Chapter
A Man in Despair
Three days had passed since Kuuga had arrived in this world. He still could not leave the altar chamber, and the only one who visited him from outside was Kurone. As usual, the food Kurone brought ranged from nearly spoiled at best to downright rotten at worst. Since Kuuga refused to touch it, the portions had gradually been getting smaller. Thankfully, since then, Keiry had regularly brought him fresh fruit, allowing him to go without eating the other food. Kurone, unaware of this arrangement, had…-

Another World
As the man approached, Kuuga regarded his face closely, frowning at a sensation he knew all too well. Behind that gentle smile was a sharp mind calculating profit and loss, an individual who would not hesitate to betray another if it suited him. Moreover, he was greedy—a miser through and through. Kuuga, able to discern a person’s nature at a glance, let out a sigh of dismay. Could this man possibly be the Kurone Ada had mentioned? Oblivious to Kuuga’s thoughts, the man smiled softly and… -
The next day, when Kuuga awoke, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. Despite the ominous feeling that had haunted him the previous night, he distinctly remembered climbing into his own bed, in his own room, as always. Had he been abducted in his sleep? Kuuga had been asleep in a place that resembled a stone temple. The steady sound of flowing water caught his ear, and when he turned his gaze to his right, he saw water gushing from a floral relief at the back, forming a spring that extended to…

Chapter
Prologue
Kuuga Tsukimiya had possessed an uncanny ability to see through others since he was a child. He could discern the true nature of those around him, distinguish between those he could trust and those he could not, and choose his friends accordingly. He didn't quite understand himself how he was able to tell, but once he sensed that someone was the type to betray him, there was simply no way they could ever become close. Naturally, wise and perceptive people gathered around Kuuga, and at school he was…-

"What on earth are you saying!" Jill raised her voice in anger for the first time since she started living in the mansion in the Forest of Temptation. "I would never treat someone like you again! Never come here again! I would also refuse any stage costume production!" "H-hey, why are you so angry?" Brandon looked at the apothecary’s face as if seeking help. But the apothecary only let out a sigh. In the awkward silence, perhaps noticing Jill’s loud voice, the others entered. "What…-

It was bad. It was bad, bad, extremely bad. "D-damn it, someone, call a doctor……！." It was Maureen who immediately responded to the manager’s scream. She went out of the private room at once and caught a waiter to explain the situation. Carol, flustered, carried chairs and tables to the corner of the room. She probably did it out of consideration for when the stretcher arrived. Jill wasn’t able to move immediately. It was not because her judgment had been slow. It was because…

It had been overwhelming, to say the least. Jill had honestly underestimated it a bit. She had watched stage plays many times during her time living in the royal castle. She never found them very interesting. The purpose of the performances had been to please the king and queen or to avoid displeasing them, and they were not meant for the other audiences. The content had been peppered here and there with praise for the current royal family and policies, and frankly, it would not have been…

The storm had passed. It didn’t show much fury, and although leaks in old houses was frequent, there was no major damage such as flooding of rivers, overflow, or building collapse. It seemed that even the residents of Shelland felt relieved, walking through the sunlit streets. The faint sound of carpenters’ hammers and laughter, summoned to repair the leaks, reached the shop as well. "Hey, you! Can you try making my stage costume? I will pay you handsomely!" Among this atmosphere, Brandon came…

On that day, it rained quietly outside. It had been a day with unusually high humidity compared to usual, and an unpleasant degree of discomfort. Perhaps because the atmospheric pressure had been low, Carol, who had been organizing fabrics and clothes, had not been in top form either. "It’s a weak rain now, but it seems like a storm will start tomorrow. Haah, how annoying." Carol muttered such words quietly. "It can’t be helped this time of year every year. Autumn is close, after…
