Lily “Mm.”

It’s bright outside when I open my eyes. Light is streaming in from the curtains.

Lily “Luca. Is it morning already?”

??? “Sorry, but I’m not Luca.”

I hear a voice other than Luca’s respond to me.

Lily “!?”

When I try to sit up in shock, I find that my wrist has been sewn into the bed.

Silvio “Sleep some more.”

Lily “Silvio!?”

Silvio “A lot of things happened in the Red Kingdom, didn’t they? It seems that an incantation stole your physical strength. I was wavering about whether you’d get up right away after waking up.”

I don’t know why Silvio is here instead of Luca, but I lay my head back on the pillow.

Silvio “It’s unusual for you to do as I say. But that’s no fun. It won’t be good if you don’t get better.

Silvio puts his finger on my cheek and moves it as if trying to tickle me.

Lily “Stop!’

Silvio “Are you hungry? A lot of get-well gifts have arrived for you.”

Silvio  doesn’t react to my refusal and he looks at the top of the desk.

Silvio “There’s everything here. Just name a fruit.”

Lily “How about apples?”

Silvio “Alright.”

Silvio cuts up an apple.

Silvio “Here. Oh yeah. You probably can’t sit up yet, I’ll feed you.

Lily “No, thank you! I can sit up now!”

When I sit up on my elbows, Silvio laughs while holding out the apple me

Lily “By the way. Why are you here?”

Silvio “I was worried about you. I heard about your injuries from Hal.”

Lily “Was there anyone else around when you got here?” Like Luca?”

Silvio “Do you care about him that much?”

Silvio grabs my hand on the bed.

Lily “Um, Silvio?”

Silvio “I really don’t understand how you can trust that guy. It’s best if you didn’t depend on him.”

Silvio says meaningfully and he lets go of my hand. Instead he picks up the apple.

(Best if I didn’t depend on him?)

Luca “I really get a bad feeling from that guy. His magical power is way too strong for any human.

Who should I believe, I wonder?

Lily “Do you know something about Lcua?

Silvio “It would be more appropriate to say that there’s no doubt that he has another side to him.”

Silvio licks his finger. His facial expression changes and his eyes sharpened.

Silvio “So you should be careful.”

Lily “How do you know that?”

Silvio “It’s my sixth sense as a bad guy.”

Lily “Sixth sense. That’s ridiculous!”
