Oh no, but you were tired.
I'm awake, but I can't get up.
Or maybe I'm just too heavy?　I'm not moving at all.

Haha, I've been unconsciously pushing myself.
You know, Aina's right. You really need to be careful.
Alright. Now that I've done my homework, I've got to get up early, take a bath and go check on her.
She's still in her lazy eyes, but get fired up. We'll get up on the first, second, third and fourth.
One, two, three!

Hmmm....

Oh..........
Oh that's not it.
My body is not heavy.
There's someone else on my body.
No, someone is not the right word for it.
There's only one person I know of with this massive volume.
Given the size of the area crushed against my chest, the softness, and this aggressiveness, the answer is immediately obvious.

'Wendy?'
A lift.

I opened my eyes and looked down to see Wendy covering me and turning her still awake eyes on me.

'Yes. Good morning.
Hmmm. Master's smell...
'Uh ... before I take a bath, can you please not smell me?'


No, that's not going to happen - I don't know how long it's been now, but a good adult hasn't had a bath for a whole day or so.
I'd like to take a bath right away if I could, because it might smell fragrant.

'Look, you need to wake up,'
Hmmm ... good morning ... hello?

Oh, he's awake and well awake this time.
But he's still on top of me.
When I finished checking the current situation after blinking my eyes, I hurriedly started to explain.

''Ah, well........well, she got a little bit better and fell asleep again, so I'm going to check on her instead, so you all told me to rest too, and I wondered if the master is resting properly?　I was worried that I'd come here--
She looks so comfortable sleeping, so while I'm watching her sleep, I'm going to...?
Yes.....

Wendy's cheeks are dyed and her face turns red, and I can't help but hug her tightly because I love her so much.
Huh ... good wake up.

''Um, I'm sorry for disturbing you while you were sleeping.......''
Not at all. It felt good.

And it feels good to be in the present.
I sincerely wish we could stay like this for a while, but unfortunately, a bath... yes.

"Do you want to go take a bath with me?
Yes.....

After this, we decided to use the transition to go to the hot spring alone with her.


'Well I have to change in my room, but if she's sleeping, is it okay?'

I didn't expect this carelessness to lead to such a thing.


Now, the most important thing in this case is still first contact.
I thought it was very important to show her how I wasn't an enemy to her.
In order to do so, I must first restore her health and meet her in a normal state of mind with a friendly face.

Especially!
He would have a fear of the human race, and as a man of the human race, I should have known that I would have to be very careful.
And yet!

Current situation.
Me -> One pair of pants and pants to the knee.
She -> She's staring at us.


That's it!
Is that too much to ask?　You can't do that!
I'm sorry Fried. Not only did I miss my promise, but I made them even more afraid of me!

Um... hey, weren't you sleeping?

I don't need to check, he must have been asleep.
I peeked through the door earlier, and when I went into the room to check it out about time, he was quietly breathing in his sleep!
Oh, why did I start changing in this room because she was asleep?

'I'm a light sleeper,'

That was it!
I thought you were sleeping soundly!
I was so wrong to let my guard down, thinking it would be quick!

Or rather, if it disappeared in transition the moment our gazes met, it might have been considered a dream vision of sorts.
The sudden event caused me to stop thinking........

''........Hey, why don't you lift your pants?''
'Yes!　I'm sorry to show you the dirty stuff!

That's right!　I think you should pull up your pants first!
He's going to jump!　I'll stop hurting you in a minute!

What does that mean?
...what?
No, um....are you sure you're okay...

I thought I could scream.
And I thought I was going to be pissed off at everyone gathered........

''..... To be honest, I'm scared. But you're the owner of this place, aren't you?
Well ... yeah. Yeah.
'Then you can't just scream...'

He seems awfully calm... or rather, he seems calm.
However, I can tell from his expression that he's pushing himself too hard, so let's leave as soon as possible.

''Huh........Nice to meet you. I'm Mizera. As you probably know, I'm a half-elf.
Ah, um...I'm Kazuki Oshinomiya. As I said before, I'm the owner of this place and I'm an alchemist.
Alchemist I guess I'm a lab animal now?
'No, I didn't mean to, but...'

I answered her question while tying the trouser strap, but that, I'm in a bit of a hurry to tie it than usual.......

''Then what does she mean by that...?　I'm telling you, if you touch me with evil intentions, I'll chatter.
I don't want to... well, why don't you just focus on getting well first?

Oh, he's tied up, he's tied up.
What are you going to do about it?

If it's not for physical purposes does that mean that this is an experiment that I can only endure if I regain my strength?
That's not it. You need to get in shape.



All right then. Master. Since you are my master, I will obey you......... But don't you think you'll run away as soon as you recover your strength?
Well, I suppose it's possible, but I suppose it's possible.

I heard she has a habit of running away from the last auction.
It's not like I'm going to hold her back.
But I don't have a jacket. All right, enough of this. Let's just walk out the door.

"You can run if you want to. I'm not going to follow you. But, at least, you can take a look at it for a while.
How's it going?
Yeah. What I'm like, what I'm like, what it's like to live here. I can understand why you'd be weirdly suspicious if you're mainly of the male race. Now, I can tell you one thing: I'll give you this hand if you want it.

After saying that, I walk out of the room with my top half naked.


........dangerous!
I made it!　Wendy said that someone was checking on her, so if she wasn't in the room, she must have been out of the room for some kind of thing.

I'm sure she'd be pissed if she saw that situation!
If you're angry in front of her, there's no dignity or reaching out to her or anything else!
You can't expect them to believe a word I say in my misery.

And it seems that they can manage to communicate with each other.
To be honest, I thought there was a chance that she would be distraught as soon as she saw the man, but.......
However, it seemed to be quite overwhelming........

".........What are you doing with your upper body naked, husband?
Yikes!
You're not...doing anything weird with Mizera, are you?
What? I didn't do anything!　It was hot out of the bath and I just happened to be cooling down!

I couldn't stop sweating cold and my eyes were swimming as Renge was staring at me with suspicion.

''Well if you're going to do a cool down, you'd better wipe your sweat off quickly. Or, if it's getting hotter anyway, you could work out outside, couldn't you?　And there's Aina and Sorte outside.
Oh, yeah? So I'll do it.

Anything to get away from this place right now!
All right, let's get in shape!

Yeah, Wendy had her jacket with her.
I see. So it wasn't... haha!
I won't keep you in the dark, so you'll be alone with me in the bathroom after your training.
Okay.
You promise?

I was trapped.......or was it obvious?
Well, if it's just the two of us in the bath, it's a lot cheaper.
It's a good thing for me.

In that case, I'm going to go get squeezed a lot.
When I get tired, I'll have Renge wash me.

'Huh?　Good morning, Lord. Are you going to train?
Good morning. Do you mind if I mingle?
'Fine, but don't you have any other plans for today?'
It's a tight fit. So just go get your asses kicked.

I don't have a delivery schedule for a while, and I haven't made an appointment with anyone.
Normally I would have thought of time to spare for magical training, but since I can't use it, I have more time than I thought I would have.
You can turn that amount of time into training your body once in a while.

It's a lot of guts. Then let's go with a mock battle from the very beginning.
Oh. Wait a minute, I'll get the manaiter out.

The Manaita is a single-edged sword I use in mock battles.
When it touches a living organism, the blade's body becomes an astral body, so it can't cut the opponent.
However, it is a weapon that has the ability to suck the magic of an opponent it touches and return it to its owner.

Aina and the others can stop an inch, but I don't have that kind of skill.
Even though it can be used to strike each other and Aina and the others are stronger, it was the perfect equipment for me, a chicken who is afraid of hurting their bodies, even if a billion dollars are involved.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. So, come with me, master.
Oh, go easy on me no, but sometimes you have to be serious.
Then make me do it.
'Don't tell me...'

I pounce on the manaiter's back with his back on my shoulder, but Aina and Sorte break my losing streak.

Later, as I look up at the sky, out of breath, Shiro appears with a look of expectation on his face, and my losing streak is broken again.
I was completely unable to move that day, leaving Renge to take care of me entirely, but Renge seemed to be enjoying himself, taking care of me happily and worthily.
