「What?」
「I have something that I want to ask about」
Her voice sounded very uneasy, but as though she had resolved herself, she was staring at Harold.
Thinking whether there was any question which made her stop him so spiritedly, Kazuki inwardly tilted his neck.
His doubt was cleared away by the next words she spoke.
「There is a rumor that you burnt a servant to death. Is that true?」
(Ah, it’s about that, huh)
Kazuki calmly accepted Erika’s question. He wasn’t flustered or agitated.
This was because 2 week ago when he had guided Erika, at that time itself he had felt that it would shortly be exposed. Since Kazuki and his parents didn’t feel like hiding it. Rather, there were no signs of it not getting exposed.
And from the start, the answer regarding that was already decided.
「No, you’re wrong」
「Then……..!」
When Harold clearly denied it, Erika stepped forward with an expression as though she was glad.
The girl, who seemed as though she had discovered a strand of hope, was pushed down to the bottom of hell by Kazuki (Harold).
