「Kuu……W-wait, Slavemancer Tooru!」
The moment she stood up, her stomach suddenly rumbled adorably with a *kuuu*.
Both the princess and I couldn’t stop ourselves from laughing and she was left with a magnificent blush.
「I understand, don’t worry, I will also prepare a portion of food for you to eat」
「Auu……..! A-asides from that! I haven’t forgiven you for what you’ve done you know!? I am grateful for the fact that you protected the Princess, however, but the things you did to Kirika is a completely different story!」
「Yea yeah, I will listen to your complaints later. Even for you, aren’t you feeling tired? Stop forcing yourself and go rest in bed. Here, grab on to me」
Celesta was still on the floor and I extended a helping hand…..and for a while she just sat there with a dumbfounded expression as she stared at my face.
Abruptly shaking her head left and right, even her ears were becoming red and her ponytail hair was swaying left and right as she averted her gaze.
「T-there is no need to give unnecessary consideration to a knight! I can stand on my own! 」
「Is that so? alright then, suit yourself」
「In that case, I will see you again later, Celesta. We need to drink tea together again sometime soon, alright?」
I left the obstinate Celesta behind as I went out of her room together with the princess.
I could her a soft murmur or grumbling as I left the scene, but I couldn’t really make out what she was saying——.
「……I didn’t know it because he always had his mask on but……Is that what his face looks like?…… it’s totally unexpected and he looks so young…..I always thought he was older….. H-he’s so good at it so I…..Auuuu, W-what am I thinking…….!?」
