I am a Witch Requested by My Crush to Make Love Potion

――Katsun Katsun Katsun

I hear footsteps.

It's a slow step like enjoying the prey.

A prey that has no escape can only tremble.

Rose's shallow breath fills a small basement.

The cool basement air strokes the white skin of Rose. A musty smell came in through Rose's nose and filled the brain.

--Katsun

The footsteps stopped above my head.

A violent sound, like searching for something or smashing everything around, is echoing to the core of the head.

Reflectively, the body is about to jump. Push your mouth, which is about to shout, with your hand.

Rose can't escape from the basement, which feels terrified and terrified.

――That !!

There was a special loud noise, like turning a tool box over. Rose shook his body reflexively. A scream of only a sigh falls.

The finger holding his mouth digs into his cheek.

With his eyes wide open, Rose was hardened.

Is the door to the basement where Rose is hiding hidden and scattered around?

Or maybe he was kicking and threatening something on purpose to scare Rose.

The more I thought, the more frightening I was.

The tremor does not stop.

The teeth rattle and make a harsh sound. I don't want to tell you that I'm here, so I calm down my heart, trying to stop the tremor, but not stop.

The light shines on Rose's open, dry eyes.

A thin light ran on the top board.

The light of the lamp is inserted through the gap between the floorboard and the basement door.

The rug was peeled off.

I can't breathe.

The air is thin and dizzy.

The ceiling opens.

The light of the lamp was so dazzling that I wanted to close my eyes, but I was so scared that my body would refuse.

――Rose

Tears spill reflexively from the eyes that remain wide open.

Why here. Why now

Sound leaked from my mouth. I don't even know what I said.

"Is it safe?"

A gentle voice and a full-hearted expression turned to Rose.

The door was completely removed and the lamp was set aside.

Shallow breathing becomes rough. The air that has reached the lungs at once must be painfully rampaging.

The body cannot catch up because of the air at once. Fast breathing repeatedly hit Rose. Painful, shoulders rise and fall violently.

I was scared, I was scared.

It was scary, it was scary.

"I'm late. I'm sorry."

She clung reflectively to her growing hand. The arms were somehow cold like ice and drenched.

Harrige rushes out of the way, but embraces Rose as he imagined.

Stroking his back many times, soothing the body of the swaying rose.

Due to the close contact, the water permeates the rose's clothes and gradually cools down. As the water spread, the feelings of Harrige seemed to permeate.

"Are you injured?"

Harrige's arm touching Rose also seemed to be shaking.

Rose, whose breathing had calmed down, desperately moved his lips and answered, "Yes."

Harige's whole body loses power. A large sigh is exhaled.

"Was good"

Harrige said that, and hugged Rose again tightly.

As if to reassure him, Harrige hit the back and released Rose.

However, Rose was still holding on to Harrige's clothes.

When Rose notices this, she tries to release her hand in a hurry. However, the hand that was gripped by fear and tension is hardened and does not work well.

A big palm wraps around the shivering rose's hand.

Slowly, but gently stroked several times, I was able to untie.

"I'm sorry"

"I don't have to apologize"

Laughing at ease, Harrige stood up. Then, swing your feet as much as you want.

Something hits Harrige's barefoot and floats in the air.

As it was, he rolled on the floor.

"It's gone. I just moved and hit my foot."

It's a stick reading. Rose looks up at Harrige with a gap.

The object that Harrige accidentally hit (...) was a person.

A man with gray hair about the same height as Harriage.

Earlier, Harrige must have been a mistaken thief.

The man strips his eyes and faints.

Is the loud sound Rose hears in the basement, the sound of Harrige exterminating the thief? A mulberry, which should have been in the field, was rolling beside the man for some reason.

The man had his arms and torso tied with something. It seems that the corset of the lady is tightly squeezed.

Harriage grabbed a man who was tightly tied so that there was no gap for an ant to crawl.

"I want to be with you, but I'll bring this guy. I'm going to Safina right away. Until then, never open the door, no matter who comes."

"Well, I just opened it."

I want to convey that I didn't do such a ridiculous imitation.

Harryge laughed rather than angry at ease.

"I'm sorry."

The light of the lamp shines a soft light on Harriage's cheek. It was a gentle smile, breathtaking.

"Well, keep it warm."

"Yes, customers, why are you ..."

Before telling the end, Rose realized that the truth was open.

"Maybe you've swam ... in winter, on the lake"

The icy night lake can be icy.

The cruel cold that freezes to the bone marrow hurts as if bitten by the cold. Beasts that have accidentally fallen to the lake can lose their lives.

"The hermitage was dark, but the sound of the glass broke. The boat was suspicious, and it was natural to think that something had happened."

It must be extraordinarily cold now. Rose hurriedly pushed Harrige toward the bed, expanding the partition even further.

"You may die! Please take off your clothes!"

"No, ro-"

"Please take off"

Rosé said once more in a tone that he couldn't say.

I guessed that there was a rubbing sound from behind the screen.

As soon as I could, I threw a piece of cloth or a duvet for summer that I hadn't cleaned up into my bed. He was so upset that he might have stepped on a thief several times.

"Please wrap it in a futon. Put wet clothes on a screen."

It was nice to add firewood. The crackling and explosive flames are large and warm the room sufficiently.

"Hey, you're in the way"

Kick the thief and roll it on the floor. I wanted to increase the space on the bed side and pulled the partition. Now Harrige can be warmed up by the fireplace with his futon on.

"Rose, the culprit is here--"

"I'm okay. I'll give you some sleep medicine and shake my numbness."

"That's right ..."

Take the medicine out of the cupboard and complete the necessary steps to the unconscious thieves. Now I have no choice but to do this. The thief stays on the floor, cleverly moving.

Extend the closet.

There can be no clothes that Harrige could wear. Squeeze the wet Harrige clothes and squeeze the water between the wet summer futons. If we made a cavity so that warm air could easily enter inside, it would dry out with the heat of the fireplace without much time.

Maybe the room was warmed up by the fire, and the rose clothes that were slightly wet were dry.

"Yes! @ Outerwear, no outerwear"

"I took off my clothes in the forest."

"I'll get you! Please be warm here!"

"Rose!"

Rose rushed out of the house. If you go to the pier, there is no boat. When I turned to the back, it seemed lonely and warm.

We approach boat with fallen oars, thinking that we should not have moved.

I went into the forest on a small boat and found clothes and swords immediately. Rose's longing, knight's cape.

The tears were going up.

Pick your clothes with your shivering fingers.

When I held it in my chest, my breath leaked for some reason.

If you switch consciousness unless you are in a hurry, you return to the hermitage with great care. Then Harrige stood at the entrance, dressed in clothes.

"Clothes ...? Have you dried up?"

"Oh, enough. I'm going."

You may be worried about keeping the criminal in Rose's house.

Harrige raises his mouth when he receives the clothes that Rose has taken care of.

"Thank you, saved"

It was not Harriage that was helped.

It's rose. The inside of my eyes gets very hot.

"Why ..."

Why did Harrige come to the lake to swim in the winter?

But I thought it was cowardly to hear it. Rose was saved because Harry swam the lake without ignoring me.

"... Why are you here?"

So Rose heard something different.

Harrige was away from the royal capital because he was on duty to bring Birrura to the border. There is no reason to do business in such a remote place with that work clothes. At midnight like this.

"Are you following the thief?"

Harijge carries his sword while shaking his head.

The expression seemed to bite the worm. Says uncomfortable.

"... I wondered what I was doing."

"...?"

"If the light is on, I'd like to stop a little. Isn't there any inconvenience, isn't he sick? ..."

Rose was amazed.

Returning to the mansion and listening to Safina's report, I guess.

I couldn't imagine that I had to come deep into the forest to check on the way home.

"For such a thing?"

Seeing a screaming rose, Harrige distorted his face in a heart-wrenching manner.

"I'm good. I'm glad I came. I'm going."

Harryge takes charge of the thief.

"Ah, customers!"

"what"

The face I looked back was blank.

Rose grabbed his hands and bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your help. Thank you very much."

Harige, who silently received Rose's gratitude, roared Rosé's head and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
