241 - - Episode 6 Yume is sick?

Mwah~ ......"

Yume, even if you groan like that, you need to rest for the rest of the day."

Yume, I'm fine already. ...... Why do I have to sleep?"

In her room at the bottom of the abyss, my sister, Yume, purses her lips as she purrs beside me in bed.

Her question is answered by Ellie, who has examined Yume's symptoms.

The fairy maid noticed that Yume-sama was not feeling well this morning, and I diagnosed her. I have determined that she caught a cold because she has become accustomed to life in the "abyss" and the mental fatigue she had suppressed until now has come out. The cold itself could be quickly cured with the potion, but it would not recover the strength that had been depleted. Therefore, Yume-sama, please rest in bed for at least one day today to recover your strength.

Mmm~......"

Yume could not refute Ellie's explanation and had to fall silent.

As she explained, when the fairy maid went to wake Yume up this morning, her face was red and she was very ill.

She immediately contacted me, and to be honest, I was panicked, but was relieved when Ellie's diagnosis quickly came back with the result, 'It's just a cold.

The cold itself was cured immediately with a potion from my gift "Infinite Gacha," but the lost strength could not be recovered.

However, he was not satisfied with being kept in bed all day long even though he was fine.

However, after listening to Ellie's explanation, Yume does not complain any more, and becomes quiet on the bed.

I let out a sigh of relief at her appearance and patted my sister's head.

I'll make time to show up here and there today, so make sure you're sleeping peacefully, okay?"

'Buuu~...... niichan, you promised me.

Of course, I promise."

I let out a smile, and Yume smiles happily when I promise.

After I finished my conversation with Yume, I turned to Ellie.

Thank you, Ellie. "Thank you, too, Ellie, for treating me.

I didn't do much," he said. The treatment came from the grace (gift) of the God of Light.

Ellie smiles humbly.

She, too, called out to Yume.

Yume-sama, you are probably too busy sleeping, so I will bring you a book.

A book?　I hope it's interesting."

I understand. Then I will bring you my recommendation.

"Yeah, promise?"

Yes, I promise.

The girls smile at each other and make promises to each other.

I watched them with a smile on my face.

We cut the conversation short, and Ellie and I leave the table.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Lunch.

After finishing the paperwork in the lowest level office of "The Abyss," I have a quick lunch and then show up to see Yume.

When I went to my sister's room, I found Yume and Nazuna eating lunch together at the table by her ...... bed.

Yume has a cardigan on her shoulders and a blanket on her lap to keep her cool.

The two noticed me and shouted.

Niichan!"

Master must have come to visit his sister!"

I see that Nazna came to visit you too. Thank you."

She's like a sister to me!　I came because I thought it would be lonely to eat alone when I was sick."

Thank you, Nazna," he said. Yume, Nazuna, I love you.

I like you, too, sister.

The two put down the spoon with which they had been scooping up their uneaten soup once, then grabbed each other's hands and laughed.

The fairy maid serving them frowns and tries to warn them, but I stop her by lightly raising my hand.

The two of them seemed to be enjoying themselves, and after the illness, it was a scene to work on Yume's feelings. I don't need to say anything wild.

They let go of my hand and Nazuna calls out to me.

'Let's eat dinner together, Master!

I've already finished first, so I'll pass. Can I just have some tea?"

The fairy maid moves quietly at my words.

They are quiet on the surface, but I imagine they are frenzied inside.

(They seem to think that serving me is their greatest pleasure.)

I shake the subject with such thoughts in my mind.

"Did you get a good night's rest in bed this morning?"

Of course. I promised Ni-chan that I would read the book, and after that, Miss Ellie brought me a book, so I've been reading it all day.

Ellie even pesters me to read her books. ...... Give me a break."

Ellie tries to get Nazna to read books to her in order to make her more educated.

But from Nazna's point of view, he prefers physical exercise to reading, so he is on the run.

For my part, I think Nazna should study a little more. ...... The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a look at the book and say, "I'm not going to read it," or "I'm not going to read it," or "I'm not going to read it.

Yume, on the other hand, was surprised that the book Ellie had brought was interesting, and she began to talk about it eloquently.

The book about the rabbit and the turtle was interesting, but the book about witchcraft was also interesting.

A book on witchcraft?

Yeah!"　It's a book about illusions and phantoms, which is Yume's specialty--"

Yume is delighted to tell me about the contents of the book.

Nazuna's head was filled with "? He kept listening to me without interrupting Yume's story.

I listened to Yume's story and stayed by her side until they finished their lunch.

I stayed by their side until they finished their lunch.

Lunch was over, and it was afternoon.

I finished giving all the instructions and headed to the private room to check on Yume when it was past 3 pm.

As I headed to the private room

......nya~"

Soooo ......

Aoyuki was on the bed where Yume was sleeping, hugged like a pillow.

When Aoyuki noticed me, she mewed for help.

It seems that Aoyuki had come to visit Yume and Yume had caught her and dragged her to the bed and turned her into a hug pillow.

I let out a wry smile as I clasp my hands together, lowering my eyebrows apologetically at Aoyuki.

（I asked Aoyuki to stay there until Yume wakes up or until I release her.

Aoyuki mewed again, as if to say, "I knew.

With a look of resignation, he relaxed from his body.

I felt sorry for her appearance, but I let out a faint giggle again and quietly retreated.

While retreating.

(But I'll instruct the fairy maid to wake you up at the cut-off point, since you won't be able to sleep at night if you sleep too much)

I quietly slipped out of the yume private room and made a mental note to give instructions to the fairy maid.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

--Worries about the lights are, in a sense, unfounded.

The fairy maid wakes him up, and Aoyuki is safely released from his cuddly pillow.

As soon as she is released, Aoyuki runs away from the room.

Yume takes a nap, and although she was wide-eyed at the time, she was able to fall asleep well into the night.

However, at ...... midnight, Yume lets out a pained moan.

She held her head with her hands in agony and broke out in a greasy sweat.

The suffering soon subsided, and she regained a good night's sleep.

She looked peaceful, as if there had been no suffering from the beginning.
