Chapter 141: Nursing (2)
Nursing (2)
Uh, Student Council President?
Talions words naturally trickled out as soon as he saw Eleanor walking down the hallway from the opposite side.
He had heard rumors about her lately, like how she holed herself up in the physical training room, refusing to take a single step outside. So this was a rather rare occasion where one could actually catch her outside that room.
Its been a while since I have seen you. Have you been well? The last time we talked was during the Exchange Student Program, wasnt it?
Following his gentle smile was a warm and friendly greeting, befitted of his character as someone with a high social skill.
Indeed. It has been a while.
Talion tilted his head at her reply.
While to others, she might have sounded no different from normal, to him, he could feel that there was something off with her.
President, are you okay?
What is it that you mean?
Did something bad happen?
Eleanor tilted her head.
Does it look like something bad has happened to me?
No, you look the same on the outside, but
Talion scratched his head as he continued.
You touch your ears often while you speak, this means youre bothered by something. Well, thats what I heard at least.
Eleanors eyes widened as she looked at her hand.
I did not realize I had such a habit
Senior Brother told me. He said Student Council President has many habits and
Eleanors expression stiffened for a moment.
It was noticeable enough that Talion was briefly taken aback.
Did I say something wrong?
He was so bewildered that he quietly bit his lip as he watched Eleanor.
What should I say to her now?
He noticed that she wasnt in the mood to talk about Dowd.
Previously, even the slightest mention of Dowd would make her eyes sparkle as shed rush in, attentively listening to everything .
Did they have a fight or something?
It was obvious to Talion that the relationship between those two had become awkward.
Although he didnt really know the reason, he did remember Dowd complaining that Eleanor refused to meet him despite him trying to look for her.
While he was lost in such thoughts, Eleanor suddenly asked.
Speaking of which, where are you headed?
Ah, Senior Brother asked me to look for someone named Faenol so
He stopped talking mid-sentence, horrified by the realization of what he just said.
This person in front of him was someone who knew every name of those close to Dowd by heart. Now, imagine if she were to hear that he was looking for a girl on Dowds behalf
Is that so?
But
Contrary to his expectations, Eleanors response was surprisingly lukewarm.
Even Talion was startled; So much so that he had to take a moment to properly look at her.
And when he did that, he realized that he was wrong.
She didnt give out a lukewarm reaction. Instead, what he said deepened her depression.
Almost as if she was saying, Its obvious that it would turn out that way
And her next words confirmed this.
That might be for the better.
She muttered to herself in self-deprecation.
It is probably better for him to be with other female students than with someone like me.
Huh?
From that mans perspective, I must seem quite pathetic. Perhaps, he already starts disliking
Um, Student Council President. It may be presumptuous of me to say this, but
After hearing that, Talion just couldnt let it go.
There was, of course, the discomfort of seeing a person, who was always so confident, becoming self-deprecating like this, but more than that
Yes?
If you continue to be like this, youll only make Senior Brother suffer even more.
You should know it already. Theres now way that hed start to dislike you, or find you pathetic. Did he himself say those words to you? I dont think he did, right?
I genuinely dont know why you suddenly feel so uneasy around him, but I think you should try talking to him directly. Im sure you wont regret doing it.
Even Talion knew that there were numerous people around Dowd Campbell, especially the number of the ladies, it was noticeably high.
But even among them, there was no doubt that he cared the most about the state of this woman right here.
Hearing that, Eleanor blinked her eyes and then, with a sigh, nodded her head.
Even if they were mere empty words, I appreciate it.
They are not empty words at all.
I see. I understand. Indeed, you do have quite the talent in the art of socializing, Eldest Son of Armand Viscounty.
No, Im being serious. You see, Im rooting for Iliya.
Of course, I like you too, President, but if I had to choose, Id naturally support my friend a little mo
Well, at least she knew that such a response certainly wasnt from someone whod say empty words to her.
Hmph.
Eleanor sighed and dusted off her palms.
She had just knocked out Talion, who was spouting nonsense, by striking him between the brows.
To be honest, the only reason she restrained herself a little was because he said something somewhat helpful.
-You should know it already. Theres now way that hed start to dislike you, or find you pathetic. Did he himself say those words to you? I dont think he did, right?
She knew that. Better than anyone, in fact.
Yes, she was training, but the reason she didnt try to see Dowd to this extent was because there wasnt any reason to.
She looked down at him, who was sound asleep, with slightly rough pants.
It might be strange to express it this way
But looking at this man now
She couldnt help but drool.
Just a little.
Wouldnt it be okay if its just a little?
Ever so slightly, so it doesnt show.
She swallowed dryly.
Im sorry.
Her voice echoed quietly.
I am really, truly sorry. I am truly a bad person.
The words were the same apology, but
.I am truly sorry.
The meaning contained was entirely different from before.
[Hey.]
[I know that youre already awake, but why arent you opening your eyes? Are you actually enjoying this situation?]
Oh, shut the fuck up.
I threw such words out while desperately keeping my eyes closed.
Dumbass, are you kidding me?
How am I supposed to open my eyes in this kind of situation?
What should I do if I open my eyes anyway? Tell her, Actually, Ive been awake this whole time! I wanted to see what you were up to? Yeah, Id be lucky if she only fucked up my jaw after that..
But seriously, what the fuck was going on?
Why was she suddenly groping around my entire body?
I regained consciousness and found myself in this state! Where the fuck am I? Who the fuck am I? Why the fuck am I? I dont even know whats what anymore!
Anyway
Considering her tendencies, everything should end after she gave me a tender kiss or something.
There was no way shed do anything more than
[Ooooh, her hand is gradually going lower.]
The fuck?
[Shes literally trying to take off your clothes. A kiss on the lips? What are you on about? You two have already done it before, do you think shed be satisfied with just that. Naive.]
No, Im not even worried about my lips being used at this point.
But going beyond that is, well, sort of, you know!
[She looks nervous. Look, she cant find the buttons, shes fumbling around.]
[Anyway, will you be okay? If things were to continue like this, shell eat you whole, you know?]
Stop your commentaries!
Please, for the love of all that is holy, Im also trying to figure out how to get out of this situation right now.
I have to do something!
Right as I was thinking this
The situation was resolved suddenly.
But
In a direction I absolutely did not wish for.
Mr. Dowd, I heard you collapse from overworking! Are you okay!
Mr. Dowd, a-are you okay?!
Along with those voices, the door of the infirmary burst open.
At this, Eleanor abruptly stood up, startled, and as a result, the entire bed flipped over, throwing my body onto the floor.
There was that. It was a bit of a relief, honestly.
After all, one of the voices belonged to Yuria. And I managed to avoid getting my bare face exposed.
However
Ah.
Uh.
Lucia and Yuria looked around the infirmary with dazed eyes.
So, to be more precise
They saw my figure, rolling on the floor with all my clothes loosened
And Eleanor, with her face oddly red, panting, and having been touching me until just a moment ago.
Silence stretched as their gazes met each others
Uh, Lady Tristan.
Then
Finally, the Saintess spoke in a chilly voice.
What exactly were you doing here?
Oh my poor stomach.
It hurts
Why the fuck did it always turn into this kind of situation even when I faint from overwork?
Cut me some slack. Please.
