Chapter 63- Mana [5]
"Come to think of it, you're starting night patrol alone from today, right?"
"Yes, starting tonight, I'll be doing it by myself."
"If something happens, call me right away. You know where my dorm room is, right?"
"Yes, I do, but… I can't exactly enter the girls' dormitory…"
"It's fine. With your Disciplinary Committee privileges, you'll be allowed to enter."
Eleanor continued patting my head as she spoke.
"But you won't call me anyway, will you? No matter what happens, you'll try to handle it alone."
"Yes, I think I probably will."
"That's a good attitude, but don't overwork yourself. I don't want to see my precious junior exhausted."
"Thank you for your concern. But… Lady Eleanor?"
"What is it?"
"When do you plan to stop patting my head…?"
"Hmm, not sure. The more I touch it, the nicer it feels."
Eleanor's face remained blank as she continued to carefully stroke my hair.
"I don't know why, but I just feel like touching your hair a little longer."
