41 The Incident in the Early Morning
When I opened my eyes in the morning, glittering gold curls and long eyelashes entered my eyes.
It was right in front of my eyes that I was shocked, and when I bent backward something hit my head. When I looked over my shoulder indigo hair and almond eyes were there.
It seems he woke up because I bumped into him, his light blue eyes opened and smiled.
[Rei, good morning.]
Towards Aleph's refreshing greeting even while lying in bed, I replied ‘good morning' while being bewildered.
Hm? Huh? I should have been done this and that by Ragna and Dy, why are they swapped with Aleph and Ciel?
I check my condition in shock. I was properly wearing my sleep-wear and felt relieved. Dy probably put it on like always.
I was squirming trying to get up, but I was being hugged by Aleph and Ciel that I couldn't raise my body.
[Do you want to get up already?]
Aleph reluctantly caressed my back and released his arms.
[Ciel, Rei has woke up.]
The swordsman calls out, but the elf doesn't move an inch as his breathing raises. His mouth is slightly open, exposing an angel's sleeping face.
[Haah, seriously… it's because you've been drinking until late last night, it's hard to wake up if you lack sleep.]
Aleph pulled Ciel's arms apart while grumbling, setting me free.
When the eastern sky was finally starting to brighten up outside the window, the sun still has not come up. When I opened the window, a light blue bird flew from the window frame.
When Aleph puts his hands together and muttered something, the light blue bird disappeared. Only the letter it was holding in its beak was left in its place.
Ooh, the bird just now was magic? The Holy Emperor also said he's going to send a letter, did he immediately send one?
When Aleph finished reading the letter, he disclosed its contents with a serious face.
[There are movements trying to capture us upon yesterday's activity. Honored Uncle himself is in the position of having to summon us to the castle, and if we don't want to get involved in the trouble, we'd better make haste to leave the city.]
[That, what is going to happen if we go after being summoned?]
[It will undoubtedly not finish with just the rewards, they will probably try to detain us by using various ways and employ us for the country. Even if Honored Uncle does not wish for it, the people around him probably won't let it go.]
‘That sounds like trouble', just as I was finding it tiresome, a lively voice that doesn't know how to read the mood came in from the door that was thrown open.
[Rei, Aleph, today is also a good day! If you're awake this early in the morning, could it be for your training? If so then let me join you as well.]
Noticing our deeply gloomy atmosphere, Ragna who understood the situation unhesitatingly made a decision.
[We're leaving the city immediately. The user of the ancient magic, supposedly wiped out by the former prince of the neighboring nation, is nothing but trouble. Furthermore, there's also Rei's enormous magic power. Just like the Holy Emperor's warning, it's better to flee before it becomes public.]
[You're right, that's for the best. Ciel, please wake up.]
When Aleph forcibly makes Ciel's body stand up, he tried to groggily crouch down to sleep so he made him stand up again.
Ciel finally woke up and dazedly listened to the circumstances, he prepared to depart drowsily.
He made eye contact with me on the side as he began taking off his sleepwear. He heavily blinked his green eyes and smiled as if a blooming flower.
[Good morning, Rei.]
He took me in his arms and kissed me on top of my nose. He continued to my cheeks and forehead and it feels like he's not going to let go any time soon so Aleph who didn't let it past peeled him off.
[If you keep nodding off then we'll leave you.]
He sternly scolded Ciel, and since I was also urgently getting ready, he hurriedly changed his clothes and packed his luggage.
Even though I said ‘prepare', we don't really have much to do since most of it is placed inside the space created with dark magic so we were able to depart immediately.
Since we don't have the time to leisurely eat breakfast, we call out to the inn's staff and depart.
Ciel also seemed to have gotten ahold of himself while changing his clothes, the absent-minded atmosphere was hidden, and he's back to his usual tsun self.
Even though he was being fluffy previously and was very cute, I want to see Ciel like that again.
Will I be able to see it if I wake him up in the morning?
While thinking such thoughts, we reached the end of the city.
The castle gate was also opened early and we were able to leave without any problem.
[Now then, Rei. Where do you want to go?]
Even if Aleph asks me that, I have no knowledge of this place's geography.
[I don't really have somewhere I want to particularly go, and those guys from the city might chase us persistently, so I guess it's better if it's far from here.]
Ragna struck his hands together with a *pon* after hearing what I said. (TN: Probably hits his palm with the underside of his fist just like in anime.)
[If that's so then we should go to my village. My hometown is in a remote place for humans, and it's conveniently located in Habartalt. I can return home and introduce you to my family, it's a good opportunity.]
[The Dragonians' village? That sounds interesting, let's go there!]
[I'm also fine with that.]
[It's decided then. Let's go.]
‘Dy, you don't mind either, right?' I call out to the bangle with my mind.
I thought he'd be asleep since it's morning, but he's unexpectedly awake and nonchalantly replied with, ‘It's fine.'.
And thus, it was unanimously decided that we will visit the Dragonians' village.
