❝ That's quite the journey you've traced yourself. Yet, you're planning to go through it all by yourself despite having friends and a teacher you can rely on. ❞
Saori twitched softly when Makima traced her fingertips against her wounds with pain sensitivity.
"Yes. I know it. That's why I had to shut myself in my room for a few days and let a little wound heal before I went to work a part-time gig and continued to rebuild Arius Academy."
❝ What a noble cause, truly!
But then, I doubt those friends of yours would like seeing you in such a state. ❞
- she would trace along Saori's body with her fingertip. -
❝ All those cuts, wounds and bruises. I believe they'd really hate seeing you in this sorry state. ❞
Saori lets out a sigh.
"Fine Makima-Sensei. You can stay help and patch me up...
I don't want to put my friends on a dangerous mission. That's why I have to do it by myself. I can't afford to lose my friend squad..."
❝ Oh? But you look pretty roughed up Joumae.
And if I leave you in such a state, Hakari will get upset against me- ❞
- Makima would sigh softly as she closed the door behind her. -
❝ At least, let me clean and disinfect your wounds before changing those bandages. ❞
❝ Not the right place? Oh right, you're telling sensei you'd rather have us at your place~
Now that's a sneaky dragon I've gotten myself~ ❞.
- she was definitely teasing the student, but also looked forward a positive response. -
❝ It isn't a threat, but I will say I'm happy you won't do anything.
Now if I may request it, would you mind making me some coffee to start this long day we've got ahead of us? ❞
