“Mi, Miri, are you okay?! Does your head hurt? Should I call a doctor?!”
“No, please don’t! Please don’t speak so kindly to me! I’m not worth it…!”
Charlotte-onesama looks at me with a worried face.
Please leave me alone. Don’t be nice to people like me.
Why didn’t Onesama cut me off?
Why didn’t she just throw me in jail?
“What are you saying all of a sudden?!”
“I’ve caused Onesama so much trouble, I don’t deserve to live. So please leave me alone…!”
“What—?! Miri… Your memory…?”
Onesama looks at me and seems to know that my memory has returned.
Onesama, do you understand?
How ashamed am I that I remember my actions?
One way or another, I must die—.
I-I think there was a bottle of poisonous water in my room that was set up in case a rat got out.
If I drink it all at once—.
“Miri, what are you doing? Is that—!?”
“Onesama, Thank you for everything…”
“Miri! Stop it! Miri!”
I gulp down the liquid in the bottle.
A~ah. I’m slowly losing consciousness.
Finally, thank you very much. Charlotte-onesama.
For being so kind to me.
I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you—.
—○█○—
“…I-I’m still alive, aren’t I?”
“Miri! You’re such an idiot!”
When I woke up, Charlotte-onesama had tears in her eyes and she was yelling at me.
Oh, I can’t help but feel grateful that she is angry with me now.
However, I wonder what the logic is behind my being safe after taking the poison…
“I could predict that when Miri-sama regained her memory, she would surely want to die. So I gave her a bottle of sleeping pills, telling her they were poison. to calm her down.”
You are Anna.
Anna gave me the poison to kill the rats, didn’t she?
I couldn’t die, could I? But the desire to die hasn’t gone away at all—.
