Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…
From that day on, I would leave the house the Makoto prepared for me and head to the old church every day.
Over there, I help out with Meryl’s rehabilitation, or I play with Raimu and Kaede or with some of the other orphans at the church. These past few days have honestly been the most fulfilling days of my whole life.
I wish that I could just go on like this forever.
However, the fact is that I am an assassin. No one can change that fact.
“You know Lyra, lately you’ve been looking more upbeat.”
On my usual hour where I left to go to the church, Makoto spoke to me.
Oh yeah, I forgot for a moment that she was supposed to be the one supervising me.
Normally, she never really gets in the way of whatever it is that I do, so it doesn’t really feel like I’m being watched or anything.
“Yeah. I found something fun to do.”
“Oh really? I’m glad.”
She said with a gentle smile. For some reason, seeing that smile made my chest tighten.
Even though she’s a woman.
Even though she’s the same woman who gave birth to Lord Edward’s child.
I feel like I can understand why Lord Edward likes her.
“Would you mind if I come with you? I would like to know what’s making you smile so much lately.”
“Huh?”
Even though she’s supposed to be keeping me under surveillance, she has no idea where I am and what I’m doing…?
“Hahaha. That surprised expression of yours is rather cute.”
“Wha-…”
Honestly, that smiling face of hers is just unfair. Her calling me cute with her soft voice just feels so embarrassing, I don’t even know what to do anymore.
On top of that, it’s the first time anyone’s called me cute.
“Well, let’s get a move on then.”
She said while taking my hands. And just like that, we left the house.
We left to go to the church holding hands.
She takes the lead, it was almost as if she knew exactly where I was heading.
“Let’s go a bit faster.”
“Uh…”
She started walking faster immediately as she said that.
But why?
The church isn’t going anywhere.
Even though we left the house a bit earlier than I would normally.
She was going pretty fast. It was so much so, that if I didn’t jog a little, I wouldn’t be able to keep up.
“Makoto? Why are we going to quickly?”
I asked while chasing after her.
“If we don’t go quickly, something bad might happen, and you might just regret it. I apologize, but let’s keep going.”
What did she mean by that?
We are going to the church, right?
