Moto Sekai Ichi - 044 part 1

This isnt the middle point, but the middle point wasnt at a good place to split it. And the next place to split the chapter was a almost at the end.

Next part will be done by tomorrow, in case you want to wait and read them in one go.

44 Towards the fourth goal

"――――Haa!? "

I suddenly woke up.

Three seconds later, I noticed I was at the inn in the town of Badgordo.

What was I doing?

"Master～! "

Terra came and hugged me.

Ahh, I see. I……

"Terra……I'm sorry, it was my fault."

Ended up dragging her into it.

Master and spirit are one in body and soul. Terra almost died for being tied to me, her foolish master. Even though she desperately tried to stop me, I didn’t listen.

When I entered the Proline Dungeon to capture it, it seemed like there was no better plan than this. But in fact, that was just something I was telling myself. It was just a stupid idea that was impossible to achieve. I jumped at the reward, which seemed so close at hand, and almost ended up losing everything.

"Don’t apologize, Master～. I too should've given you better advice sooner……"

Terra said such a thing. Then, I jumped out of the bed unintentionally.

"That's wrong! You are not responsible for this! You did nothing wrong Terra; it was all because I rushed forward selfishly! "

While I was yelling so, I suddenly felt weird.

Ehh, is my body lighter? Besides, this skirt is......

"No, it's my fault because I knew already...... That master liked Second-san."

"Wh-wh-what are you saying!? "

Like!? Me!? That guy!? What kind of joke is that!!

"After all, the fact that your face has turned red is proof of that～."

"Yo-you're wrong! That's impossible! "

"Then, why were you that reckless? Why did you try to capture the Proline Dungeon? Why did you come to this town together with him? "

"Th-that is."

I'm troubled about how to answer. I wonder why is that...... eh? Just why did I do something like that……?

"――That's the kind of thing 'liking someone' is. Master."

Like? This is liking someone?

Wanting him to acknowledge me, wanting him to look at me, and also, wanting to keep talking to him more and more, is that to 'like' someone?

…………

……I see……So this is love.

"I should have pointed that out earlier. That way, Master wouldn’t have been so close to dying～…… And also, you wouldn’t have suffered such an embarrassment～……"

………………What?

"Eh? Wait a minute. Eh? Embarrassment? "

Certainly, I was saved by Second. Yeah, that was such a shame. But that wasn’t such a huge embarrassment worthy of being mentioned. I'll apologize the next time I see him, then, if it's not a big inconvenience, it'd be nice if maybe, hmm......

No, that's not it. It's not that I'm thinking that, if things go well...... I want to be friends with him.

……But, oh my god, that looked super cool. The seven-colored aura, the instant movement, the incredible swordsmanship that can’t be compared to the power of a spirit... I'm getting goosebumps just by remembering. Suddenly appearing when I was in a pinch and defeating that impossible enemy...... Who wouldn’t fall for him? It's not unreasonable, right?

Wait, no, no no! That's not it!

"A-ashamed of what......? "

I had an incredibly bad premonition. This weird feeling I've been having, could that be......

"Second-san helped you, Master, who was knocked down and had your nose bleeding. You were instantly recovered after Second-san made you drink a potion, then, while carrying you, he brought you back here......"

So, he made me drink a potion, huh? I wonder if an intermediate recovery potion on the level of curing the state I was in wasn’t that expensive. I think I should add a bit extra when paying him back. Well, but a bloody nose, huh? ......I think that would be a bit embarrassing indeed. Oh my, and my clothes were also a bit dirty――

…………

Ehh……? Was I wearing this skirt?

"The truth is, Master, at that moment you wet yourself...... fufufu! "

" "

D-did I hear wrong?

"……Te-Terra? What did you say? "

"You wet yourself～! "

F*ck!!!!!!!

"Eh...... Uhmm, that, erm......! "

Dawn. After waking up due to the violent knocking on my door, I opened it and found Chérie with a red face and suspiciously fidgeting in front of my room.

"What? "

I asked, putting a bit of pressure with my eyes, because I was still sleepy. I felt somewhat cranky due to yesterday's matter.

"T-this......! "

At that moment, she violently passed something to me. Looking closely, it looked like a letter.

"I'm s-sorry! Also, thank you! Let's meet each other again!? "

With smoke coming out of her head and her eyes half crying, Chérie turned around and left awkwardly walking like a tin doll. Her ringlet curls bounced up and down each time she took a step.

"Second-san, I will never forget this favor. Please convey that to the Great King too～."

After saying that with a smile, Terra-san bowed down, then followed after Chérie.

……What was this about?

After the unexpected farewell, I decided to look through the letter.

The letter was long, but the three main points written on it were: an apology, gratitude, and hope to meet again. Did you come to just go back already? Is what I would like to retort. It's somehow anticlimactic.

After reading the letter from that prickly, not really honest with herself, loner girl, I decided to go back to bed.
