4."Nursing Sylvie who Caught a Cold"
4
master..
water? yes, i'll have some.
thank you very much.
i'm sorry. even though i took care of my body, i caught a cold again.
i'm sorry for causing you distress. i'm alright, so, master, please return to your work.
no, i'm fine. if it's any more than this i'll be a bother to you.
i'm really alright. having you stay by me and nurse me again, it's just..
master, thank you, very much.
master, can you stay by me for a while? yes.
actually, it's hurts a little. my head is hot, and even then it's really cold. my arms and legs are cold.
but, why is it, somehow, like this, it's almost natural. i'm certain it's punishment.
i was originally a slave, and being sent into such a happy life like this..
so this is, i'm sure of it, is my punishment. are-? what am i saying? even though i didn't mean it that way.
but, master, you never treated me like a slave even once. even though i'm just a slave.
a slave, to have such happiness, it just, doesn't happen.
i am, i am. strange, right? even though i know that master will never do anything bad to me.
i, is it because of the cold, i'm saying strange things? master..
master, i'm scared. i'm scared.
master, always being gentle to me.. i'm scared.
i'm afraid of the day this happiness will break.
i, as a slave.. master is such a wonderful doctor.
for someone like me, there's no way i could be a match for you.
so, master, one day you'll leave me behind and go somewhere..
for thinking of something like that, i'm scared.
i understand it's something that can't be helped.
even now, every day is like a dream, and i know that.
when i wake up, i'll go back to being my miserable self from before.
being alone. without master.
i'm sure, this is, a dream.
no..
i don't want that. i want to be with master forever.
master, i really love you so.. until whenever, i want to be together.
i don't want to leave you. i don't want, to leave you.
master. master. master, why, why are you so kind to someone like me?
why, someone like me. even though i'm just a slave.
master, even though i can't do anything for you.
master, what should i do? what should i do to stay with you forever?
please tell me, master.
so cold, it's so cold. master..
mas..ter..
...
ah, my body is feeling much better. it looks like my fever has subsided.
are-? this feeling is.. m- master?! did you, all this time, you were hugging me?
to warm my body? in this position the whole time? ah, thank you very much.
yes, thanks to master, i'm not cold at all. it was very warm.
ano- master, that, i, because my head was out of it yesterday, did i say anything strange?
is that it? i didn't say anything at all? i have this feeling i caused you alot of distress.
then, was that was a dream i wonder? n- no, it's nothing. thank you very much, master.
my cold is completely cured. ano- master?
my left arm, what happened to it? you were touching it the whole time.
the size? my finger? as a doctor, what is your diagnosis?
yes, then please, touch it as you like. by the way, master.
since my cold is gone, today i want to do my best with the housework again.
i- i can't? but, i took two days off helping master.. yes, i'm sorry.
i'll take you word for it and will rest in bed today.
ano- if there's anything i can help you with, please tell me anytime.
eh? observing? so i don't overdo myself? master was, beside me all this while?
that, master, i'm a bother to you again. but, i'm very happy, master.
then, until my cold is completely cured, will you please stay beside me?
yes. thank you very much.
