Chapter 16

"Let's hurry, I will carry Sophia-san and Henry-san will carry his wife Anya-san." I said then squatted down to prepare to carry Sophia.

Sophia saw me squatting then she looked at Anya and Henry then nodded and approached me.

"William-kun, are you strong enough to carry me?" Sophia asked worriedly.

"It's okay Sophia-san, just go up, I'm strong enough."

Hearing my words, Sophia then climbed on my back with a little worry.

When Sophia climbed on my back, I started to feel nauseous and felt like I was being ridden by a big cockroach with a bloated stomach.

I then endured the disgusting feeling and used [Body Enchanment] to strengthen my physique.

"Henry-san, let's hurry, follow me from behind," I said in cold sweat holding back the disgusting feeling.

I ran towards my secret path with Henry carrying Anya behind him.

Sophia, who felt my back wet with cold sweat and my face looking pale, asked worriedly.

"William-kun are you okay? Am I too heavy?"

"I'm fine. Sorry but I'm focusing on my magic, so please don't talk to me," I answered with a pale face.

"...."

'Ugh... I feel so dizzy and nauseous, because it's so disgusting, like carrying a pregnant cockroach. Ugh! This insolent curse!!' I thought running while carrying Sophia.

'Luckily my secret path isn't far from here.' I thought grinning and ran off rather hastily.

During the trip Sophia, Henry and Anya followed quietly without asking many questions.

Then I stopped next to the rock I placed above the entrance of my secret path. Then I kicked the rock in my haste and used Earth magic to widen the secret path.

"Come on this way," I said, entering my secret path and inviting Henry and Anya to follow.

Henry and Anya, who were a little surprised, were silent for a moment then quickly followed because I had quickly entered my secret path.

'Ugh I want to vomit....'

*Gulp*

'Uhhh..., I have to quickly take them to the nearest inn, I can barely stand this disgusting feeling anymore...' I thought then started running at a safe speed.

Then I left my secret path and headed straight towards the center of the village which had an inn with Henry and Anya following behind.

Near the Entrance of the Accommodation

"Here... we have arrived at one of the inns in the village, you can... stay here for... the... time."

I said breathlessly and with a pale face as I gently lowered Sophia who was on my back.

Sophia, Henry, and Anya who saw me pale-faced and panting asked worriedly.

"William-kun, are you okay? Your face is very pale."

"You're sweating a lot too."

"Yes, rest first at the inn."

"I...no...nothing, I...have to...go home soon," I answered breathlessly.

Then my vision became blurry then my legs became weak and I fell unconscious in front of the inn door.

(Throw 3)

Seeing William who was unconscious, Henry quickly caught William before he fell to the ground and checked his body condition.

"Henry!, How is William-kun's condition!?" Sophia asked worriedly.

"It looks like he's just tired," said Henry, who was carrying William.

"We should take him to a room first to rest," suggested Anya.

The four of them then entered the inn and headed to the reception desk.

"Hello, welcome to Inn Noir. How may I help you?" greeted the reception girl with a business smile.

"Hello, we want to rent 2 rooms with double beds for 4 people," said Henry.

"Good double bed for 4 or...."

When the reception girl was about to take the order, she saw William who was being carried, and then she looked at him warily and asked.

"That's William-kun, right? Why did he faint? Who are you?" asked the receptionist suspiciously.

William in Buena village is quite famous because he is the son of Paul who is famous as a handsome knight in the village and Zenith who is a healer in the village.

William himself often helped the villagers with his magic which made him famous as the 'Magical Girl' (everyone still thought he was a girl, even though he was actually a trapboy) in the village.

"We're not suspicious people, William-kun helped us show us the way, but it seems like he was tired and fainted, because we don't know his home address, we just wanted to rest him in his room and then find out where his parents are!" said Henry frantically explaining. his innocence.

"Yes, that's right, do you know where William-kun's house is?" Anya said defending her husband and asked where William was.

"Her house is quite far from here, but coincidentally William's mother Zenith is nearby treating a patient, I'll try to call her here to pick up William-kun," said the receptionist girl still with a skeptical expression.

The receptionist girl told one of the staff to call Zenith.

A few minutes later Zenith came in a hurry and had a worried expression.

Zenith thinks that William is a child who gets sick easily and is not as strong as Rudeus, who usually never gets sick and is always energetic.

William usually just sits at home in his room (recharging his magical energy) or just paints under his favorite big tree.

Then Zenith saw William, who had fainted with a pale face, being carried by Henry, so he quickly lunged at Henry and snatched William from Henry's arms.

William, who was fainting, was then carried by Zenith, his brows furrowed and he groaned slightly.

"Ugh...."

Zenith then took the cloth she brought in her bag when she came here, then covered William with the cloth and carried him again.

After being covered in it, William's face began to look a little brighter and more relieved.

After seeing William who had improved, Zenith then looked sharply at Henry, Anya, and Sophia.

"What did you do to my child!" Zenith shouted angrily at the three of them.

Henry who heard that panicked and answered.

"No!, we didn't do-"

"You're Zenith, right?" Sophia said, interrupting Henry's words.

"Eh...you...Princ-" said Zenith in surprise then Sophia covered her mouth.

"Shh" whispered Sophia.

Zenith who was silent Sophia understood what he meant then nodded.

Seeing Zenith who understood, Sophia smiled then said.

"Is this your child Zenith? Very beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yes, she is beautiful like her mother."

Zenith said proudly.

Zenith then looked at Sophia's pregnant belly and asked.

"Sophia...San, are you married too? Who is your partner?"

Hearing the question, Sophia, Henry, and Anya put on complicated faces.

"Zenith, aren't you coming home? William-kun seems very tired."

Sophia said changing the topic.

Hearing Sophia change the topic Zenith furrowed his brows.

"Yes, I'll say goodbye first, Princ- Akhem... Sophia-san..um"

"I'm Henry and this is my wife Anya."

Henry said introducing himself.

"Okay, Sophia-san, Henry-san, Anya-san, I'll say goodbye first, sorry if William is a bother."

Said Zenith bowing her body.

"Oh no! William-kun actually helped us."

Zenith heard that smiled and then left the inn for her house.

'There's something strange about Princess Sophia, why did she come all the way to this village which is so far from the Holy Kingdom, and even when she's pregnant...,' thought Zenith on her way home.

'Haaah.... I hope there won't be any problems in the village because of this.' thought Zenith while sighing, then Zenith saw William who was fast asleep in Zenith's arms.

'Why is he fainting so often lately?' thought Zenith looking at William with a worried expression.

Zenith always felt worried about William, because he was different from Rudeus, who rarely cried since he was little and was always energetic.

William always cries when someone touches him (because of disgust) and is always sickly (William is stunted because he rarely drank breast milk when he was little, so his antibodies were weak).

Even though Zenith looked like she was complaining, in fact she wasn't bothered by William at all.

Zenith probably likes Rudeus more because he is sweeter and funnier than William who is always quiet.

And if someone approached, his eyebrows would furrow and he would quickly maintain a natural distance.

Although he does not like to be close to someone, and likes to feel disgusted with someone, he does not reject the people around him and he will also help if he sees someone in trouble.

Because William knew that the problem of him feeling disgusted by the touch of living creatures had nothing to do with the people around him.

Even though it's like that, Zenith and Paul and the others are still like Rudeus' more because what?...because Rudeus is more active in communicating than William and Rudeus is more talented than William (yes, that's just William, he's low key).

Yes, the majority of family conflict problems come from a lack of communication....

(William POV)

I opened my eyes, I saw the roof that I usually see when I wake up.

"Haah, I think I fainted again..." I sighed wearily looking at this very familiar roof.

"Will-niisan wake up?" asked Rudeus who suddenly appeared in front of my face.

"Uwahh!" I was surprised and reflexively slapped Rudeus in the face.

*SLAP*

"Ouch, Will-niisan, why did you slap me!" shouted Rudeus angrily while stroking the part that was slapped.

"Sorry...Reflex?" I said apologetically in a questioning tone.

"Tch!, this is how you treat your sister who takes care of you?"

"Yes sorry." I answered in a lazy tone.

Ignoring Rudeus who was still staring angrily, I got up from my bed and went out of the room to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

When I was about to go downstairs I looked at Lilia's open door.

I saw Lilia, who was not wearing clothes, washing her body with warm water.

I saw that and immediately reprimanded Lilia.

"Lilia! You forgot to close the door!"

I scolded while closing my eyes. I closed the door to Lilia's room and quickly went down the stairs.

When I went down the stairs I heard the sound of the door opening again from Lilia's room.

Then below I saw Paul who was quite sweaty, it looked like he had just finished training.

"Oh Will, you're awake," said Paul seeing me coming down the stairs.

"Yeah, I'm thirsty, I want to get a drink first in the kitchen."

I said then headed towards the kitchen, and Paul seemed to go upstairs to his room.

At that moment I seemed to hear the sound of the door closing tightly?

And there's a sound like a mouse squeaking?

What's that sound?...

I asked while brewing tea.
