He is going to make me faint once again

After Mimosa was dome healing Sekke, she sighed in relief and then looked at Sekke who was talking to Asta, Yuno, and the others for making excuses for not telling them that he was that injured.

She just smiled seeing Sekke a bit troubled by the other's worries. 'I don't remember all of it, but I still know that he was kind back then as well. Helping others without even being asked to.' thought Mimosa.

But soon her gaze fell on Sekke's body which wasn't covered by his clothes, and it was now that she realized that Sekke was lying bare-chested in front of her the entire time.

Her face started turning red and her vision started going hazy.

"Ah! Mimosa!" called Noelle as she saw her fellow royal stumbling a bit.

Hearing Noelle, Sekke turned towards the ginger head and saw her falling toward him. He opened his arms and caught the ginger head and looked at her with worry in his eyes.

'She hasn't lost too much mana? What happened to her all of a sudden?

"You alright Mimosa?" asked Sekke.

"Huh? Sekke-san?" asked Mimosa in surprise as she saw Sekke's face directly in front of her. She then noticed herself being held in his arms.

"Kyuu~" was all that came out of Mimosa's mouth as her head fell on Sekke'a chest and she fainted.

"...Umm."

Looking at Mimksa for a while Sekke looked toward the others asking what happened. He noticed that most of them were as confused as him, but both Noelle and Finral were giving him a stink eye.

"You idiot!!!" said Noelle as she slapped Sekke's shoulder who was unable to defend himself as he was holding Mimosa in his hands.

"What?!" asked Sekke genuinely confused by the sudden situation. But soon he realized something and looked towards Asta and thought, '...Someway or other this shorty chick magnet embarrassed her more than she can handle and she fainted.'

He sighed as he just scooted over a bit and laid Mimosa on the bed before getting off it. He then covered her with a sheet and asked, "Is there somewhere where I can get something to eat?"

Surprised by his unbotheredness about the sudden situation Noelle was a bit pissed at her fellow blond rookie.

But suddenly, both his and Asta's stomachs growled so loudly that it could be considered a bestial roar.

"We have been fighting for the whole night. So no doubt we will be hungry," said Sekke making the others understand where he was coming from but Noelle still felt a bit pissed at him.

"Oh! We can go to Rebecca's place!! She makes great food." said Asta with an excited tone making Noelle's attention immediately shift from Sekke to Asta as he praised some other girl.

-----------------

"...Why the hell am I the only one who is left behind? Wasn't I the hungry one?" muttered Sekke as he took a bit from a loaf of bread.

He sighed and looked toward Mimosa who was sleeping peacefully.

"If you are asking then, that shirt brat named Asta suggested for everyone to go and eat at someplace. The others left while you were changing your clothes leaving you behind with this unconscious girl. You felt it was wrong leaving the girl and just stood back." said Vritra.

'No need to remind me, I know what happened.'

"Who knew that the self-proclaimed dark lord is such a big softy," said Vritra.

'Well she healed me when I was injured, so leaving her behind alone was not something, someone as great as me could do.' replied Sekke as he just sat back on the chair and ate the bread that he had kept in his storage.

'Next time I will make sure to keep some of Charmy's dishes in my safe.' thought Sekke as he continued eating the bread.

"Better do that, after all, we need to go on a journey soon," said Vritra.

'Why and where?' asked Sekke in a confused tone.

"To improve your use of my sacred gear and incorporate your grimoire magic with my sacred gear too. And if possible....the balance breaker," said Vritra making the dark lord turn serious as well,

'True, I can surely use a training montage.' thought Sekke as he finished eating his bread and started making plans for his journey.

"Mm..."

Hearing the groan beside him, Sekke looked at the ginger head royal who somehow had hair on her face.

Sighing and then chuckling at the girl's action, Sekke moved the hair from her face and said, "Well ain't you a cute creature."

'Well, I never got to know whom Asta ended with at the end. Was it Noelle, Mimosa, or the most unexpected sister Lily? Or did the creator go out of his way and did a harem ending.' thought Sekke to himself not noticing the girl's ears which were bright red from embarrassment.

'Uwaa! I can't wake up now! How can Sekke-san say such embarrassing things?!?!' complained Mimosa who woke up when Sekke was fixing her hair.

But she snapped out of her thoughts when all of a sudden a sound came out of nowhere.

*Growl~*

"Looks like the bread wasn't enough," said Vritra.

Seeke sighed and said, "Can't leave her here." and looked towards Mimosa who was still pretending to be asleep.

Hearing his words Mimosa who was pretending to be asleep felt bad for making Sekke stay behind with her.

Deciding to stop her act, she slowly opened her eyes and then turned towards Sekke.

"Sekke-san?" asked Mimosa in a confused tone. She felt so glad that she was good at faking her expressions, 'Those noble gatherings were not such a waste.'

"Oh, Mimosa? Are you fine? You fainted all of a sudden after healing me." asked Sekke with a small smile feeling glad that he could finally go out and eat.

Unaware of his thoughts Mimosa just sat up and said, "Yeah, I am fine. Sorry for causing you trouble. Where are the others?"

"They all went out to eat. Or at least that was where they were heading to," replied Sekke.

"And you stayed behind?" asked Mimosa tilting her head a bit, if that growl was any sort of indication then even the boy in front of her was hungry as well.

"Well, I felt like leaving you behind all alone was not a good idea. So I stayed behind," said Sekke as he looked at the ginger head.

Mimosa turned silent and just blinked her eyes in surprise before she looked away to hide her embarrassment.

She held her hand over her chest and felt her heart pounding faster.

'What should I do?! He is going to make me faint once again!!!' thought Mimosa as she felt both happy and angry at Sekke.
