(EP-192.1) A Short Break #1
192 – A Short Break #1
The day after the trial.
I lay in bed with aches and pains all over my body.
So much so that I couldn’t even lift a finger, forcing me to rest for the entire day.
It was a warm afternoon with the summer sun streaming in through the window.
━Memmem-.
━Chichipp.
It was a good day. Listening to the cacophony of cicadas and various birds singing in a chorus, it’s a shame that I’m stuck in a room.
Still, I gained a lot from the duel.

You are the only survivor of a fallen family.
You must revive the family while avoiding those who want to destroy it.
Fortunately, you are motivated to rebuild your family.
Because Little Demon King went up a level.
It seems the notion that extreme situations like life-and-death struggles and duels would enhance one’s magic skills was not a lie.
Though my body was weary, the magic power in me remained remarkably stable.
Great.
But then my thighs throbbed.
“Eugh.”
“It’s just a little muscle soreness. Hey, stop whining.”
Elga jabbed my side.
Anyone who has experienced muscle soreness in their side knows that being poked in that spot with a finger was like getting stabbed.
“Hieek...!”
It hurt so much.
“It’s because you’re not training enough. You overused your untrained muscles in the fight, this is the result, am I wrong?”
Yeah, Elga was right.
However, this soft Half-Fairy’s body was inherently unsuitable for combat and fights.
By way of comparison, it was like driving a small compact car in an unlimited autobahn. Getting hurt is to be expected.
“.......”
Seuk.
When I glanced at Elga, who was pressing on my thigh, she said.
“Why are you looking at me like that? If you have something to say, say it.”
If I were to say what I really wanted to say here, she’ll just squeeze my thigh, and I don’t want such pain.
So, I decided to keep my mouth shut. Elga also didn’t question me further and just continued to press. freewebnoveℓ.com
“Geueek-.”
It hurt but I refrained from complaining. I won’t whine at someone who’s massaging my sore muscles.
“Fortunately, you didn’t get seriously hurt. Do you understand? When you got slashed across the abdomen through the Mana Shield, I thought you were going to die. ”
