Lisa was famous for her keen senses since her days at the grand duchy.

On days when monsters invaded the mansion, Lisa would find herself in a state of anxiety all day. Unlike those who resided in the main building, which was protected by the knights, the servants living in the annex were under direct threat from a monster attack.

Whenever Lisa, who was usually always smiling, showed signs of anxiety from the morning, the servants all gathered together and spent the night in the same room.

The servants who were hostile towards Lisa sometimes ended up being the first victims to the monsters.

'What would she know? I'm going to sleep by myself. I have to get up early tomorrow morning. Does it look like I have time to be hanging around with you all?'

It was because the servant went back to their room all alone like that. Although the monsters were strong, if several servants combined their strength—especially the stronger young men—they would be able to deal with at least one monster at a time.

Those who had been able to get through the nights safely like that, narrowly escaping death, all became remarkably friendly to Lisa.

'Do you want me to do that for you?'

'You must be tired. How about you take a nap?'

As a result, Lisa never suffered any hardships during her time at the Mogris mansion.

But unlike in the past, when she only dreamed of monsters invading the Mogris mansion, her dream this time showed a train derailing. Lisa had a feeling this dream would soon become a reality.

A huge monster had appeared and, as a result, the train ended up derailing.

Ruminating on her memories, Lisa was about to jump out of her seat but stopped herself at the last minute.

I think I just had a very strange dream aside from the prophetic dream...what was it?

The last scene of her dream, where the train derailed, caused all memories of anything that happened before it to fly out the window. But Lisa was sure she had another dream before the train accident.

Was it another prophetic dream warning of danger?

In a daze, Lisa blinked as she tried retracing her memory before abruptly standing up from her seat. This was not the time for such worries. The train was heading towards its destination, the imperial capital.

"T-train. How do I stop this train?"

Lisa got up in a hurry and looked around. She had to stop the train right away. She spotted a man dressed in a suit just in front of her, leisurely reading a book. Judging from his natural behavior, he looked like someone who was familiar with traveling by train.
