Chapter 85 I Guess Were Getting Along Better, Right? (1/2)
It’s the second night since I came to Rigforeshia, and tomorrow is the harvest festival where I’m participating in, and I want to rest already for the incoming day…… I don’t know if it’s because I got lots of sleep in the daytime, or perhaps because I fainted earlier, but I can’t sleep.
Just when I was thinking about getting some evening breeze, there’s a somewhat reserved knock on the door.
[Yes.]
I reflexively replied, but I received no reply.
Under normal circumstances, I might have been distrusting when someone suddenly knocks on my door at night, but with my Sympathy Magic, I know who’s visiting me.
[What’s the matter? Sieg-san.]
[………………]
I didn’t receive any answer after her knock because the one knocking was Sieg-san.
It’s almost time for the date to change, but when I asked her what she wanted, Sieg-san made a small motion with her hand.
[Are you going for a stroll? Yeah, I also couldn’t get some sleep.]

[……………….]
I don’t know if Sieg-san also couldn’t get some sleep either or she’s just wide awake, but she asked me if I wanted to go for a stroll.
Since I was about to get some night breeze anyway and I wouldn’t have to worry about anything with her around, I nodded in response to Sieg-san’s invitation.
I walk side by side with Sieg-san through the streets of Rigforeshia, which are lit by moonlight.
In front of us is a glowing sphere-shaped magic tool…… An item that was apparently called a Portable Illumination Magic Tool which was often used to light up one’s path.
It’s just like the flashlights in our world, but this magic tool doesn’t need to be held in your hand, and you can adjust the direction it shines, making this one more efficient.
After walking for a while, we arrive at a place that is like a plaza, and Sieg-san prompts me to sit on a bench there.
Sieg-san also came to sit next to me like it’s normal, as her red ruby-like hair faintly gleamed with the illumination magic tool, my heart can’t help but skip a bit at her beauty from looking at her from her side.
The night in Rigforeshia is very quiet, and the occasional breeze caressing my cheeks feels pleasant.
After a brief moment of silence, I suddenly thought of something and called out to Sieg-san.

[Speaking of which, Sieg-san. I have been able to thank you properly. For saving me, thank you v—— Eh?]
[……………]
I was going to properly thank her for protecting me from the Black Bear’s attack, but as I was speaking, Sieg-san held up her index finger in front of my face and interrupted me.
Then, she shook her head a few times, and after taking out a memo pad and pen from her pocket, she wrote something on it.
“I think it should rather be me who’s thanking you. Kaito-san, thank you very much. Thanks to you, I was able to restore my strained relationship with Lili to how it was back then.]
[Ah, no, I didn’t really do anything to……]
I only said what I thought at that time, and I think the reason why Sieg-san and Lilia-san were able to restore their relationship is because she sincerely thought about her when she scolded her.
So, I replied that I didn’t particularly do anything in particular, but Sieg-san shook her head again and began writing on her memo pad.
“I needed someone to push me. And you were the one who pushed me forward. Humility may be a virtue, but you should understand when to receive compliments.]
[……Yes.]

“……However, I’d like you to be a bit careful about something.”
[Be careful? What of?]
After writing up to that point, Sieg-san holds out a note with the rest of what she’s trying to say while looking at me with her beautiful blue eyes.
“I know that the method you used earlier can’t be helped but…… please don’t be too reckless.”
[……………….]
“You being injured makes me sad…… so I hope you’ll take care of yourself.”
[……Yes.]
After scolding me like I’m her naughty younger brother, Sieg-san looks at me with a gentle expression on her face, and I give her my firm reply.
Nodding after she heard my reply, Sieg-san then softly smiled and wrote some more in her memo pad.
“……Kaito-san. Can I…… borrow your shoulder for a moment?”

[My shoulder? Ah, yes. I’m fine with it but……]
“In that case, please excuse me.”
[Wha!? S- Sieg-san!?]
