ACIEL'S DIARY : INDIGO
SHEET 4.5: TROUBLESOME AND UNREASONABLE

After dealing with some troublesome things like Ella beating my face unconscious and waking up from the UKS with Mona apologizing so many times, I was finally able to go home.

Because of that obstacle, I came home half an hour later than usual.

The master will directly come over to my shoulder after I exit the school gate but I did not find it for now and went home alone.

It's been a long time since I last went home alone like this ... No, not too long either. It hasn't even been a month since I met the Master in the forest.

"The cat will return tonight drunk. It's still daytime so maybe I can do some things to fill the time? But Master has asked me to go straight home so I have to keep it."

Well, I can clean the shed while spending time and do some homework faster than usual. At least Aunt An won't nag anymore.

"Geez, this is a little boring."

Walking through the empty streets, with no one on it, I returned home. Starting with cleaning the warehouse, drying the folding mattress and tidying up the school tools, I finished all the work in about two hours.

Then after making sure nothing was left behind, I went straight to the house of Sena clan and helped them like cleaning the house by sweeping and mopping, cleaning the toilet, cleaning the toilet, wash dishes and prepare menus for the night tomb.

It only took two hours to finish that as well.

Not felt, the sun began to set.

Because today the Sena family is going to have dinner outside like they don't need the side dishes that I've prepared and asked me to eat them all to the end.

It's a little painful but there's nothing I can do about it. My stomach will be full anyway, I don't have to complain.

The moon was already starting to shine brighter as I prepared the bed and planned to rest the body. And at that moment, a loud bang came from the door of the warehouse.

At first I thought that it was Aunt An but the blow that person made was always rowdy, in contrast to the slow blow that currently sounded. I approached carefully and opened it.

What was there was something black and swaying and then with his small body, he fell to the side. His body convulsed for a while and stopped moving.

"Ughb ... My head hurts ... Please help me ... Aciel, I will die ... Give me water ... Hurry ... Urghhc ... That damn bear ... Really late ... I will not accept ... Invitation ... More ..."

"Master, you got drunk this bad. Try to hold back a little."

"Whispering ... Hurry ... I cannot stand lag—Urghh!! Bwerrgh!!!"

"Oi!! How dare you puke in front of the warehouse I live in?! Stop that!! The master!! Ah, dammit!! Hold for a moment!! I'll get some water!!" soon!!"

After doing some troublesome things at night like cleaning up the cat's vomit and watering it, I immediately laid the limp Master on the bed.

Massaging his stomach and feet slowly, drinking water and fanning some parts of his body alternately.

"Master, are you doing well?"

"Ah? Yes ... It's a little bit comfortable ... Continue ..."

The master turned his body in another direction, I immediately flipped it back.

"Don't face there or you'll throw up again. Geez, this is really troublesome. It could be that a high-level spirit like you makes the person you have to protect do this. Master, don't you have to evaluate yourself?"

"Hmhh ... Noisy ... Stupid boy ..."

In the end I had to sleep with a drunken cat that gave off a pungent wine scent on every grain of its fur beside me. I prepared myself to sleep comfortably alone.

Geez, this cat really can't let me relax for a while, either I should be happy or annoyed with it. Well, he's protected me a couple of times.

"Maybe the results are a little balanced? Or lean more toward me who sacrifices more?"

"Mhmm? Aciel, did you say anything?"

"No, it's nothing. I'm sleepy so don't talk to me."

Well, whatever it is I don't have to think about it too much. At least right now I think of it as something that should not be disputed.

That alone is more than enough.

Tomorrow.

Because the journey would be quite long towards the mountains, we were required to leave a little earlier than usual. When the clock hit the five in the morning, I had already lifted my foot from the warehouse.

I've finished every single thing for the morning preparations so there won't be any chance for Aunt An to protest. And for Brian, the piglet belongs to a special class so he won't be taking this Study Tour session.

Although he was just a child with a body that resembled a pig so-called, at least his value was quite high. Even though it still exists at two levels below the value I have.

Seeing me take a trip for this vacation must have made Brian feel envious, he kept making fun of me from last night for something I didn't know and to be honest it all pissed me off.

I'll make sure to get back at the piglet before moving out of this house.

"Oi stupid boy, why are you smiling yourself like that? Disgusting."

"Huh?"

On the way to school, I heard a familiar voice, and it made my heart beat faster.

Don't-don't ... Not likely.

I immediately ascertained the source and opened the large bag I was carrying on my hand, then saw a cat leaping from there. The master sat on my shoulder.

"Master? Why are you here ... No, why are you following me secretly? Enter like that into a bag ... It just feels so heavy. Master, can you go back home? Master knows that today I have an observation assignment, right? I told you anyway."

"Of course I know, that's exactly why I followed you. You said it was in the middle of the woods and mountains, right? Has your little brain forgotten what mountains and forests look like? There'll be a lot of spirits after you."

"Yes, I know that. But lately I've been training my ability to control the flow of Energy and be able to use it as a restraint for movement in the Spirit. Even high-level Spirits like Vips can at least I can bear to—aduh!! Why did you slap my cheek?!'

"Bas stupid, big head just because it can resist the movement of the snake? Aciel, didn't I tell you before? Vips were classified into high-level Spirits because of the eye abilities he had. In the end, his endurance was only slightly higher than medium-level Spirits in general."

"Eh? So what does that mean?"

Master clicked his tongue and slapped my cheek once more.

"The bottom line is, you need me as a guard. Do you understand? That's all and I won't say anything. Never mind, walk fast or you'll be left behind by the bus."

This cat is completely unreasonable, all the reasons are very uneven and labile. How could I possibly believe all that, right? Are all high-level Spirits really like this?

The bear and the snake still seemed to be more mending than Master. Then for Ebi, he was quite friendly to me. So it's just the Master who's acting this senseless, huh?

Really, really hard to handle.

But—

"Master, don't sit on my shoulder. At least hide in the bag until I get to the mountain. I'll get you out after that."

"Huh?! How could I possibly continue waiting inside that narrow and stuffy bag, right?!

"What can you do, right?! You will be thrown away if the teachers know where you are on the bus!! Hurry up, go inside and shut up!! I'll open a little gap to breathe!!"

Although I don't know if the Spirit really needs it.

"Guhh—!! Fucking boy!! How dare you!!"
