“Excuse me, what is Lady Rohanson’s name?”

“Lady Rohanson? It’s Evangeline Rohanson.”

“Evangeline Rohanson…”

Why is he asking that? Rafaela suddenly felt an ominous feeling. This was… if she had to compare it, it was similar to when Gabriel had kissed Evangeline’s hand earlier.

“Captain, Lady Rafaela. The moment I faced her, I realized my destiny.”

No way, right? It’s not love at first sight or anything like that, is it? Rafaela prayed desperately that it wouldn’t be that.

“Lady Evangeline is an angel, isn’t she?”

This is even worse. Rafaela corrected herself. She’d rather he said he fell in love. That damn painting drove him crazy, making him want to jump into the painting saying an angel was waiting, and now he’s saying Evangeline Rohanson is an angel?

The problem was that this time there was actually a possibility it could be true. Even after hearing Daisy’s testimony, Gabriel and Rafaela couldn’t determine Evangeline’s true identity.

“It doesn’t matter if she’s not. When Lady Evangeline baptized me, I realized to my very bones who I truly should serve.”

Is he talking about that moment right before Michel fainted, when his eyes went wild? What Rafaela saw wasn’t a hallucination. Rafaela had witnessed the moment Michel became captivated by Evangeline.

Logically, if my body is on fire and some woman appears and pours water to put out the flames, I’d be grateful. Rafaela tried to understand Michel, but eventually her anger rose and she gave up on empathy.

“You crazy bastard!”

I’d just think gratefully. I could think she’s like an angel. But serve her? Baptism? That guy’s brain had definitely gone bad.

“Sir Rafaela, Sir Michel just woke up. Please calm down.”

Jeremiah covered Rafaela’s mouth and calmed her shouting. Michel didn’t even notice Rafaela’s anger and continued speaking.

“I can no longer remain as Lady Rachel’s knight. I will go where she is. I’ll ask Lady Rohanson to accept me as her guard knight. Would she refuse because it’s so sudden? Then I wouldn’t mind being a stable hand. I want to breathe in the place where she exists.”

Rafaela watched Michel practicing heretical worship right next to the Grand Temple and apologized to Lady Rachel on his behalf. Lady Rachel, that bastard is temporarily insane and acting like this.

“Captain, it looks like Sir Rafaela is about to collapse…”

At Jeremiah’s words, Gabriel called Michel.

“Michel.”

“Yes, Captain.”

The fact that he could still recognize people well even while crazy was at least better than before.

“You know how great a sin you’ve just committed against God, don’t you?”

“Yes.”

“Then stay here. Think of it as punishment from Lady Rachel.”

“I see. It’s punishment that I, who have come to serve another, still work here for Lady Rachel. Lady Rachel is indeed merciful. But are you alright, Captain? Being with a heretic worshipper like me?”

“I always respect you.”

“Captain! I respect you as much as Lady Rachel!”

Rafaela wanted to reform that rotten mind that just called himself a heretic worshipper but described liking the Captain as much as Lady Rachel. When he was possessed by the painting, at least they couldn’t communicate, which was somewhat better; now that they could talk, it was even more unbearable.

“Did Sir Michel just call himself a heretic worshipper?”

“Did he?”

Hearing Uriel and Seraph making comedy-like remarks behind them, Rafaela thought it would be better for her to go to the Rohanson Estate instead.

“It’s nice and cool today too.”

I’m lying in bed, using a fork to eat the fruit Hena brought me, enjoying a leisurely time. The clouds are gloomy and overcast, but a pleasantly cool breeze is blowing through the slightly open window. Is this perhaps heaven? I think I’m already dead…

“Miss, you’ll catch a cold like that.”

Kanna draped a shawl over my shoulders. Since the weather isn’t hot, this seems fine too. Oh my, our Kanna does everything perfectly without being told. When I stabbed a piece of fruit and offered it to her as thanks, Kanna blushed and ate the fruit.

And Hena, who was watching, should say something to Kanna as usual… She should say something…

I glanced at Hena’s expression. Hena was standing there blankly, lost in thought.

“Hena.”

“Yes, yes? Did you call me, Miss?”

Only after I called her name did she snap to attention. She’s not really sick, is she?

“If you’re tired, you can rest. Kanna is here too.”

“No. I’m fine.”

There’s no energy in her voice at all. What’s fine about that?

“Go and rest.”

“Yes…”

When I said it once more, Hena nodded and left the room. Hena has been in that state ever since returning from the Temple.

“Kanna. Is Hena sick or something?”

“She’s not sick. But she won’t tell me what’s wrong either…”

Kanna said sulkily.

“It’s definitely because of what that person named Daisy said. I should have asked for sure…”

Right, she said she heard something from Daisy. It seems Daisy isn’t just involved with the Male Lead and the second male lead, but also causes conflict with Hena.

So is Hena like this because of me? Damn… What did she hear from Daisy? Oh, right. There’s that paper Gabriel gave me. The translator should be fixed again by now. I should read it now. That way I’ll know what Daisy said to Gabriel and Hena.

“Kanna, could you get me that paper I received from Sir Gabriel last time?”

“It should be in the room. I’ll bring it.”

Kanna left the room and came back after a while. But her eyes were brimming with tears, so something seemed wrong.

“Kanna? What’s wrong?”

“Oh, Miss. I’m sorry, the paper.”

Kanna tearfully held out the paper. When I took it, I was shocked. The ink had smeared with water and all the letters were blurred.

“I think I made a mistake when washing clothes. I’m sorry, Miss. I’m sorry.”

Kanna was now acting like she was about to die. I don’t think she cried this severely even when she was kidnapped by Donau. Is the thought of me scolding her scarier?

“Kanna.”

“*sob*… Yes.”

“It’s okay. Would I scold you for ruining just a piece of paper?”

I’m quite upset, but I can’t scold the child for that. It was my responsibility since I was the one who entrusted the paper to Kanna in the first place.

Will I never know what was written on that paper for the rest of my life? I can’t go back to Gabriel and ask. Gabriel would ask why I couldn’t read it, maybe even ask if I’m illiterate. Evangeline is a romance fantasy noble, so there’s no way she wouldn’t know how to read! In the midst of confusion, a good idea came to mind.

“Daisy?”

“Yes?”

There is one more person I can ask. The statement was made based on what Daisy said. So I just need to find Daisy! Last time I met her after spending all my money on holy water, so I had no money to give her, but this time I’ll visit her with a large sum and apologize with cash. Money can’t heal emotional wounds, but it still helps.

“If I knew where that girl Daisy lives, I could visit her.”

“Why? Do you have business with her?”

Jelly, who had gone out for a walk, returned with perfect timing.

“Jelly.”

Right, Jelly has a past connection with Daisy. Wouldn’t he know?

Pudding jumped out of Jelly’s arms and climbed onto my lap. His kneading paws were very skillful. Judging by the claw marks on Jelly’s face, he must have had another good fight today with those paws. It’s fortunate that he’s a werewolf with fast recovery.

“Jelly, do you know where that girl lives?”

“No? How would I know that? But she knows I’m here, so if she needs something, she’ll come find me herself.”

Is this really the second male lead who went through hardships with Daisy…? He’s definitely a main character because he’s handsome and a werewolf, but the more I see him, he’s just like a piece of crap. No… is he a mutt?

Jelly also transformed into a wolf and climbed onto the bed, curling up in a ball. That’s a non-verbal expression meaning he’s going to take a nap now, so don’t talk to him. It seems I wasn’t raising a second male lead but a teenage son.

I can’t throw that thing out either. So what should I do? Should I ask Gabriel? That unhelpful thing… As I was clicking my tongue while looking at him, Kanna came up with a good idea.

“That person named Daisy used to work at the estate, right? Then couldn’t we ask the Butler?”

Pudding meowed as if that was the right answer. Our Kanna is so smart, I can only applaud. Very different from a certain unhelpful furball.

“Kanna. That was helpful.”

“Miss…”

Strike while the iron is hot – I should go ask right now.

“I’ll get ready.”

There’s no need for both of us to go interrogate the Butler about Daisy’s address. Kanna prepares for going out, I do the background investigation. Perfect division of labor.

When I got up, Pudding followed me around. I picked up Pudding and placed him in Jelly’s arms.

“Could you wake up Jelly while I go see the Butler?”

It’s really convenient that he can understand because he’s a beastman. When I petted him, Pudding purred contentedly. Ah… Even in this world, cats are truly healing itself.

“Don’t tell Hena.”

“Yes. I’ll just say we’re going out.”

I’m going to interrogate Daisy about what she said to Hena, so I can’t take her along. While I’m at it, I’ll also ask what she said to Gabriel. And give her money. Perfect.

What if the other party doesn’t want to see me? If this were reality, that would be the case. But this is a romance fantasy world, and Daisy is set up to appear frequently as an obstacle to the villainess, so it doesn’t matter. Though I do feel a bit guilty…
