"Of course, I miss Lady Charlotte."

Noticing Lyra's flushed cheeks and the disheveled sheets behind her, Astrid might have wondered if the girl had been up to something strange, if she hadn't known that the protagonist was, at her core, a pure and innocent girl.

As it was, Astrid couldn't help but feel she had interrupted something.

"Are you going to take a shower?" Astrid asked.

Lyra blinked, caught off guard, and quickly nodded.

"Y-yes... I'll wash up in a little while..."

The girl silently prayed that Astrid wouldn't notice the quilt.

In the end, Lyra's prayers still had a certain effect.

Astrid didn't seem to care about the other party's somewhat messy bed and simply said lightly, "Come with me," before leading Lyra to the next room.

Upon entering the bedroom, Lyra noticed Elise was already there.

Astrid slowly sat down at the desk, picked up a potion given to her by Tristan, and placed a handbook filled with notes to her right.
