155 CHAPTER III COLLECTION OF MATERIALS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME ① (2/2)

Well, it's a good thing I woke up on time. Well, let's get ready. Oh, by the way, is Belle awake?　Normally, it's a time that doesn't happen: ......

Now that I think about it, I forgot to tell you what time I got up.

I was so busy thinking about getting up that I just forgot.

I wondered what I should do, but I changed my clothes and went out of the room.

Hmmm. I guess no one else is awake. Well, what choice do I have? Let's go to Belle's room: ......

I walked down the corridor, with no sign of anyone awake and only a golem of guards wandering around, to Belle's room .

''Come to think of it, this is the first time I've been in Bell's room, including the dormitory room and the imperial mansion .

Saying this, I knocked.

Knock.

Belle. Are you awake?

I tried calling the bell at the door, but there was no response.

Yeah, this one's sleeping. .......

I don't know what to do. Sorry to bother you.

I might get mad at you later for going in there without permission, but I got up so early in the morning, I'm not going to waste my time waiting for the bell to wake up!

When I entered the room, I could hear him sleeping from the bed in the corner of the room.

Oh, I knew she was asleep. You look so cute asleep.

I walked over to the side of the bed to see who was sleeping, and it was that cute little Belle.

Okay, let's wake her up. But still, Belle's room is neat and tidy: ......?

I was about to say that Belle's room must be tidy with no extra stuff in it, as per her serious nature, but then I saw the pictures on the wall and the things on the shelves .

This is definitely someone I shouldn't have seen.

”My ...... figure, right?　And that's a picture of me. When did you take this one?

It's scary to see several of my figures on a shelf.

Maybe Elsie got them from her creation magic practice, but this is scary .

There's also a framed photo ...... of Belle crying and me consoling her at the beginning of her dorm life.

I'm sure Elsie is the culprit behind this one too, but ...... since when did she ask her mentor for a camera?

It hadn't been that long since you hadn't seen Elsie, had it?

There's some pretty godd*mn scary stuff about me in there.

There are other clothes on the shelves and on the desk that I no longer wear ...... No, I didn't see anything .

'Yeah, let's pretend I didn't see anything and wake up the bell.

I turned away from the shelves and the desk and went back to my bed.

'Belle, wake up,'

'Unn...... Dear Leo?　Mm-hmm. It smells like Leo~

I shook my body as I called his name, and Belle clung to me, making a noise that I didn't know if she was awake or not.

'Oh, hey!　Wait!　She's chewing on it!　Because you're biting me!

I'm pretty sure he's not asleep at the wheel!　I mean, it hurts like hell to have a canine tooth sticking in me!

We sleep together sometimes, but it wasn't such a bad sleeping habit!

A few minutes later

'Ugh, I'm finally freed: ......

In front of Belle's room, I waited for her to finish dressing while I used holy magic to heal her shoulder where her teeth had been stuck.

It's not ...... hard to get Belle to wake up.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

All right, I'm feeling better. Don't let this happen to you. ......

You were injured before you went to the Devil's Forest.

He had it coming. What do you think you're doing, sneaking into a sleeping girl's room!

As I was checking my shoulder, a disgruntled Belle came out of the room.

I guess it wasn't a good idea to go into the room without permission.

”Because ......

Yeah, I can't think of any excuse.

Because it's not like this.　For that matter, did you look inside the ...... room or something?

Yeah, this is a bad guy to say you saw that.

Mr. Bell, your eyes are freaking me out.

In the room?　What's going on?　It was so dark I couldn't see anything.

I feel like this was one of the best performances I've ever given.

No, no. If you didn't see it, it's okay. Are you sure you didn't see it?

Uh-huh.

Miss Bell, your face is close.

Especially under the bed.

We're under the bed?

There was something under the bed too!　I mean, there were more bad things hidden under the bed than shelves and desks!

'What's wrong with your face and under the bed?　It says: ....... I knew you saw the rest of it?

Ah!　I'm so shocked, I can't believe I just showed my face!

...... Yeah, let's reopen this one.

'No, I didn't see anything, and I don't remember anything.

Yeah, all I remember is Belle's sleeping face.

Yeah, ...... okay. I'll let that slide this time.

Apparently, they're going to take steps to say 'I didn't see it' .

Well, I'm sure it would be embarrassing for Bell to see that one: .......

Oops, I didn't see anything .

And I heard a muffled ”Thank God. I'm glad they didn't see me. If you had seen me under the bed, I would have locked Leo up somewhere.
