Chapter 77.1. I’m Just Taking A Nap
-Miu’s POV-
The sun’s rays shining through the window were fading, and slowly evening darkness was beginning to envelop the room. As the sun’s light faded and the room grew dim, the room’s electric lights were turned on.
The room with its twinkling lights was the same elegantly decorated room I had seen one day. The room was like the private room used by politicians to lock themselves in when under the influence of a temporary illness.
The room was furnished with an expensive sofa, a table, and a reception set. The furnishings are also expensive at first glance, but the atmosphere is relaxed and not overbearingly rich.
A king-size bed is placed next to it, and the futon looks soft and fluffy. The room is luxurious, but one thing is out of the ordinary. There were an IV drip, a blood pressure cuff, and a female nurse quietly standing by, informing me that this room was the sick room.
Moreover, the room was familiar to Miu. It was the same room used four years ago when Miu saved Yamiyo.
It was the same as before, down to the bed where Miu was lying. A young girl with gray hair similar to silver was sleeping comfortably.
She was sleeping with a soft, soft sound of her breathing.
“Unya. Hornbear Cow was a rabbit…”
Muttering in her sleep and turning over in her sleep is Miu, a little girl who aims to be the strongest. After turning over a few times, she finally woke up and slowly opened her eyes, huffing and puffing.
“I slept well~. Where am I?”
She looked around, tilted her head, and opened her mouth again. She rubbed her eyes and wondered sleepily.
I didn’t feel tired during the battle, but when I snuck into the trunk and meditated, all my exhaustion came rushing out, and I took a nap. If I got kidnapped seriously, I might not have even noticed. That’s how intense the load of the battle with king mantis must have been on my body.
My body has game specifications, but when the fight is over. I get tired. It becomes novel specifications. It would mean that it is an ordinary event to collapse from exhaustion. Or it could be that I returned to my normal body. I wonder which it is.
The soft touch of the white sheets feels good, and I rustle them. Miu, who has returned to the innocent girl she was at her age, looks around once more. The large room looks familiar. This is the hospital where I get admitted before. This must be a hospital room.
A nurse is sitting by the wall, playing with something on her computer, but when she noticed I’ve woken up. She lifts her slender glasses with a snap. She looks stern like she’s the head of the department.
“You’re awake, sweetheart.”
“Frigg-oneesan? Did you have transformation skills?”
She tilts her head, leans her body back, and collapses into a heap. Hey, I’m sleepy. I can still sleep a lot. I’m pretty tired, I guess. I knew king mantis’ fight was pretty much too much for me.
As I roll over, the headmistress smiles thinly.
“This world is a world of magic. That’s why the guards also rely too much on magic-sensing magical tools. They assume that if people are going to infiltrate, they’ll use [Illusion Magic] or [Disguise] themselves. Humans could disguise themselves much more easily.”
A wig, contacts, and a little makeup, Frigg tells me with a wink. She’s a stern-looking woman who looks nothing like Frigg-oneesan.
“Are you a spy, Frigg-oneesan? Or a thief?”
“I’m a goddess. Frigg, the goddess of love and precious metals.”
“I thought you were the goddess of love and fertility?”
“Fertility and precious metals mean the same thing. You should look up the classics sometime.”
“Don’t lie to a little girl as if you were breathing.”
I look at Frigg, who lies flatly with her quizzical eyes, and she smiles, and Frigg shrugs, leans against the wall and crosses her arms. She’s such a cool and determined older sister.
“So, would you like to hear what happened during your nap?”
“Not that much time has passed?”
“Four hours, maybe.”
I patted my chest, relieved she wasn’t talking about three days. I don’t want to worry my parents. Hmmm? But why is no one here?
“Where’s Papa and Mama?”
Miu was worried and thought they were nearby, but this was strange. Don’t tell me they got hurt or something. I feel impatient.
“If they’re hurt, we have to heal them! A condition? I have to increase the priest’s proficiency immediately!”
Maybe I need to get magic that can heal any wound and cure any condition abnormality. Let’s go somewhere, let’s dive into a dungeon. Let’s do that.
Frigg laughs with a dazed look as the gray-haired beautiful girl slams the sheets and says she can sortie any time.
“Don’t worry. Your father is in the custody of an old lady named Duke Ryusui, who wants to talk to you about something. Your mother has been dizzy from anemia, so she’s seeing a doctor.”
“Let’s head for the dungeon! The compound job soon, wabu.”
“Calm down.”
As I was about to jump out of bed, Frigg approached me and slapped me.
“Mooo. You don’t think twice when it comes to your family. It’s okay, you just made me worry ……, but that was more like ……….”
“I made you worry? How could I when you’re such a good girl!”
You didn’t do anything to worry me. I’m a good, well-behaved, good girl, Mii-chan. You could have fooled me about King Mantis, couldn’t you?
With a snort of excitement, the beautiful young girl slapped the sheets hard with her hands. That’s funny.
“You don’t seem to realize it, but you’re in a setting where you were almost kidnapped. Isn’t it natural for your parents to be worried?”
“Gagaan! It was a blind spot! That’s right, that’s exactly what it is…”
I was only thinking about fooling the stampede and not thinking about that one at all. It was so careless. Mii-chan regrets it. You’re going to fall and fall asleep.
“We haven’t even talked yet, have we? Do you want to hear it, or are you not going to?”
“I’m sorry, Frigg-oneesan. So, what happened since then?”
I turn to Frigg-oneesan, who nods lightly and tells me what has happened so far.
“You were kidnapped, but not carried away. I fought with the monster users who had infiltrated the temple and were trying to carry the treasure, and they were found dead. You were protected while you were sleeping in the trunk of a car.”
“I’m sorry to hear that.”
They split in front of the treasure. Well, it’s a template. Good thing Mii-chan is protected.
“There was almost no treasure, including the one in the hidden room. There was a Senryobako (a box of one thousand ryo) filled with large and small oval pieces of gold, but it was small compared to the size of the room. They’re screaming that Loki stole it.”
