“Noah, it’s time for bed.” Lari approached me, then without sitting next to me on the couch, even telling me that it is time for bed, do you sit next to me like that?
“I’m on my way, I’m finishing this page.” What was I reading you may be asking? Well, since I don’t have what to study anymore, I usually just read a few books at night.
These were books that were thrown in the closet at home, of no use, so I talked to my mother and she allowed me to pick up the books and take them to my room, and that was how I was full of things to read.
It was a good training for my mind, and it also helped me to tire my mind so that I could sleep peacefully, besides that they were good books, they were books about heroes, monsters, and other subjects involving battles.
Some books even involved gods, making me think about it a little.
Are there gods in this world as these books count? Or is it just an invention of the people who wrote it? Of any strength I find it difficult for gods to exist around here, a god would not waste time living in the world of mortals.
Anyway, they were good books, and it kept me very entertained, I didn’t have many opportunities to read something like that in my old world, so I’m happy to be able to do that every day.
“So, what are you reading now?” Lari was always by my side during my readings, since I always read before I went to sleep, and she put me to sleep, so she was always curious about the books I was reading.
She seemed to enjoy listening to the stories the book told, or maybe she liked to listen to what I was telling, but I think it works the same, it makes no difference.
“It’s the story about a demon who ends up betraying other demons and then allies himself with humans, it’s quite a cliché.” Yes, I had read other similar stories, like human traitors and so on.
“I see, and how did it happen? I wonder.” Even though it was a cliché story, Lari seemed quite interested, so I couldn’t refuse to tell her about the story that was in the book, at least tell what I had already read about him, it was a little more than half.
She had even forgotten that she had to take me to bed, she was listening to everything I said carefully, in the sad moments she was sad, in the moments of joy she smiled, it was as if she were experiencing the events.
What a more influential girl, or maybe she just gets too involved in reading or the story, and this is very interesting, I’m happy to see that, and throughout the story, she acted the same way.
And so I finished telling everything I had read so far.
“That was a wonderful story, but now if I don’t take you to bed or your mom will kill me, let’s go.”
“The story isn’t over yet, tomorrow night I’ll tell you the rest, okay?” I smiled at Lari and got up from the couch with her.
“I see, I’m happy to hear that, now let’s get going.” She took my hand and started walking towards my room, making me think about it a little, should she really be doing this?
I mean, I’m already a 10-year-old child, I don’t think she should still be putting me to sleep. It’s not that I don’t like it, but it’s a little weird, or maybe I’m just a spoiled boy?
We arrived in my room, then I put the book I was holding in a leak was inside my room, I left my shoes next to the bed and I lay down, all while Lari accompanied me.
“You shouldn’t always do this, put me to sleep … I’m no a child anymore.”
“You can be 10 years old and be a little more mature, but you were still a child, weren’t you? And I’m being paid to do that.”
“Do you mean that if you weren’t paid, you wouldn’t do that?”
“Nothing like that, but even if you say it like that, I only got to know you because I started working here.”
“You’re right, good night, Lari.”
“Good night, sleep well, tomorrow morning I will come to wake you up, I hope you wake up with a smile on your face as always.”
“With you waking me up? Of course, I’m going to get up with a smile on my face.”
“It looks like you’re trying to win me over, better stop it or I might end up falling in love with you.” Of course, she was just kidding, this has happened before.
“Would that really happen?” But I decided to take it as a joke too.
“Will be?” After my question she just smiled at me, she didn’t blush or anything, she was acting like an adult playing like a child, I think it should be like that.
Then Lari turned off the lights and left the room, I could only hear the sound of the door closing, so I closed my eyes.
Tomorrow will be a new day, and I hope it will be as wonderful a day as the others that I am experiencing in this world, and that I will see Lari’s beautiful face again.
It’s fun to play with her that way.
