Chapter 1780: Various Reactions to the New Brand 3
To be honest, when that information was brought to me by Caraway. I just thought "It really was as I thought". Anima had been working energetically on the launch of the new brand, but I have a feeling that she was over-motivated.
I can understand why. It may not be that much, but unlike her usual work, I was involved in the launch of this brand, so it was inevitable that Anima, who has a strong desire to do something for me, would be so enthusiastic about it.
I was worried that with her enthusiasm, she might get too anxious that she'd make a blunder around the actual launch date or around that time, so I've told Caraway to let me know in advance if there seem to be any issues with Anima.
Despite having grown quite mentally, there's still a part of her that's impulsive, tending to charge forward, so I had anticipated that she might go a bit out of control at some point and it really was as I thought.
Anima herself seemed to be aware that she had done something I didn't like, as when I brought her to my room, she despondently sat in a seiza.
No, of course, I understand that Anima has been working hard for my sake, but allowing her to go to extremes is troubling, as she might really end up working tirelessly without rest.
[So, Anima?]
[Uuu, ahh, yes U- Umm, I haven't slept for a while now.]
[What about breaks?]Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
[T- Three times a day or so umm]
[Are those enough breaks?]
[Yes.]
What's even more troubling is that Anima has grown to Count-rank level, which made her even more inclined to be reckless than before.
[Ugh Ahh]
[For now, I've decided I'll physically distance you from work and have you take a break Well then, let's go.]
[Haehh? Go? G- Go where?]
I have no intention of lecturing Anima any further, but I also don't want to leave her here on her own. The new brand is launching today, and there's a possibility that she won't be able to relax due to feeling concerned about how things will unfold.
[For the time being, I'm concerned if I don't keep an eye on you, and being at home might make you worry about work so let's go out. I've asked Alice to enter our destination into my teleportation gate, so we'll arrive there immediately but once we arrive, the first thing Anima should do is take a nap, okay?]
[Y- Yes. Ah, errr does that mean I'll be going there with Master?]
[Unnn. I intend to make sure Anima gets a proper rest for the time being but well, I guess you could say this is kind of like a date, isn't it?]
[ ! ? ]
Having heard my words, Anima lifted her lowered face, and her expression brightened up instantly. Her ears twitching happily looks quite adorable, and I kinda feel like I'm seeing a puppy wagging its tail in joy.
Well, even though I wasn't that busy either, I had been moving here and there lately, so let's take a break and spend some time relaxing together.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Huh? A date? Wait Wait, wait! This isn't what I heard! DIDN'T YOU SAY THE SUGAR RUSH ENDED ALREADY!!!?]
? ? ? : [No one said that though Isn't it just Senpai thinking as you please that things have already settled down?]
