Bob, bob, bob. Let the water carry me. Bob, bob, bob. It's so hard, I don't think I have any strength left! Maybe I'm dying. Well, anyway, I can't move.
- Aaaa... Uuu...
I can't talk. My throat burned? Then I, Liliana, am just a pile of meat. At least I didn't drown. Fortunately, my minstrel costume is so skimpy that there's no way for it to soak in. I float with the current, floating on the water. Maybe I'll get to Tigracy River? And then further, into the world! Relax, I'm not short of time, heh, heh, heh.
- Eee-eee-eeee... Eh-eh-eh...
But that tower was on fire. The fire fried me pretty good. All in all, it was a good thing I fell into the water first, because at least I could cool off. But it was nice! Now I am already cold, even icy, but in a while I will stop feeling it anyway. Eh, what a fate. Well, madness. And speaking of crazy, Singing at the top of a tumbling tower was just that! For a moment I was like some kind of goddess! So now what? If I drown, what happens? How have I lived my life? There was so much more I wanted to accomplish. but if you think about it carefully, I succeeded a lot. For example, even though I didn't give a performance that would go down in history, maybe something from just now will stay in their hearts? Maybe they will at least talk about me? Some family will sit down at dinner and someone will say: "That was a nice song, wasn't it?" That would be something. Some trace of me would be left behind.
- Oooo-ooo...
I try to squirm because maybe someone will notice me and save me. I don't want to die! But I'm already running out of strength... Well, I've lived an interesting, pretty fun life. Well, bob, bob, thank you for the consideration...
- Liliana!
- Huh?!
I was already falling asleep exhausted, but someone is calling me! Oh, he has jumped into the water and is swimming towards me! I am grabbed by surprisingly strong fingers....
- Mr. Kiritaka?!
- How glad we are to meet, Liliana! You looked beautiful drifting on the water, but after such a great effort you can't get cold or your throat will suffer yet!
- But... but... Mr. Kiritaka...
He looks different... His hair is wet, he is without a jacket.... How smiling. He saved me just before drowning. Gosh, it's too good to be true! But it got weird!
- Uh... What happened to you? The Archbishop said she captured you... She was protecting... And then I heard that she hid you in the crowd...
- Oh, I don't know how to explain myself, it was very strange. It's like I suddenly lit up with anger....
- Ho, ho! Not nice, Mr. Kiritaka!
So she wasn't lying. At least that's it! Oh, boy! I never want to deal with her again!
- But... how come you're here?
- Your song set me free, Liliana, my beautiful Songstress!
- Hiiii!
But he said it nicely! And how he looks at me! And how he smiles! His hair is so wet...
- Thanks to your song, all those poisoned by the evil power of the Archbishop woke up from their trance. And I was the first to run to find you. I guess you could say that's proof of love!
- How cheeky...
Phew... somehow I feel lighter. Now I can relax... relax...
- Liliana? Liliana! What's wrong with you?! Liliana!
- I could say nothing, but just the opposite. I'm very sleepy... I'm going to take a nap for a while... I've had enough...
I guess it sounds like I'm going to die. But no, I have no intention of leaving this world! I just calmed down. I'm comfortable in Mr. Kiritaka's arms.
- Please take care of me...
- All right! Okay, I understand! I'll take you to a safe place, don't worry, Liliana!
- Just please be polite while I sleep, and don't touch me ugly. Then we'll talk...
- Eeece!
He won't do it anyway, but I thought I'd tell him just in case. Because, after all, I am a pure girl. But when I wake up, I'll tell him a few things. For example, that I'm glad to be his Songstress.
