"--that is."

"Zoe?　Yes, he's been very good to me.

"She is a child that Irene protected, a former human, though she is now a vampire. She has been through a lot and hates humans, but the loss of Irene, whom she adored ...... and Daisy, whom she adored, and the revenge-madness of the Lepsy, whom she admires, have only added to her misanthropy."

　We knew Zoe hated people.

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

　However, Tomoya seems to have followed Lepsy's lead and seems to be taking an interest in Zoey.

"When you first met Zoey, she didn't behave well, did she?"

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

"Yes, well..."

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

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

　I shudder to think of Zoe's hostility when we first met.

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

　I remember breaking out in a cold sweat, thinking that she was faster and more formidable than Bowood, whom I had just fought.

"...... I'm in trouble."

"But if the first of them, Zoe, is close to you, it won't be much of a problem. At best, she'll challenge you to a duel."

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

"That sounds like a lot of work, though."
