Haunted Duke’s Daughter

187

After the next day, Lilia did not attend class and walked around the south with Cynthia as her escort in the morning. It doesn’t have a particular purpose, but I will buy it when I find something that looks delicious as usual.

– Lilia, I want that one.

– Yes, sir.

Mostly sarcastic hopes. Every time I eat something, I share my thoughts with Sakura. How many more times can this be done as well?

– This bun, or something, is also a treat in the Sakura world, right?

With Grass Dafu on his cheek, I ask him what he doubted. That’s right, Sakura replies, Lilia continues.

– Could it be someone from Sakura’s world who told you about this treat?

– I think maybe it is. I don’t think anyone called Sage is from my world. I don’t know how you got here.

– Yeah……

So have the wise men still disappeared in the end? I almost heard that, but Lilia shook her head without saying anything. Sakura can’t possibly know. Besides, from what I’ve learned, it has nothing to do with Lilia.

– Oh, Lilia! Let’s eat those too!

– Which one?

While heading to the store indicated by Sakura, I decided to forget about my earlier thoughts.

I tour the south side at will with Sakura in the morning and teach Ray to study in the library room in the afternoon. If you stay in your room after school, someone will definitely visit you. Some parts have changed slightly, but it’s generally the same life as always. There will be no problem if I take over to Sakura like this.

That’s what I thought, and I got a little nervous. If Sakura uses Lilia’s body, it would mean acting as Lilia. Perhaps courtesy and manipulation would be fine if Sakura were motivated as well, but still the details should make the difference. There’s no way I can fix it now, more than I have a week left.

– Sakura. I have a suggestion.

One night. When Lilia says that, what’s Sakura? and has encouraged ahead.

– Let’s find a collaborator.

– Collaborators?

– That’s right. If you tell Alisa or Cynthia what’s going on, she’ll cooperate. With the cooperation of the two of you, you’d be able to help me where I failed a little.

I can be sure those two would cooperate and help me. About that, I trust you two. I thought it was a good idea myself, but Sakura seemed to shake her head.

– You don’t have to.

– Why not? Can’t you trust me about those two?

– Yeah. You can take that.

Lilia’s eyes narrowed in disgust. It was unrelated Alisa watching it, and Alisa’s expression caught on slightly, and Lilia rushed to hide her emotions.

– What do you mean?

I can tell for myself that my voice is strong. Sakura smiled bitterly and answered.

– You know, Lilia. No matter how much I trust you, it’s still not easy to believe. Imagine that. Alisa or Tina or anyone. One day, all of a sudden, I was told that my consciousness would soon be taken over and I would be someone else altogether, and I can immediately believe that it is?

Imagine Lilia shook her head immediately. I certainly wouldn’t trust myself first. Sakura is there, so there will be such things, as you may think, but without it you would doubt your sanity.

– Yeah. So fine. Lilia doesn’t mind. I’ll take care of it myself.

It’s not that easy to do. Even if Lilia doesn’t say so, Sakura will know. Apparently there was nothing she could do, and Lilia sighed small.

– I’m sorry, Sakura.

– I don’t know why I apologize… Lilia doesn’t care, you just have to do whatever you want.

Lilia nodded small at Sakura’s bitter words.

Tina has been visiting Lilia’s room since the morning of the holidays. Very early in the day, Lilia was just finally getting up and starting to get dressed. I quickly changed into a piece and invited Tina into my room.

“It would be too soon”

“Sorry. I can’t sleep with pleasure…”

Tina laughed as she lit up, and Lilia shook her head for good.

“Because of this, and take your time. Alisa.”

“I’m in awe”

When Lilia calls, Alisa immediately starts preparing tea. Soon afterwards, tea and confectionery were arranged on the table. I don’t know if it will replace breakfast, but this is the only thing I can prepare right away.

But Tina glistened delightfully at the confectionery served. Lilia makes her prayers easy and carries the sweets to her mouth. Tina, who was watching it, also quickly reached for the confectionery.

“Ha…… I knew it was delicious. And tea. It’s nothing like what I brew…”

“You can’t lose to people who don’t usually make tea.”

Alisa smiled bitterly and poured a replacement for Tina’s cup, which was soon emptied. Tina thanked me and now I start drinking slowly. Alisa looked at it with a satisfied smile.

That’s how she enjoyed tea and sweets, and after the sun had risen enough, Lilia left her room with Tina. A little further away, it seems Cynthia is supposed to arrive. Tina said she wished she didn’t mind coming along, but Cynthia didn’t want to interrupt her time with your friend, she didn’t give in.

Leave the dorm and walk with Tina to the gate. I walked into the south side without anyone calling me back.

Explore the city on the south side with Tina. Most of them are no different than the day they toured with Sakura and Cynthia on weekdays. Speaking of differences, is Tina guiding Lilia instead of Sakura?

“That’s next. It’s delicious over there.”

With that said, Tina runs to the little stall. Lilia laughed bitterly, but this one followed it as she walked.

– It’s about time you two ate and walked…

– At least you don’t want to be told by Sakura.

– Mm-hmm! I’m also interested in something else! Stuffed animals and stuff!

Zero a grin on the sakura that makes it peel, and receive the grilled meat stabbed on the skewer Tina has offered. Tina starts eating as she is and Lilia imitates and eats the same. The liquid on the meat is quite delicious.

– Yeah. I don’t know how to put it. Liquid.

Hearing Sakura’s voice, I finished eating immediately.

“Tina. I’d like to ask you one thing.”

When I said to Tina, who looked around me wondering where I was going next, Tina immediately looked back and smiled.

“What?”

“Stuffed animals, are they for sale around here?

– Lilia!?

Ignore Sakura’s hasty voice and wait for a reply. Tina was stuck in words and turned away.

“A little different place, I guess… Because there’s a lot of food around here.”

“Yes. Too bad. Can you show me around another time?

“Of course!”

It makes Tina smile full of joy. I guess she’s happy that Lilia likes stuffed animals more than she thought. With a smile that I can tell that emotion is in my hands, Lilia, who is being pointed at, gets embarrassed. Truth is, I like what Tina gave me, but I’m still not that interested in the stuffed animal itself.

– Sakura. Now you can show Tina around.

– Mmm… Thank you, I’ll tell you… You don’t have to worry about it, do you?

I know, I shrugged my shoulder and resumed shopping with Tina.
