Hitomishiri Onna ga Isekai de Seitenka shita Kekka Chapter 15

Warm Days

My day begins with first waking up the owner of the house, who has kindly allowed me to live here in his home.

While thinking that it was such a waste that such long, beautiful black hair was just scattered randomly about the bed like that, I tried gently nudging awake the person under the covers.

[Oi, Wake up Foruna.]

[…]

[Oi.]

[…]

My landlord, Foruna, has trouble waking up in the morning. Even when I was taken in six years ago, I didn’t have to try very hard in order to be the first one to wake up. There’s no helping it. Although I’m unwilling, for that person who sleeps too much, I have no choice.

I got on top of Foruna, who was still curled under the covers sleeping, and wrapped my arms around his body tightly with all of my strength. Next, summoning the height of my power, I squeeze using the grip I have around him, strangling him with the intent to kill. Then, indeed, it seemed to have become slightly painful for Foruna as he finally decided to poke his head out from under the covers.

[Good morning, Al. You look energetic today too.]

[…Get up.]

[Ok, got it.]

He still seemed sleepy as his blue eyes, soft and listless, laid wearily on my head as he slowly sat up in his bed. At the same time, Foruna’s beautiful long black hair smoothly fell back into its original place. Before I started working for Foruna, his hair was always long, reaching down to his waist. At first I thought his hair was very bothersome when I was first given the job. Since then, I have always made sure every day that his hair is tied up without fail.

Since meeting Foruna, I have changed. When I was still living with my family, I never felt that I was male until now. After living independently on my own and working under Foruna, I realized that it’s useless to keep on comparing this life to my previous life forever.

[What’s for breakfast?]

[Fruit sandwiches.]

[Uwa, can’t wait.]

…Still, even though it seems like I’m not shy at all around Foruna, this is because I had fixed my way of speaking. Also, towards those I don’t know very well, I don’t speak at all…

Different from me, Foruna is able to have a friendly conversation with anyone, from the old man next door to the most recently born baby (This was one-sided for Foruna). Furthermore, he has beautiful double-eyelids and a high nose. From his smiling lips, soft laughter, as well as a sweet, fluffy-sounding voice that comes out… Yes, Foruna is very kakkoi. Although he looked to be around 25, there were times I could feel the years in his eyes, so there was this one time I asked about his age. I will never forget the shock I had at that time. There is absolutely no one who would believe he is telling the truth about his age.

I do not know exactly what kind of work Foruna does, but I do know that he is an amazing mage. And I know this because, when we first met, Foruna easily saw through the Excessive Magic Disorder and sealed it. Still, my magic power will continue to rise unless it is occasionally let out, but even if an accident should occur, the damage won’t reach far as Foruna’s barrier is strong enough to endure it. Then, each time after the magic is let out, my mind becomes dazed and I receive a pat on the head. Even though it’s a little bit embarrassing, I will feel very warm and happy as I fall asleep. That’s why I like Foruna a lot. Foruna is always gentle, always smiling and it’s impressive that he knows how to use magic too.

[Al, my hair got longer again. What should I do? Cut it?]

Even though it’s being cut regularly, it grows back quite fast. It was slightly below the shoulders.

[…I want to be together with Foruna.]

[Together with me?]

[Forever.]

My face begins to heat up immediately after saying such a childish thing… How embarrassing. Foruna started laughing at me when he saw how red I looked.

[That sounds nice. Let’s do that. When Al gets bigger and more adult-like, maybe.]

At Foruna’s unexpected words and feelings I was overjoyed. As expected, I really like Foruna a lot.
