But for the time being, I grope around her clothes, and take anything that seems like it might work as a weapon.
She was holding onto a small knife.
I don't think you would die with this, but for the time being I'll hold onto it.
Inside the room there's nothing dangerous.
The window is... it's the second floor after all, a bit dangerous.
I guess I should fix it in place with earth magic huh.
Though if she shatters the glass of the window it would end there, but I want to think that right now she doesn't have that much energy.[7]
Since Nanahoshi wasn't moving, I went down to the first floor.
"Is she going to be alright?"
"Well..."
When I went down to the first floor Zanoba asked somewhat worriedly.
This guy seems like he'd be indifferent to gloom after all.
Though you can say he has weaknesses, but he's fundamentally positive after all.
"In any case, you helped me out there Zanoba."
"No, since I'm always depending on Shisho after all. There's nothing to worry about with this much."
Zanoba declared it with his same composed face as always.
As expected, he's a reliable man.
"Shisho, you as well, are you alright?"
"Me? Why?"
"It looked like shisho received some kind of shock when Silent-dono collapsed."
I've received some damage.
I wonder if that's the case.
Yeah.
I guess it is.
Nanahoshi was raging about in insanity.
After I stopped that, she became something like an empty shell.
Seeing that from start to end, I remembered things from the past.
In Nanahoshi's case, the shape is slightly different from me, but it's mental agony.
I'm feeling empathetic.
If the circumstances were a bit different, the one like that might have been me.
"Somewhat. I remembered something painful from the past."
"Is it fine for me to listen?"
"...During the time when I was small, I became like that, and just got lethargic and shut myself off."
"It's a sensation that I couldn't understand."
It was a forsaken way of putting it, but I don't want to simply be told that he understands.
"I'm sure."
"In any case, if there's a time when you need my power again, please ask, since I'm only overflowing in just power after all."
"Yeah, I'll rely on you."
I feel grateful to Zanoba's good will.
This guy as well, even if it doesn't involve dolls he's a good guy after all.
After that, a short while passed and Zanoba returned.
Since I had nothing to do, I spent the time reading in the room where Nanahoshi was sleeping.
I hesitated a bit whether to leave her alone or not.
In my case, during these sorts of times, you really want to be alone.
However, she's always been alone up until now.
She was alone.
Until Sylphy returned, I was at Nanahoshi's side.
