Chapter 255 255 A complicated morning
[Lucy's POV: ]
"El, here's your-"
"Hump!"
...
"El, take this towel-"
"Hump!"
…
"So, El, what do you-"
"Hump!"
"But, I haven't even-"
"Hump!!"
…
"Here. I just made something I thought-"
"Hump!"
"So, you don't want-"
-Slap!
"Hump."
She slapped me, harshly, took the coffee and the breakfast bowl from my hand, and looked away with that same upset face she had been making since early this morning…
'Haaaaa…'
And the reason she was behaving like this, as one may wonder, was because she fell asleep yesterday.
-Thump!
She finished her breakfast, with the same upset look, puffed cheeks, irritated eyes, and messy clothes on her as it had been since the time I woke up and found her sleeping like a baby beside me.
'I acted out of character yesterday and it upset her so, to make up for her nearly ahead tears, she wanted me to 'play' with her for the entire night. Yes, the entire night. Till the morning. And neither of us actually had enough strength left to do that.'
She was already exhausted after doing her special ballet in the morning so, her physical body needed rest to function properly today, and I was mentally exhausted as well so sleep was necessary.
But she wasn't ready to accept this.
'She has been upset since early this morning and, she is hitting me like I am nothing but a punching bag to her.'
She also had puffed cheeks that looked quite cute on her, but, I know just like how she hit me this morning because I greeted her with a morning kiss as soon as she 'woke up', she would hit me again.
And it would hurt like hell, again.
'I don't want to experience that pain anymore today, so, it's better to just have her be upset and do everything within my power to not make her mood worse.'
And, I did just that.
I didn't ask why she hit me, I didn't ask why she was washing my hair in the bathroom even though I didn't like it, I didn't ask why she wasn't answering what she wanted to eat, and I mostly didn't ask her anything and did everything by myself.
And she thankfully wasn't being patty enough to not accept my breakfast, so, this was at least a good sight.
I wasn't being punished unfairly this time.
"So, should we visit them before going to class-"
"Hump!"
We went to the living room and Eva was already there, ready to greet us along with Friday… but just seeing her cute face that indicated anger, the two of them understood this was 'one of those' days and, gave me a look of pity.
"Eva~. How are you doing today~. What a fine morning it is, Friday~."
"Yes mother-, I mean master."
"I am fine as well, El. And if you are looking for a family of four, they are in guest room 30."
"Oh? Thanks Eva~. You are farrrrrr better than a certain, fucking jerk."
She gave me a momentary look of disdain and with another, (Hump!), she vanished from the living room and perhaps went to the lab area instead of the guest rooms.
[[ One went to the Alchemy Lab, master. ]]
[[ "I guessed as much. Thanks, Anna." ]]
[[ Hehehe. One is quite funny sometimes. ]]
[[ "And that funny attitude of hers is painful to your dear master, little one." ]]
[[ Hehehe. But Master still likes it. Which is even more peculiar~. ]]
Everything is peculiar when it comes to this sister of mine, dear. She is, impossible to handle.
"Lu? Did she eat?"
"Thankfully she did. Looks like she will go back to normal by lunchtime, or perhaps by dinner."
"Either that, or papa-, ahem! I mean Master's partner will have to endure more tonight."
"That's sadly true as well, Friday. But let's hope that it doesn't come to that."
She had ordered him to only call me her partner even though he didn't like how that sounded.
But, he was powerless against her orders. He had to call me something strange even though I didn't mind him calling me papa, or by my name.
"Then I will see you two later… ah. Right."
I turned to Friday, the young attractive man who must have been attractive to that family as well. And thanked him sincerely.
"You did well handling them yesterday. And I would appreciate it if you could continue doing it until Eva learns their language as well."
"You have no reason to thank me, master's partner. I was merely doing what master asked me to do."
This young slime was a cute and smart one…
'Her damn luck is quite good sometimes and it makes me feel jelly.'
She is lucky, but that still doesn't help with the current situation where I wasn't even at fault this time.
'Usually, when I want to rest and she wants to play, I do some 'stuff' that naturally makes her sleepy, while this time, I didn't even do anything.'
I knew we had to sleep and I was just about to start doing what I needed to in order to put her to sleep, but before I could do that, she got sleepy herself, and after around six or so hours into the playing, and by that I definitely did not mean foreplay, she fell asleep.
'Perhaps it was the lunch, or perhaps she was just exhausted from everything, but she fell asleep herself, and I was the one paying for something I had no hand in.'
This isn't easy… but seeing her like that isn't that bad either.
[[ Master, one left the lab and is now standing before the guest room. ]]
"Which is our call to leave as well."
I was chatting with the two until Anna told me, afterwards, I teleported to the guest room door after saying goodbye to the two of them.
"Hello, El-"
"Hump!"
She opened the door without even looking at me, and we entered the spacious room that was completely different from many other rooms on this floor.
It was luxurious. Perfect for the last remaining holy royal family who will soon help us with many things…
'They are going to be very crucial to the new things we thought about yesterday, and even their individual roles will matter a lot.'
Especially the Lord and Lady of Marciel.'
Having those two was the same as having strong enough forces that were on par with a 'team' of our Fool's gambit.
There is no way anything that any nation of this world could just take for granted…
