And just that, three days have passed since then.

For three days, Evan took a sword class and left the room before I even woke up, and came in only after I fell asleep. I had to say that I rarely see his face.

On the surface, nothing has changed, but strangely, his expression became dark. So, I am determined to have a proper conversation with him tonight.

"Hello."

A young woman with red hair drooping down came to my room and greeted me cheerfully.

"I am Serena Morristo. I'm going to be the doctor for the Little Lady's daily condition from today."
"We're going to have a doctor's appointment."
"My alias is Serena Morristo. Then, you'll be able to tell right after you see my name."

Sven... you're a good worker.

"Thank you, Serena."

Maybe it's because of how things are working out, Lisa didn't catch up either. Evan was out for sword training every day, so only Serena and I were in the room.

Serena clung to me and laughed and said in a low voice.

"The guild leader asked me specifically. I heard you're a VIP customer, so I should take care of you."

Of course. How much money did I spend there?

"Is Serena a real doctor?"

"No."

Serena blinked proudly.

"I don't know much about medicine. I've seen a few simple books by cramming."

"But how did you get through the interview?"

"The Duke doesn't know much about medicine... and I passed a prestigious medical academy diploma, a license, and a mountain of recommendations."

"Oh, my."

"Of course, it's all counterfeit."

"I-is that even okay?"

"It's unusual for our guild leader to move this far...but I really don't think Miss Laria's going to be able to help me."

It's not that he likes me, but he must have liked the answer I gave him last time. If he read the board, he'd be curious about the situation of Duke Icard, but he'd want to use me well instead.

"So, what am I supposed to do, Miss Laria?"

At the same time, Serena asked in a cute way with her green eyes.

"The duke will keep asking about my condition."

"Well, that's right." Serena answered ponderously.

"For now, there is a condition that no one could know about Miss Laria's condition."

It is a natural condition because I had to be on a deadline that no one knew about.

"He said he'd open my throat if the rumors spread. Oh, I'm scared...it didn't sound like a joke at all."

"I'm sure he's not joking."

"What?"

"His jokes are scarier."

"...I see."

Serena sighed and continued.

"And he said, "Don't bother telling her, but go to her regularly and report to me about her condition"."

Everything is just as I had expected.

"You can't give Duke Icard your heart easily..."

In the end, Duke Icard was using a doctor's note to watch over me, rather than curing my illness.
