“By the way, how long did I sleep earlier?
“First time 8 hours, this time 18 hours.”
“WTF—how long it has been since I came here?“
“This seems to be your weakness. If I am guessing right then you need to sleep more than 15 hours per day; especially after using certain skills of yours.”
“I would have been over the moon if this was the real world but now I can’t see something good about it.”
“Others don’t need to sleep at all.”
“HUHH!!”
“Yeah, normal necessities of life are not needed here. No need to sleep, eat, wash, or stuff.”
“Every 24 hours everyone’s clothing changes to meet their requirements itself. For example, look at yourself. I don’t think any scenarios are coming for the next 24 hours as you are wearing a patient’s gown.”
“It’s… weird.”
“I agree” It was that kid.
“Hey, kiddo what’s your name?”
“Why do I need to reply to you?”
“I am Ashleen, your big bro’s scenario partner.”
“You are evil.”
“I guess I might be if you say so.” I smiled at him subconsciously. Looking at this little guy he’s pretty cute. He looks like the kid model of Anik.
“…You hurt big bro again and again.”
“I won’t do it anymore.”
“Why should I believe you?”
“You have other options?”
“…Only because big bro listens to you; I don’t like you though.”
“Haha, kiddo I am honored. You don’t need to like me though I like myself just enough.”
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
“You look sick”
“It’s been like that since my birth, can’t be helped,” I said shrugging.
“No for real you look sick”
“Ohh that might be because of this gown. Don’t worry your big bro won’t possibly blame you if his ‘80% power’ is gone.”
“… It’s not like that”
“Okok you should sleep now”
“Huh?”
“You should sleep, little bro. Kids should get enough sleep to grow tall quickly.”
“Who’s a kid? And I don’t need to sleep”
“Hey, healer lady if it’s not important to sleep then it’s not impossible to sleep either, right?”
“Yeah my lady”
“Hey kiddo” I smiled slyly.
“Why would I listen to you?”
“It’s an order, go to sleep.” And that little guy fell asleep immediately. I quickly supported him else he would wake up with a dent on his little forehead.
“That’s for calling me a woman; c’mon I am just a girl yet.”
“Haha, what a weird way to take revenge.” I picked up the kid and laid him down next to Anik.
“These two look like a son and a father or maybe brothers with a huge age gap. By the way healer lady does it mean that sleeping is not good at all either?”
“I don’t know that much…”
“Healer lady”
“Yes?”
“Go too, your room and sleep for a couple of hours.”
“But why milady? You might need me later.”
“I can always order to wake you up. I want people around me to have at least a bit of them left to resemble a human. No need to do all these might as well turn us into some different creatures mentally.”
“That’s a weird way to think but it sounds reasonable.”
She left after saying that.
“Damn, I forgot to ask where my room was.”
“It’s the room opposite to this one,” said Anik.
“How long have you been up?”
“Since you started telling this kiddo to sleep.”
“You are good at acting. Are you feeling better though?”
“Yeah “
“By the way who do you think this little guy is? I mean how did he end up in the orc’s area he doesn’t look traumatized at all after what happened to him.
“It looks different to me though. He looks traumatized to me. He might be an NPC but if he’s not an NPC then he would prove himself useful on time.
“Why do you think so?”
“He survived till I got to him.”
“That’s it? That is the entire reason you think he’s useful?”
“Yeah, I guess. So your memories… why did you want me to see them?”
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s just a habit of mine. Back there in the normal world too I had to share everything as soon as that happened. I didn’t know who to tell this time… and I… I was worried.” It felt weird to show my weak side and it was my first time as well. I don’t know why I told him or what I expected but I felt a lot better after telling him. “I mean you are my 80% power source after all…”
“Haha, why not? You are dumb.”
“Huh?”
“Nothing. By the way, don’t tell me you just sent the lady to sleep for that weird reason.”
“That weird reason was part of the reason but it felt reasonable enough I guess.”
“It was written all over your face that it wasn’t the main reason”
“I don’t know what weird scenario we might get next. And I think as a newly selected princess without any king or queen there is a huge chance that there might be someone scheming behind our back.”
“Why are you telling me then?”
“You asked and I was gonna tell you nonetheless because you can’t betray me.”
“Why do you think so?”
“I have 80% of your power after all”
“I can keep you captive”
