Naruhito (2)
Hitachimaru was shaving his beard, making a scratchy sound. I wanna touch it.
“Do you find beard unusual? I just shaved it off. Have His Highness let you touch his.”
“Naruhito, here.”
I reached for Hiiro’s cheek.
Prickly, prickly.
How amusing.
He rubbed his cheek against mine. It hurts~
“By the way, Naruhito, doesn’t grow a beard, right? What about body hair?”
“There was none.”
“Huh? Is that so? Could it be that he’s even younger than we thought? Like around 10 years old or something?”
Rude. That’s not it. I shake my head vigorously. An elite who survived on the battlefield for three years can’t be that young, you know~
“Oh, you’re unusually adamant about denying that. Do you have some pride? So, how old are you?”
No idea.
“You don’t know?”
When I tilted my head, Hitachimaru stumbled.
Knock, knock, the door was lightly tapped. “Come in,” Hiiro said, and a man in a white coat over a military uniform came in.
“Excuse me. Your Highness, you’re up early.”
“Yeah.”
“Oh? Is he awake? What can I do for you?”
“Don’t worry, just as usual. I washed him yesterday and properly redressed the bandages already.”
“You washed him? Redressed? What are you doing?”
The man in the white coat rushed over to me. He gently touched my head.
“You cut his hair. That’s good… Oh, just as I thought. He has a fever. Please call me over when you do something like this. Ah, geez…”
The man gently picked me up from where I was next to Hitachimaru, who was shaving his beard. Huh? He’s much thinner than Hiiro and Hitachimaru, but he’s strong.
Soon, Hiiro, who was next to me, picked me up and held me again. Yay. Hug.
“I didn’t notice because he was in such a good mood. Indeed, he’s quite hot.”
I was put back on the bed. I wanted to cling, but I didn’t have the strength. Too bad.
“Naruhito, this is Ikumatsu. He always wipes your body and treats your wounds.”
Wow. Thank you very much. I bow my head. Oh, moving my head makes me dizzy.
“You have good manners. That’s nice, but you’re about to collapse. Well, go to sleep, I’ll take care of the rest.”
This person is kind too… Even though I killed so many people, did I make it to heaven?
God, thank you.
