Chapter 2, Episode 19: Good Night!

"Farne-sama!! Farne-sama!!!”

　When I returned to the temple from Claire's place, I went straight to see Farne-sama.
　When I rushed over, Farne-sama, who usually waited for me in my room, was not there.

　Huh? Huh? That's strange, isn't it?

　Where is he? Where is Farne-sama?
　My place is big, so I ran around and looked for Farne-sama, but I couldn't find him.
　I wonder if he is working with Lars-sama?

"Hey, Farne, we're back!"

　Kyle also searched for him, and then he opened the door to Farne-sama's room with a click.

"Oh, he's sleeping."

　Kyle murmured, so I peeked into the room and saw him sitting in a chair by the window, fast asleep.
　It's been a while since I've seen Farne-sama sleeping.
　His eyelashes are long and very beautiful.
　His blue bangs hang over his face, making him look like an angel.

"Hey, h……"

　I sat quietly next to him as Kyle-san tried to wake him up.

"……Don't you need to wake him up?”

　Kyle asked, so I shook my head.
　I brought over a chair that was in Farne-sama's room to sit down next to him, after which Kyle-san bowed and left.
　I sat in front of Farne-sama and watched his sleeping face while flapping my legs.
　Sometimes, I feel like this.
　It reminds me of the old days.
　Back when I was only with Farne-sama.

　When I was still stuck in bed and couldn't move.

　He would come home from work and make dinner for me.
　He blew on it and then fed it to me.
　After I finished eating, he would brush my teeth for me.
　He would bring me water.

　Then he would wipe me down and read me a story, but sometimes Farne-sama would fall asleep first.
　He would fall asleep with a picture book in his hands while sitting in the chair.

　Ahh, ahh, ahh.

　I would call out to Farne-sama, and sometimes he would wake up and sometimes he wouldn't.
　Looking back now, I think he was probably just tired from work and looking after me.
　I looked at Farne-sama's beautiful sleeping face as I talked to him in my thoughts.

　At the time, I kept thinking how happy I would be if I could chat with you, Farne-sama.

　I wanted to tell you how much I love you, and also say “thank you” a lot.
　I can say it now. I can say “I love you” and “thank you” with my voice.

　That's why I have to say it.
　It's wonderful to be able to express what you want to say.
　Being able to speak a language is like magic.

　When Farne-sama wakes up, I'll say a lot.
　I love you, thank you.
　Even though you were busy with work and taking care of me, you always put me first.
　I didn't understand at the time, but now I know how hard it was for you, Farne-sama.
　I have to repay all your kindness.
　I'm going to become a great saint that you can be proud of, Farne-sama.

　I realized that I still had Farne-sama's cookies in my hand.
　I wonder if he'll be happy if I give him the cookies at the dance.

　I have to hide them while Farne-sama is asleep.
　I hid the cookies in my drawer and sat next to Farne-sama.

　I smiled, feeling happy as I looked at Farne-sama sleeping.

　Good night Farne-sama.
