"Jill!　Wake up!"

　I said this as I patted Jill, who was sleeping on the couch .

"...... what?"

　Jill said in a slightly muffled voice as she opened her eyes.

　I wonder if she has low blood pressure?　He looks incredibly grumpy.

　He is looking at me with a wrinkled brow.

　It's rare to see Jill look at me like that. It's new.

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

　The person Jill is staring at is usually Liz. ....... Is she always staring at me with these eyes? Those are powerful eyes. I'm sure a popular girl like Liz wouldn't have a boy her age staring at her like this.

　But I think she is less likely to stare at me than she used to be, thanks to the teachings of her brother Henri.

　...... is not the time to be staring at Jill.

　I came to my senses and stood up straight.

"Watch me."

　I said this and snapped my fingers lightly.

　At that moment, a map spread out on the desk came toward me.

　I grabbed the map gently and showed it to Jill with a satisfied smile. Jill is looking at the map with her eyes dimmed.

　I wish she would ...... react.

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

"......What about it?"

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

"It's magic!"

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

　When I said this, Jill's eyes widened. She's finally awake.

"Thank God."

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

　Jill let out a sigh of relief as she rolled her eyes.

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

　She seemed pretty worried about me. It's nice when people worry about you.

"From today on, Williams Alicia, you are fully recovered."

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

　I smiled at Jill. Jill laughed happily at my words.

"So why are you sneaking out of the house today without seeing Arnold?"

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

　Jill asked in a low voice just as I was about to pass through the gates of the Academy of Magic.

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

　The stained glass reflected the sun's rays. I wonder what the demand for that stained glass is.

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

　There are so many things that could be improved before spending money on such a place.

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

Alicia, are you listening to me?

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

I'm listening. But it was too bright. ......"

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

"Don't change the subject."

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

　Jill stares at me a little angrily. I squinted at her.

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

"It's just that when I thought about my priorities, seeing your father was way down on the list, that's all."

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

"Before."

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

"It used to be that seeing your father was the most important thing, but a lot has happened in the past week, hasn't it?"

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

　I said, interrupting Jill.

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

　I really have had a lot to think about this past week.

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

　This is not the time to see your father. ...... being off Liz's radar is incredibly important, but there are more important things I need to do.

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

　Uncle Will, the wolves, ...... anyway, seeing your father can wait.

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

"Sure, we have a lot of things to do before we see Arnold."

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

　Jill said, seemingly satisfied with my words.

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

　We've known each other for quite a long time, so she's quick to understand me.

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

"Right?"

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

　I smiled at Jill.

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

　We headed toward the school building.

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

　It's only been a few days since I've been at the Academy, but it feels like it's been a long time.

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

"Hey, do you want to make a bet?"

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

　I said to Jill.

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

　Jill's mouth dropped open and she looked at me as if she were looking at something strange.

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

　I'm sure she would have that look on her face if I had suddenly asked her to make a bet with me.

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

I'm sure someone will say, "I thought you weren't coming."

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

　I said this with the corner of my mouth lightly raised.

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

　Jill froze for a moment at my words, but quickly blew them out.

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

"I think she'll say she thought I was dead," I said.

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

　Jill said with a laugh.

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

　I burst out laughing at her words.　

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

　I think we are the only people who laugh when we think of all the bad things we are about to be told.　

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

"That's pretty bad."　

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

"They may look pretty on the outside, but they're a bunch of dirty people on the inside."

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

I can't deny that.

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

"But the world wants to see a pretty face more than a pretty body.

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

"I can't deny that either. ...... So, isn't the best person to be a combination of both?　Like Liz."

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

　When I said this, Jill fell silent.

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

　I'm a bad girl, so I like to look good on the outside, but you, Liz, you like to look good on the inside.

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

　Well, I look terrible from the outside too. I'm clean except for my eye patch, so you'll have to forgive me.

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

　I'm fine with being a slut on the inside. I'm a villainess. Only heroines are beautiful on the inside.

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

　I walked on, thinking of this in a daze.

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

"I think Alicia is better than Cather Liz."

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

　I couldn't catch what Jill blurted out.

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

"What did you say?"

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

"Nothing."

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

　When I asked, Jill turned her big smile to me and said, "I'm sorry.

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

　I don't think I've seen that smile for a long time.

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

　I think she said something, but I don't think she'd tell me anyway if I asked her. ...... And Jill would definitely tell me what I needed to know, so that meant I didn't have to worry about it.

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

"Hey, if I win the bet, I want that bracelet of Alicia's."

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

　A bracelet?　Suddenly Jill's words made me freeze. Jill's serious eyes fixed on me.

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

　You want what I have?　...... that's too self-conscious.

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

"Fine. Then, when I win, ...... tell me what knowledge you think Jill has that I don't know."

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

　Jill's eyes widened at my words.　

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

"Is that what you want?"

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

Knowledge is the best asset.

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

"I see."

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

　Jill laughed. You're laughing a lot today. I laughed along with her smile.
