"Sorry, if we're going from that road, we'll be late if we don't go soon ..."
"Ah-I'm sorry! Well then, let's go."
Charlotte returned to me and hurriedly raised her face and smiled.
And the two of us started walking together - and after all, Charlotte grabed the sleeve of my clothes.
――But there was another unexpected thing.
"Hah ... Hah ... I'm sorry ....Aoyagi-kun ..."
While aiming for school, Charlotte walking next to me apologized in a painful voice.
Her breath was getting rough and her sweaty face looked very painful.
Charlotte didn't seem like she would be able to walk alone, so she was hugging my arm while walking.
The reason why Charlotte did this was because we took a detour and there was a problem with Charlotte's physical strength.
It was a little steep road with a bad footing, but Charlotte was about to fall at every turn.
It would have been fine if she was a little careful , but maybe Charlotte had a weak core.
That's why she quickly lost her posture.
And when she tried to get back in position, it consumed a lot of physical strength.
At the end of the steep hill I stopped her.
Charlotte, who was trying hard not to bother me, was too exhausted while climbing the hill.
I had the image that she could do anything, but when I saw this weakness and lack of physical strength, she may not be good at exercising ...
In that case, I should have told in advance that the road was steep ...
"Are you okay? If it's too difficult, why don't we take a break?"
"But ... if you do that, we'll be late ... Aoyagi-kun, please go first ... I'll go later ..."
"I can't do that, What if something happens?"
Leaving Charlotte in her current state could be life-threatening due to dehydration and sunstroke.
Even though it was September now, the temperature hadn't changed from summer.
"Uh ... I'm really sorry ..."
Charlotte apologized, almost in tears.
To be honest, I never thought that such a situation would occur just by going to school together.
However, there is nothing I can do about it, as I had agreed to go to school on this road.
So it wasn’t her fault.
"You don't have to worry, you can put up a little more weight on me, then you can more easily , and also we can walk faster. After that, let's talk about something fun.-Yes, Charlotte. Tell me the story of your favorite manga. "
Even a delicate woman like Charlotte can walk if she put her whole weight on me.
I decided to talk about her favorite topic so that she wouldn't be too conscious of me.
