Leaving the pilgrim’s dormitory, I glanced back.
What on earth was Sophia-sama’s reaction just now? And Francesco’s response to it…
Sophia-sama reacted to the word “see”. Then she was scared of the “invisible” traces on the floor. What on earth did she see?
And why was Francesco so surprised by Sophia-sama’s reaction? Because what Sophia-sama saw was related to the secret of the monastery?
I thought about it and reconsidered the content of the vow.
The vow restricts all human senses: sight, hearing, touch.
Was Sophia-sama affected by it? But Sophia-sama is a visitor from outside. What is the scope of the vow in the first place?
Johanna advised
not to delve into the secrets of the monastery any further. Once you see it, it’s too late.
The vow is there to protect secrets, but it may also have been created to protect those involved with the monastery.
– Never look.
-Never listen.
-Never speak.
This is the so-called taboo at Stonehurst. If breaking it brings disaster, as Johanna says, then there must be sothing that can bring disaster.
Sophia-sama broke the taboo. That’s why she saw sothing terrifying enough to lose her sanity. Sothing I couldn’t see.
But then, when did Sophia-sama break the taboo?
The last thing I talked about with her was… the legend of the dragon slayer. Could that be related? Because I told her about it, sothing attacked Sophia-sama?
Then does the sa thing happen to , who heard the story?
A lukewarm wind blew from the vineyard. As if being blown by it, I started walking forward.

When I returned to my room, Amal was singing a song sitting on the bed with his eyes closed. His voice was high and clear. It made
feel calm and wrapped in warmth.
I listened quietly.
After a few minutes, Amal finished singing and slowly opened his eyes. He noticed my presence imdiately and blushed.
“Andy-sama, how long have you been there?!”
“Since halfway through. …I was surprised. Amal, you’re good at singing. I was completely absorbed.”
“…I’m embarrassed. You should have called .”
“I can’t do such a waste. I want to hear more.”
I sat down next to Amal.
“What’s that song?”
“This is… a lullaby.”
“…I see. That’s why it’s so calming. Do you know any other songs?”
Amal looked up at
with an indescribable expression.
“I’m sorry. I only know this song.”
“Is that so? Then, shall I teach you other songs?”
“Really?!”
“Yes, of course. But don’t expect too much. I’m not very good at it.”
“No! Andy-sama, you have a very sexy low voice. Just hearing you sing will surely make Amal faint.”
That’s what she ans, right? I instinctively pressed my brow.
“Faint, you…”
“It can’t be helped. It’s your fault for being too wonderful, Andy-sama!”
“Don’t be defiant… Maybe I should stop teaching you songs.”
“…Uuu, Andy-sama’s being an.”
Amal puffed up his cheeks like a squirrel.
“Just kidding. What kind of song do you want? Let’s see… How about ‘Hotown’?”
“Furu…sato?”
“Yes, it’s a song that everyone knows in my country.”
I slowly started singing. The nostalgic lody.
The first ti I learned this song was when I was in elentary school. mories of Japan ca flooding back to .
“This is the song called ‘Hotown’… Amal?”
Amal lowered her head and shook her shoulders. She couldn’t have really fainted. I beca worried and put my hand on her shoulder.
“Do you… want to go back to your hotown, Andy-sama?”
Her voice was like a lost child looking for her mother. I was taken aback by Amal’s words.
“…Well, I do feel like going ho.”
Amal shook her body with a start. She must have imagined a future where I leave Stonehurst.
“But if I go ho, I’ll take Amal with .”
“…Eh?”
“No, there’s no way I would leave you behind. Amal is my woman. Rember that. Even if you don’t want to, I’ll take you with .”
“…Ah, Andy-sama…”
Hearing my words, Amal shed tears. She wiped them away, but they wouldn’t stop. Large tears like rain fell onto her knees.
“Hey, if you wipe it like that, you’ll hurt your eyes.”
I gently grabbed Amal’s hand, which was wiping around her eyes. Amal nodded vigorously in response.
“…Andy-sama, please take
with you. Please take
with you too!”
“Yes, of course.”
“Uuu, Andy-sama, Sugi, I’m dying!”
She hugged
tightly, rubbing her head against my chest. She clung to
as if she would never let go. I hugged her back just as tightly.
