Ch.65 My Elegant Dogeza (Three Fingers)

"Have you calmed down?"

"………………"

"Ruru-san?"

"...Eh? Ah, yeah?"

I entrusted myself to Ruru for a little while.

Yeah, it's the usual Ruru-san feel.

Her body feels soft and flexible, and it's not heavy on top of my head, so it fits just right.

Also, it's comforting when it's a smell that you're familiar with.

It hasn't been that long yet, but I've noticed that this girl's smell is the most comforting to me.

"...Ruru-san, are you okay?"

"Ah, Chiho-chan. Yes, I'm okay?"

I see, if I do this my thoughts won't be detected by this child.

...I'm starting to feel like I'm seriously easy to read.

『I'm sorry Lili-san, I left you behind.』

『...No, it's fine...』

『?』

Girls are basically creatures who get upset if they aren't given attention.

That goes for Ruru-san, and Emi-san... She's fine if I leave her alone, in fact she's completely normal as long as I don't act like an actual little girl, and Kushima-san just stares at me from afar like she is now, and although I don't really understand, she doesn't get angry about anything other than the alcohol.

Huh?

Maybe I've been thinking recently that "so-called girls" are one and the same, but actually Ruru-san is the only example?

Anyways what's wrong with Lili-san?

In order to keep Ruru-san calm, I let her touch my hair and hug us as much as she wanted, but it seemed like she just kept smiling when she looked at us.

In fact, that's still the case today.

What a big smile.

...Does she have a younger sister?

『Are you feeling better now? ... Umm, I was just asking about her health, Ruru-san."

(TL : Apparently she switched language right after asking)

For some reason, I can switch language when I'm conscious of it, so I thought maybe I could do it even while I'm speaking.

I can

It's amazing.

『Yes, I’m fine now…』

『But you still seem a bit dazed... Ah, Kushima-san, Lili-san fainted a few times earlier, is she okay?"

"Fainting... Please wait a moment..."

Fainting is pretty bad.

I think so too.

Kushima-san quickly starts calling the nurse.

It would be so sad if I went to the trouble of helping someone only to find out, "Actually, she hit her head after all..."

"...Lily-chan, are you feeling unwell?"

"That seems to be the case... Ah, Lili-san, this girl named Ruru-san is also worried about you.』

『I see... I'm sorry for worrying you. But I'm fine.』

"She said she's fine, Ruru-san. ... What did the doctor say?』

『No detailed examination was necessary.』

『Detailed examination... hmm, this starts getting annoying, can I just skip the translation?"

"I won't understand what she's saying unless Haru-chan translates for me, so do your best!"

"Ehh..."

This is really annoying... Why do I have to consciously change my language every time I'm speaking?

It might even be better to say the same thing twice.

In fact, it's probably easier that way.

◇

『...They're going to do a little check on my body just to be sure. ...I also have a meeting to attend after this, if there are no problems with my body...』

『Really? Having a meeting right after must be tough.』

The conversation continued for 10 minutes with me as the middle man.

I'm tired.

I've had enough.

Finally, a nurse came in and tried to ask Lili-san, but it turned out she didn't speak foreign languages, so I had to step in again.

I couldn't understand or think of any medical terms, so maybe this mysterious translation function isn't all that versatile.

That's fine because I don't feel at ease unless it's that good.

"Lili-chan!"

『Yes, let's talk about Haru-sama again, Ruru-sama!』

And for some reason, they only talked about me... I mean, I was interpreting, so I remembered every conversation twice... It seems like the two of them hit it off.

Ruru-san, who thought I had been taken away from her, and Lili-san, who seemed anxious because she couldn't talk, have become good friends.

I was just an interpreter, and Kushima-san was just tapping on her smartphone, except when Ruru-san occasionally asked her to talk.

『Haru-sama too.』

『Yes. ...Now that I think about it, why do you use "sama"?』

『I can't...?』

『No, it's fine.』

She called Ruru-san with "sama" as well, so I guess that's just how she is normally.

I wonder if she goes to a girls' school or something.

Saying "greetings" Or something like that

And it's not an imported Japanese version, but the authentic one that's been around for hundreds of years.

『May your blessings be upon you.』

『Ah, yes, thank you.』

"Wow, it's beautiful..."

"A natural curtsy... Such upper-class etiquette. It was the first time I'd seen someone bend their knees and spread their skirts like that..."

Lili-san does the things that you see ladylike characters do in manga and other places very naturally.

I feel like we live in different worlds.

That's kind of nice.

◇

And so the room became quiet.

I suddenly slipped out of Ruru-sam's arms and turned around.

Then I sit with my legs in a seiza position and my back straight.

"Um...Haru-chan?"

"What is it?"

"Why aren't you moving from the bed...?"

"It's my own version of justice."

"No, but aren't your legs numb?"

"Not so much since I got this body."

This child and I are connected by a tacit understanding.

At least when it comes to being angry.

"Well, this time it was to help people, right? Nothing special."

"Aren't you angry?"

"But Haru-san, if only you had just said something to us."

"I'm sorry"

I bow my head .

Specifically, it's the three fingers version inspired from Lili-san's curtsy from earlier.

I managed to make a really beautiful three fingers.

"I-I said it's okay?!"

"But"

"It was really annoying that you came without our permission, but it couldn't be helped. After we realized that Haru-san wasn't there, we desperately tried to contact you, but we knew that it was impossible because your phone must be on silent mode, just like last time."

"Sorry"

Oh, this looks like Kushima-san is pretty angry.

It's scary that she says it so calmly without changing the tone of her voice at all.

Ruru-san and my mother are the type to get angry emotionally, so I'm used to that, but this one is really scaring me.

"...Haru-chan, at least don't put your smartphone on silent mode, okay...?"

"……………………………………"

"Haru-san, if you have anything to say, please let me know. I'm not angry."

Oh, I'll get in trouble if I don't answer.

"I have it on silent mode."

"Yes"

"When I was reading books, Ruru-san and Emi-san keep sending me chat messages and beeping messages over and over again, and it's annoying..."

"Huh?"

"And since it's annoying, I put it on silent mode, and I just left it like that."

"Um, well."

"...I agree, to be honest...Ruru-san, please refrain from doing so in the future."

Oh.

Judging from the direction of her voice, it seemed like she was directing her anger at Ruru-san.

Or rather, Kushima-san agrees with me...I wish she would have told them sooner.

It's my fault for not saying anything though.

"If you do that while I'm at work... Sometimes Haru-san will contact me and say she needs something, so I can't even turn it off..."

"I'm so sorry!!"

It feels like the area of the bed next to me is sinking in.

I take a quick look.

Ruru-san also performed a beautiful dogeza.

Ah.

We're similar.

"...Haru-san"

"Yes, from now on I'll tell you when I escape."

"No, that's not the point..."

"?"

If I need to escape, I'll escape.

So I promised to contact them even if it was after the fact.

"Haru-chan..."

"...Haru-san, you should put on wristbands on both your arms..."

"Yeah, that might be good..."

"Something with built-in GPS..."

"It might be better to put her on a leash and have someone watch over her..."

I'm a little regretful about this.

I think I rushed things a little too much because of what happened with Ruru-san.

It's okay, I'll be more careful next time.

Everyone makes mistakes, if I don't make it twice...oh no, it was already the second time.

...It'll be okay as long as I don't do it the third time, right...?

Right?

But I feel like something is missing.

What is it?

...Ah, right, Hentai-san isn't here.

Emi-san is usually always with them, so I wonder where she went.
