The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 143. Awakening

143. 143. 143. 143. Awakening

I woke up to the sound of gentle knocks. Sitting up and turning towards the source of the noise, I saw Colin outside the window. It seems like she woke me up on purpose.

“Hey, good morning, Colin-chan.”

“Good morning! Have a great day today!”

Colin bowed quickly and then left the room. It was still dim outside, around the time when the morning sun was starting to rise. She must be busy with preparations for departure.

In the distance, I could see Stinger dealing with the campfire. As I watched their work, I heard a rustling sound nearby. It was Isezaki-san, who was sitting up.

“Good morning, Isezaki-san.”

“Gooood morniiiiing.”

In response to my morning greeting, Isezaki-san replied with some mysterious language while smiling softly. I noticed that there were rolled-up tissues in both of her nostrils.

“Huh!?”

Realizing her own situation, Isezaki-san quickly pulled out the tissues from her nose. I widened my eyes in shock at the red-stained tissues.

“Wow, are you okay with that!?”

“Eek! Yes, I’m fine now! I think I got a little dizzy last night, and that’s why this happened!”

Indeed, Isezaki-san often gets nosebleeds. So maybe it’s not so unusual.

Even though she could have used “Heal” if she had woken me up, she must have been considerate. She’s really a kind girl.

“The bleeding seems to have stopped, but… are you really okay?”

“Yes! I’m full of energy now!”

Saying so with a smile, Isezaki-san’s complexion seemed better than usual, as if she had absorbed energy from somewhere, rather than being slightly anemic. I’m still a bit groggy even though I just woke up.

Feeling the age difference with Isezaki-san unexpectedly, I slumped my shoulders. Then, I suddenly noticed a faint smell emanating from my chest. Oh, right…

“I forgot to use ‘Purify Clean’ last night. Um, was the smell okay?”

As a guy in his late twenties, I try to be mindful of my body odor. If Isezaki-san were to say I smell like an old man or have body odor, it would be quite a shock…

Shaking her head vigorously, Isezaki-san said, “No, not at all! In fact, it’s a pleasant scent, like a fragrance that would dominate the fashion trend if it were concentrated and sold as perfume! So please be confident, sir!”

I received such a powerful statement from her. While I understand that she is overestimating me as usual and showing concern, I really don’t want my body odor to be turned into perfume. I decided to ignore that and continue the conversation.

“Well, anyway, can I ask for ‘Purify Clean’?”

“Sure… If that’s what you want…”

For some reason, Isezaki-san shook my hand a little disappointedly as she performed “Purify Clean.”

A sparkling light spread throughout the carriage, and my whole body felt refreshed in an instant. It’s truly a convenient magic.

“Thank you. I’ll go outside first, then. Let’s have breakfast together later.”

“Yes, sir. See you later.”

Women take time to prepare, after all. I left the carriage and headed towards Stinger to greet them for the morning.
