Chapter 293
’Mister~ I was just thinking about you~~’
It was natural for us to do what we did. Waving like a child would. Amused at the nice timing of a parent.
"Good morning, dear. You skipped breakfast today but I won’t let you skip lunch~ I am here to retrieve my child~"

He walked the bridge alongside us who went back into the tower, and apparently, he decided to wait at the unique door. Because when I entered the library he wasn’t there to meet us.
I glanced at Paige, giving an order with my eyes she understood immediately. And as she went to get the book we were taking back with us, I turned to Theodore to write a few words for him.
[ I thank you greatly, Scholar Theodore. This has been a wonderful experience. Hopefully, on my next visit to the library, we could read outside. Your guide through this vast tower was enjoyable. ]
"Ah.. Ah, ye–yes, my Lady..." — Watching him lower his head clearly shy, I stared for a moment at him. Pondering if I should actually point out what’s been bothering me for a while.
And given how I was feeling truthful to how I felt at this time... I quickly decided to ask. For I truly wonder what happened but furthermore...
[ Also. The bandage on your neck, I hope it is nothing I should be concerned about...]
"!..... It... P-please, do not... i-it happened because of my... Incompetence..."
