The royal capital! The royal castle! Viva capital!
Somehow or the other, I was actually getting quite excited about the trip to capital.
Being relieved from the year-end exam played a big role.
It was cheerful inside the carriage.
While slurping the grape wine I got on the way, I was enjoying the scenery from inside the carriage.
I feel like I am getting used to trips.
“You look like you’re having quite the fun.” said Iris, who was also on the carriage.
From the looks of it, she seems to be in a good mood as well. Although she refused the grape wine.
“Yep. It kinda felt like a drag before but, after we actually set out, I have started to feel more excited.”
Yep, I am pretty excited!
“I think I also feel kinda the same. Which reminds me, your year-end exam results were pretty good, weren’t they?”
Well, being complimented by Iris, who stood third, feels a bit awkward…
“Really? Thanks. But yours were even more amazing.”
“Well, since I am always studying, I guess. But I ended up thinking ‘is the anxiousness behind which you feel great happiness; It is actually the best kind of happy anxiousness in the world, kind of. Maybe.
However!
But the one I was feeling now was certainly not that.
What will I do if something happens?
I will probably have to duel with the prince or something.
And to Eliza, I guess apology?
Hmm, apology? Feels kinda different. Our relationship isn’t even like that.
But since I did feel like apologizing because of that, do I actually have that wish?
I don’t know! But what I do know is that, I will have to be in my senses tonight!
“You have a really good appetite, sir! We have a lot of garlic bread in stock today so shall I serve it? It will give you stamina!”
“I don’t need stamina!”
Darn it, these waiters! What are you trying to push on me?!
Keep your service mind to a level! But I do hope you guys prosper!
“Mmm, is that so? Ah, then, for you specially, I shall serve the dried poisonous insect insides! If you eat it after a meal, your stamina will increase!”
“Like I said, it is okay! I don’t need stamina!”
Darn it, these waiters! Burning with unnecessary service spirit!
But service spirit is important! I hope you prosper!
This is bad, when I take the conversation that way, I end up thinking of stuff.
I should drink some soup and calm down.
Mmm, this soup has a great taste.
“Ohh, that soup is made by crushing the liver of an animal to provide a distinct taste! It will give you good stamina!”
You waiters!!!
You have already done your service, I see! You shall prosper!
It is getting crowded really quick, after all!
Iris was also gulping down the soup.
Is that okay….
After eating, we decided to take a walk per my suggestion.
It was to calm myself.
“Night in the capital is pretty bright, isn’t it? This is still just the edge of the capital but it’s still so lively with all the people.”
“Yep, it really feels like a city.”
“I feel good after taking a walk. I will probably have a good sleep today.”
Good sleep?!
Ah, no.
I feel like my head’s rudder is pointing at a weird direction.
After walking a bit, Iris suggested whether we should go back or not so we decided to head back.
Step by step, the inn draws closer.
And then, we arrived in front of the inn.
“Ah, Iris. I will come in after smoking one.”
“Eh, you smoke?!”
“Ah, no, no. I will go hook up there or something, so you go ahead.”
“Ehh?! Since when?!”
“That, is not it. I will be doing some muscle training so, you can go back ahead.”
“Muscle training?! What happened? Did you want to walk a bit longer? But it’s getting late, you know.”
“…… Yes, let’s get in.. shall we?”
Tomorrow, we hunt monsters.
I need to rest my body today but my head is just filled with weird thoughts.
When I entered the room, Iris had already got into bed in her pajamas.
I will be too embarrassed to sleep without my shirt here! I guess beautiful people are like that, huh? Looking smooth even when they sweat.
It isn’t like I am curious or anything but…. or rather I am actually very curious. Eh, am I actually pretty maiden-like?
While I was getting worked up with all that in my head alone, I could hear Iris’ sleeping breath from the next bed already.
She had fallen asleep before I realized.
When I saw that peaceful face, my stupid thoughts also disappeared.
I should also sleep. It feels like we need to be up quick early too.
After that, I also fell asleep.
I received 5 punches to the stomach by Eliza in my dreams. That is probably my unconscious mind at work.
