Shirou, in his extreme confusion, blurted out random words. He didn't know how to handle the situation and could only try to ease the awkwardness with words.
But he quickly realized what absurd things he had said.
Oh no! Did I say something terrible? Didn't that sentence imply that I saw Miss Roxy doing that kind of thing? Now I can't even pretend I didn't see it!
Shirou felt helpless. He never expected that he would act so inappropriately because of excessive confusion.
Now even an apology might not be accepted?
But the question is, how do normal people deal with this kind of thing?
Speaking of which, do normal people even encounter seeing a female acquaintance doing that thing?
Even the most experienced handsome guy or relationship master from Ikebukuro wouldn't be able to teach someone how to deal with this...
What should I do at this moment?
Just smile?
Or should I just say, "Good job"?
No, no, no, what is she doing a good job at...?
In his overly confused state, Shirou's heart grew numb, and he gradually began to head toward self-abandonment, on the verge of collapse.
At the same time, when Roxy saw Shirou and heard what he said, she froze as if struck by lightning.
But her mind didn't seem to be greatly impacted, or rather, because she had suffered too much shock, she briefly entered a frozen, rebooting state.
After a while, Roxy finally returned to normal. She smiled as usual and said slowly:
"Oh, isn't this Shirou... Why aren't you asleep so late? Me? I'm just wandering around here, that's right, just wandering around, goodbye."
Roxy's expression was surprisingly calm. Although her words clearly lacked logic, she at least appeared as calm as usual on the surface.
"Ah, um, okay, good job."
Shirou nodded in the atmosphere, and accidentally said the words he had just thought of.
"G-Good job?"
Veins popped out on Roxy's forehead. She clearly just using her brain to resist remembering what had just happened. She wasn't really forgetting it.
Shirou quickly said, "S-Sorry, I didn't say anything."
"Okay."
Roxy nodded calmly on the surface. She seemed to have entered a kind of wise state, and continued to walk toward the bathroom with a cold expression.
At this moment, Shirou just wanted to leave as soon as possible, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Roxy's lower body, because there were drops of water on the floor.
Although he only glanced unintentionally, Roxy looked at him like a frightened bird and said with a threatening look, "What are you looking at?!"
"Uh, no, I, I..."
"It's so late, shouldn't you go back to sleep?"
Hearing Roxy's kind reminder, Shirou finally realized what he should do now, and quickly nodded, "Yes, it's so late, I should go to sleep. Sorry, I just happened to run to the second floor, it was just a coincidence, just a coincidence, I didn't mean to peep..."
"..."
"..."
Although Roxy had a calm expression on her face, Shirou felt a strange killing intent from her soft face.
"I'll go first."
So, he left without the slightest hesitation and walked towards the stairs.
As he walked down the stairs, he sighed in relief, feeling that everything that had just happened was even more terrifying than fighting Angelica with the Gilgamesh cards.
The overwhelming tension almost suffocated him...
Speaking of which, Roxy was very calm just now. Is this the strength of a so-called mature woman?
But in reality, Roxy doesn't look mature at all, and would a mature woman peek into Paul and Zenith's room and do that thing outside the door?
Shirou's heart was shaken, and he couldn't imagine how he would face Roxy tomorrow.
At least he was about to completely lose his mind and didn't know what to do.
At the same time, Roxy, who had entered the bathroom, after a brief moment of calm, her eyes were devoured by a whirlpool, and she completely fell into chaos.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable!!!! Nightmare, this must be a nightmare! It will definitely be over when I wake up tomorrow morning! That's right, otherwise it doesn't make sense. If it's not a nightmare, how am I supposed to face Shirou afterwards!!!"
Roxy squatted on the toilet, looking at her wet underwear, her heart completely broken.
Since leaving the demon tribe's village and going to the human world to explore, she had experienced countless crises, big and small, but none had brought more shaking than this one.
Or rather, she even wanted to die...
Back in her room, after changing into new underwear, she buried her face in the quilt, acting crazy on the bed, and shouting while wrapped in the quilt: "Ahhhhh, it's not real, none of that was real, it must be a dream, it must just be a dream ahhhhh!!!!"
...
Shirou didn't sleep all night.
The scene of accidentally seeing Roxy doing that thing last night would often appear in his mind, and under the influence of his own strong memory, it became clearer and clearer, so that every detail became detailed.
This caused Shirou to not even be able to sleep. He just kept his eyes open and waited for the sun to rise before finally getting out of bed.
Tired, tired from the bottom of my heart.
And for some reason, I really want to cry...
I really hope Miyu is by my side.
Surely that gentle child would try to comfort him at this time, and tell him how to face a girl he had just seen doing *that*, and how to get along with her normally.
Uh, even Miyu couldn't do that, right...?
"Sigh, maybe I should just apologize honestly."
Shirou sighed and his heart gradually became firm, realizing that he had to face reality, even if he was beaten up by Roxy, he had to take responsibility for making such a big mistake.
So, he got up early for the first time in a long time, and spent a lot of effort in the kitchen to make breakfast, showing his skills as perfectly as possible.
"Huh? Shirou, you're making breakfast so early?"
Paul and Zenith were surprised to see the rich table after getting up, quite surprised.
Rudeus was more concerned and said, "Brother Shirou, didn't you rest well last night? Your dark circles are really bad..."
"P-Probably."
Shirou said awkwardly, really not knowing how to explain what happened last night.
Just then, Roxy's figure slowly walked down from upstairs. Although the blue-haired girl looked like she had no reaction on the outside, the equally dark circles under her eyes proved that she had not rested well last night...
