Open your eyes.

A familiar ceiling enters my sight.

"That, I..."

Why, I was asleep. That doesn't pinch and rotates your head fully.

Sure, I wanted to go outside, and the gardener guys invited me, and --.

Reminds me that a gentle gardener man grabbed my hand and pulled it. That they threw annoying and abusive words at me. That I didn't like it, that I tried to take him even if I resisted. - That the samurai discovered it and was pushed away.

When I get up, the part I hit at that time hurts so badly that I become more aware that what happened then is real. At the same time, my body shuddered.

I was terrified.

What would have happened to me if the samurai hadn't found me then. Think about that, think about it, it was really scary.

How could that gentle gardener? Or was he originally hired as a gardener because he wanted to do something about me? Is that because I was cheating on the Divine Son?

I want to see Master Ninaev. Because when I met him, I felt a little less anxious. That's how I feel, trying to get out of bed. But my body hurt so badly that I couldn't move any further.

I don't know what to do, the door to the room opened when I thought so.

"Dear Alice! I'm glad you're awake."

What came in was a maid of honor who raised her voice witnessing me about to be taken. I was relieved just to see the samurai.

"I'm calling Master Ninaev!

And so the samurai left the scene.

Then came Lady Ninaev some time later.

"Alice, I'm glad you're okay."

Lady Ninaev gave me such a grin as a relief from the bottom of her heart. It was nice to know that you were really worried about me.

I naturally assumed that I would be gentle until I realized that I would be worried, but now I was just glad to be worried.

"Dear Ninaev..."

"Alice, I'm so glad you didn't get caught."

"... Dear Ninaev, how could that man take me"

……

"Because I was fooling the Divine Son...?

To the silent Ninaev, I asked terribly. Because that's what I thought I was about to see because I ended up cheating on something called the Divine Son. But Master Ninaev shook his head.

"No."

"Then why?

"... because Alice is so beautiful"

That's what Lady Ninaev said and went on.

"Alice is beautiful. So much so that I can still say that I will be called an extinct beauty in the future. As exciting as it sounds from me of the same sex. If you're so beautiful, there are many things that will try to take you away with evil emotions. There's a lot of malice in the world about people who want you in their hands, or about to sell you as a slave."

"Malice..."

"Yes. Alice has probably never touched that kind of malice much before. In the village where he was born and raised, Master Lernda, the Divine Son, lived beside him and as a special being. And since he was taken as a godson, he was strictly protected from malice. But there is no such strict protection here and now. You need to protect yourself. Alice... needs to know exactly how beautiful she is and how likely she is to be targeted by people. If you ever want to ask someone to do you a favor, don't bother."

That's what Lady Ninaev said.

My appearance is that it could attract such malice. That's why I have to defend myself if I have a desire to hear the favor of someone of mine.

"... that's why Lady Ninaev didn't let me out?

"Yeah, I am. Alice cheated on the Divine Son, and she looks beautiful. Because of those two things, it was highly likely that they would be targeted when they went outside. I was worried if I should dare show you reality, or if I should let you learn a little bit in the mansion for a while.... It's my fault I hired that gardener. Sorry, Alice."

"No, it's not for Lady Ninaev to apologize"

"Alice, you have learned that there are people who have evil feelings about you this time. And I think I thought it was horrible. But Alice's going outside means there's a better chance of encountering that kind of presence. Of course, that's not all the people in the world. However, some of them do have a clear malice towards Alice. Still, would you like to go outside? I think that's one option if you don't want to go outside. In that case, I can't help but wish to fulfill Alice's request..."

Master Ninaev asks.

He said if you go outside, you could be exposed to malice. Still, I was wondering if you wanted to go outside.

I think.

I was afraid they were going to take me. I was afraid that I was suddenly thrown a violent word.

But --.

"I want to go outside. I knew I just said it, so I want to ask you a favor instead"

I knew it.

I'm scared, but until now I've lived as I please. That's why I wanted to be the one who could fulfill the wishes of someone around me.

Master Ninaev laughed at my words like that.

"Then let's go outside one by one, thinking together about how to do it. At least if you go around saying," I want to ask you a favor, "it could be a pain in the ass."

That's what I said. I nodded at Master Ninaev's words.

- Sister, since I woke up.
