Chapter 193
‘… Eh?’
I felt the soft touch of his squishy cheek. Even though other parts of him had grown quickly and became firm, his cheeks were still soft and squishy, not forgetting his youthful age.
‘But why am I suddenly holding Tev's cheek like this?’
As I wondered, Tev, who created this situation, whispered with his eyes closed, "Praise me."
"… For what?"
"I endured and received treatment. I felt like I was going crazy with worry. Not knowing where you are, what situation you're in, if you're safe. I wanted to run out."
His restrained voice took a momentary deep breath and then continued, "But you gave me an order, my lady. You told me to stay put, receive treatment, and wait. So I endured."
"…"
"So," Tev rubbed his face against my hand and repeated the same words, "Praise me."
"Uh…"
Like someone who had lost their words, I just made a dumbfounded sound.
'Why is Tev... acting like this?'
