chapter 33

–the ringing of bells.

When I opened my eyelids, I saw the light shining through the windowless window frame.

It is around noon that light enters this room. In this world, it is the “King’s Light Hour”.

I was asleep.

I feel like I had a bad dream.

Last night, I went with Ouka to take down the slimes. We had some trouble, but we accomplished our goal.

I ended up collecting all of the slime stones that Ouka defeated and put them away in the item box.

I carried Ouka, who had fallen asleep from crying, out of the forest on my back and walked back to the inn through a deserted road.

Maybe I was tired too; I don’t remember what happened after I opened the door to my room.

Maybe I fell into bed with Ouka on my back.

I fell asleep until noon, but there is no such thing as late for adventurers.

Adventurer’s earning is loose on time. Although the guild closes at a certain time, once you accept quests, you just have to finish them within the specified deadline.

I’m going to sleep in.

“Wake up!”

“Huh?”

A loud voice rang in my ears.

I hurriedly forced myself up and saw a girl about fourteen or fifteen year’s old standing in front of me.

She was wearing a beige long-sleeved turtleneck and a dark green pleated skirt that was longer than her knees.

She shook her long hair, which was as green as the leaves of a tree, and her eyes, which were the same colour as her hair, stared intensely at me.

“What is it, Theon?”

“What’s the matter with you?”

She hits the floor with her heels and then pointed next to me.

There was Ouka, sleeping naked.

She is using the uniform she should have been wearing as a pillow and drooling over it.

She looks so happy in her sleep. Is it because she is having a pleasant dream?

“I’m tired, let me sleep…”

“Wake up!”

Without hearing my words, Theon dragged Ouka off the bed.

Startled by the impact, Ouka said, “Heh!” She made a strange sound and looked around to see what was going on.

Then, Theon and Ouka’s gazes met.

“You’re a slave, aren’t you?”

“Hiya”

“What were you thinking, sneaking into your master’s bed as a slave!”

Bang

Theon taps the floor again.

Ouka freaks out at the action and shakes her shoulders.

“Wait, Theon, calm down.”

“You are too!!”

Her anger is directed at me.

“She’s not a s*x sl*ve!”

“Are you a five year old with no sense of humour? Are you stupid? You’re a fool, aren’t you? You stupid boy!”

She hits the floor again.

What is this?

I’m not up to speed with the situation.
