Chapter 35

༺ The First Letter (35) ༻

“When I’m troubled, whenever I encounter any difficulties, Senior Ian will always be there…….”

As Seria continued talking to herself, the light in her eyes gradually became dim. The sight of a beautiful girl repeating the same words like a hypnotized doll was a sight that in itself brought goosebumps.

It was around that time that I felt an indescribable sense of crisis.

It would be fair to define it as some kind of intuition. A voice from the depths of my heart was telling me to stop her.

I instinctively called her name.

“…Anyway, Seria. Are you alright?”

“A-Ah! Yes, of course! W-What was I talking about?”

It was only then that Seria suddenly was brought back to her senses. She realized that she had just behaved rudely, so she got nervous and lowered her gaze.

It seemed that she didn’t notice it. Was she still dizzy, having just woken up from her deep trance?

It was possible. The deeper you immerse yourself in meditation, the harder it is to return to reality.

I shook my head and pretended that nothing had happened.

“Did you listen to what I said? Did you still not fully wake up from your meditative state?”

“…… Yes I did.”

Seria’s face blushed again, probably embarrassed by her own actions. Today, she was expressing her feelings quite well. Usually, I would have to look closely in order to read her emotions.

It must be because we have gotten a lot closer. Thinking like that, I tapped her on the shoulder.

“Let’s swing our sword for now. It seems I myself am not fully awake yet. I feel like I would yawn any moment…….”

Having said that, I pretended to yawn. It was because I wanted Seria to feel a little less awkward. Perhaps having seen through my intentions, a mellow light flashed across Seria’s eyes as she looked at me gently.
