Matilda then started to leave

“I’ll come back later”

She left with that

Before Matilda ca house

Led by a police officer to the roo sadly

“I apologize, Miss! If you had had a guard with you at that time…”

As she raised her head, her sentence faded After gluing her eyes on me for a while, she spoke quietly

“There’s not even a trace of you left…”

“That may be so…”

After replying equally as quietly, I took her hand “But I’h I look like this, can you trust me?”

“U—m…”

She took a step back, wavering Her hand slipped out of mine

“What about your dark history?”

“When I tried to escape from home and climbed up to the second floor, only to fall out? Then hit my head, and went unconscious? I still can’t remember where that delicious bakery I used to sneak out to is!”

“You are most definitely you”

Claire hugged me I was startled, but embraced her back

Claire felt small

The ar feature, were long!

“II can do for you”

Claire then pushedher eyes “It’s my fault that you’re in this situation!”

“No, um, Claire”

“At that tih you told uard! Please let me bear this responsibility!”

“How?”

Troubled, I turnedif she had cooled down too

“What should I do?”

“Well, for now just be withhere for a while”

“Here…”

Claire looked at her surroundings and let out a sigh “There’s nothing here”

“It’s true”

“I’ll speak to the s”

“There’s no need”

I laughed “It shouldn’t be for that long You knoant to go back to the mansion as quickly as possible”

“Ah, I see”

Claire crinkled her forehead

As we sat there absent-h

“Ah, the servant has arrived Your room is prepared next door”

Claire and I looked at each other

Edgar appeared fro at us, he snorted “There will be soether”

“I’h”

I replied, beco nervous

It’s true, there was that issue

As I pondered as to whether it was a bad idea to have called Claire, she shtly

“There won’t be any ruhter of a respectable family and her servant”

“Right now, she’s not the daughter of a respectable family”

“If soaged”

She turned her head to the side and looked at me

While I gave a

“For now, let’s go to the mess hall After that I’ll show you to the bath”

Bath

Again, hell on earth!

“That is, Edgar will show you”

Matilda turned her eyes away

Claire also, as if to escape, turned her line of sight in the other direction

Edgar looked at ust…

“I’ll show you, but don’t get too close to me You make me sick”

“That’s my line”
