The lightblocked room was rather dim. The doctor took a close look at April, then clasely stepped back with his hands clasped together.

“So, how is April?”

At Grayan’s question, the doctor, with a rather serious look, cautiously replied.

“She has a high fever. It seems to be body malaise rather than a cold, but you should still be careful. She should absolutely not overexert herself and needs to rest well.”

“I see… understood. You can leave now.”

“Yes, Your Grace.”

The doctor, who had bowed in salute, soon left the room.

In the quiet room again, Grayan and I stared down at the sleeping April.

The small, snowywhite rabbit was soundly asleep, oblivious to the world.

“April…”

In a soft voice, Grayan reached out and gently stroked the rabbit. His touch was incredibly delicate and careful, like handling fragile porcelain.

“I plan on staying here until April wakes up… What will you do, my lady? If you are tired, you can go back to your room and rest.”

After observing April for a while, Grayan suddenly asked me. I looked around at the cute and ornately decorated room and met his gaze, answering.

“I will also wait until April wakes up. I can look around April’s room in the meantime….”

And so, Grayan and I spent time sitting side by side near April’s bed.

Whenever we ran out of things to say, I got up and slowly looked around April’s room.

This was my first time leisurely exploring April’s room.

No wonder, since April was always like a storm of a rabbit….

‘It feels weirdly quiet because April is lying down with body malaise….’

It suddenly hit me how deeply the rabbit, which always surprised or amused me, was ingrained in my life.

‘…April is really precious.’

It’s a very obvious truth, but everyone needs the warmth of others. There’s no one truly alone in this world. Like it or not, we live through interactions with others.

To me, who was suddenly dropped into this strange world one day, April approached without hesitation.

Wasn’t it all thanks to my interaction with April that I was able to adapt to this world more easily than I thought?

‘I need to do better for April in the future. Make sure lots of strawberries that April likes grow, let her eat lots of steak, and more….’

Thinking of endless things I wanted to do for April, time passed in a flash.

Grayan was still sitting upright in his chair, it was a wonder how he could sit with his back straight for more than two hours.

Could his core muscles be extraordinary?… I felt a little envious.

“Kyung….”

“…!”

Just then, the rabbit made an uncomfortable sound and writhed.

Quickly going to the bedside to check, the rabbit’s pink nose and long whiskers seemed to be twitching, as if waking up from sleep.

“Kyungwoo….”

The rabbit, which was trembling with eyelids, soon opened its eyes wide. The black beanlike eyes blinked rapidly, looking at Grayan and me in turn.

Closely watching the rabbit’s condition, I quickly asked.

“Eh, April, did you sleep well? How’s your body? You still have a slight fever….”

“Kyangit.”

“…?”

The rabbit rolled its body to show its belly, then rubbed its thin stomach with its front paws.

“….”

No matter how you looked at it, she was hungry.

‘I suppose she is a foodie bunny….’

The thought naturally came to mind, but I had a hunch why she would claim to be hungry the moment she woke up.

Perhaps Lamein and I are worrying about her, as usual, pretending to have a good appetite.

She was indeed a very considerate and kind rabbit.

And… in some ways, it was pitiful.

She could admit that she was in pain, anytime she felt so.

With a heartfelt expression, I looked at April and gently stroked the rabbit’s belly.

“April, I see, you’re hungry.”

“Kyaaung.”

Upon hearing my words, April cried as if affirming it. I moved my hand a bit higher, scratching the rabbit’s neck and chin gently. As a result, the rabbit seemed to roll happily.

“You’d probably want steak, but you’re sick, and overeating is not good. Instead, I will try to match as much as possible with the food you want. What do you want to eat?”

“Kkiyaaung.”

“…….”

Since I can’t understand her, let’s try on the earrings that Jade gave me. I took the earrings out of my pocket. The earrings were made entirely of pure gold, with a simple design without any distinctive features.

‘Finally, I can understand the words of the rabbit April….’

For some reason, I was moved and wore the earrings. …But this, upon reflection, is a couple’s earring with Jade.

‘Somehow the feeling is a bit… An item for couples with my soninlaw and motherinlaw… Something like that… A filial piety item….’

But such minor parts… let’s not mind them. Anyway, Jade seems not to care much.

While fiddling with the earrings attached to my earlobe, I asked April again.

“What do you want to eat, April?”

“Kkiyaaung!” (Meat!)

“……!”

The rabbit’s cry was automatically translated into human words and echoed in my head. It was very surprising and fascinating…!

‘But meat again!’

Didn’t I say that overeating is not good? I sternly told April.

“You can’t have meat. You might get sick.”

“……! ……??”

As I understood her words, the rabbit looked surprised, her eyes wide open, and shook her head furiously. It was insanely cute…!

‘Ah, she’s so cute! So adorable!’

I wanted to hug the rabbit tightly, but I restrained myself and continued speaking.

“Do you see this? These are the earrings Jade gave me. Thanks to them, I can now understand what you’re saying.”

As I showed her the earrings hanging from my earlobes, tapping them with the tip of my index finger, the rabbit’s eyes sparkled as if she understood now.

Then she started chattering as if she was very excited.

“Kyaaung, Woongkyawut, Kkiyang.” (I hate vegetables. I want to eat meat.)
