Quickly leaving the restaurant after eating all three of my desserts, I was eager to go back to my room in the inn I was staying at.
I was very much on a sugar high after eating that much sugar. It was an enjoyable time, and everything tasted delicious, but for now, I have to get back as soon as possible.
So, deciding to run, the only thing on my mind right now was the smartphone Athrun gave me.
I couldn't let him see me use it because I can't risk him finding out that I actually know how it works, even if I tried to fake it. And I can't do it now anyway; that'd only draw unnecessary attention from the people in the crowd. Besides, even though the adventurers' guild is closer, I can't really show or explain it to Clare and Emma either, since telling them how I got it would be a whole other headache on its own. Clare would accept whatever answer I give her, even if she knows it's a lie, but for Emma, I would rather not.
Using a bit of magic, I enhance my legs to run even faster, reaching the inn in around 5 minutes.
Then, quickly running through the lounge on the first floor and up the stairs, I took out my key and opened the door to my room.
Closing the door quickly and locking it with a chain lock, I scan my surroundings just in case to make sure nobody was spying on me.
After a couple of seconds, I took a breath and sighed, letting my hair stop glowing and my eyes go back to their original color.
However, as soon as I did that, I... I... did not feel too good. A sudden dizziness hit me, followed by something in my stomach trying to come out.
As fast as I could, I sprinted toward the bathroom to the toilet, and I hurled out everything I had just eaten.
Tasting surprisingly sweet but also bitter and sour, vomit came out of my mouth, I felt my stomach turn, and a wave of nausea hit me. I puked out even more of what I had eaten.
Ugh... I don't feel so good. Geez, why now of all times?
After, I don't know, 10 to 30 minutes of me dry heaving and throwing up two or three more times, I felt like there was nothing in my stomach for me to throw up.
A bit dizzily, I moved unsteadily to and leaned against the bathtub for support. Damn, I have never felt this sick before, but I should have expected it.
So this is like being a child who has access to a large amount of sugar. Note to self: I am never doing that again.
Taking a deep breath to calm myself, I rinsed my face at the sink and was about to grab a towel to wipe away the sweat off my body when I heard the door open, only to stop short against the chain lock I'd put up.
"Blake, are you all right? I was told you ran back. Is something wrong?"
Hearing Clare's voice, I responded to her overly concerned tone.
"I'm fine; give me a second. I'm in the bathroom."
Leaving the bathroom and heading to the door, I unlocked the chain lock and opened it to see Clare with sweat beading on her forehead, as if she'd sprinted all the way back here.
Quickly coming in, concerningly, she asked me after I closed the door.
"Lady Rita, are you truly fine?"
Seeing my sweat-drenched clothes, she was dubious that I was actually fine.
"Yeah, I was just done puking out all the sugar I just ate."
"My lady?"
Proceeding to tell her that Athrun took Edwen, Aria, and me out to eat, where I ordered and ate a slice of chocolate cake, a lemon tart, and a massive strawberry sundae. Followed by telling her about the artifact Athrun had given me, which is why I ran back here so fast. Clare looked not too pleased by my response, under whose gaze I internally sighed.
