PART 3

[SHERYL’S POV]

[Honey, could you please be quiet?]

[Master, too much noise will be harmful to Sheryl-sama’s health.]

Nicole sure doesn’t show any mercy towards father’s loud voice. Though he certainly was noisy.

As he got scolded by the two of them while entering the room, Father got smaller.

[O, oh… that… How are you doing?]

[He has just woken up and was about to finish his fruit juice.]

[I see. Sheryl, it’s your father. Can you tell?]

A big hand clumsily pets my head.

Just by that, I felt like my tears are gonna flow down again.

There’s no way I’ll make a mistake with such a eye-piercing red head of yours, Father.

He must have hurried over from work as he’s still his Magic Knight’s uniform.

[After hearing that you’ve awaken, Jule will probably come home from the dormitory tomorrow. Please show that healthy appearance to your brother, as well.]

Judging by how quieck they’ve returned,it seems that I was in a pretty dangerous condition.

I hope that when Nii-sama comes home tomorrow, that the pain would have subsided.

I don’t want to experience again such pain as if my body is being torn apart. Even if it has happened a lot of times before.

I swayed my head to nod, but it’s a wonder whether it swayed vertically or not.

When I try to move too much, I start to become dizzy.

[You can’t push yourself so hard, ok? Sheryl, please rest your body in the bed. Mother will be right, okay?]

Father is here, too.]

[Honey should first get rid of your sweat first.]

[Uu, I understand.]

I am well aware that Father completely listens to Mother’s words.

Thinking back to when Nicole told him off, isn’t his standing to weak?

[Sheryl, I’ll come back right after I’ve freshen up, so you have to rest properly.]

[Master, please be quiet.]

Even so, that this is a family overflowing with love won’t change.

Including the servants, knowing that I have such gentle family was the one that’s been supporting my heart. Having seen the familiar atmosphere I’m used to, I selently closed my eyes.

[Good night, Sheryl. May you see sweet dreams.]

The next time I opened my eyes, Nii-sama who made my father look small, was there. Right next to the sleepng me.

He’s lying inside the bedsheets.

[Oh, Sehryl, you’re awake?]

Being directed such a dazzling smile, I pretended not to see the tears which has already dried in his cheeks.

Even though we’re blood-related, our physiques were completely different.

Even though his looks is still that of a teenager, the muscles in his arms could compare to that of an adult man’s.

Must be bbecause he was training his swordsmans.h.i.+p, ther’es small cut visible in his cheek.

As I was observing my brother who I haven’t seen in a long time, Nicole brought in a cloth and water.

[Sheryl-sama, please hydrate yourself.]

[Ah! Me! I’ll do it.]

[Please be careful not to spill it.]

[Yeah!]

Nii-sama who’s received the cloth from Nicole helped me get up.

Despite how he looks, those hands were as gentle as the ones I’m used to.

It seems like the time he’s been stuck with me wasn’t in vain.

And that Older Brother, bears no resemblance to the one I saw in the game.

Although his eyes still look sharp, but his expression is overflowing with kindness when he looks at me that I could not find any connection to him the one in the game.

[If it’s painful then you must say so, got it?]

[Okay…]

Although there’s still pain, but it’s not to the point where I need to cry because of it.
