Chapter 180: Sympathy?
“”I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you!””
“Oh, no… It’s okay…”
Today is the day after I woke up. Yesterday, only Sophie came to bring me food, but no one else came. The reason no one else came was because Sophie said she wouldn’t let them come because she couldn’t rest if I was surrounded by strangers when I was sick. And now Emily, Tiya and Judy came to my room and got down on their knees. My request? Orders? I can’t use honorifics, so my actions and words are a little off. By the way, Sophie came to the room earlier than the three of them and has been there ever since.
“We let the demons pass and this happened…”
“It’s really okay!”
This means I’ve been asleep for a week. But that’s probably because of evolution. No one knows what happened after Sophie fainted, so they didn’t know what happened to me.
“But…”
“Forget it!”

After that, I managed to convince them to treat me normally as before. After a short conversation, the three of them left the room. The village was said to be half destroyed. I heard that almost all of the houses and other buildings had been restored by magic. However, this time they found out that the entire village’s defense was weak, so they are working to improve it. In particular, they are trying to increase the strength of the castle, as they don’t want it to be easily destroyed just because they are dealing with demons. By the way, they didn’t ask me what happened after Sophie fainted. I’m sorry if I made them feel uncomfortable. I’ll tell them all about it next time when Elira is here. I don’t think there’s much to say, though… How is Elira?
Knock, knock!
“Who is…”
“Sorry to bother you.”
And a few minutes after the three of them left the room, Elira came into the room at the right time. No, there’s no point in knocking if you’re going to come in before I answer…
“Good…. You look fine.”
“I’m glad to see that your arm looks okay.”
Elira’s cut arm had healed back to normal. I would have felt responsible if I had caused her to become a one-arm.
“What are you doing here…”
Sophie glared at Elira and complained in a clearly antagonistic voice to Elira.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you until the end then.”

She glanced sideways at Sophie, then completely ignored her and took a few steps closer to the bed where I was and said so. The time that Elira is referring to is probably when we were fighting the dragon demon.
“No, I’m fine. I’m really glad that your arm is healed.”
“Hmmm…”
When I said that, Elira blushed a little and looked away from me.
“You’re getting too close to Zero onii-chan.”
Sophie moved in between me and Elira when she said so. Even if she says it’s too close, there’s still less than a meter between me and Elira, including the bed. Usually Sophie is much closer.
“You were here? I didn’t notice.”
She glared at Sophie earlier, didn’t she? Could it be that the two of them are ……?
“Those who passed out in the middle of the fight without being able to protect Zero onii-chan until the end have no right to speak.”
“I realize that I didn’t do enough and I’m sorry about that. Well… I guess I’m better than some other person who couldn’t do anything against the enemy instead of protecting this guy and was knocked out at the beginning rather than in the middle.”

“Are you trying to pick a fight?”
“Oh? I’m not saying anyone in particular. Did something happen to make you aware of it? Sophia?”
“Hmmm…”
“Hmmm…”
The two of them seemed to be firmly at odds with each other. How could they become like this after only a week of meeting?
“I’m looking forward to that day.”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it.”
What’s that day? And Elira, you came to visit me, didn’t you? Isn’t she talking to Sophie more than me? It’s like she came to argue with Sophie rather than visit me.
“I’m really relieved that you’re doing well. I’ll be back.”
“Bye, Elira.”
“You don’t have to come back.”
“I’ll be back.”
With that, Elira left the room. Then Sophie clicked her tongue.
“What’s that day?”
“That’s the thing!”
At any rate, I didn’t want to be mute with this atmosphere, so I spoke to Sophie. Then, the sullen face she had been talking to Elira with earlier changed completely and she responded with a quick smile, as if a flower had bloomed.
“A week after Zero onii-chan recovers, she and I are going to have a mock battle in his presence.”
I wonder what really happened in the week that I was asleep…. As a man, I probably shouldn’t ask why, since it’s between women. Even if it’s something I shouldn’t say, Sophie would probably say it without hesitation…
“You can be rest assured. I’ll beat the crap out of her!”
“Eh… well… good luck…”
“Yes!”
Normally, Elira wouldn’t stand a chance against the evolved Sophie. However, if she can use her spirit magic well, should she be able to? I don’t know. But I’m looking forward to the mock battle between the two of them. After that, I’d like to have a mock battle too. I can’t wait to try out my evolved skills.
