Apparently, I’m a Childhood Friend of a Saint in the World of Light Novels, and When We Meet Again After a Few Years at School, She’s Turned into Some Kind of Yandere?
“Hmmm …… morning huh ……”
I wake up feeling sluggish.
The drowsiness had not disappeared and my eyelids were heavy.
I wondered how long it had been since my body had felt this heavy.
“Good morning. Alan kun. Are you awake?”
“…… Charlotte?”
For some reason, I saw Charlotte’s face in front of me.
I rubbed my eyes, thinking I was sleepwalking.
But I could only see Charlotte’s face even more clearly.
“……Why are we in this situation?”
“Fufu, would you like to hear?”
Usually I wake up first, or I wake up to the sound of Charlotte cooking breakfast, so I have never encountered a situation where I woke up and Charlotte was right in front of me looking at me.
Moreover, if I look closely, I see that I am holding Charlotte around my waist.
So I was sure that this situation was my fault.
“……I’m going to ask you something. Why are we, or rather I, holding Charlotte’s waist?”
“I’ll tell you.”
Charlotte became smug after saying that.
I had a bad feeling about it, but after hearing it myself, I couldn’t say I didn’t want to hear it, so I decided to listen to it honestly.
“Unusually, Alan kun didn’t wake up today, so I came to see how he was doing. Then Alan kun pulled me under the covers and hugged me.”
“…………”
“Then he whispered to me, ‘I love Charlotte’”
“…………”
“And then he said all kinds of things in his sleep and hugged me tight and…”
“I-I know, I know! All right, that’s it, no more of that!”
Any more and I’ll die of embarrassment.
There is a mysterious embarrassment in being seen doing this and that in an unconscious state.
My face is hot.
“Fufu, you don’t have to be so shy, okay? Alan-kun was so cute when he was sleeping.”
“I’m embarrassed about embarrassing things. Even Charlotte doesn’t like to be seen sleeping, does she?”
“It’s not that I’m not embarrassed at all,…… but it’s okay if it’s Alan-kun,……”
I guess I’m embarrassed after all.
But I feel a little calmer now that I’m talking about it.
The heat in my face had subsided.
“Well then, I’ll go and make the rest of breakfast, shall I?”
“No.”
“He……? Hya!?”
I stopped Charlotte from standing up and pulled her back into the futon.
This time, I hugged Charlotte from behind and wrapped my arms around Charlotte’s stomach.
“Moou… breakfast is getting cold, you know?”
“Charlotte’s rice tastes great even when it’s cold. I’d rather have a second sleep with Charlotte now.”
“Fufu, you’re being very sweet today, aren’t you? I understand, let’s sleep together.”
“Yeah. Thank you.”
Maybe I was still tired from yesterday’s battle.
The impact of using magic for the first time in my life was that big.
But more than that, I felt that lightning magic had a great future.
“Speaking of which, did Charlotte know that I might be able to use magic before?”
Charlotte had a complicated look on her face when I told her about my inability to use magic at the inn where I was staying after we met again for the entrance exam.
I wondered if I could use magic from that time on.
“No, I didn’t notice it because I hardly felt any magic power from Alan kun at that time. It’s just that …… it’s hard to describe in words, but I felt something strange. ……”
“I wonder if that’s also because Charlotte is a saint,…… and Hayman-san and Emily didn’t seem to notice anything in particular.”
Hayman san is also from a noble family, so he can use magic.
I saw it once, and it was quite powerful.
I mean, that guy’s swordsmanship is outstanding, so he probably doesn’t even need to use magic.
I’d like to fight each other with all my might someday. ……
“It was really just a slight discomfort. It’s a nostalgic feeling somehow,…….”
Charlotte doesn’t seem to understand it well either.
There is no point in continuing this story any further.
There is no way to know what that feeling of discomfort is.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for asking such a question out of the blue.”
“No, it’s all right. I am more relieved.”
“Relieved of what?”
I asked her that and Charlotte turned to me and hugged me from the front.
Charlotte looks up and smiles.
“Because Alan-kun unconsciously asked for me, you know? Of course I’m happy about that.”
“Ah,…… that’s right.”
“I was relieved to see that I was the only one Alan kun was looking at. If Alan kun had been looking at another woman, I would have had to have a long talk with him.”
Charlotte was smiling, but her eyes were not smiling at all.
I felt a chill run down my spine at the look in her eyes.
I had never thought of cheating on a woman before, but I promised myself that I would be more careful from now on.
◇◆◇
Charlotte’s eyes are now safely lit up and she is starting to get a little sleep.
I am awakened by a knock at the door.
” ……? a visitor at this hour?”
“I wasn’t expecting anyone in particular though ……”
Charlotte didn’t seem to have any idea who it was.
I had no choice but to get up and head for the front door.
When I opened the door…
“Good morning, Alan dono. I apologize for the hour.”
A man of about 35 years old with a well-shaped face and brown hair came to the door.
He was wearing …… the armor of the Kingsguard.
“No,……who are you,……?”
“I beg your pardon. My name is Edward Harris. I’m the vice-captain of the Kingsguard and Hayman san’s second-in-command.”
Hayman san told me about him.
He told me that when he was effectively retired, he entrusted the Kingsguard to a man named Edward, his second-in-command.
So …… he is in fact the current head of the Kingsguard.
“Nice too meet you Edward san. So what can I do for you?”
Hayman san has told me that he is a man I can trust, but I have not seen him with my own eyes.
I asked without letting my guard down.
“His Majesty the King wishes to speak with you. Will the saint too accompany him to the royal castle?”
“……!!”
The king’s …… audience……
