Chapter 97: Chapter 91 Are you sure this is what you drew?

The night was deep and silent,

Chirps of summer insects drifted through the window, a gentle breeze swept in, bringing a refreshing sensation to the bedroom.

Tonight's breeze wasn't so oppressive; a soft light glowed in the second-floor bedroom,

looking at Chiba Shimizu before her, Reiko Onodera revealed a mild smile, sat beside her, and whispered tenderly,

"Shimizu, no matter what has happened, you can tell me."

The girl must have brought her to the room on the second floor for a private inquiry—it had to be some matter that was difficult to talk about, right?

Her heart couldn't help but tighten in anticipation,

"Whatever you're facing, I'll be by your side."

Upon hearing Madam's gentle voice, Chiba Shimizu felt a sense of guilt for the first time, although these were well-intentioned lies.

It was infuriating,

She should have let Haruka Yuzan handle this; that guy was the best at deceiving others.
