And the result was—
“............”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Sella let out a scream.
How embarrassing, how embarrassing, how embarrassing, how embarrassing!
The silver-haired homunculus hugged a pillow and rolled back and forth across her bed.
She had actually let Shirou see her like that!
She had even insisted that he carry her out of the bathtub.
Aaaaaaah!
No, no, no, no, no!
Ugh, she could just die...!
Sella buried her burning face in her hands and lay facedown on the bed, breathing hard.
Just as she began biting her pillow to vent her frustration, the bedroom door clicked open.
“Sella...? It’s already this late. Why are you still in bed?”
“Ah... L-Leysritt?”
Sella scrambled upright.
Leysritt looked concerned. “Sella, are you all right?”
“Hm? What? I-I’m fine. Why would you suddenly ask that?”
“When Shirou helped you back yesterday, he said you seemed a little strange. He asked me to keep an eye on you.”
“Oh... He said that?”
Hearing this only deepened Sella’s regret.
Her momentary lapse in judgment had made both Shirou and Leysritt worry about her.
She forced a smile. “Yes, I think I got a little dizzy from staying in the bath too long yesterday. But after a night’s sleep, I’m completely recovered.”
“As long as you’re all right.”
Leysritt nodded.
Watching her straightforward response, Sella could not help wondering how they could be so different when they were twin sisters created in the same batch.
“If you’re fine, let’s go. Everyone’s waiting for us to eat.”
“All right.”
Sella followed Leysritt toward the living room.
“By the way... did Shirou say anything last night?”
“About what?”
Leysritt tilted her head, noticing how awkwardly Sella was scratching her cheek.
She stopped to think.
