BXBX NOVEL Chapter 67 Sleep Together
I touch my head to check if the headache already is gone or it\'s still there, I poke hard on my head where I feel the pain come before and it feels like there was no pain left or anything, my head isn\'t all fuzzy or anything, I think it\'s safe to say that I\'m completely fine now.
"Ilya-nee, what time is it?"
"Hm? ah, around 10 maybe? everyone was already asleep now"
"Then why Ilya-nee still here and not going to sleep?"
"Is it wrong for a big sister to worried about her little brother?"
Ah, that\'s right, why am I asking something stupid like that? I should be happy that Ilya-nee is here for me, but I can\'t let Ilya-nee for staying up late like this.
*Growl...~
"Ah, as I thought you will get hungry after all those sleep"
"I\'m sorry Ilya-nee, I will try to sleep again, Ilya-nee can sleep too now"
"Don\'t be stupid, you can\'t sleep with an empty stomach, let\'s go to the dining room, I will cook you something to eat"
"All right..."
I decided to just follow Ilya-nee from behind, right after we leave the room, I faced a big hallway, I look around and it looks so quiet, I can even hear my footsteps echoing on the wall, are all nobles houses are like this? Even the end of the hall looks so far for me, I kind of feel bad for nobles now, they have to walk around in the big house like this every day, their day must be very tiring.
"Oh, Ilya-sama and Erwin-sama, may I know why both of you walking around the house at this late?"
Suddenly a woman wearing a black dress with a white apron appears when we\'re about to go downstairs, she looks so mature and elegant, her white hair is wavy and looks so wonderful, I feel like I\'ve met her before somewhere.
"Marina-san, I\'m sorry, but, can I use the kitchen? I want to cook something for Erwin since he was just woken up and have eaten nothing"
"Oh, Erwin-sama, is your condition better now?"
The maid notices me and walks closer to me, I remember now, she\'s Marina-san, she\'s the one who saved me back then when I got into trouble fighting a magical beast wolf type, if I remember correctly, she was the one who healed my wounds didn\'t she?
"Erwin, Marina-san is the one who healed your wounds on your head, you need to thank her properly,"
"Thank you for your help Marina-san, you saved me twice, I can\'t thank you enough"
"I\'m just doing my job, Elis-sama asked me to do that, I think you must thank Elis-sama instead"
With still lowering my head, I began to think, I saw fire magic before when I was fighting the magical beast, that fire magic saves me from the wolf that pounced at me, then, if Marina-san\'s magic is a healing type, then Elis-nee was the one who has the fire magic.
"Wait, what are you talking about Erwin?"
Ilya-nee looks confused, I\'m not aware at first, but it just slipped out my tongue, I shouldn\'t be saying that or else Ilya-nee might get mad at me for that one time, a cold sweats began to fall from my forehead, I try to look away to avoid this topic if possible and I don\'t want to make Ilya-nee suspicious about it.
"Erwin-sama was lost back then in the forest and Elis-sama found him just standing and looking around in confusion, that\'s why Erwin-sama brought us home with him before, we accompany him to get home safely,"
Eh? what? that\'s not how it was, right? I turn my face and look at Marina-san, she looks so calm while telling that story to Ilya-nee, is she planning to convince Ilya-nee with that story?
"Ah... I see, so that\'s why Erwin brought home Elis-san and Marina-san with him before"
"Yes"
Eh? Ilya-nee believes that? I turn my eyes and look at Marina-san once again, she still remains calm, but, when she notices that I keep staring at her, she gives me a wink, she was still able to maintain her calmness, what an act she\'s putting on right now, but, I think I need to thank her later for helping me to get out from this situation.
"Well then, Marina-san, can we use the kitchen?"
"Ilya-sama, you can freely use it, but, can I also help you? I\'m still worried about Erwin-sama, I\'m the one who heals his injury, I need to make sure he\'s all fine now"
"But, will it bother you? Marina-san also need to sleep since it\'s already late"
"Don\'t worry about me Ilya-sama, I just need to properly nurse my patient"
"But still, Marina-san is such a reliable person"
"Thank you for your esteem Ilya-sama, I\'m so honored, then let me show us the way"
"Thank you Marina-san"
"It\'s nothing special Ilya-sama, it\'s also my pleasure to be able to nurse Erwin-sama"
Ilya-nee is holding my hand tightly, I walk down the stairs slowly, Ilya-nee seems to keep her pace the same with me and not to just drag me along with her.
"May I know what to cook, Ilya-sama?"
"Let\'s see, Erwin is already hungry, maybe something simple and not taking much time to get prepared?"
"We can make a sunny side up if Ilya-sama is willing something that can be prepared fast, we still have some rice left from the dinner, I\'m sorry for that one"
"Ah Marisa-san, you don\'t need to lower your head like that, Erwin, you don\'t mind about it, right?"
"Eh? ah yeah, it\'s fine, right? food is still food"
I just sit and watch them from my seat, I\'ve decided to just eat in the kitchen since there is a pretty big table here, and I can eat the food right after it comes off the pan, nothing is more pleasurable than eating warm food right after it cooked.
"Then, let me prepare a dessert for Erwin-sama"
Marina-san bows her head before she leaves the kitchen and went off somewhere, she said she will prepare the dessert, but honestly, I don\'t really mind even there are no desserts, it\'s fine to just eat the main dish as long as it can fill my stomach.
"Then, wait a minute Erwin, it won\'t take long, okay?"
I just nod to Ilya-nee, for me to be able to taste Ilya-nee\'s cooking again already makes me happy, I don\'t mind how long will it take for the food to be prepared, I will just sit and look around the room from my seat, this kitchen looks big, I think it\'s bigger than our store, it looks awesome to see a kitchen as big as this.
"Here, sorry for the wait"
Ilya-nee doesn\'t need to take more than 5 minutes just to prepare the food she serves in front of me right now, the sunny side up tempts me to quickly eat it and gulp it down my belly.
I eat the food with a big smile on my face, it\'s not like the food taste really good or anything, it just because I\'m finally able to taste Ilya-nee\'s cooking again and eat it together with her, although, it\'s only me who eat the food right now, I\'m still happy.
"I\'m sorry for the wait, I made this, can you please try it, Elis-sama, Erwin-sama?"
"Eh, is this for the dessert?"
"Yes, I tried to make it after Ilya-sama teach me, the reason why I haven\'t sleep is that because I wanted to try and make it before I sleep"
What I see in front of me is a round-shaped hard cookie Ilya-nee and I usually sell at the store, so Ilya-nee taught Marina-san of how to make it huh, well, I ate some this afternoon, it\'s fine to eat it as a late-night snack, isn\'t it?
"Then, Ilya-sama, Erwin-sama, I shall leave now, I need to do something tomorrow morning"
"Ah, we\'re sorry to bother you Marina-san"
"It\'s fine, I\'m glad the cookies I made were into your liking, then, Goodnight"
"Goodnight Marina-san"
I look at Marina-san turning her back to us and left, she looks so mature and so reliable, I wonder if all maid were like that.
"Then, Erwin, want to sleep with big sis tonight?"
"Eh, I want it, I want it, let\'s sleep together"
It\'s been a while since the last time I sleep together with Ilya-nee, of course, I\'d gladly take her offer to sleep together, I can stay at her side longer now.
"Then, let\'s get back once we finish it"
I nodded excitedly with my mouth still full of cookies I chewed, I want to quickly eat and finish the cookies and went back to sleep with Ilya-nee.
"Ah, eat it carefully, duh"
Ilya-nee is looking at me with a smile on her face, she looks calm but I feel like she\'s being happy inside her.
