Chapter IV: Unrequited Love is Something That Can Even Physically Hurt

Chastille and the other Angelic Knights had retreated.

The three who were with her were knocked out, so Zagan mended his barrier and threw them out on his own. He figured Chastille would likely somehow manage the rest on her own.

“I’ve gotten someone unrelated involved in this. Sorry.” Right until the end, the girl kept repeating phrases like that.

After returning to the castle, Nephy began treating Zagan’s wound. She seemed used to it, which surprised Zagan. After a bit, he began to question the girl who was skillfully tending to his wounds.

“Nephy, I thought you couldn’t use sorcery?” With a twitch, Nephy’s body shook.

“That wasn’t... sorcery.”

“Then what was it?”

“You see...” Nephy’s expression soured. Her face itself didn’t change all that much, but the tip of her pointy ears feebly drooped down.

Upon noticing that, Zagan shrugged his shoulders.

“Well, whatever. The kind of power you possess isn’t important to me.” Of course, he didn’t know whether it was sorcery or anything else, but if she possessed some sort of power, why didn’t she resist when she was captured? Why didn’t she break her collar? Why didn’t she think of just running away from Zagan? There was a mountain of questions that bothered him.

However, nothing that had happened changed his opinion of her... was what he wanted to convey to her, but...

Crap! When I put it like that, doesn’t it sound like I don’t give a damn about her!?

It was clear that the way he worded his thoughts had betrayed his feelings. Seeing Nephy droop her shoulders more visibly, Zagan went on to correct himself.

“You are Nephy, and nothing can change that. No matter what power you possess, you’re still the same.”

I said it properly! He felt like it was still somewhat difficult to understand, but nevertheless, Nephy stared back at him in wonder and surprise.

“...Thank you... very much.” Her drooping ears quivered with a twitch.

For whatever reason, it seemed that she was a little more at ease... Though it was still questionable whether Zagan’s intentions were made clear or not.

While they were talking of such things, she finished wrapping the bandages. Zagan still felt pain, but he could still move his hands around at the very least. Thanks to that, he knew he likely wouldn’t have any issues following his daily routine. To a certain extent, he could even endure combat.

If it wasn’t for the power of the Sacred Sword, he would have healed such minor wound immediately, but Nephy’s first aid treatment was perfect.

“Mm... Not bad. Well done.” “...No, it was... my fault... after all.” This time around, he thought she would obediently thank him, but Nephy hung her head in shame.

Zagan truly wished someone had taught him words of comfort that he could use in such a situation. He was even seriously considering pulling out Barbatos’ tongue and transplanting it to himself.

After worrying to the point where it felt like his brain would boil, Zagan finally managed to squeeze out some words.
