“I hope it comes true.”
“Yes. Me too.”
It wasn’t hard to guess what she’d wished for.
It was probably for world peace or to reunite with her friends from
the village.
The whole scene was very romantic. I leaned back and watched the
stars.
Eventually we left the bath and started walking back to the room.
“Peeping? L’Arc, how old do you think you are? You might get
away with that back home, but you need to follow the rules here!”
L’Arc and the other guys were all getting a lecture in the hallway.
Therese was lecturing L’Arc, while Bitch and her retinue were
yelling at the other heroes.
They deserved it. How funny that I got to see their punishment.
It wasn’t worth worrying about them. They were going to enjoy life
however they wanted.
They would just accept the lecture as a compromise on their part.
I’d read about things like this in manga, so I knew how it worked.
Still . . . I wasn’t like them.
“Oh! Kiddo was in a private bath with the girls. Not fair!”
“L’Arc, pay attention!”
He was pointing at me, but Therese wouldn’t take the bait and let
him change the subject. She sent on berating him.
So they went on pretending like they caught me in the act, but we
ignored them and went straight back to our room.
I was sure there would be plenty of hardship down the road. L’Arc
was an idiot, but he was fun. Next time, maybe, I’d join in on their fun
—if only a little.
Of course, I’d make sure I had Raphtalia’s permission first to make
sure I didn’t end up getting yelled at in the hallway.
