“Just hold hands and sleep.”

 

There was a hundred percent chance that the horse was orthodox.

 

As I tried to get up, Dorothy fell from me.

 

I stood up and looked at Dorothy. I was about to say no, but I was speechless when her face was properly in my field of vision.

 

The look of barely holding back the rough breathing. His face was flushed red.

 

“What’s wrong, Isaac?”

 

I put the back of my hand on Dorothy’s forehead. The other hand placed it on my forehead.

 

Body temperature is high. I already knew it was high, but it was higher than I thought. Was it still this far?

 

My heart ached and I sighed heavily.

 

“Sigh… .”

 

I went to the tree, picked up some clothes, and put on my clothes.

 

“Are you sure you won’t get caught?”

 

Dorothy was surprised for a moment, as if I hadn’t thought I’d give her permission at once, then laughed bashfully.

 

“of course. Secretly violating school rules is my specialty, right?”

 

It didn’t seem like a perfect point to talk about.

 

… …

 

“Do you have a bathrobe?”

 

“yes I have it.”

 

“Nihihi, sister, I’ll wash up and come out!”

 

Upper-middle class dormitory, Elma Hall.

 

I got to my room and washed myself. In the meantime, Dorothy decided to sneak in through the window I had left open.

 

It’s been quite a while since I haven’t been to the hideout, so if I go, I’ll have to clean it first. So he came to the dormitory.

 

As soon as I left the bathroom, Dorothy, who entered my room without realizing it, went to wash up in peace. Of course, I thought he would come wash up in his room.

 

‘First… .’

 

While Dorothy was washing, she decided to prepare things.

 

A bottle of aroma was placed on top of the cabinet next to the bed. When I opened the lid, a nice fragrance bloomed.

 

It was an alchemy tool that I used to get a little sleep every night.

 

After putting on some clothes, I took a rip off. He poured cold water into it and wetted a towel.

 

preparation is over.

 

I stood by the bed, leaning against the wall, waiting for Dorothy.

 

“It’s nice… !”

 

After taking a shower, Dorothy hummed and left the bathroom. I was relieved to see her wearing only a shower gown.

 

She might not have noticed, but she could tell that Dorothy had done a basic make-up in the bathroom.

 

Dorothy wiped her wet hair with a towel, met my eyes, and smiled slyly.

 

“Why are you looking at me so possessed? Is your sister that sexy?”

 

Dorothy teased, deliberately exposing one slender shoulder.

 

Immediately I went up to Dorothy and shoved her on the back.

 

“uh? Oh, Isaac?”

 

Suddenly, Dorothy’s voice was perplexed.

 

Dorothy, who could not resist my power if she did not use magic, was pushed aside.

 

“Go to bed.”

 

“Bur, already? Noona, my heart isn’t ready yet… !”

 

What are you talking about?

 

I put Dorothy to bed.

 

I looked down at Dorothy from above. face flushed red. Dorothy’s eyes, staring into mine, were trembling as if an earthquake had struck.

 

Dorothy, who had been talking a lot, shut her mouth, swallowed dry saliva, and surrendered herself to the silence.

 

“… … .”

 

Dorothy’s quivering eyes turned to the side. Despite showing a nervous expression, she gradually relaxed her body. It seemed that the mind was ready now.

 

The shower gown was undone, revealing her breastbone. As she wrapped up her bathrobe, Dorothy was taken aback.

 

I got out of bed and put the blanket over Dorothy’s body.

 

“yes?”

 

Dorothy looked bewildered.

 

He took a towel from the gourd he had prepared, wrung it out, folded it up, and placed it on Dorothy’s forehead.

 

It was only then that Dorothy opened her ax eye and glared at me, perhaps realizing my intentions.

 

done

 

I checked Dorothy’s temperature with a thermometer.

 

‘It’s a high fever, too.’

 

It was better than when the starlight magic ran rampant, but it was still painful. The headache must have been quite severe.

 

“Senior Dorothy, why didn’t you tell me? The heat is still like this. I wish I could have sent Elara to let me know.”

 

“… … .”

 

“senior?”

 

Dorothy sighed softly.

 

“It wasn’t the day… .”

 

Dorothy is also my colleague, so I have already made the same statement to Kaya.

 

Until I achieved my goal in 3rd grade, I was thinking of avoiding open dating or deep affection.

 

Even knowing that fact, he seduced me. It’s probably not because I’m lonely. I was going to lose my temper, but I was just sorry.

 

To lighten the mood, I brought up a trivial story.

 

“… You’re sick, but you ate two chickens.”

 

“It is delicious. And I thought that if I ate more than usual, my body would get better faster.”

 

After the day when Starlight’s mana ran out of control, Dorothy stayed ill in the dormitory for several days. Concerned that the starlight mana would run amok again, he left the barrier open.

 

He waited alone for his body to recover naturally, because the magic of starlight resisted and healing magic did not work in churches or hospitals.

 

The bachelor maid’s access must have been blocked.

 

Being alone when sick is very lonely. The fact that Dorothy had come so late, saying she wanted to talk to me, must have been due to the fact that she had been sick and lonely for the past few days.

 

‘If I do this, I’ll feel more sorry.’

 

I adjusted the light shade of the lamp. Only the soft light illuminated the interior of the dark room.

 

Then the towel on Dorothy’s forehead warmed up. After soaking the towel again and wringing it out, I let my cold air flow to cool it. Just like that, he put the towel back on Dorothy’s forehead.

 

“still… , I don’t feel quite bad.”

 

Dorothy stared at the ceiling. The tension was relieved and the mood became cozy, and the voice became comfortable.

 

Time passed.

 

I was sitting in a chair next to Dorothy and reading a book when she brought up a story.

 

“Isaac.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“There is something I wanted to tell you.”

 

He took his eyes off the book and looked at Dorothy.

 

“Does your sister have a different name?”

 

“Your name?”

 

Dorothy’s true name. I knew, but I pretended not to know.

 

“It’s ‘Dorothy Gale’. My Name.”

 

“game… ? Why is it Heart Nova now?”

 

“That’s an adventurer’s name I made when I was young. When I lost my family and my hometown, and was left alone because I was terminally ill… . I was able to make a living as an adventurer somehow. Thanks to the power Stella gave me. Fairies’ power honestly doesn’t require complicated calculations. so it was possible At that time, I worked under the name Heart Nova. Adventurer Heart Nova.”

 

Dorothy laughed softly.

 

“It’s a nickname I had when I was young, isn’t it a little weird? My maternal aunt, my maternal uncle, Toto, people from my hometown… , It was so hard just thinking about it. That’s why I thought it might be a little better if I threw away my name. I wonder if it will be okay if I gradually forget about it one by one.”

 

All that was left was the stigma of dying in a few years, and Dorothy had to endure the hard life alone.

 

Whenever she thought of her family and the people of her hometown, Dorothy must have felt like her heart was about to break.

 

“It got a little dull later on. I don’t hesitate to think about it because I think I’ll follow them soon anyway.”

 

Dorothy lived her life steadfastly until the vivid pain faded.

 

I walked the dark path of life alone without a light source. At the end of that short journey, the only thing that greeted Dorothy was a high cliff where she could follow those who left first.

 

It was a life that even the meaning of living was unknown, but Dorothy did not collapse.

 

Even though it was risky, he decided to enjoy the journey to the end.

 

And finally Dorothy reached the end of her life.

 

“Then I met you.”

 

I met Dorothy in front of the cliff.

 

It was because I liked and loved Dorothy’s journey.

 

“Do you know what I call that?”

 

“What do you call them?”

 

Dorothy still had a high fever.

 

Dorothy looked at me with a hot face and smiled beautifully.

 

“miracle.”

 

… …

 

Dorothy fell asleep.

 

I sat on a chair next to the bed and read a book on elemental rock magic, occasionally coldly dampening the towel on Dorothy’s forehead and putting it back.

 

It was late at night. I was trying to keep my usual routine, so at this time of day, I was suddenly drowsy. I couldn’t read the book and my head kept shaking.

 

‘Sleep.’

 

Since it was Elma House, the bed was spacious. I was about to fall asleep next to Dorothy.

 

at that time.

 

Knock knocking sound came from the window.

 

‘what?’

 

I was surprised… .

 

Outside the window, a mysterious Cheshire was floating in the air.

 

I got out of bed and opened the window. The monster grinned with a torn mouth.

 

[Nyon, Isaac, how are you?]

 

“Cheshire, did you come back very early?”

 

[Come on, I missed you! So I flew away.]

 

Stranger-Cheshire sat down on the window sill and found Dorothy.

 

[Dorothy? Why is that scary Anne here?]

 

“I have some circumstances. What about Alice?”

 

[Of course I came with you.]

 

The academy planned to publicize that Alice was being used by demons. It was to clear Alice’s stigma.

 

Thanks to Alice’s usual good deeds, she will be able to gain the support of many students.

 

However, on the surface, it was still in the case investigation stage. Until things worked out, Alice was to stay out of sight of the students.

 

“I’m sorry, but I haven’t solved Alice’s problem yet. I didn’t know you’d be back so soon.”

 

[It’s fine. Can I let Alice in instead? We have nowhere to go now.]

 

“uh?”

 

[Alice, it’s been said.]

 

You didn’t allow it.

 

However, it was not immediately possible to argue because the proper solution did not immediately come to mind.

 

Alice can’t afford to go back to her room, which has become a restricted area. Besides, the hideout was dirty, and it was impossible to leave Alice outside.

 

Alice Carroll came up with telekinesis. I hurriedly took her into the room.

 

“Hello, baby.”

 

“Alice… .”

 

Alice came closer to me with a smile on her face.

 

The memory of the kiss came to mind and a burning sensation came up, but he maintained a calm expression.

 

Stranger-Cheshire closed the window.

 

“You came quickly.”

 

“Because the baby told me to come soon. Even if you take care of yourself for a while… .”

 

Alice looked towards the bed and stopped talking.

 

“Are you Dorothy?”

 

Alice said lukewarmly.

 

“I was sick, so I brought you to my room.”

 

“I don’t know when I see it.”

 

Alice strode over to Dorothy, sat down on the bed, and ran her finger across Dorothy’s cheek.

 

“It looks like the fever hasn’t gone down yet.”

 

“yes. In addition, the magic of the starlight rebels, so healing magic doesn’t work.”

 

“It is unusual.”

 

I went to Alice’s side, changed the towel on Dorothy’s forehead, and sat down in the chair next to the bed.

 

“sorry. I came back right away, but I couldn’t take care of it.”

 

“Hey, it’s okay. Thank you for just that word. But does your baby look sleepy?”

 

“Oh, I am a bit tired. Originally, this is the time to sleep.”

 

Yawns kept leaking out.

 

Seeing this, Alice grinned and got up from the bed.

 

He went behind me, wrapped his arms around my shoulders, and pulled me toward him.

 

The back of his head sank into Alice’s chest and his eyes widened. It was very soft, and I felt an ecstatic pleasure regardless of my will.

 

I tilted my head back and my eyes met Alice, who was looking down at me with a kind smile.

 

“What are you doing?”

 

“You can see it, right? Because the baby seems to need a place to lean on. … Shall I sing you a lullaby?”

 

“I’m not used to it, you… .”

 

“What is new?”

 

You look pretty excited.

 

It felt like the distance from Alice had suddenly decreased.

 

“ah… , You must be a little ashamed. In front of my favorite Dorothy.”

 

Pretending to realize, Alice trembled in a breathy voice.

 

“baby. Dorothy… , I’m asleep right now.”

 

alluring voice.

 

His unique kind smile seemed more sultry today.

 

“Alice, what are you thinking?”

 

“Naughty thoughts.”

 

“what?”

 

I swallowed my breath in an instant at the reckless reply. What is he saying now… ?

 

Then, I heard the sound of something rubbing against the blanket.

 

Alice and I turned our heads toward the bed.

 

[…] … .]

 

“… Ella?”

 

At some point, on the bed, the white cat witch opened her hatchet eyes and glared at me.

 

It was Dorothy’s familiar, Ella.

 

“Turn off… .”

 

Soon Dorothy grabbed her head with one hand and slowly raised her upper body with a moan.

 

The cold towel that was on my forehead fell off.

 

Beyond the disheveled light purple hair, the cold starlight eyes looked directly at Alice who was hugging me from behind.

 

“Dorothy, good morning.”

 

Alice smiled as she met Dorothy’s eyes and hugged me tighter to her chest.

 

Heavy air flowed.

 

Suddenly, I had to feel dizzy, like walking on a tightrope.
