Five days had passed since Neal had returned to the Liston Estate.

“Are you not able to join us at the table yet?”

Neal, kind brother that he was, would frequently pop into my room, trying to give me a distraction—what with all my free time. He was always very attentive to me. He would even tell me all about the academy.

Aside from that, though... I think my brother may have been bored, as well.

Neal Liston.

Though he was only six years old, he was set up to be the successor of the class-four Liston family.

He had inherited the blond hair of his father, and the good looks of his mother. He was beautiful for such a young child. That beauty wasn’t limited to his surface appearance either. Within those blue eyes of his was a deep wisdom and understanding. I had no doubt this boy was going to make many girls cry in the future. If he wasn’t already, that is.

What a terrifying child.

I imagined that when Nia was struck with illness, their parents’ attention often turned to her over Neal. The fact he hadn’t let jealousy take over him despite his young age said a lot for how good of a brother he was.

“Yes, I think it’ll still be a bit difficult.”

A lot of my meals were still made up of easily digestible half-solids.

Honestly, I was sure I could munch through all kinds of tougher solids soon, but my body could take in a larger quantity of the soft foods, so I had determined that until I had more stamina, this was better for me.

To be honest, this body was still lacking a lot.

I would be able to do something about the illness, but the deterioration of my body couldn’t be fixed without me eating. This was the body of a child who was still growing, after all.

My brother wanted the whole family to be able to sit around the table and eat together, but that wish likely wouldn’t come true until near the end of his summer vacation at the earliest. So in about two or three weeks.

“But is it not boring having to spend the whole day sleeping?”

“It’s something I have to do.”

Since my brother had started coming to visit more and more, I was only able to do any meditation at night instead of my around-the-clock routine. If you had to ask if I found this lifestyle boring, I would say yes. Back when I first became Nia, I had been thinking far more about not dying than anything else. I didn’t have the luxury to be thinking about if I was bored or not. Now that I was recovering smoothly, I had much more time to just think about things.

Starting to see my parents off and going for walks was also the result of me having that freedom now.

“Shouldn’t it be all right now?” Neal asked, not to me, but to Lynokis standing at attention nearby.

“I’m afraid that is not a judgment I can make myself. You would need permission from the master and mistress.
