Chapter 14: Grumbling
Rui is also training with Yania today.
However, it wasn't so much about training, it was actually Yania who was unilaterally teaching Rui a lesson.
Rui is a layman and doesn't know anything about combat. It took her a long time just to understand that those places could cause fatal injuries to the human body.
"Listen to Rui, the throat is the weakest organ in the human body. If you get injured, you will soon fall into a state of suspended animation due to lack of oxygen! ”
"Huh? But obviously the master once stitched his throat for himself? ”
The list goes on and on.
Today's day's harvest is only two points.
First, Rui is not suitable to be a combat-oriented talent.
2. Yuki Tatsumi is an out-and-out monster......
According to Rui, this guy is a super monster who can joke about his severed limb, can not hesitate to discount his joints, and will not die even if someone cuts his throat and pierces his heart......
To hell, can this guy really be classified as human?
However, Aniyath understood instead. After all, Rui didn't know this knowledge, she must have read it wrong. The throat was just cut, and she thought it was a fatal wound or something. Just as a mother would instinctively exaggerate her child's pain, Rui also instinctively exaggerated You's injury, and then further exaggerated this master who could ignore even fatal injuries, giving herself the impression that the master is omnipotent. Probably so.
Rui took a simple shower after training, and returned to the room in a simple undershirt and shorts, and You had already returned.
"The host ......"
Not wanting Yu Tatsumi to worry about himself, Rui's mood suddenly became a little flustered. She instinctively chose the name she had used for a long time.
"I'm back."
You also sensed that something was wrong with Rui.
It's hard to explain the feeling.
I have to say that the sense of presence has become stronger.
As if, this person is not Rui, but someone else's feelings.
Rui has lived by Youyou's side for so long, and he has always looked indifferent, as if he "deserved" his existence, and he will not be abrupt. For example, if you stumble upon a mediocre boulder on the mountain, you won't even stop. The previous Rui was similar to this feeling.
But now, Rui's feeling is still an ordinary boulder, but there is a sense of incongruity. It's as if this stone is not found in a mountainous area, but in a forest. All of a sudden, you will feel "why is it here?"
It's hard to express, but it's something like that.
Is it that medicine? You remembered the very suspicious medicine he had received from Joachim.
Sure enough, let's test him tomorrow.
You make up your mind. Talk to a panicked Rui.
"Rui, I might eat out today, maybe I'll stay outside. Do you want to be together? ”
Rui tilted his head at first, showing a slightly troubled expression, not fully understanding the meaning of You.
"Outside live? Got a mission? ”
Yu Tatsumi had taken her on several missions before, and each time it was an extremely dangerous mission. With Rui is worried that someone will attack his residence while he is away.
Could it be that this time it was a similar situation?
Do you want to notify the rest of the Support Division?
Before she knew it, Rui was starting to think about other people's things.
"No, there is no danger. It was to Noelle's house. ”
“……”
Rui was silent.
After a while, she spoke slowly.
"I, I'm not going."
That name made Rui's heart ache suddenly. A feeling I've never felt before.
Some of it hurts like being cut on your finger with a kitchen knife when you cook for the first time.
If it's with Miss Noelle, the host will be happy, right?
He was rarely willing to bully a person like that. In front of ordinary friends, he will always be a calm and reliable big brother image, and he will not confide in anyone. But in fact, Rui understands, he just doesn't know how to say it. He's a slave just like himself. For slaves, it is enough to passively accept orders.
Yu Tatsumi is a man who doesn't know how to interact with people normally, so he can only show that reliable appearance at all times - even that reliable appearance is ninety percent imitating Crutz Nardang, imitating the man who is trusted by everyone.
Therefore, he would bully Noelle so actively, it was the shyness that he didn't dare to face his feelings, right?
In the unexpected place, Rui's mind is a little more mature than You.
If that's the case, you'll really be a burden in the past.
"Is that so? I understand. ”
Yu Tatsumi nodded silently.
Rui's heart darkened, and she tried hard to persuade herself: This is the best. The most suitable for the host.
"Now, Rui. Just listen to the whining. Can you listen to me? ”
You take two steps back, lean your back against the wall, and slowly sit down on the edge of the wall.
Rui felt that this action was somewhat familiar. I suddenly remembered that this was the case for the first time two people spent the night.
Yu gave up his bed to himself, and then he sat on the floor against the wall and slept all night.
Remember, the first words at that time were......
"From today...... We're going to live together...... Is it so? ”
Rui repeated the sentence in her head intermittently and uncertainly.
"Ah, so you remember."
You smiled. The smile warmed Rui's heart.
Remember? Of course I remember. I know everything about my master, and I remember it by heart.
An inexplicable sense of pride and superiority.
You ignored her small happiness and continued.
"Like you, I was born in Saiaru. So, I'm sure you can understand me. ”
There was a rare sadness in his voice.
"What family is, I never know. The only people who can be considered my family are the slaves who were also slaves in the slave group back then. However, isn't it a little sad to think about how to kill each other's families all day long? ”
"The first time I came across the concept of family was with Mr. Crutz. Occasionally, he would send letters to people from afar, presumably to contact his family, right? There are also the rest of Liberal, Estelle has parents, and a stepbrother. Kolos also had a grandmother. In fact, I never found it strange that I didn't even think about it before I left Liber. So, I actually bought you subconsciously. ”
You casually said shocking words.
It turns out that I was just bought on a whim? But even so, you're my benefactor. Rui once again strengthened her belief in her heart. Only with this can she claim without guilt, confidently, and even proudly: I am the person who believes in him in the world!
However, according to psychology, the choices that a person makes in his subconscious are often what his heart desires the most. So, subconsciously, I should have wanted to have a family. That's why I bought you who were also unfettered. Treat it as my family. Mother? Sister? Younger sister? Or is it a daughter? I'm sorry, but I still can't understand human feelings. But, you are very important to me. ”
Suddenly hearing the words that were almost confessional, Rui panicked, her body heated up for no reason, and her face was red.
For slaves, the sentence that makes them feel the most is not I love you, but I need you.
"So, it's good for you to stay with me like this. As if I wasn't going to leave you, you weren't going to leave me. The so-called family is to live together, right? ”
Half-forcedly said this, You scratched his head a little shyly.
"Then I'll go shopping first, anyway, see you in the evening or tomorrow. - You have to refuel over there, too. ”
Then, as if in disguise, he jumped out of the window and fled. Rui walked slowly to the window, feeling the place he had just stepped on. He was no longer visible outside the window. It's really fast.
"Really...... Are you hiding your shyness? ”
showed a mother's helpless and gentle expression in the face of a stubborn son.
"I just said that I won't leave me, so I'll leave right away."
Of course, Rui understands that what he said about "don't leave" does not mean to stay inseparable, and he has no interest in chewing words.
"Let me cheer up...... Did you see through that I was learning swordsmanship from Miss Anias...... Still is...... Let...... Let...... Let me cheer up...... Do ......"
The body temperature is too high to think, and the logic is so chaotic that it can't be organized into sentences.
"Actually, let me cheer up to be his bride?"
In his mind, it was as if a voice was muttering. Then, Rui's mind descended into darkness, and she was overexcited and fainted.
