115. Levi and Onee-sama

“Isezaki-san!?”

As Isezaki-san collapsed to the floor, nosebleeding, Holly quickly rushed over, scooped her up, and laid her swiftly on the bed, wiping her nosebleed away with a towel.

In just three seconds, Holly, the competent maid, had everything under control. Truly efficient in both decision-making and action.

As Holly stored the towel in her “storage,” she furrowed her brows at Isezaki-san, who seemed strangely happy.

“You suddenly had a nosebleed. Does Isezaki-sama have any chronic illnesses?”

“No, she’s just a bit shy.”

“Shy… Is that the issue…?”

Although Holly tilted her head in confusion, it was understandable given the circumstances. Even with someone like me, Isezaki-san gets shy just by holding hands.

If she’s that shy, it’s not surprising she’d have a nosebleed if she suddenly hugged me in joy. Besides, it’s happened once before, and she’ll probably regain consciousness soon.

“Hmm…”

Just as I thought that, Isezaki-san, with a hoarse voice, opened her eyes. She looked up at me with a vague expression.

“Ah, uh… Master…?”

“Isezaki-san, are you okay?”

“Yes… It felt like I had a wonderful dream…”

For just a moment of fainting, it seems she was able to have a good dream. Her complexion wasn’t bad, and her voice was clear. She seemed fine.

As I breathed a sigh of relief, Holly interjected herself between Isezaki-san and me.

“Isezaki-sama, my apologies. If your health is okay, may I continue the conversation?”

“…Ah! R-Right! Levi!”

Remembering the situation before fainting due to Holly’s words, Isezaki-san hastily got up from the bed. Holly, watching her, added another comment.

“So Isezaki-sama calls Levia-sama by her nickname.”

“…! My apologies. It was… I was half-asleep, so please forgive me…”

Awkwardly explaining the slip of the tongue of calling Levi by her nickname, Isezaki-san. It seemed like calling aristocrats by their nicknames was inappropriate, so I thought she was being warned about it――but Holly shook her head lightly.

“No, it’s not a problem at all.”

“…Huh?”

With Isezaki-san’s voice sounding puzzled, Holly continued as if nothing unusual had happened.

“As long as you two are on such familiar terms, it’s not an issue for a servant-like me to comment.”

“I-Is that so? Thank you for your understanding.”

“Then please take a seat here.”

As Isezaki-san breathed a sigh of relief, Holly pulled out a chair from the table and gestured for her to sit.

As Isezaki-san sat down next to me, Holly took out a tea set from her “storage” and placed a steaming cup of tea in front of us.

“I’ll take that.”

Perhaps wanting some hydration after the nosebleed, Isezaki-san immediately took a sip of the tea. Watching her, Holly also took a seat.

“I’ve heard that Levia-sama affectionately calls Isezaki-sama ‘Onee-sama,’ just as Isezaki-sama calls Levia-sama by her nickname.”

Smiling, Isezaki-san nodded. While looking at Isezaki-san with a smile, Holly spoke with a distant look in her eyes.

“…As far as I know, there was only one person who Levia-sama called ‘Onee-sama’ before.”

At those words, Isezaki-san twitched her eyebrows slightly. But Holly continued without concern.

“She met that person when she was young, as part of her education, at a church where she was entrusted. That person was very skilled at climbing trees and catching bugs, and Levia-sama always followed her around.”

Isezaki-san looked somewhat embarrassed as she listened while directing her gaze to a point on the table. This was undoubtedly a story from her childhood.

Although I’ve heard it before, it seems that at one point, while being raised by the innkeeper Emmy in the downtown of another world, she was quite mischievous.

“However, unfortunately, that person passed away. Since then, as if adding insult to injury to the grieving Levia-sama, harassment from Delixir began to occur one after another. Although Levia-sama tried to remain composed, it was clear that she was struggling, and all of us servants felt as if our hearts were about to burst.”

With that, Holly stopped speaking and stared at Isezaki-san.

“However, since meeting with Miss Isezaki, she has become much more cheerful, just like when she used to talk about memories with her older sister. She’s been showing a brighter expression more often.”

“Oh, is that so? That’s very delightful, isn’t it?”

“Yes, seeing the master’s smile brings unexpected joy to us servants. ‘You were alive after all, Saint Seina-sama.’ “

“Wha—!!”

With the sudden shocking statement, Isezaki-san spewed out her tea, and Holly swiftly dodged it.

“W-What are you talking about?! I don’t understand at all! Holly-san, you’re quite good at jokes! Hohoho!”

Despite Isezaki-san’s flustered state, laughing loudly, if she’s this agitated, it’s practically the same as confessing already.

Although I’ve seen it a few times since coming to this other world, Isezaki-san is surprisingly weak in a pinch. I think that aspect of her is quite cute.

While Isezaki-san continued to laugh nervously, I casually patted her shoulder and shook my head.

“Isezaki-san, it’s okay. There’s no need to force yourself to keep it hidden.”

Holly nodded in agreement with my words.

“I suppose so… I thought it would be difficult to establish a cooperative relationship if your identity remained concealed, so I took the liberty of probing. I apologize for the rudeness.”

After wiping the soaked table clean and bowing her head, Holly. I had no objections to her opinion. I had been considering bringing it up myself.

Besides, Isezaki-san had been calling me ‘ojisama’ multiple times when she entered the room, and it was long since clear that we were not a real married couple. It’s only natural for them to have various suspicions about us.

But when I conveyed that, Holly’s eyes widened in surprise, an unusual expression.

“…No, I hadn’t considered that possibility. I simply assumed that Miss Isezaki was engaging in playful role-play… So, are you two not married!?”

“Well, it seems like we do look like a well-suited couple after all ! Hehe!”

Isezaki-san, who had been flustered just a moment ago, was now in high spirits as if nothing had happened.

And thus, I, who had been referred to as ‘ojisama’ by my new wife, was shocked to the core at being seen as someone with such peculiar proclivities. 

Finally, after revealing our identities, we transitioned to the main topic — discussing how to rescue Lady Levia from her predicament.
