Chapter 60

“We will get the reward money for the request tomorrow and then we will leave this town.”

“Okay.”

I nodded at Alaine’s words. 

“You better get some good night’s sleep tonight! Now then, good night!”

Alaine reached out to the magic device and turned off the light. The room was illuminated not by my magic but by this magic device. We were staying at a high class inn so there were plenty of magic devices for daily use. 

“Phew….”

I rolled on top of the bed and sighed. Then I buried my face into the soft bed. 

“………….”

Snore…. Snore….

Looking at the ceiling, I was surprised to hear the sound of Alaine’s snore. It only had been one minute since she said good night to me but she was already deep asleep. 

“I can’t sleep.”

I muttered under my breath. 

I’m sleepy. I’m so sleepy I can just die right now. I want to sleep now but…. I can’t sleep. 

I’m scared. I’m scared of having another nightmare. 

I’m scared. I’m scared to close my eyes. 

I’m scared. I’m scared of sleeping. 

I’m scared. I’m scared. I’m scared. 

I’m scared of everything. To begin with… Where am I exactly? What is this place? Why am I in a city I don’t know anything about and doing something I completely don’t understand about? 

I don’t understand… I don’t understand……

Why am I suddenly able to eat my meal? 

I don’t have any slightest idea of what’s going on. 

If my hand… If this is just a dream then… When I go to sleep then… I might return to that other world again and then… The meal I eat will taste repulsive again… 

I didn’t want to go back to that other world. I didn’t have any emotional attachment to that world. Alaine was still beside me anyway. 

Maybe I can’t sleep here either… Maybe if I go to sleep, I will lose my sense of taste again. 

Why does my sense of taste become weird and why does it become normal again? I don’t have the answer for either of those and it makes me feel scared of doing anything. 

Snore…. Snore….

I could hear the loud snoring coming from beside me. I turned my body around and looked at the ceiling beside me. 

Next to me. I saw Alaine sleeping nonchalantly on the same bed next to me. She was deep asleep and there was even a drool dripping from her mouth. 

Snore…. Snore….

“Pfft…”

Looking at Alaine who was still snoring loudly, I let out a small laugh. It was pretty hard to sleep when someone was snoring so loudly right beside you like this.

“I like you so much.”

I gently caressed Alaine’s cheek and secretly kissed her cheek. 

After that, just like usual, I went outside. I went to practice my swordsmanship… 

…….Of course. It’s not like my sense of taste is going to turn weird if I swing my sword, right….?
