VOLUME 9 CHAPTER 156: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS THE SIEGE OF XINYE (5)

Liu Bei POV

“Umm… Why aren’t you resting in your room?” I asked somewhat stiffly as I rather unnaturally rested my hands on my waist. I then felt like I looked a little silly doing this and decided to let them down beside my body.

“Un, I’ve been feeling better lately.” Yi De nodded with a smile. She does indeed look a lot better.

“Is your body alright?”

“I am fine, look~” She said as she did a flexing action. Her intent is probably to show how healthy she is but she looks really cute doing that. It’s a sort of cuteness that the previous Yi De never exuded. The sort of feeling she gives off includes a bit of shyness and energy.

“Ah, un. That’s good then.” I said and turned away, feeling overwhelmed by her cuteness, “I-I was actually going to look for you and ask how you were doing.”

“Many thanks for my lord’s concern.” Yi De nodded and bowed. I feel a little weird being treated so formally bu her but I have gotten used to it by now and nodded in response.

“Umm, I came to find my lord for something actually.” She said as her smiled faded away and her expression returned to its usual calm state.

“Un? What is it? Is there something you want to buy?”

“No, that’s not it.” She said as she waved her hands dismissively, “Firstly, I came here to return this to my lord.”

As she said so, she turned around and pa.s.sed me a small bag. It was not big and it did not seem like there was something big or solid inside either.

“This is…” I said as I took it. It was very light and seemed to contain something that felt like clothing.

“This is… The coat that my lord lent to me before…”

Ah… Yes, I did indeed lend her my coat back then. I did not think that I would ever get it back nor was I planning on asking for it.

“I’ve been wanting to return it to my lord for a while now but my lord has been very busy of late so there was no chance…” Yi De said as she turned away and blushed, “Ah, please don’t worry. I’ve washed it already.”

Haha, that really is a waste– No, I did not think of that at all. Please do not suspect me of that.

“Ah, un.” I nodded again, unsure of what to say, “Thanks.”

“… Un.” Yi De then turned back and nodded at me as she gave me a faint smile. It’s really difficult to express what that faint smile ignited in me but I have to say it gives me a special feeling.

“Ah… And…” Just then, Yi De spoke up again, “About the battle…”

“If you’re asking about the battle, then you don’t need to be worried, Yi De. Everything has been arranged.” I smiled in an attempt to rea.s.sure her as I continued, “Yi De should rest more if you are not feeling well. Everyone knows that you–”

“… No.” Yi De frowned and stood upright as she interrupted me, “I want to partic.i.p.ate in the upcoming battle.”

“Eh?” I uttered in surprise as I looked her over, “Is your body alright?”

“Un, I’m perfectly fine.” Yi De immediately replied.

For a moment, I thought that she had regained her memories when she replied me. But when I took a closer look at her, I really could not sense the unwavering aura of a warrior from her pet.i.te and weak body which means her memories have not returned. If that’s the case…

I found myself at a loss as how to respond
