Chapter 138 I'M Feeling Uneasy
At Priscilla's house, I had a practice battle with my junior, Lauren-kun.
After healing with Elixir...
"Well then, let's go home, Leaf-kun."
""Eh~!""
I feel bad for Mercury-san, but I want to have a bit more practice battles with Lauren-kun!
However, when we sighed in exasperation, Mercury-san said,
"I'm leaving. Come on."
"Why?"
"This house will be destroyed, you know!"
"If wI can fix it with Elixir, then it's fine, right?"
"Just because you can fix it doesn't mean you can break it...!!!"
Well, that might be true.
But still...
"If you want to rampage, do it outside. Tomorrow, you'll receive requests as adventurers."
"Okay. See you later, Lauren-kun."
"Got it!" Lauren-kun energetically nodded.
He's a lively junior, and I'm happy to have him around.
"Priscilla-sama, please take care of the rest."
"Y-Yes, understood."
Mercury-san whispered to Lauren-kun's ear.
"...Well then, Hero-sama. Please make sure to keep your true identity hidden."
"Hmm! Understood!"
The two of them were talking secretly.
Hmm, it's getting a bit heated.
I hope I can become close enough with Lauren-kun to have secret conversations too!
"Goodbye, both of you."
"See you later!"
Saying that, Mercury-san and I left the Graham residence and headed towards the Comet Workshop.
Even though it's within the same capital city grounds, it's quite a distance from here.
"I'm totally exhausted..."
"Want to drink some Elixir?"
"Thanks, but I'm fine. This medicine won't do much for me."
Is it something related to mental fatigue?
"Then, how about some headache medicine (Elixir)?"
"I don't need it, it's the same thing... *sigh*"
Mercury-san was holding her head.
Headache medicine (Elixir) should make it better if she take it....
But why is she not taking it?
Maybe she's tired of the taste?
That's it, maybe she's tired of drinking it.
I open the lid and sprinkle the headache medicine (Elixir) over Mercury-san's head.
"Hmm? Leaf-kun, what are you doing?"
"You seemed tired! Are you feeling better?"
"I feel better now...! Thanks a lot!"
"Oh, that's good!"
Uggh... Mercury-san stammers.
"...It's true that you lose if you fall in love. Sigh."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
"It's nothing. But Leaf-kun, it's not good to pour liquid on a woman's head without permission."
"Is that so? In the countryside, we used to forcefully pour it on people who weren't feeling well."
"Yeah, don't mix up the common sense of the countryside with the common sense of the city, I've told you that a million times, RIGHTTTTTTT!"
I see.
"Sigh... I'm worried. With two more bombs, can I really handle this?"
"You bought bombs?"
With a glance, Mercury-san looks at me, sighing heavily.
When I silently offer her a headache medicine (Elixir), Mercury-san takes it without a word and drinks it all up.
