90.

After finishing my bath, I entered my room.

Click.

The door closed, and the sigh I had been holding back came rushing out.

“Hah…”

Getting to my room had been a series of tremendous ordeals.

First, as soon as I entered the house, I ran into Soren.

“You’re back.”

However, he soon looked at me with eyes that said I was strange.

Well, of course he would…

“…Siena, did something happen?”

“…”

“Your face is so red it looks like it might burst, and your eyes are unfocused.”

“…”

“Did you encounter a wild boar on your way here?”

Fortunately, Soren, who was hopeless at romance, couldn’t even imagine that I might have received a confession.

And along with him, the maids also found me suspicious.

‘Of course they would.’

I had never failed to manage my expressions this badly while living in this house.

‘Because nothing like this had ever happened before.’

That’s why the maid asked while helping me bathe.

“Um, Miss…”

“…”

“Did you really encounter a wild boar? How big was it for our Miss’s face to be…”

Though I had become the wild boar encounter girl again.

‘Logically speaking, why would a wild boar appear in the middle of the city?’

But why was I in such a dazed state?

It was because…

It was because of what Johan had said to me just before we parted.

“I would like to formally ask Willow for a date. But since it’s late at night, I shall withdraw for today.”

He took a step closer to me and carefully took my hand.

“I will visit you at the Center soon.”

“…”

“And today at the Center… No, it was an honor to escort Lady Siena Willow.”

“…”

“It’s dangerous for a beautiful woman to walk the streets alone. Thank you for giving me that opportunity.”

Then he smiled and kissed the back of my hand.

‘Even thinking about it again, he’s like a madman.’

Anyway, this was why I had become a woman who survived an encounter with a wild boar.

‘No… how am I supposed to come to my senses after receiving a confession from Johan!’

I stood in the middle of the room and clenched my fists tightly.

“This is really unbelievable…”

In that state, I thought carefully.

‘What kind of feeling am I experiencing right now?’

‘Of course I don’t feel bad about it.’

No, it felt good.

Even though I had given up on Johan, I had heard him say he liked me.

‘How could that be unpleasant?’

But somehow…

‘It seems like a different emotion is stronger.’

I stuck out my tongue and moistened my lips.

Then my eyes widened.

“…I got it. It’s absurd.”

Yes, it was absurd.

‘How can he change his heart from liking Violet to me?’

This was what I couldn’t understand.

“I’m not prettier than Violet, and my personality is just ordinary…”

I couldn’t guess what point about me had caught his attention.

‘I’m a realistic person, you know.’

How could someone like me accept this ridiculous situation?

I went and sat at the vanity.

When I faced myself in the mirror, my doubts grew even more.

“Even after seeing Violet, you… like me?”

Still, having received Johan’s confession, I briefly thought this:

‘What is this? Oh, do I look okay today?’

But the me reflected in the mirror was just the same old Siena Willow as always.

So I came to this conclusion.

“…Did all the male leads in this game world collectively malfunction?”

I’ve only met two out of thirty, so I don’t know for sure, but.

‘Both Lian and Johan.’

Already two of them were experiencing errors.

Why are they flirting with me when there’s a peerless beauty available…

‘Right, this is an error.’

There must be something wrong with the game system.

“Why did I have to possess such a strange world…”

I shook my head and walked to the bedside.

When I sat down, the bed creaked and shook.

I relaxed my body and lay down.

Johan’s face floated on the ceiling.

“I would like to formally ask Willow for a date.”

I muttered while retracing his words.

“A date…”

It was true that I was happy to receive Johan’s confession.

But that didn’t mean my heart was swayed.

I only felt grateful, but I didn’t want to try something with him or develop our relationship.

“Well… I guess I could manage a date somehow.”

Honestly, what’s so special about a date?

Meeting, having a meal, drinking tea.

Or taking a walk in the park and having a pleasant conversation.

‘It’s not that difficult.’

But…

“…It would be better not to do it.”

Because.

‘My heart is with Lian.’

If I went on a date in my current state, I’d be deceiving Johan.

‘I haven’t sorted out my feelings for Lian yet… I don’t want to do that.’

I didn’t want to hurt him.

Especially because it was ‘Johan’ and no one else, I didn’t want to do that even more.

“Sigh…”

Another sigh that burst out circled through the air.

Suddenly, I thought of Lian.

“…I wonder if he’s okay.”

He must have called a doctor for treatment, right?

‘Right, he’s not alone and Roderick is there…’

Still, I was worried.

From the Center to the carriage, and until arriving at Aizet Baron’s mansion.

The amount of blood Lian had lost kept flashing before my eyes.

‘No matter how much that man is like a steel statue.’

Even if he can’t feel pain.

‘He’s still human…’

I was concerned that today’s events might have damaged his health too much.

‘If they let Lian come to work tomorrow, neither Chase nor Roderick would be human.’

I sat up from where I had been sprawled on the bed.

I rested my elbows on my knees and propped my chin in my palms.

“What should I do.”

I was worried about Lian.

No…, if I’m being honest, I wanted to see him.

‘Should I go visit him after work tomorrow?’

Then I suddenly realized and shook my head.

“Ah…, what am I saying.”

I had decided to bring Lian and Violet together.

‘After saying that in front of Violet, I can’t do something different behind her back.’

Reality had dawned on me.

‘Then how can I take care of him while maintaining appropriate boundaries?’

While I was pondering, the scene at my desk suddenly caught my eye.

Paper and pen were neatly arranged there.

“…Right.”

I stood up abruptly.

‘I could write a letter.’

A letter.

Going to visit him would be too obvious, but doing nothing would leave me feeling uneasy – this was the most appropriate action for this situation.

I immediately sat down at my desk and began writing a letter.

Scratch, scratch.

The soft sound of the pen touching paper arose.

“…That man is so indifferent.”

He’s someone who can’t even take care of his own body properly, so I’m writing this.

“Everyone thinks they’re the most normal person in this world.”

“…”

“So… to Lian, Lian is the most normal.”

“…”

“Lian isn’t strange.”

He’s just a foolish person who doesn’t know even the most basic and simple things.

“So me worrying about him…, isn’t strange.”

I muttered excuses that weren’t really excuses.

Even though there was no one there to listen.

***

–

To Lian de Vicelle,

Hello, Lian.

This is Siena Willow.

Of course I know you’re not well, but I’m still greeting you like this.

Otherwise, I don’t know how else to start a letter.

↑You’ll probably laugh at this too, but don’t laugh.

I’m not a funny person, you know?

Well…

No. I won’t write unnecessary rambling.

How is your body?

Did you receive proper treatment?

Actually, it would have been better if you had gone straight to the hospital for treatment as soon as we left the Center.

You unnecessarily insisted on strange things…

Lian isn’t a strange person, but your refusal to go to the hospital earlier was strange.

I’m telling you this because you seem not to know, but normally when people get hurt, they should go to the hospital.

That’s what hospitals exist for.

You understand? So don’t be stubborn about such things next time.

Don’t come to work for a few days and focus on recovery.

Make Chase do some work.

That person needs to work a little.

Not seeing Lian… will probably feel a bit empty.

Because Lian was always sitting on the sofa next to me.

There’s absolutely no other reason.

Don’t misunderstand.

Anyway… don’t overdo it and rest well.

I hope we can see each other soon.

Sent by Siena Willow.
