Chapter 509: Can I Get a Take-Two? (1/2)

As I was feeling puzzled by the unexpected emotions coming from Zwei-san, she lightly shook her head, as if to regain her composure, and walked in front of me.

Perhaps, she had already suppressed her magic power, as I couldn't read Zwei-san's emotions anymore.

[……My apologies, Miyama-sama. I ended up showing you something unsightly.]

[Ah, no, that's okay……]

Hmmm, looking at her like this, I can't help but feel as if the emotions I just felt were just my imagination. The sharp-eyed Zwei-san, just like earlier, started glaring at me again.

Her cool and polite manner of speaking also added to the sharpness of the atmosphere, but I didn't feel the same fear I felt like before.

[……Ummm, Zwei-san. This might be sudden, but I have a favor to ask.]

[Yes? What is it?]

[……This might be rude, but can you please stop suppressing your magic for a few moments?]

[……I understand.]

Despite my sudden request, Zwei-san immediately complied and released the magic power she had been suppressing. Thereupon, the emotions I could feel with my Sympathy Magic…… were affection so heavy that I thought it would crush me.

A- As expected, it really was feelings of affection…… Rather than hating, she held a surprising amount of affection towards me.

……Her eyes were still glaring at me but…… arehh?

What is this? I don't know what's happening anymore. When I realized that Zwei-san had affectionate feelings for me, it had also contradicted everything I've been thinking.

I had thought that Zwei-san had come along to keep an eye on us and making sure that me, someone whose origin is unknown, wouldn't mess with her family…… That hypothesis fell apart when I learned about Zwei-san's current emotions.

[……Ummm, errr, Zwei-san.]

[Yes?]

[……Why did you decide to come with us?]

When I boldly asked her this, Zwei-san looked left and right for a bit, making sure that Raz-san and the others were away, before she whispered.

[……It might be impertinent of me, but since Miyama-sama didn't seem to be looking well…… I thought of accompanying you so that I could be there to support you when you needed it.]

[………………..]

Errr, does that mean that because I was scared of Zwei-san, my face turning pale and breaking out in a cold sweat, Zwei-san assumed that I wasn't feeling well and the situation became like this?

And then, since I would be going around the festival with Raz-san and the others, she didn't want my health to deteriorate, so she went out of her way to accompany us so that she could help me right away…… Errr, that means, what Zwei-san was ”worried about” was my health……

What should I do, she only has good intentions in her mind…… Just thinking about the frightening thoughts I had in my mind, like how she may be thinking of getting rid of me, I'm feeling extremely guilty now, you know!?

[……Miyama-sama? Are you alright? You really look pale. I'll talk to Razelia and the others, so why don't you get some rest?]

[…………………….]

Her eyes are still glaring at me. But the words that come out of her mouth and the emotion I could feel from here is just pure concern for me.

[……Ummm…… errr…… Zwei-san.]

[Yes?]
