Vol 3 Chapter 47 (1/2)
Novem Forxuz
… Around
Having finished washi+ng the laundry for the mansion, Novem went out into the yard
In her basket, clothing had been piled like a mountain
While it’s true they had been away, the a that needed to be washed from the labyrinth was formidable
“The weather sure is nice today… I wonder if Lyle-saht”
Fro, it was likely that he wasn’t
Novem knew that, but since the individual hio, that was the end of the matter
The right to decide lay solely with Lyle, or so Noveht
Looking across the yard, weeds had grown out, and the lawn had grown up in the time they were away
Surveying her surroundings, Noveers
After that, she went into hanging up the clothes to dry, and pulling out the weeds Getting the grass into order, and gathering the lawn refuse into a single place
It was a matter of seconds
“I don’t really like using that one”
While she didn’t like the restrictions of that ic, there was much too little time for her to take care of the entire mansion alone
Today, she was going to go on to clean its insides, and she also planned to prepare lunch
“Miranda-san and Shannon-chan are co a bit is… but I wonder just how much of a reward Lyle-sama accepted”
Her eyesatop the yard’s wall
As Nove it with a smile, the cat hissed with its hair on end, before hurriedly running off
Seeing her own extended hand, Noveht to herself for a while
“As I thought, it’s no good”
Cheering herself up, she picked up the basket to head in to clean the kitchen
There, a voice called out to her
It was Shannon
“Hmm, so you’re alone today”
Seeing Shannon s off a different atns of surprise
“What happened? I don’t see Miranda-san with you”
Shannon spoke
“She left me, and headed over to the academy It seems there was some sort of problem I wonder just what sort of trouble your comrades caused”
As Shannon giggled to herself, her eyes were definitely focused on Novem
Noveirl who liked pretending to be blind, she helped guide her to her room
“It’s dangerous, so let me take you to your room Even so, a problem at the academy?”
She thought that perhaps so had happened to Lyle
But she could is Damien would perpetrate
Believing that Lyle would be able to persevere through them, Novem extended her hand to Shannon
Shannon returned a vulgar smile in return
“… I think it would be best if you stoppedsuch a face, Shannon-chan”
Upon being warned, Shannon started talking
“I’m not exactly sure what happened, but onee-sa at her heart, there’s nothing foryou Ilike Lyle’s doll”
Lyle’s doll
Hearing that Noveht to herself for a moment
That probably wasn’t a mistake
She acted for Lyle’s wellbeing, and existed for his sake
But Nove at a human
So she cautioned her
“You shouldn’t be saying such things to people Now let’s get you to your room”
Shannon grasped Noveht hand
A clear indication she could see it
“… Shouldn’t you be more skillful than that? At the very least, you’ve been able to put on that unseeing act all the way to now”
Up to now, Shannon irl
She had never acted in such a blatantly obvious manner
(Could she be panicking?)
After hearing of how Miranda was resisting, she began to feel so like impatience from Shannon
The doll she had finally gotten her hands on was stolen, so actions she would never usually do were co out
Shannon’s so touched Novem
“I’! With this, you’re my doll! Since you look much weaker than onee-sama… weaker than…”
Shannon was acting strange
Novem spoke in a kind tone
“Please unhand me, Shannon-chan Now let’s be off to your room”
Shannon opened her eyes wide, and looked at Novem
She hurriedly dropped the hand, and toppled onto her back
However, she didn’t seem to be in pain
Without re
“Are you alright?”
When Nove in her throat, as she retreated in kind
“Your clothes have been dirtied I’ll wash thee”
They were natural actions fro much more
“What… just what are you… you’re not human There’s no way you can be human…”
The words of the wide-eyed Shannon caused Novem to freeze up for a moment
She tried putting her hand to her face, which had now become expressionless
(… Not human So I’ve been told that once more)
It was a bother As she thought that, Novem put on a kind face once more
She was troubled over just how to call out to the shaking Shannon…
“Shanon-chan’s eyes… there’re really pretty, you knoas sure they were aolden to me Just what sort of world do you see with them? I’m quite curious”
The fact that she saw the world differently, that she had the ability, all of it was known to Novem
She had known, but had acted oblivious
It’s just that Shannon had quit acting blind, so her interest had been piqued She tried turning the conversation’s topic towards that, but…
What did Shannon think upon hearing that?
She hadn’t actually thought it that far through
“Hiiii! Stay away… don’t come any closer!!”
Shannon screa out in front of Novem
Novem looked upon the scene
“This, again…”
Letting out a sh, she patted Shannon’s head
And like that, she lifted up the girl’s body
Into a princess cradle
But there, she felt a presence closing in on the mansion at an incredible speed
“Lyle-sama?”
