Backyard. 1

There was no sign of people when we reached the backyard.

And as I have expected, the neglected plants and trees provided just the right number of blinders for our cause.

I found a patch of grass and rolled Amelia onto it.

Though I deliberately weakened the power of my spell just to bind her in our battle, I cast a recovery spell just in case.

After that, Amelia seemed to start breathing more easily.

For assurance, I decided to apply some restraints in order for her not to run amok once she wakes up.

By that, I took out a large handkerchief from my pocket and tied her hands with it.

This way, I wouldn't have to worry about being counterattacked.

"Hey, how long are you planning to sleep?"

"Hnnnn, nnu..."

  I shook Amelia's shoulders and brought my face closer to hers to check her breathing.

Amelia moans as she woke up, before rolling her eyes at my face.
