Chapter 9 (2/2)
And so, the earth goleer moved as well as I wanted it to Overjoyed, Katarina that was approaching the earth goleoleer control
Katarina’s tiny body flew in the air Without even slowing down, Katarina slaround head-first
After the servants got a doctor to check up on Katarina, it seeot a bump on head, with no serious injuries
That’s what Duke Claes, who had been watching over Katarina worriedly, told me
“I arbitrarily broke the pro is my fault Please, by all means, punish me I’m truly very sorry I don’t mind even if you drive me out of this family”
Duke Claes looked at entle eyes
“About this incident, after Katarina wakes up, I also have to hear about it from her Let’s continue this after Katarina wakes up Keith, your complexion looks terrible, as if you could fall over any ht now, you should also return to your room and rest”
As he said so, Duke Claes urged me to my room
That night, I was sincerely relieved to hear that Katarina aith no probleo see her immediately, I can’t…… I was afraid……
When the next day arrived, I couldn’t move from my roo here
Around the time that breakfast would end
“Keith It’s me Katarina Since you didn’t come for breakfast, are you in bad shape?”
Katarina came in front of my room
“……Nee-san”
I replied on reflex
“Yes, it’s , Keith? Does your stomach hurt? Are you okay?”
Even though she alot seriously injured because of me, Katarina still seemed worried about me
“Nothing’s wrong with me More importantly, are nee-san’s injuries okay?”
“Yep, I’m fine It’s just a little bu to say May I come in?”
I was relieved to hear Katarina sounding so energetic In truth, I want to see her face right now, but……
“I’m sorry You can’t”
“Wh, What?”
“I can’t stay by nee-san anymore”
I really really want to see her face now The last time I saw her, she had lost her consciousness and her head was limp I want to see her when she’s healthy
But, I cannot stay by Katarina anymore
If a ic at any tiain I don’t want to hurt this friendly Katarina that taught s anymore
Katarina was talking a lot outside my room, but I just stayed in my bed, curled up into a ball
I had been living alone in inally anyways And if I’m by myself… I won’t hurt anyone important to me anymore
After a while, I couldn’t hear Katarina’s voice anymore
She probably gave up onto her and returned to her room
As I was thinking that absentmindedly…
“Keith If you’re close to the door right now, get away from the door”
I heard Katarina’s voice again after I thought she had already given up
By itself, the door that had been locked wassound, then broke At the entrance, for so there with a desperate face while holding an ax I just looked at her while stunned, and she came inside the room And then……
“I’m so sorry about yesterday!!”
Katarina kneeled in front of my bed and bowed her head until it hit the bed
“Unreasonably asking you to use ic you could not control yet, I’ and trying to touch the earth gole you worry!!”
I got out of bed, and crouched next to Katarina
“……Why is nee-san apologizing…… It was all my fault……”
“What are you saying? It was my fault! Because I asked such an unreasonable request of Keith!”
Why, is this person still cos like this? She should be scared of ot injured…… And yet……
“……Nee-san isn’t scared of me?”
“Scared?”
“……In ic And this ti, I can’t control it properly ……Because I can’t controlpeople ……Nee-san isn’t scared of me?”
I even told her aboutclose to me anymore
I was scared That I ht hurt Katarina…… And, even more than that, that Katarina would have eyes full of fear towards me like reatest fear
Then, I looked properly into Katarina’s eyes for the first time since she had come into the room If, there was fear in her eyes……
I aiting for Katarina’s next words with bated breath
“……Oh, so it was so like this~~”
The words were so unexpected, that I involuntarily raised ht blue eyes
“If you can’t control yourit now Since our ic together with me?”
Katarina said so with no fear in her eyes and a sentle
“……Nee-san still wants to be with me?”
“Of course! I’ll always be with you”
Being alone was so sad and painful…… I alanted someone to be with ot close to me would only call ht nobody would ever be with iven up……
The girl in front of me had said with a smile, that she’ll be with me forever
“As such, even if so, in the future don’t shut yourself in your roo?”
Katarina had a surprised voice as she anxiously peered at my face When I touchedfro
Before I had always cried silently in my room Tears had always flohen it was lonely or painful Crying to the point where my chest hurt, it was painful And yet……
So about these tears As I cried, the ot I learned for the first time that tears also come out when I’m happy
Katarina was peeping at entle hand
While feeling her warirl na as it is permitted
I will train ic, and learn how to properly control it And, I want to stand by her side one day and be able to protect her
