❝Revenge is not necessarily a good thing they told me, that's why I prefer to call it payback instead because why not return the favor?❞

CHAPTER 4: FATE? WHO IS THAT? I DON'T KNOW ANYONE BY THAT NAME!
«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»
「Author's POV」
Ayumu awoke to soft cries of a maid, and the morning light trickled in through the open sliding door. Shedding herself of the remaining glimpses of what had happened before she fainted, her heterochromia eyes were still shut as she soaked in the warmth of her covers before letting her eyes see the sun's rays.
Slowly and reluctantly, she uncover her face. She blink, close her eyes, and blink again. Streaks of sunlight penetrate the sliding door and blind her. She turned her head to face the crying maid as she called out quietly to her ❝Nanako-chan...?❞
The young maid look up, seeing her young master gained consciousness and is wide awake now, she almost wants to cry harder at that moment ❝Ojou-sama...!❞
❝Wait... Why are you crying, Nanako-chan?❞ Ayumu asked, a bit lost as the maid sniffles, apologising ❝I-It's because of me, if I have paid more attention then you won't have that injury on your forehead in the first place!❞
❝Injury?❞ The red haired child raises a hand to her head, feeling a soft cloth wrapping around her little head. Oh. She remembered it now. She turns her eyes on the young maid and said kindly ❝It's not your fault, Nanako-chan... I just remember a bad dream I have this morning❞
❛Sorry, Nanako-chan. I can't just tell you that a man just told me to marry a jujutsu sorcerer in order for me to be alive!❜ She sighed at her thoughts, feeling slightly down after knowing something like that.
❝A bad dream?❞ The brunette asked, looking at the child in question ❝What was it about? You can tell me to make yourself feel better, ojou-sama!❞
❝Ah... Well...❞ Ah. Crap. What now? She can't just make a lie right on the spot, right?? That's would be so obvious! Wait unless...
❝What's wrong, ojou-sama?❞ Nanako looked worried when her young master suddenly goes quiet on her ❝Was it really that bad?❞
Ayumu flinched, shivering as if cold as she hold herself. Her lips tremble in fear as she continues in a stuttering voice ❝I-I can't help but feel like someone is...watching us, Nanako-chan❞
