I'm Tired

Chapter 4

I continued visiting Claude and roasting him. On my next visit, we went on a boat ride. The more I visit the more I clean the black magic. What am I? The janitor?

"Prepare the boat."

Are you going to drown me? Classic Claude. I can take one glance and can tell you want to kill me. Guess what however you act will also help me decide if I should kill you too.

He picked me up and placed me on the boat.

The boat is moving on its own. Is it magic? I don't sense mana. My gaze lands on a lotus. Is it transparent? How pretty.

The boat gets close enough to the transparent lotus.

I reach my hand to it and use magic to make a tiny knife appear and cut the lotus from its energy-eating roots. I eat the lotus to gain its energy.

Claude is giving me a weird look but I say nothing.

Ew, this mana is nasty. I have a sour expression on my face

*Claude laughs*

Wth was that? The man laughed. I felt like drowning instead of hearing that creepy laugh. It's giving me the shivers. I tensed up. Is this the same sperm- Claude?

If I remember correctly I have a holy beast. I can eat it and I will have more mana. Oh, that's how I'm supposed to meet Lucas. Should I let him eat it or should I eat it for myself? I saw how weak mana is here in this world. I still have my mana from my past life. I can also avoid Claude losing his memories. If I let him eat the shinsu then he won't go to the world tree unless he's greedy. If I eat it there's a chance I will die from too much mana intake.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about how disgusting the lotus tasted."

After hearing my response he smiled. Is he a sadist? Am I a sadist? No, let me get rid of my impure thoughts.

The boat ride soon ended. Felix escorted me back. 

It was the next day

I went to visit Claude. Felix decided to abandon me alone in his room. Claude is apparently still sleeping.

Why call for me? I'll explore his room then. Woah, a golden map it's pretty. Look at all these portraits. I stopped to see a broken picture frame. He still keeps her picture even after all that she's done. Ha, what did I expect?

I turned to see Claude sleeping on the couch. I took a picture of him. During our father-daughter times, he seems to be growing on me. I think I like our meetings. Why are you sleeping during the evening? Is your couch better than your bed? Ugh, now I'm starting to care for him. Why do you look like some prince from the fairytales?

I decided I'll just leave since I didn't want to bother him. I went to open the door and Felix looked at me surprised. I said nothing and started walking out.

I walked out exploring my surroundings to see my butterflies leading me to a cute shinsu. Today seems to be the day I  wake up the brat. I chased the shinsu. It took sharp turns. I lost it until I saw black fur or hair.
