"Ane?" Lawrend called out to her as he groggily opened his eyes.
He saw Ane sitting on the bed beside him. She had her hood down, and he could see her cute cat ears.
"Nyaa! Are you okay? Do you feel any pain?" Ane asked Lawrend worriedly.
"I'm fine. I just feel a little tired and out of mana," Lawrend said to her with a smile.
"That's a relief…"
Ane breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did we already arrive at the town?" Lawrend asked her as he looked around the room.
"Yes. We arrived several hours ago."
Ane nodded her head.
"Huh, how long was I asleep?" Lawrend asked her a little confused.
"The whole day. It's almost nightti outside," Ane replied.
"How did you guys get here so fast?" Lawrend asked her in confusion.
"Your instructor flew us here," Ane replied.
"Mr. Joseph! Where is he!?" Lawrend exclaid as he rembered Joseph.
"He is in the other room," Ane replied.
"I want to see him," Lawrend said to her as he stood up from the bed. He wanted to know the reason why he was there.
"Wait, Lawrend!"
Ane stood up and stopped him.
"What is it?" Lawrend asked her with furrowed eyebrows.
"You need to rest first," Ane replied with a serious look on her face.
"I can already walk," Lawrend said to her and shook his head.
"You still aren't fully rested."
Ane made an X with her arms.
Lawrend stared into Ane's eyes. He could see worry and concern inside those eyes.
"Okay. Fine," Lawrend said to her and gave up. He laid back down on the bed.
"I will go get food for you, okay?" Ane said to him with a smile.
"Sure."
Lawrend nodded his head.
Ane smiled happily, and her tail zig-zagged joyfully. She hooded her head, opened the door, and left the room.
"Sigh… It feels like she's already my maid," Lawrend sighed.
Lawrend waited for 5 minutes before Ane ca back. She entered the room while carrying a tray filled with food.
There was a piping hot bowl of congee, a salad plate, and a glass of water.
"Lawrend!"
Nuon suddenly entered the room. He looked at Lawrend with joy on his face.
"You're awake now!" Nuon shouted joyfully.
Lawrend smiled at him, seeing his happiness for his well-being.
"Ane…"
Nuon noticed Ane and turned his head to the tray she was carrying. He looked at her face and at Lawrend before biting his lips bitterly.
"I-I'm going now," Nuon said to them. He turned around and left the room.
"..."
Lawrend and Ane stared at the closed door silently. Lawrend could guess what was going through Nuon's head when he saw him look at Ane carrying the tray of food.
"What's wrong with him?" Ane asked Lawrend with furrowed eyebrows.
"Ignore him. He will accept it later," Lawrend replied.
"Okay. Anyways, I will feed you, Lawrend," Ane said to him with a pure smile on her face. She had already thrown Nuon to the back of her mind.
Lawrend nodded his head at her.
Ane walked towards him and placed the tray on the bedside table. She lifted the piping hot bowl of congee and sat on the bed.
"Co closer, Lawrend," Ane said to him with serious care in her eyes. She was in caretaking mode. A mode she only uses for her little sister.
Listening to her words, Lawrend sat up and moved closer to her.
Ane took a spoonful of congee and blew on it, "Fuuu~ Fuuu~ Fuuu~"
"Say ah~"
Ane moved the spoon closer to Lawrend's mouth. In response, he opened his mouth, and she spoonfed him.
Lawrend felt like a little brother she was babysitting. She exudes that big sister vibe. As expected of Feli's Elder Sister.
Ane continued spoon-feeding Lawrend with congee till the bowl was empty.
"Done!" Ane exclaid happily.
She placed the empty bowl back on the tray before picking up the glass of water.
She moved it to Lawrend's lips and slowly lifted it up with both of her hands to help him drink.
She stopped when Lawrend drank halfway.
"*Gulp* Thank you, Ane," Lawrend gulped and said to her with a smile.
Even though he could do all of this without her help, he allowed her to have her fun. Besides, it wasn't that bad to be fed like this. He felt like a king.
"Nyaa! You should eat greens too, Lawrend," Ane said to him joyfully.
"Why don't you call 'Master' for the duration?" Lawrend proposed to her with a cheeky grin on his face.
"Master..?"
Ane tilted her head in confusion.
"This is what maids do to their masters. They feed them like this," Lawrend explained to her.
"Okay. I will try," Ane nodded her head solemnly.
"Here, Master. Eat this cabbage."
Ane fed a piece of cabbage into Lawrend's mouth.
Munch Munch Munch
Lawrend chewed it before swallowing it. She continued feeding him like he was her pet caterpillar until the plate was empty.
"That's all, Master," Ane said to him with a smile.
"I'm full. I will take a nap," Lawrend said to her as he slowly laid down on the bed.
"You can't do that, Master! You just ate."
Ane stopped Lawrend. She used her hands to keep him from laying down.
"Okay. Okay."
Lawrend nodded his head in defeat. She was taking care of him so well that he was starting to feel like a child.
"Wait for a few hours, Master. Or you can sleep while sitting," Ane said to him.
"I understand."
Lawrend nodded his head in response. He used his pillow to support his back as he closed his eyes while sitting.
The food plus his low mana reserves slowly made Lawrend drowsy until he fell asleep.
"Nyaa… That was fun, Master."
Ane smiled faintly seeing Lawrend's sleeping face. She moved him to the side a little bit before she snuggled beside him on the bed.
Her hands clasped Lawrend's hand. She stuck close to him, and they exchanged body heat with each other.
Feeling the comfortable feeling of Lawrend's company, Ane soon fell asleep with a satisfied smile on her face.
