“Who knows. I have absolutely no idea where Rachel’s soul might be. How about you?”

She says in a smile that I can’t quite read.

Does she really not know?

Even if she didn’t know, she probably has some sort of idea where Rachel’s soul might be.

“…Maybe? For now, I can’t tell you.”

I said while smiling at Makoto.

In doing so, Makoto just returned a smile.

“I see. It seems to me like you know where Rachel’s soul might be. But, for some reason, you can’t tell me yet?

It seems like she saw right through me.

Makoto is a pretty sharp person. She would be a pretty reliable ally to anyone; she could deceive and read any of her enemies.

“Correct. What I would be telling you would seem pretty ridiculous, so you probably wouldn’t believe me anyway.”

If she doesn’t believe my story that Rachel’s soul is actually inside of me, she would just brand be a liar. And we would lose any hope in trying to return Rachel’s soul back to her body.

“I see. Well then, after we deal with the situation with this church, I will tell you then. However, even if we did find Rachel’s soul, I would still have no idea what I could do.”

“I understand. Well then, let’s hurry up and settle this matter with the church so we can help Rachel.”

Makoto happily smiles.

Her smile seemed a bit darker than usual, was that just my imagination?

“Well, that was count Akkudoi and his eldest son. The ones who were targeting the church this time around were those two. It should be fine if we just assassinated them.”

“What?”

What was she saying? With a smile on her face, on top of that.

I already had a feeling that she knew exactly who were the people who were targeting this church. I kind of felt like that was the case.

But, for her to just tell me to assassinate them would just…

“You should be able to do it right, Lyra?”

I felt shivers seeing her smile. She knows.

About the fact that I used to be an assassin, she…`
