215 198. Wake up.

... Yaba. My body is very heavy. This is an overused recoil. Will that happen if I use Level 10 magic continuously for the first time on a boulder?

My eyelids are also heavy and I can have the urge to stay asleep, but I need to wake up here. I never open my eyes, and there's...

"Shh."

There was a Chanel who looked so happy and slept on me... hmm? Why are you doing this? I don't know why, but I can't help it as it is, so I move to wake Chanel... but for some reason I can't move my arms.

Look on the right. There, Alexia, holding my right arm, was asleep. When I looked at the other side, Krona was sleeping over there. Why is everybody in my room?

I don't know what time it is for now so I look out and it looks like the sun is just starting to come out.

But as for me waking up, this condition is tight inside. Especially Chanel sleeping on me for some reason.... Soft all over.

You noticed me hanging around, Krona, sleeping on the left, woke up. She looks cute rubbing her eyes and blurring. And when you see me with your eyes, your cat ears pick up, pin! Stand.

"Les, Master Ray! You woke up!?

"Oh, good morning, Krona"

When I say hello, Krona will happily hold my hand. I guess Krona is also used to it because she lost her mind in the previous war.

Because I moved my body, Chanel, who was on top of me, slipped away towards Alexia and fell straight out of bed.

"Humph!?

……

……

"... hmm? What? Shut up... Ray! You're up!

"Oh, oh, good morning, Alexia. More than that, I'm out of bed now...... Mmmm!

"Already! Let me worry every time! By Ray!

"Ahhh! No, it's sloppy, Master Alexia! Master Ray, I was so worried about you, too!

I woke up, watching Alexia hug me, and Krona worried about herself too! And he's been holding my arm. Whoa! There's something soft in Krona too... she seems to be developing well for 11... No, is this what it is?

You're in pain for that, Alexia. It's been a long time since I've been pinched in the chest, but what's painful is painful. It fits and is extra because it changes shape to match my face shape.

"I was there... I fell asleep on your cousin because of you... what are you doing, Mr. Alexia! Even Krona!

There, Chanel, who had fallen out of bed earlier, rose. And bitter about the status quo on the bed now. Good, keep pulling Alexia off me, Chanel. I'm glad Alexia hugged me, too, but I can't breathe like this.

"It's sloppy! I hug you too!

... Huh? Chanel says things that don't make sense, and the bed shakes. And there's a soft feeling on me again. Krona on his left arm. Alexia on her right arm and face. My hips to my top are hugged by Chanel and I can't move... it's time to breathe...

◇ ◇ ◇

"Yes, ahhh, Master Ray!

"No, I'll eat myself..."

"Ahhh!

"... ahhh"

I tried to say no because I could eat myself, but I would shut up about my hegemony enough not to even let you say whether or not Krona was there.

It's just me and Krona in the room right now. Alexia left the room to tell General Meliá what happened to me, and Chanel left when she went to report to Mari.

Krona made me a simple dish using the kitchen that came with the room because I would be hungry... on second thought, this is the first time I've eaten Krona's hand cooking.

Food is a dessert with porridge and shredded fruit to be nice to my stomach just when I wake up. Krona deliberately spoons it to feed me.

It's a little embarrassing, but Krona seems to be having fun, so let's keep eating.

Then some time later, Alexia came into the room with the Merriam generals. Elea, Sizuk, and Bardon told me they were worried, and only Douglas laughs at me for watching me feed him from Krona. You hit him later.

Afterwards Chanel brought in Mari and Luciana...... I guess Luciana already knows. You look terribly pale. I guess he hasn't slept because he's also made a bear under his eyes.

Then everyone sits around my bed and starts talking. I've been asleep for about a week, apparently. Well, you're always right. When I try to ask Alexia what happened in the meantime, she looks terribly troubled, but is something wrong?

"Alexia?"

"Ray. Don't panic. Listen to me, okay?

Alexia says that. What really happened? In the meantime, I can't talk about not asking, so I snort in silence.

"It was after the day that the demons attacked... when His Majesty the Emperor and the First Prince found the body of the Chancellor and the soldiers of the other escorts."

"Become!?

What the hell is going on? Why are His Majesty the Emperors dead? The seven demon generals and dragons who came to raid must have stopped at the walls and not been allowed inside the Imperial capital. And yet why?

"And the killer is now missing."

Luciana freaks out at Alexia's words...... more and more weird. Kaido did get taken in by the demon gods, but he should have been with the brave group during the raid. And yet, how could Hado be the killer?

"That's what all the brave men said, but the second prince, Prince Rosbel, didn't believe me."

Mari answered my question.

"Was the second prince alive?

"Yeah. Looks like Gargante, an S-rank adventurer, was on his side, and he saved me."

"... embedded"

Alexia also replies "I guess" to my crush. Obviously too forced.

Even though there is a witness testimony called the Brave Men, the Imperial Capital has Kaido as its culprit. Plus the only second prince who survived in the man's royal family. Gargante, who was on the side occasionally. I know it's here if you doubt it, but there's no proof. I can't say anything.

"What's going on with the Empire now?

"The second prince is taking over the throne and running it. The General has Gargante on him. That's why I can't tell you how suspicious I think everyone is."

"Well... well, there's nothing I can do about it now. I don't have any proof. More than that..."

I'm going to talk to everyone. The battle ahead is not something that can be managed individually. We have to protect the seals scattered all over the continent. We must also cooperate with other countries to that end.

Well, what's the matter? Do you want to return to the kingdom for now? Everyone will be worried, too. Then I guess I'll send out letters to countries with Alexia and my name in a string. My name sounds famous to Alexia, and she'll look at it.
