Interlude 3 Layla Hatfilia (Part I)

August x777, Hatfilia Manor. X

Surrounded by hills and forests, the villa's supposedly warm and peaceful surroundings are now covered with a gray veil.

All the servants who were busy in and out had an indelible sadness on their faces, and at the same time they had to carefully deal with the increasingly grumpy man.

The reason for all this is that the beautiful and kind lady of this manor, the woman named Layla Hatfilia, is getting weaker and weaker.

No one thought that since she went to the royal capital one day in July, she not only lost her magic as a star spirit magician, but also paid the price for her own 'future'.

And as time went on, the young lady who had anticipated her imminent life had even begun to prepare for the aftermath......

It's just that just as her life entered the countdown, this home that was about to fall apart welcomed a special 'guest'.

……

"Hah...... Call...... Ha......! ”

For the first time, without following the etiquette teacher's instructions for the eldest lady's behavior, a little blonde girl of about ten years old broke into her father's study without knocking on the door and obtaining permission after galloping through the brightly lit corridor.

"Whew...... Call...... Father-sama!! ”

Panting, the blonde girl found her target at a glance, and then shouted with great excitement.

Being disturbed like this, the middle-aged man with a frown in front of the desk naturally wouldn't notice it.

After a moment of surprise, he was still working and immediately reprimanded him sternly.

"What are you doing!! It's so uneducated! Lucy! ”

"Hmm!"

The angry father made the blonde girl Lucy instinctively feel timid, but she still met the other party's disgruntled glare and said the words she wanted to convey in person.

Because this time, it was about her favorite mother.

"yes, I'm sorry!!"

"But just now Uncle Gardener said that there seems to be an 'old friend' of my mother outside, and he is still talking and talking!"

"It's possible to cure my mother's illness!!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man stood up from his seat with a 'rub'.

You must know that for Layla's 'illness', with their family's money and power, they have almost all the smart doctors, and there is still no one who can alleviate the symptoms.

Could it be that this 'old friend' came here on purpose when he heard about this?!

Showing a little expectation, the middle-aged man did not pursue his daughter's gaffe again, and asked her to calm down first and speak clearly.

The blonde girl who got Yun Ke naturally spoke happily.

It's just that the more he listens, the closer this man's mood gets to the bottom, and his face turns blue.

Brown-haired, fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with a broom, whose name she had never heard before......

“…… That's enough! ”

“!”

A fist slammed on the table, and the middle-aged man rudely interrupted his daughter's speech.

"Ahh But......! ”

"I said enough! Didn't you hear?! ”

"Uh-huh!"

The hideous roar made the little blonde girl shrink in fear and stand in place.

As a young girl, she didn't understand why her father was so angry.

“…… Tell the next person to get her away. ”

Spread down on the cushion in a dejected manner, as if knowing that he had scared his daughter, the man who slowed down his voice rubbed his eyebrows and gave the order to evict customers.

The reason is very simple, he doesn't think that his wife will have such an age difference 'old friend', and he has seen too many kinds of 'capable people' these days.

This person is certainly no exception, nothing more than coveting their family's wealth.

Even the most famous magician doctor in the kingdom who was invited before said that Layla's 'illness' has exhausted......

After all, that's ......

……

[Really? If you say so, then I'll take my leave. 】

“!?”

An invisible voice suddenly echoed in the study, causing both of them to raise their heads in surprise.

Someone came here from the 'long journey' on Sirius Island, and waited outside for so long without a response, she had to let go of her magic to 'find answers' and goals by herself, but she didn't expect to 'hear' such a reply.

If it weren't for the fact that the patients here also suffer from a lack of mana caused by overdrawing their life force and using magic, and because she was also a good star spirit magician, the brunette girl wouldn't have had such a good interest in making a cameo appearance as a doctor.

And for her, if she succeeds in saving her, it is a good fate, and if she can't save her, it only means that her 'experiment' has not yet reached the expected goal, and she will go back to 'research' for a few years.

Anyway, what she has now is 'time'.

As a result, he was actually regarded as a 'charlatan'?!

All right...... Liars are liars, people still have to be saved, and there is only one such 'case'.

However, just as the girl was about to show her hands and make a gesture, the whole villa area suddenly became agitated.

It wasn't caused by the sound of the magic just now, but because of ......

The hostess here is critically ill.

……

It shouldn't be a problem with her using magic to shake the space when she positioned this area before......

Someone is a little weak right now.

"Layla......"

"Mother's ......"

"Madame......"

Looking at the pale woman on the hospital bed, all those who had been informed and qualified to stay in the room had sad faces.

The magician doctor, who had been taking care of the woman, suddenly told everyone to prepare their minds, and there was no need to say anything about what was going on.

Although I knew that this day would come sooner or later, I didn't expect it to be so soon.

It's so fast that the two, who are husbands and daughters, can't adapt at all.

……

Get out of the way. 】

And just when everyone was immersed in this sadness, the voice that could not be refused sounded behind everyone, like the meaning of the words, making a way for someone.

Walking in through the doorway was a blonde girl with a single ponytail dressed in a strange white style that no one had ever seen.

[All go out from here.] 】

Consciousness was deprived in an instant, and everyone forgot their sadness like marionettes, and walked towards the door with empty eyes.

"Hoo ......"

“…… Okay, now that the 'clearance' is over, we have to start the 'treatment' as soon as possible. ”

"This gesture is not suitable for the current 'me'."

As if talking to herself, the blonde girl's body glowed with a pale golden light.

Receives the soul of an elf all over the body.

Black and white magic threads envelop the body.

The wings and vestments that appear represent an identity that does not belong in this world.

Then the angel held out his hands.

An emerald green glow looms.

Now that the preparations are done, the next step is the main thing.

Whether it can be the first key to save her depends on whether this attempt can be successful.

"Psalms of Life ......"
