CH 472.1

Shomin no Aji - Chapter 472.1

Kaguya’s compromise.

We managed to shake off the persistent Teacher Neil and went back to our room…

(Haah… that was an experience.)

As soon as she entered the room, Kaguya slipped out of my hands and landed on the floor, moving to the sofa with a slight stride and curled up.

“Hey, Kaguya. What did you do with Suzaku-sama during that time?”

(You don’t have to ask, do you? She forcefully dressed me up like her personal dress-up doll.)

… I thought so~

I sat down on the sofa and picked up the limp Kaguya and placed her on my lap.

And when I lightly stroked her back, letting the magic power flow from my palm into her, Kaguya's eyes narrowed in comfort.

(Oh~ over there. That place, too…)

“N? Here?”

(Yeah. Take a proper pity on me who stuck out for you and endured.)

“Fufu, you have worked hard.”

As Kaguya urged me to pet her, Mashiro, who had returned to his Sacred Beast form, sat down next to me and leaned over.

(Cristea, pat me, too?)

“Yesyes.”

While stroking Kaguya with my right hand, I stroked Mashiro with my left. While petting them and thinking that I really am nimble-fingered, Kurogane was staring at me fixedly.

… Erm, I already have my hands full, okay?

I don't think he's going to grab Kaguya and throw her like he did before, but…

Perhaps finally recovering thanks to my magic power, Kaguya stretched lightly, got up, and jumped off my lap.

“Ah.”

I couldn't help but extend my hand, but I couldn't move any further as Mashiro quickly climbed on top of me.

(Hah~ good grief. I’m tired, so I’m going to sleep.)

Kaguya said, and headed for my bedroom, where she had her own basket.

Ugh, she's always so dry.

"Kaguya, we are eating in the dining hall starting tomorrow, okay?"

In response to my question, Kaguya stopped dead in her tracks and turned around with a sullen look on her face.

(... I’m going to eat dinners in the dining hall because that bird woman told me to as well, but forget about breakfast and lunch. Won’t I be used as a toy all day long if I get caught early in the morning? I would rather not.)
