Several times later, I washed up properly.
Arthur Lindsey said, "Ella, did you just feel nauseous like that earlier?"
"...Yeah." Ella nodded vigorously.
Her heart eased a bit as well.
Fortunately, she had dodged a bullet without giving Arthur a hard time about where she had gone.
"Do you know why?" Arthur suppressed his joy, interacting with her sweetly.
"Maybe it's because I'm not used to the environment here," Ella thought simply.
The food and drink here, despite being quite rich and lavish, gave her a cold feeling of being in a foreign land.
She wasn't quite accustomed to it.
"Ella, this is not because you're not accustomed to the environment here."
But Arthur avoided her stimulating sentence, and breathed into her ear like an orchid, "Ella, why don't you ask me why it's not that you're unused to the environment?"
"But I think it is."
"..."
Arthur looked embarrassed. This girl usually had her moments of cleverness, why was she so clueless now?
