My Childhood Friends Who I Thought Abandoned Me Are Obsessed With Me

5. How is it, is it better?

Episode 5. How is it, is it better?

Then about ten people were brought in on stretchers.

The smell of blood vibrated the space.

People were all brutally injured.

Moans mixed with anguish erupted here and there.

“Damn it.”

Tail moved straight toward the injured.

Other workers then followed the tail.

He looked quite used to laying patients down and taking care of them.

Chloe, who was left alone and watched the situation, froze as it was.

My heart thumped violently and my ears rang strongly.

The cozy space I had just been in had become hell before I knew it.

A voice mixed with pain, a voice crying out for help, and the voice of a colleague crying for help.

Everything was mixed and Chloe’s mind was confused.

My hands trembled at the stark reality.

‘What am I looking at right now?’

Was this real?

Until now, I was laughing at myself for whining about missing my father.

They must fight fiercely at the bottom and survive day by day.

It was only now that he realized that his worries were too light.

Just as Chloe was frozen, a man who was applying acupressure to his colleague’s wounds shouted at Chloe.

“There! Don’t stand still and bring me a bucket of holy water!”

“Yes… yes?”

Bewildered, Chloe unknowingly moved to get the holy water bottle.

Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to find because Tail told me the room where the Holy Water Bottles were.

She vigorously lifted a bucket full of bottles of holy water and walked quickly.

Kung kung kung kung.

I couldn’t calm down easily in the situation that kept flickering in front of my eyes.

Her hands trembled indiscriminately and her steps staggered from using her immobilized legs.

And as she was almost there, Chloe’s eyes widened as she checked her bucket.

“What!”

Bottles hit her bucket and all her stoppers came off.

In the end, all the Holy Beasts came out and got mixed up.

“Uh… oh my god… !”

She tried to be helpful, but she wasn’t helpful.

On the contrary, it was more ruined.

At that time.

“s*xy water! Did you bring it?”

The man who was tending to her patient and had asked her to bring her bottle of holy water hurriedly snatched her bucket from her hand.

And I was surprised to see the bucket.

“What! The Holy Beasts are all mixed!”

At his cry, the eyes of the people around him instantly gathered.

Chloe bit her lip.

I have to apologize.

‘I have to apologize.’

She forced her hardened mouth open.

“Sin… sorry….”

It was then.

Someone stood in front of her.

“I told you to pour out all the holy water.”

It was a tail.

The man looked up and down the tail.

The man who saw him in the monk’s uniform of the monastery lost his spirit.

“You said to pour all the holy water?”

The man gave a slightly distrustful expression, but Tails continued slowly.

“Yes. Because it’s more convenient for me to write. First of all, time is running out, so I will start treatment.”

After saying that, Tail took out the towel he had brought earlier and soaked it in the bucket.

Then he tapped the injured person’s body.

Hwaaah-!

Then the wounds on the body of the injured person disappeared one by one.

At the broken place, more holy water was needed, so I put a towel soaked in holy water so that the bones were aligned and the holy water was soaked.

Chloe’s eyes widened in surprise.

It was the first time seeing Tail.

I usually showed a serious side in front of Chloe, but now it was a really professional force.

Chloe, who was watching him treat one person diligently while concentrating, took her eyes off her and moved slowly.

After that, Tail looked around and said.

“You did a good job stopping the bleeding. The remaining wounds will now heal naturally.”

At Tail’s words, the man hurriedly lowered his head.

“Fish oil. Thank you.”

“No. Thanks for your efforts.”

Tails turned his head to find Chloe, but she was nowhere to be seen.

‘Oh my God.’

Tails crinkled her face slightly.

‘Looking at the situation earlier, it seems that he was quite shocked.’

Well, what would a princess who grew up in a noble way know?

You’ve never seen such an emergency and naked situation before.

If I had to say blood, it would have been about the size of a cut on paper.

“Fu. Let’s go.”

Now that it has happened like this, we need to be careful not to drop coins.

Thinking so, Tails moved her steps accustomedly.

There was a place that the princess, who recently came here, went whenever her heart felt blue.

It was a place with a quiet atmosphere, with a large old tree nestled on a small hill.

The distance wasn’t far, but it was connected to the back of the building, so people didn’t go there often.

Of course, having seen Chloe go once before, Tails was able to find the place without difficulty.

I saw a large old tree in the distance before I knew it.

I saw a small girl under a coolly stretched tree.

It was Chloe.

She crouched down and buried her face in her lap.

*

Tails slowly approached and she sat down next to Chloe.

And she said nothing.

The first thing a psychiatrist does is listen to the story.

I had to be careful not to open my mouth before I could even speak to her as an advice.

So, Tails waited patiently for her to calm down.

There was silence.

Only the sound of the wind filled the space, and the fragrant smell of spring brushed her nose.

And how long has it passed?

Chloe opened her mouth slowly.

“Mr. Tail.”

She heard herself calling in a small voice.

“Yes. Chloe.”

At Tail’s answer, Chloe muttered.

“Sorry….”

Tale didn’t answer.

Meanwhile, Chloe continued her words.

“I wanted to do well. But I don’t think I can.”

Her own life had to be perfect.

Even small mistakes were not tolerated.

She’s like that, but she herself has caused a lot of trouble to others this time.

She hated herself for that.

No, she was afraid that she would be hated for this mistake again.

In the past, the words she had stopped talking to herself had choked her throat.

“The princess. If the princess misses, it all goes back to the people. Keep that in mind.”

The words of the nanny that she always asked for.

“Again? Are you really aware that you are a princess?!”

He is usually kind, but when he makes a mistake, his father shoots him sharply.

“This is just an excuse. Properly. Please do it right.”

A mother who gets cold whenever she makes a mistake.

She said that she must be perfect.

I had to walk a tightrope while recognizing that there were always people under me.

He said he wanted to do well.

I wanted to shout that I didn’t want to make a mistake.

However, these echoes only resonated inside and did not reach anywhere.

Suddenly, ‘Chloe’ disappeared and only ‘Princess Chloe’ remained.

Power filled Chloe’s hands that held her knee.

‘I am full of mistakes.’

With that thought, Chloe fell deeper and deeper into the Black Sea.

‘Everyone hates me.’

By the time she was falling deeper and deeper.

“Chloe.”

I heard a warm voice.

“Would you give me her hand.”

He didn’t even hear her answer and took her hand.

And that was then.

The bright light broke through the darkness.

This warm and comfortable feeling was the same as when Tails prayed for you every night.

Her strength was grabbing herself as she was falling down and pulling her up.

“Chloe.”

It was then that Tail cautiously opened his mouth.

“Each person has their own role.”

Tail continued to hold Chloe’s hand as she spoke.

“Just as I take care of others, Chloe-sama has her own status and position.”

It felt that her prayers were over, but somehow Chloe couldn’t shake off the warmth of her hand.

“And. What if you can’t do it? If you’re going to be that perfect, you have to be a god.”

Every single word from Tails entered deep into my heart.

“So it’s okay. Everyone makes mistakes and has difficult days. That’s why Chloe-sama is different and not bad.”

Everyone is like that.

I am not the problem.

Too bad, this child was telling himself what he wanted to hear even once.

Suddenly, Chloe realized that she was coming out of the black and dark sea, following her hand that held her.

Her hands are really hard.

Because you’re so trustworthy.

I felt like I would never sink deeper into darkness again.

Chloe slowly raised her head.

The world out of the dark sea was beautiful.

The clear sky, the rustling blades of grass, and the sweet scent of flowers.

The warm sunbeams and the warmth you still feel in your hands.

Everything felt like a dream in an instant.

“How are you? Is it better?”

Seeing Tail’s grinning face, Chloe laughed along with her tears.

“Yes.”

* * *

After a few days like that.

Chloe has noticeably improved.

Tale looked at Chloe, who was chatting with people from the side.

The ruddy cheeks, the bright smile, and the beautifully folded eyes were still the same, but the tail could be seen.

That her heart was definitely lighter.
