Chapter Three

The next day, Raid woke up at his usual time. A sidelong glance revealed that the clock hands pointed to six in the morning. However, there was something quite unusual about his awakening this time, making his lips twist into a scowl.

“Why’s my body so heav—”

“Hnnn...”

Only when he tried to get up did he notice what was wrong: Eluria was beside him, groaning quietly. His mind blanked, reeling as he recalled yesterday’s events—he had completely forgotten.

Evidently, the pillow Eluria was hugging last night hadn’t suited her tastes and was now miserably banished to the edge of the bed. The girl had apparently deemed Raid’s arm a fit replacement, as she was currently clinging onto it instead. All her tossing and turning had ruffled her prim dress, exposing her pale legs beneath the upturned hem.

When Raid tried to pull his arm back, she held him tighter and wriggled in place.

“Hm... Nnn...”

After finding a satisfactory position, Eluria settled back into slumber with a blissful and contented look on her face. She was the very epitome of defenseless in this moment, clearly at peace even within her dreams.

But Raid couldn’t just leave her be. It wasn’t as if he was completely unmoved by seeing her so defenseless, but given that they were an engaged couple at present, there was a certain line that mustn’t be crossed.

“Thank goodness I’m a geezer on the inside,” he mumbled to himself before shaking Eluria’s shoulders. “Hey, get up. It’s morning.”

“Hnnn...?” The jostling sensation and his voice drew her eyes open by a smidge—that is, until she slowly closed them again.

“I volunteer as your alarm clock, and this is what I get? Come on, wake up.” Raid tried to pry his arm free again.

“Nuuu...” However, Eluria refused to release him and even began nuzzling her face against his arm. She certainly wasn’t lying when she said she was bad with mornings.

“Go take a bath. That should wake you up.”

“Baaath...?” The word itself was somewhat effective already; Eluria’s eyes, although still glazed over and muddled with sleep, finally opened halfway.

“You have enough time for one, but you don’t have to.”

“Bath... I want...”

“Then go. I’ll get dressed and make us some break—”

“Join...”

Raid froze. “What?”

“Join...me...” she mumbled, latching back onto his arm.

She certainly seemed far too out of it to go to the bathroom on her own. Raid sighed in resignation and got on his feet. “Fine, I’ll join you. Don’t trip over yourself, okay?”

Eluria responded with an unintelligible grumble that Raid assumed to be a mangled “okay,” as she grabbed onto his shirt and obediently waddled behind him. He fetched her Institute-issued uniform along the way and even retrieved her underwear from her bag while doing his best not to look. Then, he headed to the bathroom and used the magic heater to warm up the water for her.

Raid had no issue using any of their magic devices, as they were all powered via mana circuits connected to the mana storage tank installed in their room. It had been
