(EP-124.1) Hunting #4
124 – Monster Hunt #4
Aira’s door swung open.
As I entered, I saw her lying soundly between the soft sheets of her bed.
It was getting late in the morning, yet she was still sleeping.
I didn’t want to risk changing her mood, so I sat on the nearby sofa and waited for Aira to wake up.
An hour passed, then two hours...
There was no sign of her stirring awake, no matter how long I waited.
She was like an animal hibernating for the winter.
With no other choice, I turned my attention to my surroundings. It wouldn’t hurt to explore Aira’s room since I was already at this point.
As for my conclusion, Aira’s room was quite girly.
Fluffy dolls were strewn all over the place, and candies wrapped in shiny wrapping paper filled the clear and transparent glass bottles.
Seeing the beautiful teacup and teapot, I thought of brewing myself some tea and turned on the magic burner.
Blopblopblop-.
Just as the fragrant white tea was steeped to perfection...-. ƒreewebɳovel.com
“It smells good.”
Emerging from the blanket, Aira stretched her arms out with a yawn. I promptly poured her a freshly brewed tea in a pretty teacup on a coaster.
“It’s hot, my lady.”
After receiving it, Aira made a light blow before drinking the hot tea in one go.
“It’s good. You brewed it well. Thank you.”
Perhaps there was some magical effect in her breath as she blew on it, like a spell that regulated the temperature.
“So what brings you here in my room, Theo?”
Aira was finally ready to talk to me.
I took the empty cup from her hand and placed it aside, then cautiously began to state my piece.
“I have a request to ask of Queen Aira.”
“A request?”
Aira raised her black, neat eyebrows as if she had heard an unbelievable story.
“Theo, it’s been a long time since you made a request to me. Is it something that you cannot handle on your own?”
Seuk-.

As Aira reached her hand out, a bluebird that flew from somewhere perched on her slender finger, chirping. And after letting the bird go, she said.
“The weather is nice.”
“But it might rain in the late afternoon when it is windy and cloudy.”
“Is that a fairy’s intuition?”
“A fairy’s intuition?”
“It is said that Nymphs and Elves are sensitive to the weather, especially the Nymphs. I’ve read it in a book recently.”
‘A book.’
Come to think of it, there were several thick books on Aira’s desk. It seemed that Aira had been reading many books in her spare time at the dormitory.
Suddenly, I felt like I had neglected Aira too much. It had been over a month since we enrolled, but I didn’t know what Aira was doing all by herself.
“Then let’s walk a little outside first. Accompany me, Theo.”
“As you wish.”
