“Because I will follow you even if it is far away. Please don’t leave me alone.”
Saten pleaded in the park at dawn.
She asked me not to leave her alone, to look at her more than the other children.
And then, that voice was heard by the pink-haired girl who was secretly hiding.
“… Betrayer.”
Trying to monopolize the old man… ?
I also hold back my desire to monopolize…
Saten was talking about Mr.
‘This is how you come out… ?’
Hare has been following the old man and Saten since they left.
She remembered what had just happened.
…
Late dawn.
Hare always tries to sleep with her ears toward the uncle’s room.
Will an assassin arrive at the man tied up with a rope? Hare, who was more focused than usual, caught an abnormal signal in his ears.
-Mister, are you there?
“… Saten?”
At this late hour…
What happened to Saten… ?
Maybe she’s doing something strange to the rope-bound man.
Hare recalled the number of all kinds of cases, and controlled her pounding heart.
‘Oh no… Appearing at this moment… He must be suspicious of me… ‘
She doesn’t sleep and eavesdrop on other people’s rooms.
You’ll see me as an ignorant child.
I don’t want to be seen that way by Mr.
Hare quietly listened to their conversation, putting her ear against the wall.
-Well, I will sleep here today. Are you okay though?
“Saten… ?”
Now…
I said I would sleep with you… ?
Something I’ve never done before… ?
“This black cat… Trying to steal your uncle… ?”
Kwaak-
Hare clenched her fists to contain her anger.
I wanted to head to the old man’s room right now.
She took a deep breath and controlled her inner rage.
Controlling emotions was Hare’s specialty.
“Still, the old man refuses… thank god… “
Even if the old man refuses, I still can’t be careless.
Hare quietly erased her presence and overheard the conversation between the two.
-Estiya sticks to her teacher and moves forward with her… Luna and Hare are also training… Because I think I’m the only one who’s stopped… It wasn’t easy…
-It looks like it’s blocked by a wall.
“Saten was blocked by a wall… “
So, your personality has gotten weirder…
Hare could hear the uncle’s thoughts and Saten’s thoughts.
‘It’s wrong to secretly listen to other people’s conversations… ‘
This is to protect you from Saten.
“It will be fine… !”
Nod-
She thinks alone, and Hare has been convinced alone.
The moment I watched the situation of the two quietly like that.
Hare noticed that the two of them were about to get up and head outside.
“Me, I have to follow… !!”
Saten might make a mess of the roped man… !
Hare recalled what Saten said to her in the past.
‘Hare, as you know, I use blood to do magic. I can use magic with your blood, but it’s less effective.’
‘… So? What do you mean?’
‘But what if you use your uncle’s blood? If I use the uncle’s rich magical blood, I wonder if the efficiency of magic will increase.’
‘That, that’s not okay… !’
No way… !
I can’t make you reborn as a magic circle… !
With that attitude, Hare followed the two of them as they headed out late at dawn…
I was able to listen to all their conversations without being caught.
…
“You traitor. Trying to seduce the old man while I’m gone… ?”
I can’t stand it.
But you have to be patient.
Because the old man didn’t notice that I was tailing him, and he’ll scold me if he found out.
You have to be patient in order not to fall outside the eyes of the old man.
‘My heart hurts so much because of the distance between you and the uncle because of the last incident… I can’t do that again… !’
In the end, Hare had to decide.
Bury today’s work deep in your heart.
I won’t tell anyone to avoid getting caught.
I’m the only one who knows.
“Saten… What you did today… I will never forget… “
Trying to take over the old man alone.
Never forget.
Hare vowed to never forget this day.
“My plan is for four years… I’ll be patient now… “
It looks like he has put down his greed.
She was the most greedy thief of the warriors’ party.
It’s just that the expression is different.
Nature was an unchanging law.

“Now, mister, do it.”
“… “
“Sup-! A picky diet is not good! Hurry up and open your mouth!”
I don’t like it.
I really don’t want to eat.
I can’t put the vegetable chunks in that spoon into my mouth.
“Luna, are you serious about killing me?”
“Even if you eat, you won’t die! Salads are good for your health!”
“The visual looks unhealthy.”
“Ki, it’s because of my mood! Originally, what is good for the body has a strange appearance!”
But why?
Because the color of vegetables with dressing is black.
The black sesame dressing isn’t that black either.
What kind of source did Luna create?
It’s been 7 days since I was tied up with a rope.
I still couldn’t get used to the children’s breakfast.
“Come on! You eat and think! Open your mouth!”
“… “
If you get beaten, it’s better to get hit sooner rather than later.
I had no choice but to open my mouth and put in the salad(?).
“I ate today too! How is it! Is it delicious today!?”
“… “
“Looking at the lack of words, it’s delicious! Hare, we finally succeeded! Now, applause!”
“Wow… “
Clap clap-
There was no soul in Hare’s act of applauding.
Even at a glance, my expression wasn’t good.
The reaction is expected.
I gave Luna a firm evaluation of her taste.
“Luna.”
“Yes!”
“Now is the limit. If I live on this kind of food, I will die tomorrow.”
“That can’t be! How delicious!”
Sniff sniff-
Luna smelled the salad.
“It smells delicious! This must be delicious!”
“Then you can try it.”
“This, this is a bit of a chore for me to eat, hehehe… I’ll eat the potatoes steamed in the kitchen!”
… You know that this is not a visual to eat.
It’s a pity that he only tried to feed me though.
I didn’t want to take revenge against that chick-like Luna.
Thinking of revenge against a child, no matter how much I think about it, my conscience stings.
Asked Luna as she put the salad bowl on her desk.
“I think it’s time to loosen the bandages on my chest and loosen the ropes. Enough rest now.”
“Ummm… is that so? Hmmm… “
Luna is deeply troubled by her posture like Sherlock Holmes.
After a long thought, Luna made her decision and headed for the hallway behind her.
“Doctor! I’ll call the doctor!”
“… Yes, yes.”
Although a quack doctor.
Luna said she would bring Estiya, who could be called a saint in her own way.
She left to call Estiya, and Hare and I were the only ones left in her room.
In that situation, Hare was the first to speak.
“… Oh, uncle. Are you okay now?”
“She has never been bad from the start. You guys just forced me to rest.”
“Yeah, but I haven’t done anything in a long time… Wasn’t it okay… ?”
“It’s okay… “
Let’s think about it.
Everything was comfortable except for the meals.
Lie still on the bed and stare at the ceiling.
Sometimes when I was bored, the warrior party came to me after training and talked to me.
From noble mtl dot com
‘About 20 minutes of conversation was just right.’
After that, it was annoying and noisy.
Still, if I had to make my own evaluation of this time…
“It wasn’t bad. You can see it that way.”
“Well, that means it’s good…” !”
“If you interpret it positively, you can see that.”
Hare showed her smile as if she gained confidence from those words.
Recently, he perfectly mastered how to eliminate presence, and his body is getting closer to that of an agile thief.
The condition of her hare looked close to perfect.
“Hare.”
“Yes!”
“Don’t make an accident and just keep going. You are doing very well now.”
“Thank you, Mr.… I will work harder in the future… ! “
Thank you… !
Hare shouted and clenched her fists.
“Go, thank you, mister… however… I have a question… “
“Tell me.”
“Saten… How are you today… ? Nothing strange… ?”
Although she was originally a strange child.
By high standards, Saten is fine these days.
The moment she tries to answer Hare about Saten.
Kwaang-!
“Doctor! I called the doctor! Saint Estia has arrived!”
With the feeling of an ambulance rushing to the door.
Estiya made a splendid appearance.
She came quickly to her side and began to caress the bandages around her chest.
“Ugh, hmm… ! Enough of this… ! Maybe everything was better!”
“Isn’t that too rough?”
“It’s not like I have clairvoyance! How do I know the inside of the bandage! You have to see it with your own eyes! Brother! Take off the bandages quickly!”
“I-I can help…” “
Hare stepped forward and slowly removed the bandage wrapped around my chest.
The bandage slowly came off, revealing her wounds little by little.
However, for some reason, the reaction of the hero party was not good.
“Oh… ? Estiya… ? Didn’t you use divine power?”
“Yes, I used it! What, what?”
“Blood doesn’t flow… The scars remain… I haven’t recovered… “
I haven’t recovered.
Is that statement really true?
I wondered if he was making fun of me, so I turned to the mirror to check the scar on my chest.
I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw myself in the mirror.
‘Even though I used divine power… Why do scars remain… ?’
An incomprehensible wound.
I’m sure if it was divine power, it would have been enough to heal everything.
Why did this result come out?
Unfortunately, there was only one cause that came to mind.
Hare must have noticed that part as well, so she took it out of her mouth first.
“… Holy sword.”
“M, what? Seriously, why the holy sword?”
“… Cut the old man with the holy sword. The wound doesn’t seem to heal properly. The wounds cut by the holy sword do not seem to return to their original state no matter how much divine power is used to heal them.”
“Uh, uh uh… ? That, it can’t be… ”
Luna caressed my wound and seemed to deny reality.
However, the scars in front of her are palpable and visible.
She had no choice but to admit it.
“I inflicted a great wound on your chest… “
Luna’s face was stained with guilt.
She lowered her head and looked down at her floor.
Her figure was quite painful.
