V1 Chapter 8.3

2 Unconscious sadness –Sena-

The day Rhonya fell ill.

After lightly cleaning up the shop, I waited for Rhonya to wake up before returning home.

Rhonya who just woke up looked like she’s still in much pain. And to recover back her health, she decided to close the shop for tomorrow.

Around this time, we (demis) regularly visit the shop every day. All the more so that we wish for Rhonya’s quick recovery. Although it’s regrettable, we would have to find lunch somewhere else tomorrow. We of the DemiMercSquad lives in the outskirts of the city of Domskhasa.

“Sena, you better go nurse Ojou tomorrow.”

The evening that day, Ryuse-san said so to me as I was sitting on the chair reading a book.

“….Why?”

“Isn’t it your fault that Ojou fell sick”

“I told you that’s unreasonable”

“But you, you’re off duty tonight anyways. And since Ojou’s living alone, and it’s also your fault, just go and nurse her”

“……”

Although I flipped a page of the book, its contents did not go through my head.

It’s true that she lives alone and so there wouldn’t be anyone to nurse her to health. But, Rhonya is loved by the townspeople, so some of the meddlesome ones would try to help her out.

“And we don’t get to eat Tenchou’s cooking tomorrow…. The heck…”

Chise who was lazing around on the sofa whispered so in a regretful tone. Then, moments later, he started snoozing off while making a snore.

“Then, how about letting Boss nurse her? I’ll go to work instead.” Moving the focus of the conversation towards Shize who was laying down on the opposite sofa.

In the past, Shize had taken care of children, and so he definitely knows how to nurse a sick person. But there was no reply back from Shize, it seems he had fallen asleep.

“What’s with that, Sena. Do you really hate to nurse Ojou so much”

“…Not that I hate it but… *sigh, fine… I’ll go so take a short nap, will you Ryuse?”

Ryuse then hugged a cushion and jumped onto an empty sofa and stared at me.

“….What?”

“Don’tcha dare make a move on a sick person.”

“Go to sleep already.”

What’s he talking about…

Moving the cushion towards his face, Ryuse then closed his eyes.

An hour after, Ryuse and Chise who woke up then started fussing about it again.

“You better go and nurse her I tell ya! You have to!” as they pointed it out once again. I sent them off as they go to work.

The next morning, I headed towards Rhonya’s shop with a book in my hand.

Moving around in my half beast form, I stopped as I saw a townsperson taking ahold of a familiar cup. It was the takeaway cup used in Café Mattari.

“There’s nothing like a cup of coffee from Rhonya-chan’s to start the day.”

I could hear such a voice. And it looks like he’s holding onto a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Fearing my intuition, I quickened my steps.
