　I put Rebecca on the bed and spun around to look at Jill.

"Why are you smiling?　It's disgusting."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's rude to call me creepy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, what's wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Jill, you can go to the Academy of Magic. Just as my assistant.

　Jill looks at me, frozen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is she happy?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You'll have to give me some kind of reaction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Can you ......, get out of here ......,?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's what I mean."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can see your eyes are watering.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Now I've kept my promise. Now it's up to you how you live your ......, life."

　Before I could finish, Jill jumped into my chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She clung to my waist, her shoulders shaking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was so surprised. I don't know what to do in a situation like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've never been in a situation like this before, so I don't know what to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I glanced at Grandpa Will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Grandpa Will nodded to me slowly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not bad to be hugged like this by someone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hugged Jill back gently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I loved her small trembling body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sometimes it's good for a bad girl to have feelings like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill was tired of crying and fell asleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can see her eyes are swollen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She must have cried a lot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I patted Jill's head and looked at Grandpa Will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is where the story begins, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Do you still have the desire to go back to the palace?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Grandpa Will's face suddenly turned stern at my question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe I reminded him of something unpleasant, but I wanted him to return to the palace if at all possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I wanted him to use his wisdom for the good of this country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't want a wise man like Grandpa Will to die like this in this village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I will bring him back to the palace.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm well aware that I overestimate myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I still want Grandpa Will back in the palace.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Now ......, I don't think anymore."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"When Alicia told Rebecca to be the savior, I wanted to be here to see with my own eyes how the poor village is changing. Well, I don't have eyes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Grandpa Will crinkled the corners of his eyes and laughed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My words and actions must have made him lose his desire to return to the palace.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what to do. It's my fault.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Alicia, don't blame yourself."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Grandpa Will read my mind again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How does he always know?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Alicia, do you know how happy it makes me to know that you are willing to do things for me?　As long as Alicia has that feeling for me, I will live another day in this poor village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no. No, no. I don't have such beautiful feelings. I'm working for my own interests. The only reason I want Grandfather Will back in the palace is because I want to use his wisdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't give hope to anyone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's not part of the role of a bad girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then why did you blame yourself for my staying?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Grandfather Will tells me to leave no stone unturned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why don't you listen to my wisdom here and now, and make it your own, and then Alicia can tell it at the palace?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I would never want to be such a coward!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't help but raise my voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you do that, it will be the end of me as a human being."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Grandpa Will stroked my head gently, as he always did.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My heart was getting calmer and calmer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Alicia, I'm here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't see Grandpa Will's face, but his words were clear in my ears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm feeling very emotional today... I'm not ready to be a bad girl yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry I pushed my ego on you," he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I bowed my head deeply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A bad girl would never do this. I know that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Grandpa Will is the only person who understands me. I can't lose him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Today is already a red mark day for being a bad girl. But only for today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's the last time I bow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I put the bottle your father gave me on Jill's lips and poured the light pink liquid into her mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I didn't want to wake her when she was sleeping.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I made sure she drank all of it and lifted her up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I knew that Jill would not like it if she woke up, but it was safest to carry her like a princess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I took the macaroons I had brought for Jill out of my pocket and handed them to Grandpa Will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You can eat them with Rebecca this time."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then Grandpa Will gave me a warm smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sure you'll be fine since everyone is asleep at this time of night, but just in case, you should wear this."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He then put a tattered cloak over me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I bowed lightly to Grandpa Will and left the house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As soon as I left the house, I saw people from the poor village lying on the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Are they sleeping in front of their houses?　If I were you, I'd take turns getting up and keeping watch: .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I tried not to wake them and ran towards the fog with Jill.
