Drop!! ～A Tale of the Fragrance Princess～ (WN)

That door is never like opening with the wind.

The ghost surprised the open door without any sign of a person, and at the same time turned his back on Cordelia to see if his mind had been shredded. But that's not why the vigilance has loosened. So I can't take any far-fetched action - but Cordelia understood the situation nonetheless.

(This, Jill's sorcery...?

I know Jill will use witchcraft that won't enlighten his opponents of the signs. I don't know any sign of Cordelia either, but otherwise it's unnatural. And the bracelet borrowed to meet it seemed to react warmly.

(Why did you really come alone...!?)

But the thought that made me want to inquire that way, in an instant, I wrote it off my head.

I just found out why, and things aren't going to change now. In the first place, we have to take our current situation off to ask. Besides, it's true you appeased with surprise. By and large, there's no way Jill hasn't predicted any danger or trap.

(Then...... you can't miss the good opportunity you made)

Cordelia immediately activated the sorcery when she judged so, chopping the rope.

At the same time the door was closed with a loud noise. I guess it was because of unexpected phenomena before and after me, a moment of stray in the ghost movement. Seeing it, Cordelia accidentally raised the edge of her mouth that the operation without a meeting was a success.

But soon the ghost also set his aim on Cordelia, who was less powerful than himself, rather than exploring unexplained events. Has it added to the rage accumulated until then, when the ghost movement was no longer felt to try to hurt Cordelia rather than to take her hostage? Cordelia put magic into her arms, which still hardened and remained paralyzed. I'm not as good at witchcraft as I am at interfering with plants, but I've also learned to be protective. You may need to be ready to break a bone, but if it's an attack from the front, you just have to believe that it's bearable once or so. That should create a gap behind the ghost.

(In the meantime, I'll leave it to you, Dear Jill...!!)

But the next moment, when the dull sound sounded indoors, the ghost was on one knee on the floor. But still, the ghost jumped aside before it collapsed, hitting his arm against the window and trying to secure his way out. But the window never opened.

The ghost opened his eyes to the matter, pounding his tongue, and had an unprecedented look of haste.

(Window won't open...? Is this Jill too...? The look on this ghost's face, because he can't escape...?

The ghost had retreated before being disadvantaged himself.

I can't admit a struggling situation - it also seemed that way. But after a beat, the ghost laughed, and the wind rolled up in the room. And the wind destroyed the lamp and turned off the indoor lights. At the same time Cordelia's vision was anointed with darkness.

(Bad)

If you're a ghost, you can pack your distance from Cordelia in just two seconds.

Cordelia was upset and in a hurry to deal with her invisible opponent, but soon afterwards she groaned. And one thing stopped waking up.

(... what happened?

Cordelia is confused, but I still can't feel any sign of disgust from inside the room. Was that the voice of a ghost? I was surrounded by warm, but firm strength when I thought so. It was a feeling I already knew.

"Now, I made it"

I still couldn't see my surroundings due to the darkness, but the sound of Karan Karan and his face rolling on the floor reached my ears.

"Why are you here?"

"Because Lord Rufina told me. I told Vernault and Clive because I just can't go without telling anyone. When I said I was going, I was really pissed off."

"Of course."

"But if something happened to Dili after I sent someone who wasn't me, I couldn't say I wouldn't go."

"But it's too dangerous"

"If I thought I had a cause for doing dilly in a place like that, I couldn't stay or not"

"Totally... you said that Master Rufina would be king of His Highness..."

Nor could Cordelia afford to care that there were more plundering voices than she thought. I was just relieved.

"Just a moment, wait. I'm just passing out, so I can't leave you alone, and the lights have to be on."

And away from Cordelia, Sylvester took a round ball out of his nostalgia and placed it on the floor. The balls emitted light, illuminating the room. That's all I saw, I remembered Jill used to make me Planetarium.

But what is illuminated in this room now is not in the form of a star, but the appearance of a ghost who is unconscious and falling. Sylvester shackled an unconscious ghost.

"I wonder if I can get away with the magic seal and the rest by the time I get backup because I'll keep my legs tied for once. Half an hour after I left the castle, Vernault, who's playing" Sylvester, "is sending soldiers."

"Master Vernault to Your Highness?

"As you can see from what you've done to make me Jill, the Marquis Frantheim family is good at the magic of change. Vernor himself can be transformed into maybe anyone.... Vernault said, 'If you don't come back, Vernault will die, Your Highness won't die'. You're not gonna tell me to do it all the time, are you?"

"... I have to apologize when I get home"

"Yeah."

I know very well that even Verno-like light mouths were worried. Most importantly, if I knew that Vernault risked his life for me too, I wouldn't know what a thank you to tell him.

"More than that, Dilly's not hurt, is she?

"... Yes"

No injuries. But even if I understand that Jill and Sylvester are the same person, I still feel uncomfortable being called Dili by Sylvester. If it's Sylvester, it's still hard to behave like it's Jill.

The air seemed to have passed on intact, and Sylvester smiled small and bitterly.

"After I hand over the ghost to the guard, I'll send it. I just... I really think I should send it right away, but I really just want to go somewhere. It's a little rough on the road, but it won't go far, and rather it'll be a way out, so it'll be faster to get home."

"Is that...?

"Starry hills. Remember?"

Cordelia looked overlapping with a twelve-year-old Jill smile on Sylvester, who laughed a little lightly.
