up, so shall we go back to our rooms?”
She nodded her head, but hesitated.
“Master, wait a minute.”
Then she walked over with her gun to the mass of her vomit that Seras had left on her floor moments earlier.
“I don’t think it’s anything to leave it like this.”
ㅡpasasac.
Roxia, who uttered a simple muffled incantation, let her magic flow, and lumps of her vomit scattered in the air and disappeared without a trace.
“There is no need to clean her up.”
“About this much, it’s easy, and I have some responsibility. You said it was demon phobia, right? There are people in the world who are afraid of demons to that extent.”
Loxia seems to really believe in the demon phobia, which is a moderately similar excuse, but as I remember, Seras is not particularly afraid of demons.
As a hostile race, it was to the extent that I harbored resentment. I couldn’t vomit so loudly just because I ran into a demon… ．Even twice.
“Anyway, since we’ve finished cleaning up, let’s go down.”
“Yes.”
Well, that’s okay. Decided to put aside the question that couldn’t be solved right away, I went down from the roof, taking Roxia’s hand.
* * *
“Turn it off… Marill, pull a little more.”
“Like this?”
“Yes, yes. Much better.”
… Returning to the room, Roden and Roxia saw the twin sisters relaxing each other with a pair of stretches.
“You came back just in time to finish it. Where have you two been since early in the morning?”
“I went up on the roof to get some fresh air, but Roxia followed me.”
“Okay? Let’s have a meal first. If we were a little later, we would have eaten together.”
After exchanging morning greetings, Roden and his party went down to the dining area on the first floor and started eating breakfast, and the three women chatted among themselves during the meal.
‘I should also tell you…’
Roden looked at them silently and wondered if he should tell the story about Seras at this meeting.
In order to talk about Seras, it is inevitably necessary to mention the fact that right before the decisive battle with the demon king, he personally dealt with the subjugation forces that followed him.
It was done for a reason of its own, but when I revealed the past stained with blood to them, I did not open my mouth.
“… And then. I ran into an elf on the roof a while ago.”
Just then, Roxia, who was chatting with her twin sister, mentioned Seras.
“”Elf… ?””
The twins were understandably interested, and Roxia briefly explained what had happened on her rooftop.
“Ah~ Yesterday, that person was an elf. I thought he was a man because of his appearance and physique.”
“Heheh… ．It’s a masterpiece. An elf who vomits after seeing a demon. By the way, if you’re from the next room, the scholar you met yesterday and those two dressed like servants would be in the same group. Quite an unusual combination, isn’t it?”
Merim finished the meal by adding an afterword, ‘It’s not something our party would say,’ and jumped up from her seat.
“Oh, oppa. You said you were going to look at the carriage today, right?”
“Yeah, I’ll have to ride it all the way, so I’m trying to find out if it’s as strong as possible.”
One of the main purposes of Roden’s party’s visit to this city is to purchase a means of transportation that they will use on their trip. Since there are only three days left to stay here, including today, it is time to choose a wagon.
“Then, I want to go with Roxia this time too.
“It doesn’t matter if I follow you… , Didn’t you say that while you were here, you would go to the Mage Tower with Roxia and learn some new magic?”
“Hehe, while my brother and Maril were going to the dungeon, I brought some with the real cutting magic.”
“It still needs practice and proficiency, so it’s not up to the level of actual combat use.”
Learning magic isn’t as easy as it sounds… When they said that, Roden, who decided to trust him, nodded his head.
“Okay. Then let’s go all four together.”
“Excuse me… I’ll just stay here, so the three of us go.”
“Hmm?”
When everyone’s eyes were drawn to Marill’s carefully spoken words, she explained the reason.
“Should I say that my body felt a little drowsy from the moment I woke up… ．I thought it would be good to rest in my room today.”
“You were the first to stretch yesterday, but did you catch a cold?”
Roden put his hand on Marill’s forehead, wondering if he could, and felt a slight fever.
“… I have a little fever.”
After rummaging through the inventory at the same time as the diagnosis, he took out a pill wrapped in paper.
It is one of the medicines prepared in advance in preparation for various cases that may arise during the trip.
“Oh, it’s not like I need to take medicine.”
“Have you ever had a cold? You have to deal with this in advance so you don’t suffer later… The meal was just about to end, so let’s eat it right now. It’s a chewable medicine, so be careful not to swallow it.”
Marill, who eventually decided to follow Roden’s instructions, who showed a much more determined attitude than expected, put the pill he gave her into her mouth and chewed it well and swallowed it.
Marill’s frown explained the taste of the pill instead.
“Little… No, it is very bitter.”
“There is a saying that bitter medicine is good for the body. I had a hard time eating. Now, here’s some water.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Roden escorted Marill, who looked much more languid after taking the medicine, to the post office with Loxia and Merim to pick out a carriage to ride on.
