126-Episode 126: The moment of calming down




 After having dinner with Fee, we decided to go indoors and relax....

'Fee. Aren't you going back to your room?
Oh, I'm not allowed to stay the night?
Well, no, I don't mind.

 So Fee will be staying in my room. We're always together so it doesn't feel too different, but then again, this is a problem for a lot of reasons...? But I guess that's really a new thing.

"Elle. Can I borrow your shower first?
Yeah.

 With that, Fee headed to her bedroom to take a shower. Fee is a clean person and often takes a bath. I've heard that she takes a bath three times a day when she's not busy.

 Until now, there was no time to properly relax because of the kingdom's civil war, but the fact that I had some time to relax for the first time in a long time made me feel better.

''Hmm........''

 I let myself fall back into the couch. Then I suddenly think back on what I've been through. This whole thing has really been a lot of work. But as I said to Fee before, I'm going to take it easy in the kingdom for a while from now on.

 As for the labyrinth, Leif and the others said that they would proceed with it. I've been busy with the labyrinth and the civil war in the kingdom, but I finally have time to do something about it.

 From now on, I'll work on my vegetable research, as well as other agricultural research. Plus we should take good care of the prototypes and Nos. 1 through 4.

 Well.... yeah. Yeah, but.........I'm really tired.......

 And while thinking that, I found myself falling asleep on the sofa as it was.


"Elle.......... What's the matter with you, Elle? Why don't you stop sleeping in here and go to your bedroom?
Hmm? Oh I'm sorry. I must have fallen asleep.

 It was only for a few moments, but apparently I had fallen asleep. I've never been able to sleep so relaxed before. It seems that she had fallen asleep on the sofa, partly because she had settled down for the night.

 A closer look revealed that Fee's hair was slightly damp. It's always a good idea to take a bath for about 30 minutes to an hour, so maybe the time has passed. Then he checked the time on the clock again and stretched out gingerly.

'What do we do now? Are you going to sleep like this?
No. I'm gonna take a bath.
Yeah. Well, I'll just stay a little slower.
Yeah.

 And so I headed to take a shower. The hot water wakes me up, but my body is still tired. I can still feel a faint sense of drowsiness lingering in my body.

'I'm up,'
You're still early.
Really?
Yeah.

 And I wanted to sleep right away, so I headed for my bedroom.

'Then I'm going to bed.'
Yeah. Good night.
You better get some sleep, Fee.
I know.

 I said a few light words to Fee, and he slowly fell into a slow slumber.
