「Gyaaaaaaaaaagghhhh!!!!」

A wild scream echoed throughout the mansion, and what followed was very quick.

The man, who was in agony from the pain of the back of his leg I had stepped on, was reversed, and with a flash of Douglas-sama who rushed to him, the knife was sent flying and he was secured in the blink of an eye.

I couldn’t move and could only watch in amazement.

「Dammit, you bitch, I’ll fucking kill you!!」

Such angry shouts reached my ears, but I was having none of it.

The man’s body left my body, and the terrible cold disappeared, but my head was in turmoil from the terrible discomfort. I didn’t want to grasp what was happening and what was going on, and it was difficult to even understand what was taking place in front of me.

「Marsha, are you fine…!?」

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Raul rushing toward me. I vaguely recognized it, but what my gaze caught was the figure of Douglas-sama.

「…Douglas-sama…!」

I slip through Raul’s outstretched hand and with a quick glance dive into the white shirt that Douglas-sama’s squad uniform has opened.

「Owah, what, what’s wrong!?」

The panicked voice of Douglas-sama overhead, but I don’t care. I rub my forehead and cheek against his shirt as if I were hugging him.

「Huh? Hey, Marsha??」

I tried to pull away, but Douglas-sama was bewildered by my desperate resistance to not wanting to, but he let me do as I pleased as if he had given up. I took advantage of this and clung to the white shirt as long as I wanted.

I heard Raul calling my name behind me, but I didn’t care. I wanted to get rid of this sickening feeling as soon as possible.

「Nguuuuuhh!!!」

「You, where’s that voice coming from?」

I couldn’t care less about the sound of my disgusted voice. It was just really, really bad, just plain bad, and I honestly couldn’t stand it.

That horrible feeling of being licked from cheek to temple. It was warm, fishy, and disgusting. I wanted to scream out because it was so sickening, but I was just barely rational enough to growl. Still unable to resist, I rubbed my forehead as hard as I could to wipe it away, but the feeling did not go away so easily.

Disgusting, it’s disgusting.

It’s so sickening that I can’t help but weep.

「Ah—… Oh, man, what a mess.」

I guess Douglas-sama could see that his shirt was getting wet. He sounded annoyed, but the unbearable tears were absorbed more and more into his shirt.

I don’t want to cry. I don’t want to cry over something like this. Above all, I didn’t want to be seen crying.

I desperately held back my sobs and put on an air of pretense so that no one would think I was crying. It’s too late for Douglas-sama, though.

In response to my condition, Douglas-sama took off his uniform and put it over my head.

「Ahh, you’re injured. You need immediate medical attention. I’ll take you to the medical officer!」

I thought I heard Douglas-sama’s deliberate barbed dialogue, and then my body floated away. It’s a vertical hug, or what is called a child carrier.

I was so mad that I slammed my fist into Douglas-sama’s back.

「Oops, I told you.」

I slam my fist down again on Douglas-sama, who complains so.

「Yes, yes, it’s all right, so calm down.」

Douglas-sama patted me on the back in a rhythmic manner, as if he were trying to quiet a child. I was pissed off and frustrated, but the calming warmth of his hand relaxed my body, and I finally burst into sobs.

「Uuuuuhh…!」

「Oh–oh, what’s wrong?」

“Let it out,” Douglas-sama said, “your Dear Brother will hear you.” I couldn’t say back, “you’re not my brother,” because my sobs were getting in the way. Then another pat on the back and a weak sound spilled out of my mouth regardless of my intention. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒏𝒆𝒕

「I was licked…」

「Oh–oh, I’ll wipe you clean later, but for now you’ll have to put up with my shirt.」

「…Liam-kun’s ring has also withered… Egh.」

「You can have it again. He’ll be happy to make you another one.」

「…I felt so sick…!」

「Heal yourself on Meari’s belly…I mean, I’m pretty sure it’s packed. You don’t have a choice. Soothe yourself on my shoulder.」

「That’s impossible…」

「Don’t be extravagant.」

Because what kind of healing can sprout on these broad, hard shoulders of Douglas-sama?

「Liam-kun’s cheek… egh… a kiss is fine.」

「I won’t allow that!」

「Whyyyyy!」

That’s the best way to heal, but if he says he’s my Dear Brother, I can’t blame him for being willing to listen to his sister’s requests, can I?

「It was really, really frightening…!」

Ever since I was taken prisoner, I have had other people by my side that I had to protect. The poor little maid of the Palace of the Royal Princess, the Countess Bauer, who used me. These people were the reason I was able to hang on. But the truth is, I wanted to cling to someone.

「Right, right, yes. It was scary.」

Thump-thump.

「You did a great job. You did well.」

Thump-thump.

「…Yeah.」

Dammit. I won’t let Douglas-sama’s shoulder heal me, but I’m willing to concede about 100 steps and forgive him for that pompousness.

「……Do it more.」

The request is for an additional one.

「Yes, yes. My sister is so selfish.」

「It’s my reward for all my hard work.」

「Buhahah, that’s a nice little reward for you, huh.」

As I exchanged replies with Douglas-sama in this way, I found myself finally calming down. The vibrations of Douglas-sama’s walking were pleasant to me. It felt good to be tapped in rhythm with the popping. I mean, I already have one foot in the slight sleep.

「……I’m hungry.」

“Guuh,” And a small rumbling in my stomach. But drowsiness prevails over hunger, and my consciousness gradually fades away.

「You can eat when you wake up. Good night, Marsha.」

Yeah, I will. Good night.

And so I let go of my consciousness. Apparently, what happened after that was difficult, but I was already in a dream. I didn’t know about it until later.
