Chapter 12.2

PART II

[Haa~, I think I can do it if it’s just lifting him up, though.]

[How about you practice first? Once you’ve got the hang of it, it might be fine.]

[No, I want to walk with my own legs.]

I won’t be partic.i.p.ating in any practice, okay!? Also, Serge, don’t go suggesting weird things!

But Rafael had no plans to give up.

[It might be necessary in case of emergency, you know?] (Rafael)

[And that’s why I think it’s much better if I practice running with my own feet instead.] (Sheryl)

[Won’t it take some time?] (Rafael)

[Ugh…] (Sheryl)

[Alright, we’re going to start practicing once we get back to the dorm.] (Rafael)

[….I don’t need to go with you, right?] (Sheryl)

[I don’t plan on carrying anyone else but you.] (Rafael)

Eeh~.

If it’s practice, I think it would be better to find someone with the same weight or the same build as me.

And why is Welmina doing the guts pose, I wonder? Looking at the girl who’s carrying the wheelchair being suddenly pleased, this time my eyes have settled.

His Highness, who noticed Welmina carrying my wheelchair through my gaze, held out his hand.

[I’ll carry it.]

[N-n-n-no! I can carry this much!]

Welmina probably did not expect Rafael to call out to her as she refused him in a panic and just like that fled up the stairs towards the cla.s.sroom.

Hey, leave the wheelchair behind!

[Should I just carry you up to the cla.s.sroom?]

[I can walk by myself so please put me down.]

Even though I think he’s listening to me properly, I told Serge in a pleading tone.

[Then I will properly escort you this time.]

[Even though I can walk by myself.]

[Isn’t it because you turned me down in the cla.s.sroom?]

Just what was wrong with the decision I made?

Serge let me down after climbing the stairs, in exchange, Rafael extends his hand. I wonder if putting his arm around my waist is a default setting?

[Huu, you’re still not used to it?]

[I would like to see someone get used to it, if there’s one.]

[Do you feel nervous?]

When I glared at him by reflex, he laughed at me and told me I wasn’t scary.

If that’s the case, I should’ve told him how I honestly felt that time.

I don’t particularly think about anything with regards to Serge…. is not the case, even though there’s nothing to be excited about in this situation.

Was the impact too strong when we first met?

[That reminds me, your face also turned red when we talked about the pen.]

Are we going back to that topic now!?

[You can forget about it.]

[I shouldn’t have touched your body at that time, what was wrong?]

[….Please forget about it, I beg you.]

It’s because it’s my first time having a matching pen with someone else! When I think of it I feel kind of ticklish and kind of embarra.s.sed!

It’s definitely not because I projected the pen that has my initials as myself as it was being caressed!

[Sheryl’s every reaction is always refres.h.i.+ng.]

[I don’t think so at all, though….]

Is it limited to just me?

I think anybody would become like this if Rafael touches them.

As was still not convinced about it, Serge joined the conversation.

[Rather than say you’

re naive, I’d say you’re obedient. There seems to be times when you act out what you think, and the n.o.bles that are watching you being honest to yourself get muddled which is good for us.]

[What’s with that?]

Serge’s laugh leaked out as he says “It’s fine”.

Rather than saying that I suck at getting on with the world, I guess I really am just not used to it, exchanging conversations with other n.o.bles.

[Perhaps I should say we’re being healed…. right?]
