It was not a sad or affectionate position, but a position where the parents put their children on their knees to scold them.

That was the position! Damn it! What was this?

I was so embarrassed that I couldn't even think of moving, but somehow I heard my husband's cautious voice.

"Are you all right?"

"......."

"Do you feel faint?"

No, but I'd rather faint. I felt that it was better to have a bloody nose and faint.

If only my toes were okay. No, if only there weren't any turtle plates.

His hands helplessly dug under my armpit.

No, don't touch me!

"You seem weak..."

"Oh, no..!"

"What do you mean no?"

I'm so embarrassed!

However, it was useless even if I tried to hold on with all my strength. I bent my head as low as I could while Izek lifted me up easily.

Ah, respectful Paladins, please make a mouse hole with your fraudulent superpowers.

"Raise your face."

"I-I don't want to...."

"You don't like me?"

Why are you asking me that so seriously?

"I-I'm so embarrassed......."

"You just fell down, what's so shameful?"

"But..."

God, you really hate me, don't you? There's no way you'll keep holding this conversation without doing that.

I didn't even realize that I was stuck on Izek's lap, burying my head in his magnificent shoulders.

"Really, really, really stupid....."

"I don't think it's stupid at all. Raise your face."

Really?

I pulled myself together and lifted my head gently.

I heard half of what he said. Until my eyes met the vivid giant turtle's eyes.

"Ahhhh!"

"Why, why..."

"A-Aren't you surprised to see that?"

What's wrong with me? I'd expected to be over the trauma. I thought I could stand turtle phobia calmly. It's all because that's too big.

What kind of artisan made such a big turtle dish!

Or maybe these are the psychological aftereffects of a stranger trying to break my toe....

"Are you afraid of turtles?"

'What, are you scared of turtles?'

"No, no, I'm not scared. I'm sorry. I'm not scared at all."

"What?"

"I won't be scared. It's not scary at all. I'm sorry."

There was a rumble above my head.

No, no, no. Wake up. Snap out of this, you idiot.

"No more turtles!"

"You hear me? Let me see your face now."

My husband's voice sounded strange for some reason. It was so gentle that I couldn't get used to it.
