Chapter 36

“It’s also uncomfortable.”

“Where did you hear that?”

Amelia raised her upper body and asked, tilting her head. Edwin wasn’t naive, but he was innocent. So, should I say that I know everything I know, but I don’t know the details and specifics? So it was strange to talk again and again like now. He still looked shy and opened his mouth.

“…I heard what my knight mates had to say. Geez, I didn’t ask on purpose, I just happened to be at a drinking party…!”

It was really a coincidence, it was a chat I had heard quite a while ago, but his overly bewildered expression seemed to be making excuses. Of course, Amelia is Edwin’s last name.

He didn’t mind because he understood the situation properly, but it was difficult for him to fix his bruised face. Whatever the reason, I have no intention of forcing you to do something you don’t like. Amelia nodded her head, but a strange regret remained. Edwin, who had guessed it, coughed in vain.

“It’s unreasonable here, but later… I think it would be okay to try it carefully in a place where the bathroom is a little wider.”

“Oh, that’s good! Edwin should have said that sooner too. So, shall we take a shower and go out? In fact, I felt a little bit cold.”

At the honest and simple reaction, Edwin smiled and made bubbles in his hands again.

After washing her body, Amelia walked over to the bed with her wet hair fluttering. Behind her, Edwin followed her with a dry towel. He sighed as he gently rubbed Amelia’s head with a towel as she flopped on the bed.

“Don’t have a cold, Miss Amelia.”

“Even though I am physically weak, I am not good at treating diseases. If I had caught a cold like this, I would have died a hundred times already.”

“It’s just that Miss Amelia is doing what she usually does. You can guess by looking at it. Still, please don’t make me worry.”

“worry……?”

Amelia, who frowned like a cat basking in the sun, was genuinely perplexed. Even the parents are concerned that their daughter will take care of herself, but when Edwin, a newcomer, said something like that, I felt a bit tickled.

“Are you worried about me?”

“Speak of course. I’m talking about the story, but Ms. Amelia is definitely insecure. There’s been a robbery, and you’re doing that.”

“No, I did a good job of locking the door. Edwin had the key.”

“If you’re determined, it’s okay to break the door. No… Oh, then I’ll tell you. They were caught seven days ago.”

Edwin said as he ran his hand through her wavy hair, which had dried up to some extent. Amelia, who was lying on the bed, looked up at the good news.

“That’s fortunate!”

“Yes. Glad they got caught before the bookstore reopened. Miss Amelia must have forgotten that such an incident had occurred, so she wasn’t too worried.”

“Even if I’m not interested in everything, that’s not enough, Mr. Edwin. If it wasn’t for this, I wouldn’t have been able to get along with Mr. Edwin like this, but of course I remember.”

Edwin’s hand stopped at Amelia’s grunt. He also had the same thought, so he moved his arms again and asked a question.

“What kind of relationship is this?”

“yes? What kind of relationship do you want…”

“Like ordinary lovers, we are mixing bodies every day, but that’s…?”

“I, we are not lovers yet, are we? Why are you doing this, desperately!”

“Please… No, in the first place, Miss Amelia…”
