124 He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake (1/2)

Love it? It's not even that creative of a name? ”You...like the name Leopard?”

”Yeah! I've never heard of that name before. So it's a unique name just for me!”

...Am I going crazy or do leopards not exist in this world...ohhhh, Wait I think I get it. In this kind of war torn continent, what kind of animals would be able to survive?

After a couple more questions, they leave to let me rest. Theres only one problem with this arrangement. I CANT SLEEP. Not in this body at least, but I didn't tell them yet because I didn't want to worry Leopard for no reason.

So here I am, eyes open, staring at the ceiling of the tent in a dark room while every else is sleeping. I try to restrain my boredom but after a couple of hours it finally wins.

I used to be able to go days and nights just staring at a wall in my main body until one of the ikemen dropped by, but I guess I got used to being busy, because I think I would go crazy if I had to stay in one spot for that long.

I start trying to move my body to get off the bed, but every slight movement will cause a shot of pain to spread through my entire body. I eventually manage to get out from under the blanket that was on top of me. I look down at my body to see that my external wounds have healed slightly.

Good, good, but I don't know how long it's going to take to heal my internal injuries and I'm not sure how long I'll be able to deal with this pain without going crazy.

I would try to move out of bed but honestly, I've already pushed myself to the limit. I feel extremely exhausted, physically and mentally, but I can't fall asleep, this is literal torture. I lay in the darkness, listening to my heavy panting amount the silence.

”You're never gonna heal like that, or maybe it wouldn't matter anyhow, seeing as you're a tree and all.” A voice suddenly fills up the silence. I flinch in surprise as I look around the room. In a corner I notice a pair of peach blossom eyes. The light blue eyes stare at me lazily before coming closer.

”They told you about the tree thing?” I try to fill some of the silence that returned after Fedora-San finished talking.

”So, what's my nickname.” He ignores my question , lying down on the other side of the bed and yawning.
