With blushed cheeks, Cheryl said so nonchalantly.
Chester’s smile froze – just as I was contemplating on how to resolve this conflict, an unexpected attack came from Cheryl.
「….. I can’t?」
Regarding my expression as one of refusal, Cheryl’s face clouded.
The slight shyness that was present earlier, was absent in this girl’s transient smile. The thought of Chester threatening … 「You made Cheryl sad?!」 was acutely transmitted to me.
….. What do you want me to do … (TLN: referring to Chester)
How should I solve this problem?
But, when those eyes stare into me, I can’t seem to refuse.
「No, maa …. Damn it all …. 」
As soon as I answered, Cheryl’s face bloomed like a flower.
…… Whatever happened that caused her to become so attached to me?
No, I understand. To have a friend of the same age, I’m likely the first one. (TLN: nope u don’t)
Unlike our peers, my power was not inferior to hers, so the people she could interact with, other than Chester, was me alone.
Between the embarrassment and the gazes – the awfully tiring dinner was very much steadily progressing.
「She fell asleep」
I sighed as I caressed Cheryl’s head, who was lying asleep on my lap.
Craziness (TLN: actual meaning is high spirits), eating, and then sleeping. The girl was carrying a gloomy air around her – yet looking at her now, she looks just like a simple child.
I grasp at a handful of her spectacular white silk (TLN: referring to her hair -_-).
Silver hair is not a rare sight for elves but, Cheryl’s snow white hair was unique.
「She’s become attached huh …. Isn’t she cute?」
「…… Is that so」 (This should be slava)
Sitting next to Cheryl was Chester, casting a gentle gaze on her quietly sleeping figure.
It seems this guy has calmed down too. Mattaku, the existence known as grandchild is truly a frightening thing.
Just thinking of the friendly smile that was on Chester’s face, made me want to vomit.
I can’t believe that he would succumb to the stereotype of the 「Friendly Grandpa」.
「For Cheryl, to have someone of the same age play with her, is a first. (TLN: Guess MC took one of her “firsts”)(ED: (;^_^)ッ☆( ゜o゜) ) She’s caused a lot of trouble but, I hope you’ll be tolerant towards her?」
「It’s nothing to be concerned about. She just can’t control her power well. Well, I’m just a little tired, that’s it.」
What was on the quiet sleeping face of the young girl, was a smile.
A smile without madness (TLN: craziness? idk), unlike a predator hunting – it was an age-appropriate, smile of a young girl.
Too mighty a magic sometimes cause a distortion in a person’s character.
To carry such power also contributes to this.
If she didn’t have that extent of power, she would probably have been a lovely ordinary girl.
「 ….. She’s, a half elf and half magus, was what I said?」
