I had to pause while organising my luggage because Seth, who had followed me in, was being unbearably gloomy.
“Oi! You’ve been loitering around and being gloomy since a while ago. If you’ve got something to say, say it!”
“…… You’re really leaving?”
“Well, obviously. It’s normal to leave once my affairs have concluded.”
“……The young masters will probably be sad~”
“Do I look like I care? I’m relieved to be freed from babysitting. Besides, since you guys will be here, then they’ll be fine. They’ll forget me in three days or something.”
“Nobody will be able to replace Lilius. ……Lilius is Lilius. There’s no such thing as a substitute.”
At Seth’s remarks, I let out a low hum in surprise. The words I was about to say were stuck in my throat and couldn’t come out.
People who could replace me were plenty. However, at Seth’s unexpected words, my heart became restless and was unable to calm down.
“Thank you. But my life is that of a village healer, and the children are nobles. This isn’t something we can do anything about, isn’t it?”
“……I guess. I hope you drop by now and then, at least. We’ll be staying here for a while still, so.”
“Will do, if I feel like it.”

“Well, I’m going to sleep. About me leaving tomorrow, make sure to tell Jill about it.”
“……”
“If tomorrow you say something like “I forgot to tell him,” I’ll get angry, you know~~?”
“I, I know! Anyway, don’t act cutesy like that, it’s gross.”
“Hah. I’m counting on you. See you, Seth. Night.”
After closing the door, I slipped into my bed.
The large and soft bedding felt good.
However, I wonder why — it was hard to fall asleep, and even though it was summer, my body felt cold.
Even the moonlight, like the chill of cold water, dazzled my eyes with its radiance. I turned my back to the window and closed my eyes.

“It’s your fault.”
A nostalgic memory.
It was my younger self walking together with a red-haired girl, hands linked like the good friends we were. But soon the scene changed, and she was shoving me away.
A fragment of memory that I had seen many, many times.
It was a dream that always came whenever I had trouble sleeping.
While I was uncomfortably waiting to be awakened quickly from this dream, a strong bloodthirst washed over me, making me instinctually leap to my feet.
At an extremely fast speed, a shadow stabbed at my head with a dagger, but was blown away by a transparent shield.
This shield wasn’t my magic. This aura…… Jill?!
However, I had no leisure to ponder over that thought because the shadow that had been thrown onto the wall was getting onto her feet — it was a woman, gazing at me with an eerie smile.
“Ahaha! Hateful…… you’re hateful! Hateful! I’m definitely going to kill you!!!”
Her unpleasantly taut voice echoed in the room. I figured out that it was similar to the voice of a servant in this residence. However, the one who stood in front of me was a woman I had never seen.
“Why did you have to appear now, after so long……? Why…… Cruel, you are cruel, Lilius.”
“I don’t even know you though?”
“A lie…… You know — Are you sure you don’t know me?”
Rather than the low, flat voice that had been speaking, it was a sweet, bell-like voice that came out.
When her voice changed, the woman’s face, like peeling off layers of skin, also changed.
It was a repulsive sight.
“……You.”
“Look, you know me, right? You threw everything about me away, didn’t you? Right, right? You remember, don’t you… don’t you!”
The figure of the woman who finally appeared, certainly, I seemed to have seen it. It was the person who broke up Andrea and Cyril’s quarrel a few days ago. However, she and I didn’t have any intersections.
She had been thrown away by me?
What kind of thing was this? She and I, just when had we…….
“You, could it be—”
From my memory, something was caught.
At that time, I had thought that nostalgic scent was strange. A scent that I seemed to remember from somewhere. The place where I had smelled it wasn’t here, but somewhere far colder and icier.
At that moment, the figure of that red-haired girl inside my mind overlapped with this servant’s.
Was it really her? Was that girl inside my dreams, the woman in front of me?
Just as I opened my mouth, as if intruding, the sound of running footsteps came from the corridor, heading towards here.
Short chapters with cliff hangers 🤬 I do like the story though.

So the killer appears because her victim will go away.
After that attack, I bet Lily is not going anywhere. Jill won’t let it happen.
