Chapter 1795: Rest for the Hard Worker 4
It seems that Anima really had been accumulating fatigue, as she now seemed to be sleeping quite soundly on my lap. While Anima was asleep, I quietly spent the time reading a book so as not to disturb her.
Although I hardly felt any weight on my lap, after a few hours, it felt somewhat rough. Well, as long as Anima could get a good rest, there was no problem with me at all
[Hrnnn.]
About three hours had passed since Anima began to sleep, and sensing signs of her waking up, I closed the book and put it away in my magic box.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
After stirring up a bit, Anima slowly opened her eyes and after her gaze turned to me, she gave me a lax smile.
[Masteeeeer]
[Good morning, Anima.]
[Masteeeeer Ehehe]
[Unnn? Whoa there]
It seems that Anima was still feeling a bit groggy, as with drowsy eyes, lying down on my lap, she reached out her hands and hugged me affectionately.
In terms of position, she's clinging to my waist, pressing her face against my stomach. She then happily rubs her face against me with a content smile.
How should I say this It's somewhat like a puppy seeking affection, and she looked incredibly adorable. Seeing her like that warms my heart quite a bit but this is just because Anima is still half awake, and it's only a matter of time before her consciousness becomes clearer.
[Masteeeeer Master Mas]
[Y- Yes. I was able to sleep so soundly that it didn't feel like 3 hours had passed. Right now, I'm filled with energy both physically and mentally!]
[I see, that's great.]
There doesn't seem to be any lies in Anima's words. I could feel her being in good shape being clearly conveyed, and other than her looking regretful for apparently causing me inconvenience, but I could feel that she was genuinely in perfect form.
Rather, it's somewhat curious how Anima seems to be in better spirits this way than when she was fully rested and in top condition.
[Aren't you hungry? Why don't we eat something?]
[Yes! In that case, I'll prepare]
[No, we are here to have Anima rest, so you wait here while I prepare it]
[P- Please just be lenient on this one! Having Master cook while I'm just waiting here would crush me with guilt! P- Please, at least let me help with something.]
[Fufu, then, should we make our meal together?]
[Ah, yes!]
Indeed, considering Anima's personality, having her wait by herself wouldn't make Anima feel at ease, so when I suggested we make it together, Anima looked genuinely happy and nodded. Somehow, I feel like I'm seeing some phantom image of a puppy wagging its tail appearing behind her.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Guaahhhh, t- they're full-on flirting What's troublesome is that when it comes to Anima, Kaito is quite composed. It's tough how when he's the one leading his lover, he tends to get quite straightforward with his flirting.]
