"Morning, Jill."
That's what I told Jill when I just woke up.
Jill looks at me blurry with her thin eyes open.
"Alicia?"
"Yeah, it's me"
"The bed is fuzzy..."
Sure, Grandpa Will's bed has a stiff mattress.
Looks like Jill's still asleep.
"What is this place?
"It's my house. And this is Jill's room starting today. You can use whatever you want."
When I said that, Jill opened her eyes.
Oh, I think I caught your eye.
"Mine!?
Jill never had her own room.
Jill looks over the room with her eyes open.
"Come on, hurry up and support me. You have to go to the magic school today."
"Starting today?
Look at me as Jill solidifies.
"Yeah, I know you know that because you've read about it in books, but there's a Virgin in the School of Magic."
"The Virgin who is said to bring peace to that world? I'm really here."
"I'm really here. So, what I'm about to tell you is absolutely secret. Of course, it's a secret to my brother."
Jill nodded deeply.
He's looking at me with serious eyes. His intelligence appears in those eyes.
It's really comforting that Jill's always with you.
I took a small breath.
"I was chosen as the Virgin's watchdog."
"A watchman?
"That's right. Determine if the Virgin has the wisdom she deserves to be at the top of this country, and I'll guide her further so she can make the right decision."
"Wouldn't that make Alicia a very good person? Alicia wants to be a bad girl, doesn't she?
Jill tilts her neck small.
"If you change your perspective, I can be a fine bad girl. The Virgin is loved by everyone."
"The journey. So if Alicia tries to make the Virgin make the right decision by using harsh words and horrible things, Alicia will be seen with bad eyes."
That's what I'm talking about.
I laughed.
It's a boulder jill, it's really good to know.
"Come on, get dressed there"
"What role should I play?
I didn't think that far...
Well, if I were the worst girl in the world, that assistant would be smart and..., honestly, whatever, right?
"I'll leave it to Jill."
"I'll try to behave the way I deserve as a bad girl's assistant."
"Can you follow me around with all my bad girls?
Jill laughed bitterly when I said that to make a mild fool of him.
"Who do you think I am? And Alicia was pretty amazing when we first met."
That's true......
I can't find a word to say back.
Jill's going to be my ideal bad girl's assistant.
"And I have to tell you that you're from a poor village."
"Okay."
Jill nodded, saying so.
... You grew up to be an honest kid. Hey, I'm glad.
The first impression I had when I met him was a hopeless, emotionless eye.
"Come out when you get dressed. I'll wait outside my room."
That's what I said and left the room.
