SAh.
I hear Sakuras growl. Is she still thinking about sothing?
Oh, that.
A voice from behind. Lilia turned around and said,
Ive had enough of this. I dont think anything I say will have any persuasive power.
No, no, thats nottrue.
I just want to say this one more ti.
One by one, I looked at the faces of the female students. Everyone had a frightened look on their face, but no one looked away from .
Tina is a dear friend of mine. I dont want you to ever touch her again. Next ti, I will show no rcy.
Everyone nodded gravely. Lilia confird this and waved them to go. One by one, they bowed their heads and left the room.
After waiting for everyone to leave, Lilia sighed slowly. She rembered what she had said to the girls and scoffed to herself.
SNo, its not like that. Lilia is doing her best now, so shes very convincing.
LI wouldnt have done that either if Sakura hadnt told to.Oh, thats right. Sakura.
SWhat?
LI wonder why Im doing this for now.
SOh.
After waiting for a while, Sakura speaks,
SFor the future, maybe?
LFor the future?
SYes. If Lilia is adored by many people, the risk of being crushed by soone else will decrease.
The possibility of being crushed reminded her of when she first heard Sakuras voice, she had said that Lilia would be destroyed if things continue as they were. She wondered if that was still going on.
SWell, its still a long way off and theres one more thing: be prepared because I dont know if its going to happen.
There was no way I could know what she was talking about, and I knew imdiately that she would not answer if I asked. Lilia gave a small sigh and tapped the table with her finger. Alisa imdiately started to prepare the tea.
LSakura. Because I believe in you.
S.Dont worry. Ill take care of it.
Sakura spoke in a serious voice.
There are still many things I dont understand and havent been taught, but I decided to accept it for the ti being.
Next day when I t Chris in the classroom she said that the person who pushed Tina down was not given a major punishnt, partly because of Tinas wishes. The punishnt given was called spirit watching. This ans that the person will be watched by a specific spirit from now on until his or her death.
This may seem like a heavy punishnt, but it is also a very light punishnt because it has no effect on normal life. However, if a person does sothing that the spirits deem evil, he or she will be punished imdiately.
This punishnt is recognizable by its appearance because it causes a distinctive bruise sowhere on the body. Naturally, it is a stain on ones life and in the case of this female student, unfortunately, the bruise was on her face. Lilia learned of this when the student ca to apologize to her.
I dont know what to say.
She will have to live with the finger pointing at her all her life. It might have been better for a noblewoman to have died but she laughed and said she had it coming to her.
If you have nowhere else to go.Co to .
Yes..I will be happy to assist you then.
The female student bowed her head, looking sowhat pleased.
Since then, things have been peaceful. The harassnt of Tina has ceased, and she called Cynthia back to her room. She still cant see Tina, but other than that, she is at peace with herself.
SRay is still gone, too.
LI guess Im free today, so I should look around a bit.
SMay I ask about the aning of study day?
LSakura, life is a learning experience just by being alive.
SIve heard that before, havent I? Well, its okay. Lets go!
For so reason, Sakura suddenly beca enthusiastic. I wondered about that, but it was convenient if she wouldnt stop . I finished my tea and was about to leave the room when,
Wait, wait!
Lilia sighed in disgust and turned around. Part of the ceiling had shifted, and Cynthia was peeking out.
Cynthia, is it urgent?
No, no, thats not why Im here.
Cynthia said, her voice faltering. She would not make eye contact with Lilia.
I dont think its a good idea to call out from the ceiling when its not an ergency, do you?
Oh, yes. I am sorry. But, that.
As expected, I was a little irritated, ignored Cynthias words, and headed for the door.
In front of the door, Tina-sama!
My eyes et Tinas, who looks sowhat nervous. We both froze and silence fell over us.
Hahaha!
Sakura was laughing. She seems to be trying to hold it in sohow, but it was leaking out completely. Then Lilia imdiately thought of the reason why Sakura was so eager to go out.
LSakura, you noticed, didnt you?
SAhahahaha!
Sakura only laughed.
That was the clear answer but Lilias eyebrows furrowed in disapproval, and Tinas expression hardened when she saw it.
Oh, Im sorry. Im not mad at you. Im just angry at soone else for not reporting it sooner.
Lilias words were referring to Sakura but from the point of view of Alisa and Cynthia, who did not know that, they thought she was referring to Cynthia. Cynthia hung her head as if depressed, while Alisa looked at her in dismay.
Now that youre here.Co in. Ill at least offer you so tea.
Alisa smiled and started to prepare the tea, and Tina entered the room with her face still tense.
