There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

14. neighbor

No matter how you look at it, Seria seemed to be waiting for us right here.

And Seria didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding it from us.

“See you again, warrior. During the day, I was rude too. I’m sorry. Enough then.”

Luna tried to drag my wrist past me, ignoring her as if she wasn’t worth dealing with.

The moment Luna passed Seria and I was drawn to her and was about to cross Seria.

what…?

Seria didn’t know what tricks Luna was holding on to my wrist.

In an unexpected situation, Luna and I lost our balance, and I leaned backwards and Luna leaned forward.

And, for some reason, I, who seemed to be about to fall, did not fall.

Luna staggered for a while, then regained her balance and turned around.

And I… got into a huddled posture and Seria supported me from behind.

I think it can be done so far,

Seria’s arms were wrapped around my waist as if giving a back hug.

Seria was behind me, so I probably couldn’t see Luna’s face, but

Watching Luna in real time, I felt my mouth dry.

No… Luna… Be patient…

you have to be patient…

I didn’t want our precious nest for a year to be destroyed before the door even opened.

And warrior… thank you for catching him, but you should… cut your hand…? Why don’t you hit me…?

Unable to remain silent, I took action first.

“Thank you for catching me. Warrior. I’m done.”

I untied her hand and looked back.

Seria looked at me blankly with eyes wide open and then apologized to us.

“No. I’m sorry. You seem to have a sprained foot, but you should have been careful.”

and. A lot of willfulness.

And Seria’s expression that followed was not the face of a sorry person at all.

On the contrary, she was smiling like a winner and went into her room with a face saying good night and saying that it was enough for today.

Me and Luna left in the hallway.

“…That… Shall we go in too…?”

Luna, who didn’t say anything, came over to me and looked me in the eyes.

“It seems that our butler lacks etiquette education.”

“Suck.”

Luna punched my stomach hard with her fist.

this feeling. It was the same feeling that I had been beaten every day when I was trained in close combat by Yan.

Hey… It’s been a while. This… I don’t miss any of it.

I gently rubbed my battered belly, complaining of pain.

But Luna said not to be rude and dragged me into her room.

Luna’s room was the same as mine, but the dormitory was quite large for a single room.

The composition was neat. The kitchen and living room are attached, and the bedroom is in the back. It was a single toilet.

Luna poured out her luggage in the middle of the living room.

No… this… I thought I was going to go all day while organizing it.

“Come on, Sirius. Since you’re the butler, help me clean up!”

The word ‘why me’ lingered in my mouth, but there was no need to provoke Luna, who was extremely sensitive due to Seria’s back hug.

“yes…”

I actually felt like a pitiful butler who gave in to the villainous young lady.

However, thinking about it, I also felt that being a butler in a master-slave relationship would be a destructive promotion.

What kind of clothes Luna bought so many, there were a lot of clothes that I couldn’t figure out.

As I hung up hangers one by one and put them in the closet, there was one item that caught my eye.

Oh my… This is…!

I deliberately cleared my throat at Luna, who was diligently tidying things up next to me.

“Hmm… Hmm!”

Luna raised her head and looked at me.

“Why? Anything special?”

“That… lady…”

Luna opened her eyes wide when I called her lady and asked.

It was the look on his face asking what he was going to do.

“I found something a little… suspicious while cleaning up…?”

“A suspicious object?”

She tilted her head.

“What is it? Look”

“That’s it~”

From the hand I was leaning on, I took out a pair of black underwear with a very flimsy-looking lace.

To bring such a cunning thing into the dormitory was a bad girl.

She was sitting in the living room tidying up, and as soon as she saw the things, she ran to me in a hurry.

“hey!!!”

As I backed away slightly, she glared at me with a reddened face.

“…Give it to me when I say nice things…”

“This dress. When the hell did you bring it to wear, lady?”

I spoke in a low voice like a strict butler.

“Did you think you would meet an extramarital man wearing clothes like this!”

She didn’t say anything, but as hard as she could, she hit me in the stomach one more time.

No matter how it is… Do you hit the place you hit again…

“Anyway… get a hawk…”

Luna clicked her tongue and took her underwear somewhere in the bedroom.

I thought, let’s say one more word after being hit by one.

“Wearing such filthy underwear. I can’t tolerate this butler.”

She giggled as if I was laughing while holding on to my aching stomach and talking nonsense.

She slipped over and sat down next to me, and put her hand on my thigh.

The corners of her eyes curved like crescent moons.

“My butler~ Where can I wear something like that~”

I couldn’t react to her sudden change of attitude this time.

Wrapping her arms around my neck, she gently licked my ear.

Her hot breath tickled my ears.

“Huh… I’m sorry…”

When the wind hit my sensitive ears, I apologized while making a strange sound.

“Where to wear it… I’ll match my butler’s imagination.”

Whispering in a whimsical voice, Luna resumed tidying up as if nothing had happened.

I tried to make fun of it, but I couldn’t even get my money’s worth, and it was me who only blushed.

My young lady lifts up and lets go of men’s hearts so easily.

I almost finished tidying up Luna’s room, and I entered Room 604, the next room.

I liked that it was empty and had only basic furniture.

And I sorted out my luggage one by one.

Speaking of clothes, it was only a few sets of academy uniforms and a few pairs of underwear.

Luna and I were incomparably less burdensome.

I was about to change into comfortable clothes, but the note I received before leaving came out of my pocket.

[I’ll be watching.]

It’s really two words, but I laughed bitterly at having to feel this much pressure.

After arranging the room in less than 30 minutes, I went out to the terrace.

Come to think of it, I didn’t have a terrace even when I lived with Master, but I thought my sales had improved.

A pleasant breeze blew past my cheeks.

The dense forest seen from the top floor had its own taste.

Looking at the green forest rather than the desolate land of the demon realm reminded me of my days living in the human realm.

It was an academy with a luxurious environment, but I thought that this scene would not be much different from Homeron Village.

“It reminds me of the old days…”

I leaned against the railing and looked down.

I was quietly spending my own time soaked in appreciation for the first time in a while, but I heard a voice next to me.

“How was it in the old days?”

oh wow i’m surprised

When I turned my head in the direction of the sound, Seria was staring at me from the terrace across from me with her head sticking out.

The way she looked at me with her blonde hair was illuminated by the moonlight, making it seem like she was not from this world.

I grew up well… I grew up well…

When I didn’t say anything with a surprised expression, Seria continued talking, perhaps embarrassed.

“Don’t look like that. I came out because I wanted to get some fresh air.”

To be honest, I thought she was waiting for me to come out of the terrace, just like she had waited for us in the hallway, but I was relieved by her words.

Anyway, I wouldn’t do that anyway.

“Thank you earlier. Warrior.”

Come to think of it, she caught me when I was about to fall earlier.

Of course, it was probably her who tried to knock him over, but for now, I didn’t have anything to say, so I thanked him.

Seria said with a smile.

“No… I’m really sorry… You were in trouble during the day…?”

Seria spoke to me softly.

Are the charges against me cleared? Even when I thought about it, I still seemed to have doubts when I saw that I had applied for a room here.

“No. I think you can always meet someone who resembles you in life.”

“That’s true. Sirius-san really, really resembles the person I was looking for…”

She stared into my face.

Unable to bear the gaze, I continued the story while looking at the forest again.

“Hmm… Hmm… What kind of relationship does that person who looks like me have with the hero…?”

Seria rested her chin on the railing for a while, seemingly contemplating.

“He’s… my… everything… or, to be precise, he’s… everything I have left.”

As she spoke, she looked into the distance for a moment, as if her heart was hurting.

And although it was a different person, it would have been a story that I couldn’t understand at all, but I, the person involved, sympathized more than anyone else, and it hurt my heart.

Me too… because…

In the burning Homeron Village… I came all the way here just looking at you…

So we gazed at the same moon without saying anything for a while.

I don’t know what memories Seria searches for, but she probably recalled the days of our childhood, just like me.

It was Seria who broke the silence first.

“…Sirius. Take care. We.”

She spoke in a voice that made her cry at any moment.

After saying that, Seria went back to her room.

Left alone, I looked at the shining moon again.

“Let’s get along. We.”

Along with my self-talk, tears drew a trail in my eyes.
