1. Judging from the state of the count's body, his death does not appear to have been the result of a robbery.
2. There are fairly strong traces of magic at this scene, so the other person must be an expert at magic...
3. "...my lady?"
4. "......"
5. What happened here...? Was count montes murdered???
Caricamento…Caricamento…
1. He was a minor antagonist in the original game who rode on the coattails of the villainess's father. Count montes did many bad things as his accomplice,
2. Until he was brought to justice when the heroine exposed his villainy.
3. But why was he murdered now? He shouldn't die at this point in the story...
4. "Ah..."
5. Could it be... That I caused this by saving elsa and the other kids earlier?
6. The ring hasn't given off a warning, which means...
7. That everything until now is in accordance with the plot, right?
8. Daaaang it! There's too little information to go off on! Why did that stupid witch have to be so coy and vague with her words!
9. "Would it have killed her to give me just a bit more information?!"
10. "Didn't you mention earlier that the count might have been up to something shady with the demons, my lady?"
11. Could it be that a demon killed the count in a fit of fury after he broke an agreement with them?
12. "Yeah, that's possible. The count had a direct relationship with the demons and was able to ship people out,"
13. "So there should be some demonic traces near his domain."
1. "Now that I think of it, this used to be a battleground, right?"
2. "Dispatch some people to check the sealed entrance to the demonic realm. There could be some clues there."
3. "Yes, my lady. I'll organize that immediately."
4. "Do you need me to get in touch with prince michel?"
5. "Orders from the royal house would allow the soldiers guarding the frontier to get into action immediately."
6. "Okay. I'm counting on you to make those preparations."
7. In the original work, the villainess's mother dies in the winter of her seventh year...
8. Something definitely happened during this time that my future self wasn't aware of, and it changed my mom's fate.
9. "The count actually had a room like this here?"
10. "This place used to be a barracks for the pass to the frontier, so these books are probably just left from that time."
11. I don't know very much about the war that served as the backdrop to the main story, so maybe I can learn something new here...
1. Fifteen years ago, the demon lord descended upon the human world. She commanded a huge army of the undead using evil necromancy and proclaimed that she would baptize the human world with blood.
2. Untold numbers of human heroes, wishing to defeat the demon lord, volunteered to fight her. But dishearteningly, the demon lord's power became stronger and stronger as more and more people died...
3. Wherever the lord of the undead went, a hell for humanity followed. Little of anyone was left.
4. A single hero stepped forward as the entire country neared destruction.
5. That was the sage bella, my mentor.
6. The magic that bella used seemed miraculous. It purified those who had already died, allowing them to finally rest in peace instead of being forced to serve as foot soldiers for the evil demons.
7. The empire's army were able to regroup and achieve success after success with her help.
8. However, her miraculous magic came at a price.
9. The more people she purified, the more curses that she had to take on.
10. She finally collapsed under her heavy burden the night before their final victory.
11. "...a curse?"
12. "What's that?"
13. "Oh... I'm sorry, elsie. I've said too much."
14. "Don't worry about it. It just means that the amount of time I spend sleeping gets a little longer every day."
15. "Is that really okay?"
1. "Hehe... If you're really that concerned about me, elsie, why don't you stay and sleep over tonight?"
2. "A sleepover with you? I-is that okay?"
3. "Of course! Why wouldn't it be?"
4. "B-but... I want to wait for the young lady to come back..."
5. "Don't worry, she'll definitely come visit me as soon as she gets back."
6. "Surely waiting here for her here is better than staying out in the cold main hall, right?"
7. "Well, when you put it that way..."
8. "Thanks for staying. I don't know why, but I feel much more at ease when you're by my side."
9. "The young lady and I will spend time with you every day if that's the case!"
10. "Hehe... Thank you, elsie. You really are a good girl."
11. "Would you like to be adopted into our family, then?"
12. "...!?"
13. "I'm sorry, did I startle you? I was just joking, though such a thought has indeed crossed my mind before."
14. "Even if I was up for it, you might not be willing to have me as your mother, right?"
1. "T-that's not it!"
2. "I just... Don't dare to think about that."
3. "It'd be like a dream to me..."
4. "That's great! So, you're okay with it, too?"
5. "Then you and my daughter would be sisters..."
6. "...I'm not okay with that!"
7. "Why not?"
8. "If we're sisters, then we can't..."
9. "Hehehe... You're such an interesting kid."
10. "I get it. We'll save this conversation for another time."
1. "I'm sorry, my lady..."
2. "There's nothing to be sorry about."
3. "After all, many things aren't just up to one's own wishful thinking..."
4. "...my lady? My lady!"
5. The length of time that the lady can be awake for is getting shorter and shorter.
6. "Has she... Always been this way?"
7. "Yeah. The duke's hired many physicians to examine her, but none of them can cure this strange illness that puts her in a deep sleep..."
8. "Why don't you leave her care to us?"
9. "You can head back to your room, miss elsa."
10. "No... I want to stay here."
11. "She said that she feels better when I'm by her side."
1. "Alright, miss elsa. Please give us a ring to send for us if anything happens."
2. "Okay."
