Chapter 27 (1/2)
From Now On
When I opened my eyes I could see the faces of Luluna, Patricia, and Tsurugi staring at me.
”Ah, he woke up!”
”…….Oh, did I pa.s.s out?”
I sit up while holding my hand to my head.
”Is there anywhere that hurts?”
Three people are thoroughly examining my body.
”Wai-!? I-It's fine. I'm alright!”
”Ah, Lute……Are you embarra.s.sed?”
Of course, I'm shy! I'm a healthy young man after all! This stimulation is too much for me!
”Lute is a perverted old man kero~”
”Perverted old man~”
”Aren't you being too cruel!? I'm going to cry!”
As they were teasing me, Elgil approached with his cloak fluttering behind him.
I wonder if he was waiting for me to wake up.
”You look well, Lute-kun.”
”Elgil, are you okay?”
”Ah, I wasn't hurt too badly.”
”Really? I can't tell which one of us actually won the fight….”
I compare my own condition to Elgil's and say this, but Elgil just shook his head.
”This time, I was completely defeated. To think that the winner was more damaged than the loser, but……You were cool, Lute-kun.”
”Thanks, Elgil.”
”I'm going to need to train harder……but, still, I regret it so much! Next time I definitely won't lose to yoooouuuuu……!”
Elgil ran off somewhere screaming this.
”At least he's keeping his narcissism fresh.”
Indeed he is.
”Anyway, at least you were able to win.”
”I think I had a good deal of luck with me, but……I could hear everyone cheering for me.”
It may be a bit embarra.s.sing to say so, but it's the truth. Without everyone here, I would've lost.
”That's good to hear. It means my cheering actually helped and Luluna has been praying constantly for you for a while now.”
”I was just praying that you wouldn't get hurt too badly.”
”You don't need to explain yourself.”
Luluna scratches her cheek while showing a shy expression. She's so cute.
Then, Patricia jumped up and raised her hand.
She looks rather cool while holding her hood down and jumping in the air.
”Me too~ me too~”
I wonder if Patricia was also praying for me.
If so, I'm thankful to all of them.
”Right, thank you, Patricia.”
When I thanked her, Patricia laughed coyly.
”Kerokero, I also prayed to the tree frogs kero~”
She even went beyond my expectations.
By the way, is that actually effective?
”Ah, thanks.”
Even though I'm a little puzzled, I still thank her.
Patricia pulls her hood down and says,
”Gerogero, kerokero, Geroppa kerokero!”
”I'm sorry but I don't understand at all.”
I think that I need an interpreter to understand her properly.
”Yo. You did your best out there, Lute.”
From somewhere nearby, I could hear Bagiran's voice.
”Oh, Sensei.”
”It was a good match; that last move, in particular, was amazing. So, how about training with me from now on.”
”I don't know what you mean, Sensei.”
I definitely don't want to do that. I'm not a cyborg so there's no way I can keep up with him.
