With Roxy’s return, the housesitting group raised cheers of joy.
Since they started exploring this labyrinth, it would be the first pleasant news, I guess.
I just want to bury that news into a hole I've dug myself already, though.
No, I won't say it.
Regardless of the cause, something happy is something happy.
Lilia promptly put Roxy into the bath.
During that time, I was trying to think of something I could do for Roxy's sake and was loitering around outside her room, but Vera drove me away.
I guess it means you're not supposed to approach the room when a girl is in the middle of bathing.
I absolutely did not have an ulterior motive.
I just thought I wanted to do something for her sake.
Really, just that.
Certainly, I do have a previous offense, though.
This time, I'm innocent.
I thought about asserting that, but I decided to let it pass.
…No, this is fine.
It's about me.
Suddenly, I looked to my side and saw neatly folded laundry.
It's not confined to my hand just like that grabbing the white cloth at the very top and putting it in my pocket. [1]
I can't afford to let the pitiful whispers of the past get to me.
This time it's "still" innocent.
Thinking about it like that, this is fine.
In order for Roxy to recover her strength, she needs several days of rest.
Even though I say that, she's an adventurer as well.
Without external wounds, she still has enough physical strength left to walk on her own.
If she just eats some good food and gets sound sleep on a soft bed, I'm sure she'll soon make a comeback.
It really doesn't seem like there's any problems.
Nevertheless, I suddenly ended up showing Roxy my unsightly places.
I hope she's not disillusioned.
Suddenly vomiting was impolite.
But, it was really a shock.
Even though I never forgot about Roxy.
I thought that Roxy forgot me.
…Come to think of it, Sylphy said she received a shock when she thought I forgot her, as well.
I wonder if Sylphy had these kinds of feelings at that time, as well.
After I return, it won't be good if I don't apologize to her.
