TYPE-T PURSUER
Not again.
She was being followed. Lilly sensed their presence as she made her way through the streets, bearing a message. It was evening in Orario, but the sun’s orange rays failed to penetrate the cracks in the city that Lilly was roaming.
When had it all begun? Lilly got the feeling it was a few days after Braver’s proposal. A mysterious figure had been tailing her. Lilly could never catch a glimpse of whoever was pursuing her, but she could feel their unbearable pressure. It didn’t seem human. The skies above seemed the color of blood.
And then…she saw it.
She spun around and spotted someone silhouetted on a nearby rooftop—a woman with long hair that coiled like snakes.
Lilly yelped and broke into a sprint. Why had she come down these deserted streets in the first place? She realized it now, looking back—she had been led here, by someone waiting to spring a trap, and now that time had come. She was sweating all over as she ran.
Y-you’ve got to be kidding me!
They probably weren’t anywhere near as dangerous as that crazy elf, but there was an aura of murderous rage or jealousy or anger or hatred or…something, but whatever it was, it was bad!
“Oof!”
Gripped by fear, Lilly tripped over her own feet, but before she even got time to curse her own clumsiness, the shadow was upon her.
“Eek!”
“Explain,” they ordered. What the hell does that mean?! How was she supposed to answer? Lilly trembled, unable to spit out a single word. Then…
“What do you think of Finn Deimne?”
“I don’t care about him at all. I already have my heart set on someone else. Mr. Bell’s the one for me I love him and only him please help me Mr. Bell can’t you see I don’t have feelings for anyone else especially not Mr. Finn please you’ve got to believe me!”
Lilly cowered in fear as the tension drained from the snakelike strands of her attacker’s hair. The figure uttered only one word, “Good,” before walking away. Her life miraculously intact, Lilly collapsed in exhaustion and stayed there for some time.
“Mr. Bell?!”
“Huh?! What…what’s going on?!”
Lilly came running and tackled Bell full force. The traumatic event had regressed the prum girl to childhood, and all she could do was sob in the arms of the boy she loved. Bell stroked her head and tried to help her calm down, at least until Hestia and the others caught sight of it.
