Chapter 41

I take a painkiller immediately after getting on the carriage. This will surely lessen the pain.
Let’s sleep afterwards.

Zukizzuki……

As expected, it doesn’t seem like a normal headache……

The pain comes regularly. The way it hurts is somewhat familiar……

Un…… it feels like a slight fever is coming……

Slowly, my consciousness is getting cloudy…………

Is this dehydration, I wonder……

Headache, nausea, slight fever…… unclear consciousness……

Probably……

Multiple problems and injuries in recent days, insomnia and loss of appetite ……
All kinds of things……

It’s already ten days since I left home.

I made a fuss about the moving preparations, I certainly did. I ate meal hurriedly…… excited about the new life. I went to department stores and home centers…… but, as expected, I was also uneasy about my new life……

My body seemed to be getting well after that, but……
Am I exhausted mentally, after all?

After coming over here, I probably had only three proper meals in the inn…… I’m sweating considerably, but because my body can be made clean to a certain extent with Clean, I forgot about the intake of water, didn’t I? I failed to drink water due to the decrease of meals, I got injured, bled, and lost water, got a fever and lost water because of the sweating, lost the opportunity to drink by staying in bed……

Yes. It’s my mistake, isn’t it? I noticed the dehydration too late. For the time being, I should drink water and the simple oral hydration solution frequently…… also, make sure not to get fever……

Let’s lie down in the carriage.
Good night.

And then, as expected…… I have made a mistake once again. I wonder how much worries I’m making for people around without saying anything……
I forgot about it……

☆☆☆ Ivar’s behavior ☆☆☆

Koyu-sama went to sleep as soon as she entered the carriage. Sometimes, she would wake up to drink and go back to sleep. I heard from Elm that we are making haste to the Konna village.
I wonder what happened? This situation is surely related to Koyu-sama.
Sapin and Shien who are good at handling the horses are riding them, Elm is driving the carriage.
Ivar who would usually sit in the second driver seat has solidified inside the carriage. He hardly moves away from Koyu-sama’s side.
He supports Koyu-sama’s body when she wakes up to drink then he sits still. By Koyu-sama’s pillow.
Occasionally, he would wipe Koyu-sama’s forehead with a wet cloth……

Eh…… right now, what is going on……

What is Ivar doing……

Concealment? He’s blocking the presence?
What is he doing? Even if you do that, it won’t on the ill Koyu-sama, you know?

Nee, what are you doing?

Even though I’m near, even though I see them……
I can’t grasp the presence……
What to do, it’s not like I can stop the carriage.

「Ivar! What are you doing!」

Ivar cuts his wrist…… what…… he draws his own blood and magical power…… converting magical power to what power? I know? That’s…… blood affinity? What reckless thing are you doing……

「Ivar! Stop it!」

You can’t, if you do something like that……

「Ko, Koyu-sama, Koyu-sama wake up! Stop Ivar!」

Please…… stop…… Ivar……

Voice, I feel like I heard a voice……
