Chapter 77

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

‘Thank you,’ those are words of gratitude.

I never thought that just hearing such words of gratitude would feel so good.

“…Thank you.”

I thanked her for these warm feelings that I’m experiencing right now. I thanked her for these delightful emotions that I’m feeling right now.

Before I knew it, tears were flowing down my eyes.

“Hey, miss… How come you’re crying?”

Meryl curiously asked while still lying down on her bed. The Sister who was beside us all this time was just gently watching over us.

“Thank you, Meryl… Thank you so much…”

I gently hold her hand.

From the hand I was holding, I could feel a warm magical energy.

From that, I understood that she was trying to relieve me a little bit with her own magic.

Her magic felt warm.

“? If anything, I should be the one thanking you. Thank you so much miss.”

Meryl tilts her head and smiles at me.

Her smile makes it seem like she wasn’t completely depressed just before this.

“You’ve been lying down for a long time, so I’m sure you won’t be able to walk immediately. So let’s do some rehabilitation together, ok?”

“Ok!”

Since Meryl’s been bedridden for a while, some of her necessary muscles have probably degenerated a little bit. No matter how much I use magic to try to heal her, she wouldn’t be able to walk immediately.

But still, if she starts rehabilitation and we get her body to remember how to move again, I’m sure she’ll be walking again.

Especially since she’s still so young, I’m sure she’ll be able to walk again in no time.

“Thank you, Lyra. Thank you so much. I am so sorry that we can’t really do anything besides just express our gratitude for this.”

The Sister said while holding my hands. Tears were streaming down her face.

“…May I come here again tomorrow?”

“Of course. Please, come and visit.”

“Is Meryl ok?!”

“Meryl?!”

As I talked with the Sister, Raimu and Kaede barged into the room. Perhaps they overheard Meryl’s joyful voice after her treatment from outside.

They saw Meryl who was now sitting on the bed and rushed towards her.

“The lady over there healed me. I still can’t walk, but I can move my legs now.”

She stretched out her legs from her bed to show that she could finally move her legs a little. Seeing that, Raimu and Kaede smiled happily.

Seeing both Raimu and Kaede so happy, I couldn’t help but feel joyful myself.

“Thank you, miss.”

They both turned to me with a smile.

And expressed their warmest heartfelt gratitude.

It was a feeling that I’ve long forgotten, and it was slowly coming back to me.

“You’re welcome…”

Everyone has at least one person who worries about them. I’m sure it’s the same for Lord Edward as well.

If he were to die, I wonder who would be saddened by his death?

Ever since I have gained Rachel’s memories, I have always been wondering about what I should do. Should I really kill Lord Edward, or…?

But seeing these small lives shine so brightly as they did, and feeling the simple joy of being thanked for something…

If I were to kill someone, I’m sure that I wouldn’t receive or feel such heartfelt gratitude.

I won’t kill Lord Edward. No, I can’t kill him.

I… Need to get away from this assassination business…
