The voice is…… this is Iris…… isn"t it……
Ivar is? What?
Ivar!
When I opened my eyes, Ivar was cutting his wrist with knife and bleeding. W, what is he doing? What is going on? No, rather than that, have to stop the bleeding.
I grasp Ivar"s wrist and stop the bleeding first.
Next is, what should I do next……
Ah, a cloth…… I should have bought a cloth. That should be good as bandage……
But, even while held, the blood drips on the floor. What to do, what should be the best thing to do?
When I look up at Ivar, his eyes are blank as if he couldn"t see anything…… some incomprehensible words are escaping from his lips…… I have to stop him. I have to stop Ivar.
I slap Ivar with all my might. Holding his wrist with my left hand and with my right hand.
Pashi~n
「Ivar! What are you doing! Get a hold of yourself」
「…… Ba…… Baa…… Baachan?」
「Leave Baachan aside. Right now, what were you doing? The bleeding, stop the bleeding」
「Baachan……」
He brushes off my grasping hand and embraces me……
Ah~ the blood, the bleeding has not stopped yet.
「Ivar, hugging is fine, but let"s stop the bleeding first, okay?」
Ah~ mou…… my eyes will fall if you cry so much, together with tears……
「Look, let"s stop the blood first, okay?」
I tap on Ivar"s back.
「U…… un……」
Quickly. Am I the only one panicking…… Iris is looking at me with an extremely strange gaze. Her lips are flapping open and close……
I wonder if she got startled by my shouting?
「Ivar! Let"s quickly stop the blood!」
At last, he noticed and looked at me. But, he"s startled. Un, let"s quickly stop the bleeding……
「Baachan, why are you bloodstained?」
「Yes? It"s because Ivar cut his wrist……」
「When did I get hurt, I wonder……」
「Un, quickly stop the bleeding. Call Iris over」
「Iris?」
「…… The wound will close if Iris uses Heal, won"t it?」
「Ah, un」
I look around……
「Baachan, cancel this」
N? What is this? I didn"t do anything……
「I"m not doing anything…… Iris is flapping her mouth open and close over there because Ivar did something, isn"t she?」
「Ah!」
Ivar does something with his b.l.o.o.d.y right hand……
「Ivar!『O" power, take on a shape of healing and close Ivar"s wound, Heal』」
It seems Iris used Heal on Ivar right away.
I wonder what happened? While I was asleep. First of all, let"s hear the two while drinking water from the water bag.
But before that, we have to clean this. It reeks of blood……
「Iris, I"m sorry but could you use Clean around here?」
「Yes. Wait a moment, okay?『Wash my surroundings with my power, Clean』 」
「Thank you. So, let"s talk, okay?」
「Ivar, what were you doing? Please explain so I can udnerstand」
「Don"t remember……」
「Then, when you came to, you did something with the blood, right? What did you do?」
「N…… removed barrier」
「Barrier? What is that?」
「Wall……」
I don"t really understand. Could Iris explain it more clearly?
「Iris, have you understood that? I would like an explanation」
「I"m not sure because I don"t have the attribute, but it was a spell of the dark attribute Ivar possesses. It makes a wall from magic. I could not hear the sound inside, I even couldn"t feel the presences」
「A magic wall…… say…… Ivar did something with his blood, but what was that?」
「That also, was an attribute magic…… it"s generally used to control people, however……」
I have a headache……
I wonder what Ivar wanted to do?
「Control…… what could be done? Ivar, what did you want to do?」
「Don"t know」
Ivar hangs his almost crying face down. Really, what did he want to do, I wonder……
For the time being, let"s sleep…… it would be better to sleep for both Ivar and me……
Let"s speak again after calming down. Which reminds me, I made covers for the cushion, didn"t I? I only completed one for Ivar and Iris, though.
I retrieve a knitted sweater from the carry-on and stuff it inside Ivar"s cover with an embroidered cup.
「Ivar, do you remember this?」
「Un, short rest」
「That"s right, this is Ivar"s cushion. Let"s rest for a little bit, okay? Together」
「Un」
Although I thought he was young…… Ivar seems to have returned to a baby. His emotions are pulling him back, making his actions similar to a toddler.
Can"t be helped. He will return to normal after a while.
「Ivar, come to the side. Look, it"s a cushion subst.i.tute for a pillow」
I lay down and place the cushion around my belly. Ivar excitedly snuggled up to my side with his head on the cushion.
While stroking his head (sometimes I patted his back) he fell asleep.
He"s at a difficult age, isn"t he?
When I woke up early in the morning…… Ivar was clinging to my body. How did he end up hugging me like this?
He"s cute so let"s leave it aside. …… I"m a no good fellow. I"m Baba Fool, aren"t I?
A, anyway? Let"s pat his head.
