Jill frowned at my words. Apparently you don't understand what I'm saying.

Surely, you do find it confusing that I would make such a statement that I thought my wicked little girl would stand out if I were next to Mr. Liz, the super good guy.

"I don't just need you to pull it off, I need you to take more action from yourself."

"I think Alicia's already taken enough action."

"What I'm looking for is more than that."

"How far up are you going?

"Everywhere. Everywhere I go."

Jill solidified for a moment in my words, but then immediately lifted the edge of his mouth and smiled.

"... I'll follow you, too."

"I'd be comfortable with Jill, but I'll do my plan on my own this time"

"Huh? Don't you want me?

Jill stares at me with her eyes open.

For Jill who wants me to need it, my words just now sucked......

"Jill wants me to be Mr. Liz's watchman on my behalf."

"... I don't like it"

Oh, what a surprise. Jill might have said he hated me for the first time.

You're just a kid... Well, I'm just a kid, too. This is just my discretionary decision. I should go to Lavar country alone. The dangers vary considerably between acting suspiciously alone and acting suspiciously together.

"What the hell are you trying to do?

That's what Jill said as he turned a serious eye on me.

... I can't tell you that I'm going to be expelled from the country myself. Jill's a good kid, so he'll see what I can think of. I need to hit my hand before that happens......

What am I supposed to do?

Jill looks at me like she wants help. It's not up to me to decide what Jill will do.

"Jill, you don't want to be with me, you want to be the one standing up there, right?

"I want to stand with Alicia"

I don't know, I feel like I've seen a young Jill for a long time. Something I've been getting busy with lately and losing my cuteness. Jill feels like an old boy now.

"I can give you a chance. But I'm not the only one taking advantage of that chance, Jill. Don't worry, we're both in the same place."

"Where?"

"Up"

That's what I said as I pointed my index finger at the ceiling.

We're always on our way up, and we'll see each other one day, even if we're away. Besides, it's not like we're going to die. I'm just gonna take a little trip. Well, there's no guarantee you'll be back in exile...

"Don't worry, there's Jill on my way."

That's what I said and gently stroked Jill's head.

"... I knew I couldn't beat Alicia"

That being said, Jill sighed lightly, with a full smile.
