250 245 words Sleep deprivation (1/2)
”Nemei......”
The wind was ringing all last night, and the windows were rattled and frankly scared to sleep.
The sound of hiccup stirs up anxiety somewhere.
”Morning. Are you okay? I don't think I slept much yesterday.”
”It's okay. I could sleep in the morning.”
”Let's just report Snow to the guild today, shall we take it slow”
”Yeah.”
By gently exercising a body that feels a little weak, I delude myself and go to the ground floor to get breakfast.
As you enter the dining room, you will see the people staying at the inn gathering to talk.
”” Good morning ””
When I greeted him as he passed next door, each returned a greeting.
I head straight to my seat, but Mr. Druid joins the circle where we are gathered.
The adventurers staying at the inn exchange the information they each have during their morning greetings.
I'm still a child, so I can't participate.
So the morning exchange of information became Mr. Druid's morning job.
”Good Morning”
I greet Mr. Dora, who is distributing breakfast, and sit in a chair.
We're all always in the same place.
”Morning, last night was awesome, but could you sleep? Sounds like you couldn't do it.”
Mr. Dora looked at my face and laughed bitterly.
Do you look that bad?
When I looked in the mirror in the morning, the neighborhood was ready.
”Do you look that bad?
I get a little worried and ask.
”In the neighborhood under my eyes, and my complexion is worse than usual. You okay? You got a sore throat or chills?
Think a little, but shake your neck sideways because there's nothing particularly wrong with it.
”Tell me if you're not feeling well at all”
”Yes, thank you”
Should I keep Flem's potion?
Let's talk to Mr. Druid.
”What's up?
”He looked pale, and I was worried he might have caught a cold”
”Sure, it's a little darker than usual. Later...... we'll talk later”
Somehow I wondered if Mr. Druid also remembered Flem's potion, but Mr. Druid shrugged his shoulder when he realized it wasn't something he could talk about here.
Have breakfast and ask if you have any information.
”I hear there are adventurers in this village who deliver meat to other villages and towns four times in January, and they are interrupting word from adventurers who were due back two days ago. He said he had some protection against the cold, but he didn't seem to have thought of the cold so far. There's going to be a search party.”
”Really?”
Reminds me of yesterday's chill.
There was supposed to be a fireplace in the room made of red demon stone and it was warmer than usual.
”Today, shall we go to the guild from lunch? You'll be busy in the morning.”
”Yeah.”
Speaking of which, did those who hadn't come home come back?
Looking over the dining room, I found the family in the furthest away place.
The kids have a pretty tired look.
But it seemed safe.
Back in the room, Sora and Flem had finished their meals, too.
”I'm going to the guild at lunch, but will you come with me?
Three people respond to my words with a pull.
That's cute.
”Shall we have some tea?”
If he didn't think Mr. Druid was here, he'd be ready for tea.
”Thanks”
”Oh, I was just talking to you.”
”Hmm?”
”Maybe I'll start catching a cold, so let's have a Frem potion”
If I fall, I worry, and my plans change.
Let's have it here to prevent it.
”Yeah. Flem, I'll have a potion.”
Flem, who was relaxing on the bed, opens his eyes all the time.
Strange to look cute even though you still have a bad eye.
”Teri ~”
... It rang like I was falling asleep, does this mean 'fine'?
When I look at Flem, my eyes, which I had been trying so hard to open, keep closing.
”Yes.”
