Chapter 46 – Crisis 2

“We can’t afford to have any more victims while we’re here. If they’re insane, we can’t assume they won’t act during the day.”

“Are we moving now?”

“I think that’s best.”

Cesia nodded in agreement.

It seemed they had decided to act immediately, and everyone headed towards the entrance without hesitation.

Surely, they couldn’t just stand still any longer.

“Cecia, stay for a moment.”

Everyone’s heads turned back with a jerk. Rin, Ilf, and Misha looked like they couldn’t help but wonder what was going to happen.

“M-me?”

The person who was called, Cecia, looked 80% surprised and 20% embarrassed.

It’s not like she had done anything wrong, so why was she embarrassed?

“Everyone go ahead. Cecia will join you guys soon.”

“No, tell me what you’re going to do.”

“No, what is it that you plan on doing?”

“No, tell Misha what Rito is going to do.”

They were perfectly synchronized until the very end. They really get along well.

“I’m just going to check on Cecia’s hand. Have a safe trip.”

The three of them disappeared into the hallway with expressions like “I see.” A few seconds later, I heard the sound of the door to the room opening and closing.

“I-I’m fine.”

“Just listen to me, take it off.”

“Ta-ta-take it off!?”

“I’m talking about your gauntlet!!”

She probably imagined I was talking about her clothes. Even though I said I wanted to check on her hand, Cecia being Cecia, she easily misinterpreted things.

Cecia is the type to seriously misunderstand even the slightest room for misunderstanding.

“Show me your hands.”

I kept pressing on. Cecia seemed to give in and unclasped the gauntlet on her right hand with a clicking sound.

I took her hand and took off her gauntlet.

I knew it, her hand had turned a bit red.

Even though the gauntlet had eased the impact, she had hit the table quite hard.  It might get worse if left as is.

“Come on, let’s go cool it down.”

“M-my hand! D-do you really have to——squeeze!!“

While holding the gauntlet, I took Cecia’s hand and led her to the bathroom to cool her hand with water.

“Since it’s water, ideally, you should cool it for twenty or thirty minutes, but I know you can’t wait, so just five minutes is fine. After that, you need to be more careful with your hand.”

“I-I understand.”

After a brief silence, Cecia doesn’t seem to have any intention of resisting anymore. There doesn’t seem to be any problem if I let go of her hand, but I feel like it’s too late.

“Rito seems to know a lot.”

“Huh?”

My reply to the sudden compliment was just a question.

“Well…all I know is that I should cool it down. I don’t know if I should use water or how long I should let it cool.”

“Haha, well, Cecia, you don’t get bruises and injuries often, right? That’s probably why.”

“Even Rito hasn’t been injured lately.”
