Violet Manor
[Squeak, squeak, squeak.]
Phew, I've finally arrived in front of the room I was looking for. Strangely enough, it feels more nerve-wracking than dungeon exploration, perhaps because it's darker here than in the dungeons.
The room's door is made of wood, but it's not that solid. It seems made of plywood, and the veneer has peeled off over the years.
Hmm, it's taken this long to think about it, but I'm starting to have my doubts if Nina-san is really behind that door.
[Cough, cough.]
While pondering this, I heard a cough from the other side of the door. It appears that there really is no mistake about this being the right place.
[Knock, knock, knock!]
"Nina-san, I've co to visit."
I called out, and there was a movent behind the door. Soon, it clicked open.
"(Cough, cough, cough!) Ah are you okay Nina-san!?"
Nina-san, with a mask and a disheveled appearance, appeared from behind the door. But when she saw the turtle in my hand, she was startled and had a significant coughing fit. Sorry, it seems I've frightened her.
Well, that's understandable. If I opened my front door and found a muscular guy standing there with a turtle, I'd be surprised.
"Why did you bring a turtle to my house? Cough, cough!"
It seed speaking was difficult for her, and Nina-san glared at with tears.
Oops, I got carried away. It's not sothing you'd expect a guy bringing a turtle as a get-well gift for a girl with a cold. Who even thinks of that? Well, it's . I'm sorry.
"No, I'm sorry This guy is a soft-shelled turtle, so I thought it's good Nina-san, who has a cold."
"Kohoho koho! Oh, really? Co on up for now."
Nina-san urged to enter the door.
A small entrance mat is laid out in the wooden entryway, and a steel shoe stand and umbrella stand are by the wall on the left. To the right is the kitchen, and the bathroom and toilet are probably behind the left wall, according to the floor plan.
Anyway, what should I do with this turtle? Well, let's just put it in the sink for now.
[Kasha! Kasha!]
The snapping turtle is so energetically trying to escape that it's wracking the sink with its claws and making woozy! I asked Nina-san to let fill the sink with water, and the rampaging turtle finally cald down.
"Phew No, wait Nina-san. I brought you so relief supplies."
He put down the backpack he was carrying and took out the contents in order.
"Here's a bunch of stuffKoochi, ookini koho! Coho!"
"Thanks. So, Nina-san, how are you feeling?"
Nina-san nodded and gestured that her throat was swollen. Her voice sounded really hoarse, and it was different from her usual lodious voice.
With that, Nina-san went back to the futon that was laid out. It looked like she was struggling with her cold.
The room is a Japanese 6-mat tatami room, and surprisingly, the window sashes are wooden, not aluminum. The walls are extrely white, but it seems soone painted over sothing like plaster or during a renovation.
The room's light is a string-pull one. It feels like a typical Showa-era apartnt. Well, it might be more like a dorm room than an apartnt.
(I see. With this setup, it's no wonder Nina-san can't invite boys to her room. The difference between her usual self is quite striking.)
The room's furnishings are minimal. There's one old round table that looks like it could tip over any mont.
The only other thing in the room is a two-tiered storage box with a bunch of books and notebooks for college use.
(Nina-san's room seems to have very few things)
Serai-san's room had a large bed and a dresser, giving the impression of a modern college girl's room. There was a TV and an expensive-looking hair dryer lying around. So, Nina-san's room didn't quite look like a typical modern college girl's room.
By the way, Ruu's room was filled with lots of stuffed animals, a very girly room. Her study desk also seed to have been there since her elentary school days, giving off the vibe of a room belonging to a girl living with her parents.
In Nina-san's room, there was a triangular rack attached to the corner of the long drawer, and a long dress-like garnt was hanging down there with a cloth cover. But that's about the only thing that looks like a girl's room.
(Cough! Cough!)
Oops, I was looking around the room so much that I made Nina-san cough again. My apologies.
"Here, Nina-san, would you like to take so cold dicine? I'm boiling so hot water now. Ginger tea is good for a cold."
While borrowing the kitchen to boil water, I asked Nina-san if she was hungry, to which she replied with a big nod. Apparently, her cold was so bad that she could not cook a proper al. There were dishes in the sink that looked like they had been soaked in a tub of water a long ti ago.
Alright, it's your turn now, Turtle-san. We'll appreciate your existence and share you with Nina-san and .
