Chapter 90 – Wow… I’m So Awake.

I heard Stay’s words through Nice: ‘I hate those three people.’

When Mei Ruina first heard these words, the moment she interpreted the true meaning of these words, she subconsciously intuited that she would not be able to endure, and the anger she forced upon her caused her to postpone the interpretation.

If she had been there alone, she would have been Mei Rui, but she herself would have realized that what she was burning now was unreasonable anger, and in the end, she would have had no choice but to accept Stay’s words, but fortunately, there were other people there besides her.

The more people who express the same kind of emotion, the stronger the intensity of the emotion becomes, and so May Ruina, along with Dain Adamas and Mir Ryuin, burned up their anger and completely buried Stay’s words that Nice had conveyed.

“Ahhh… Uh, what should I do? “If you come to me so suddenly, especially in the middle of the night, you will absolutely hate me…”

And now, Mei Ruina belatedly remembered Stay’s words that she heard that day, and she didn’t know what to do.

If she had planned in advance, she would have brought gifts and tried to win his favor, but Mei Ruina was a coward who didn’t even have the courage to dig deep into her relationship with Stay, and she didn’t want to be abandoned by him. He looked more scared than anything else.

The problem she had been putting off, fueled by her fear and anger, came to the fore at this important moment.

“If I hear Stay say he doesn’t like it… Then I really won’t be able to bear it. “I’m going to fall down on her knees and cry… Sob.”

Just imagining hearing such terrible words from Stay made her nose twitch, and her vision blur.

That’s why, even though it was past midnight, May Ruina had a café within sight where the lights were still on, and she could clearly feel Stay’s presence, she couldn’t run to his side, which she wanted so much.

It was much more scary and painful for her to hear Stay say that she didn’t like her than to not have Stay by her side.

“But… I can’t go back. I came this far. “I can’t leave without seeing Mr. Stay’s face.”

Still, it would be absurd for her to return to her own home.

For Mei Ruina, who felt so much loneliness and pain after realizing Stay’s absence for the past week, being away from her Stay was unthinkable.

“Then there is nothing we can do… I have no choice but to stay in this neighborhood for the time being and keep an eye on Mr. Stay’s movements. ······Mhihihi.”

Within a week, laughter came out of her mouth.

※

“Oh what. “Time has already passed like this?”

She manipulated the status windows of the machines as much as her energy allowed and practiced creating menus for the café, and before she knew it, the hour hand of the clock was pointing to 3 a.M.

Whether it was my ability to manipulate the status window or my talent, the results were so great every time I made coffee or anything else that I had so much fun making it that I lost track of time.

However, adequate sleep was still an essential element in human life, and perhaps because I was using my energy to strengthen the machines, I felt tired after recognizing the time.

“Hwaaaaam… Wow. “I should go quickly and get some sleep first.”

I’m going to collapse as soon as I get home.

I yawned from the overwhelming fatigue and cleaned up the café.

The opening will be held 3 weeks after the sign is installed, so it’s okay to postpone the cleaning for a while. All you have to do is turn off the lights and lock the door.

In fact, I was someone who only learned about café work through YouTube videos, so I was worried about whether I would be able to do it well until the moment I signed the contract.

However, after setting myself apart from other cafés through the power of the status window manipulation ability and succeeding in creating café menus with my natural dexterity, all my worries disappeared within a day.

The joy of growing myself, something I didn’t know when I was living as an awakened person who wanted to become a hero.

That joy made it so that a smile could not be erased from my face, even though I was so tired that I almost fainted the moment I lay down.

“What should I make tomorrow?”

Feeling the excitement for the next day deep in my heart, I realized that I was truly living my life for the first time in four years.

※

“Hwaaaaam. Wow… I feel sore.”

When I was working as an emergency room attendant, it was okay to sleep on the cheap mattress that came as an option in a studio apartment, but during the 40 days I worked as a caregiver for S-class people, my body developed bad habits.

“The bed in the night shift room in the special ward was really comfortable.”

The mattress I currently have in my studio apartment is much better than the one I used when I worked as a housekeeper in the emergency room, but there was no way my body could be satisfied with such a low-priced mattress since it had already learned the taste of a bed in an overnight room.

As a result of not forgetting the bed in the night room, I had no choice but to have a bad morning where I felt only a faint longing when I woke up.

“Will I ever be able to sleep in a bed that big again?”

It was definitely lower grade than what the S-class used, but the bed in the night room was also an artifact.

All furniture-type artifacts were made to order and had to be ordered from awakened people with special production characteristics, and as such, their prices were also beyond the reach of ordinary people’s dreams.

“······Let’s work hard.”

However, I believed in my talent as a barista, and so I was able to engrave in my heart the dream of running a café and purchasing bed-shaped artifacts.

“But isn’t one such artifact worth almost the price of a house? “How many cups of coffee do you have to sell to buy one bed?”

······Well, let’s forget about such realistic thoughts for a moment! If you sell hard, you will be able to buy it someday!

I tried to do a rough calculation for a moment, but it seemed like the estimate would be stronger than I imagined, so I shook my head, left only the thought of working hard in my head, and erased the rest of the useless thoughts, a.K.A. The number of coffees I would need to sell to buy the artifact.〈 Br〉

“Good! Let’s take a quick shower and go to work! “I’m practicing hard today too!”

Having gained good motivation, I quickly got off my feet and turned to go into the bathroom.

“······Hmm?”

At that moment, I was startled and turned my head, feeling a creepy chill as if something eerie was passing through my body in an instant.

The only things you can see are the windows with a clear view to the outside since it is on the 3rd floor and the villa built across from it.

I didn’t see anything special.

“What. “Is it because you’re tired?”

When you live alone, you are bound to have various misconceptions, so I just ignored this strange sensation, picked up a towel, and headed to the bathroom.

※

“Huh, huh. Well, I almost got caught…!”

Mei Ruina, the culprit who made him feel chills in the villa across from Stay’s studio, was hiding under her window, her body trembling as the thrill of her heart raced.

The fact that Saint May Ruina, the hero who saved the world, was acting like this was truly pathetic, even in her own opinion, but she was not ashamed at all.

She was a saint, and I felt painfully over the past week that it would be difficult to build up her pride.

“By the way, Mr. Stay’s superiority… Uhihi. I saw something perfect this morning. “I guess I’ll be lucky today, right?”

The past week of not being able to sleep and struggling in her loneliness turned Mei Rui into a perverted dog stalker who was faithful to her desires.

In fact, until she saw Stay, she thought she could control herself without crossing the line, but after seeing her in person, she realized how foolish that thought was. Br〉

The sight of Stay, whom I had longed to see with my own eyes during the 40 days she was in a vegetative state, after not seeing her for a week after being released from the curse, was enough of a shock in itself to shatter May Ruina’s social notions.

[Shooaaa- hmm heh, heh~]

“Hot?! Rinse out the shampoo! Mr. Stay with wet hair can’t stand this!”

The hearing of an S-class awakened person could very easily pick up the sound of a shower and humming coming from the villa opposite.

Mei Rui was so excited at the prospect of seeing Stay with her wet hair dripping water that she raised herself up like a meerkat under her window and focused all her attention on her vision to capture the exquisite view with her own eyes.
I focused.

Ugh-!

Her amber eyes, filled with her holy power, were strengthened to the point where even the fluff of her stay could be seen, and with a similar sense of duty to capture them in her videos, Mei Ruina raised the cannon camera she was holding in both hands and focused on her lens.
Contains the interior of a studio.

“Haha······. Oh, are you coming? Is Mr. Stay with wet hair coming…!?”

Wearing a black hoodie and pointing a pitch-black cannon camera at someone’s house, literally anyone who sees him can’t help but think he’s a perverted stalker.

“······Huh?”

Mei Rui, who had such a dangerous appearance, was waiting for Stay to come out of the bathroom when she suddenly saw something she shouldn’t have seen.

“······.”

This is Mir Ryuin, who lives next door to Stay, with his ears pressed against the wall on the side of Stay’s and his eyes closed, concentrating with all his attention.

“Wow… I’m so awake.”

Of course, this also applied to me.
