Rustle—
The bushes swayed, and a figure emerged.
It was a little girl with black hair and deep eyes. Casually holding onto a pastry, she tossed it in her mouth and wiped her lips.
Her eyes squinted slightly as she savored the sweet pastry.
Num...
Her form started to shift.
Her height started to increase, and her expression started to mature.
Gradually, the silhouette of an extremely charming woman began to unfold. Glossy black hair, deep hazel eyes...
"...."
Delilah blankly stared at the scene in front of her.
It was a gruesome sight. One that would cause the normalest of people to feel sick.
Lying beside a mushed-up body was none other than Julien.
The Black Star.
She recalled the scene she witnessed, and only a thought crossed her mind.
".....He's weak."
That he was weak.
But...
"His mind is not."
It was strong.
Very strong.
