"My disciple, don't die on me! It's my fault. I accidentally broke the control panel. You mustn't get hurt!"
【Tsk, as expected, it's easy to fool a foolish master. It's worth smearing all this blood on my clothes!】
【I guess that's the limit of Master's intelligence. So, what should I ask for? Under these circumstances, Master Nanako would probably agree to anything, right?】
【A back rub, foot massage, shoulder squeeze? Or two weeks of idling? Or perhaps... Yeesh, Lynn, you're really shameless, even thinking about pushing your master down!】
His inner voice echoed.
Nanako's expression instantly froze on the spot.
"......"
"......"
Lynn finally opened his eyes weakly, stretching out a trembling hand, and shakily grabbed Nanako's sleeve.
His lips were chapped, like a patient about to take his last breath, he weakly asked:
"Master... am I... still alive..."
His voice was so shaky.
As if it carried an unparalleled longing for life!!
With an insatiable desire to survive!!
【Damn! That was awesome! Lynn, your acting is unbeatable!】
【You're so good, does your mom know?!】
【You could totally act in a movie! (๑＞︶＜)و】
Nanako looked blankly at the haggard and dying figure of her disciple in her arms, and listened to the narcissistic inner voice of her disciple in her mind.
So...
This guy...
Clearly, there's nothing wrong with him!!
Nanako was about to go crazy.
If it weren't for her ability to hear his inner voice, she might have really been fooled by his acting!
If he were really so weak that he was about to die, where would he have so much narcissistic mental activity!
And moreover, he was even considering how to play the victim and make demands of his own master...
Damn it!!
"Yes! You're still alive!" Nanako, resisting the urge to beat him up, ground her teeth and said.
"And you're perfectly fine!"
Lynn weakly nestled his head into Nanako's bosom, grabbed her hand and murmured:
"Is that so... that's great, Master. As long as I'm alive, I can continue to stay by your side..."
"I really don't want to leave you..."
The emotion in his voice was so sincere.
Anyone who heard it would be moved to tears.
Even Nanako, who could hear his inner voice, was almost moved by this sentence.
【Yeesh! My skills have improved! I can say such cheesy lines without blushing or feeling awkward!】
【I'm so strong!】
【Master is a hundred-year-old loli, but after all, she's still a loli. Hearing such affectionate words from her disciple, she should be moved to tears, right?】
【Hehehe —— it seems this affection is going to keep growing!】
Nanako: "???"
"......"
"......"
So...
Why did you let me hear your inner voice!!
Nanako went crazy, pulling at her twin tails.
"Can't you let me feel moved for a bit?! Why do you always have to think of such chaotic things that ruin the mood?!
And what's with the 'century-old loli'...
Don't just casually use such chaotic nicknames!
Nanako's eyes twitched furiously, she gritted her teeth and said:
"Since you still have the strength to talk, there should be no major issues. But, your master is really curious, with so many demons and magic beasts, how did they not kill you?”
Lynn lay despondently in Nanako's arms, weakly saying:
"Because... I am too weak, they didn't think much of me, and soon they started fighting among themselves, they were busy with the melee, which allowed me to luckily escape with my life..."
【Of course not!】
【The blood was smeared by me, the injuries were self-inflicted, and their infighting was also instigated by me~~】
【Even a king-rank magic beast wasn't there, and they wanted to hurt me? This is simply a joke, there wasn't a single one who could fight.】
【Of course, loli master is so stupid, she definitely wouldn't be able to figure it out, after all, with a small body, the brain capacity wouldn't be much either~】
【Speaking of which, if master heard my thoughts, she would definitely be very angry, wouldn't she? (～￣▽￣)～ Hahahaha!】
Nanako: "???!!!"
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath.
Tried hard to think of other things.
Don't mind the thoughts of the disciple...
But...
Damn it!
She still wanted to hit him!
This bastard!
Nanako turned her head, tried hard to calm down, then looked towards the high-rank terrifying magic beasts deep in the trial field.
Seeing those magic beasts from such a close distance, even she felt a bit nervous.
If she tried hard to forget the disciple's honeyed self-love...
Being able to easily subdue so many high-level magic beasts, this was enough to prove his strength.
If she really speculated according to what she thought...
Her damn disciple might be stronger than all seven of their stewards combined!
But...
The vein on her temple throbbed furiously.
Such a terrible personality, it really made people want to get angry!!
...
Soon, those high-rank magic beasts were subdued and restrained by the magicians brought by Nanako.
A magician walked over and reported seriously:
"Reporting to Steward Nanako, all the magic beasts have been subdued,"
"We interrogated a few demons, and it is indeed as your disciple said, they did start fighting among themselves, which led them to kill each other, and they had no time to deal with your disciple. Your disciple is indeed very lucky!"
【Hehe, of course, the strength is here, which guy dares to talk nonsense, isn't it obvious?】
【And to be on the safe side, I also cast a silence spell on them, things that shouldn't be said, naturally, they can't utter a word!】
She looked at the extremely weak disciple in her arms, who was still coughing non-stop, and listened to his arrogant inner voice.
Nanako clenched her fist, gritted her teeth and said: "I see! You all can go now!"
The magician looked at Lynn sympathetically, then whispered:
"Lady Nanako, your disciple is severely injured. Should we take him to the church for recuperation? A very talented young lady priest just arrived recently. If she helps, he should recover quickly!"
Lynn's eyes lit up at this suggestion.
However, under Nanako's instant gaze, Lynn became weak and powerless.
He sighed, "That... would be wonderful... After a quick recovery, I have many things to learn from my master. I want to become a powerful magician like her... I need to work even harder..."
Such sincere and touching words brought tears to the eyes of the magicians around him.
One of them wiped the moisture from his eyes, saying, "Lady Nanako, having such a disciple who loves to learn and always strives to improve is truly a wonderful thing!"
The surrounding magicians nodded in agreement.
Seeing the teary-eyed magicians around her, Nanako, who knew the truth, was almost fainting with anger.
She suppressed her explosive emotions, took a deep breath, and gritted her teeth, "Yes, I also think it's a wonderful thing. So, after recovery, practicing for twenty-three hours a day, leaving one hour for sleeping and eating, my disciple should be willing to accept it, right?"
Lynn's expression instantly froze.
