"Whew~~~"

Back in his room, Saitila, who had always maintained an optimistic appearance, finally sighed uncontrollably. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In Hugh's room, he said so, but all he could do was give him encouragement...... Thinking of this, Saitila, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but feel lost, turned over, and buried her head deep in the pillow, as if only in this way could she forget her troubles.

"You're going to die. ”

However, at this moment, a voice without a trace of emotion came into his ears...... It looks like a girl's voice, but the voice is cold.

“！！！”

Frightened, Saitila scrambled and got out of bed.

Looking around, there is only one person in this room, who is making the sound?

"You're going to die. ”

The unfamiliar voice continued.

Following the source of the sound, Saitila noticed that it was her own doll that made the sound.

Mother gave her birthday gift, back to the room, because of the mood, Saitila directly threw it on the bed, at this moment, leaning on the head of the bed, because of the inertia caused by the throwing, the doll's body is naturally crooked, but also because of this, looking at his doll to his own eyes...... There is no vividness at all, as if looking at a dead thing.

No, the doll doesn't have eyes at all...... Because the doll's eyeballs are not just ordinary glass ball craftsmanship?

After repeating her words, the doll stopped talking, and the silent doll made Setilla wonder if she had just had auditory hallucinations...... After all, it is impossible for a doll to make a sound?

"You're talking, Tia?"

Setila stood up and called out cautiously...... At this time, she felt very ridiculous, and actually greeted her doll, but in fact, it was!

The doll didn't reply, but it had already been answered.

As he got up, the doll's eyes, which were supposed to be dead, began to roll in their sockets...... The bright, godless eyes shone on Setira's slightly frightened face.

"Are you scared?"

The doll's lips were sealed with sewing thread, but the words were clear, cold and emotionless...... Just like her beautiful pupils, which are blank.

Reason tells Setilla that it's time to run away!

However, Saiti couldn't pull it, and his legs seemed to be sealed......

"No...... Don't be afraid!"

Taking a deep breath, Saitila plucked up her courage and said.

"Why?"

"You were a birthday present from my mother...... We've been friends since we were six, haven't we?!"

As if to give herself confidence and courage, Saitila shouted loudly.

The doll fell silent, and Setilla didn't know what she was thinking, because the doll's expression never changed.

After looking at each other for a long time, in this calm and almost depressing atmosphere, Saitila was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

"Yes, we've always been friends. Without Setila's hands, the doll's head was automatically straightened back.

As the doll's words came out, the atmosphere in the air seemed to become less oppressive.

Friend!

This word calmed Saitila's heart, and then her legs weakened and she fell to the end.

"Tia, you...... Have you always been alive?" Unable to stand up due to the sudden start, Saitila had to crawl back to the bed on her knees.

"Alive?" the doll was still staring at Setila, but it was different. This time Setila didn't think the doll was so scary. "I am a dead thing myself, and I have never lived...... If you want to understand that, then you can do it too. "It seems that the support head is too tired, and the doll's head tilts back again.

"Why do you speak?" the delicate doll was picked up by Setira.

"I've been listening to human language for a few years now. "Listen, listen, listen.

"Why didn't you tell me before that you could speak...... Scared me. The crisis passed, and Setila grumbled with puffed cheeks.

"Because it's not necessary. Slowly, he raised the soft puppet's hand and pointed it at the heart of Her Royal Highness the Princess. "But now, you're going to die. Said lifelessly.

“...... What do you mean. ”

"Literally, you're going to die. ”

"Why did I die?!"

"You have a contagious disease...... That person infects you. "It's hard for the doll to lift the hand, but it's very natural to put it down. "You, you will, die!" the cold words carried an affirmative meaning.

Will die......

"Tia, you just said the time has not come...... And now the time has come. "Setila has a keen grasp of something.

"Because you are my master. ”

"So, surely you have a cure for this disease?" Setilla asked hopefully.

It's 'to cure the disease', 'not to cure yourself'.

The doll's pupil focus changes slightly...... What was already expected.

"You can heal Hugh, can you?" asked Setilla anxiously.

Compared with before his own life was in danger, the first thing that came to mind was his childhood sweetheart...... own lovers.

"You're going to die. ”

"As long as Hugh is saved, then it doesn't matter what happens to me!" a determined look appeared on his face. "Tell me, Tia, you can take a break, can you?!"

The doll was silent for a long time.

"Yes. ”

"Great!"

Setilla had a look of surprise on her face.

Sitting for too long and her legs were numb, Setia wanted to get up, and she wanted to tell Hugh the good news now.

"Conditionally. At this time, the words of the doll in his hand came again...... No longer looking at Setira, the doll's pupils returned to their original shapes.

"Is it a medicinal herb? I'll order someone to find it!"

"Offerings. ”

“...... What sacrifice?" said Setira, with a bad premonition in her heart.

"The lives of ten young girls. Without a trace of emotion, he said this, and at this moment, at an angle that Setilla couldn't see, the doll's blue pupils turned dark green.

Hearing this, Saitila was stunned, and her body involuntarily retreated to the wall,

Silent, Her Royal Highness pursed her lips.
