"My lord, Tsukuyo has made up her mind."
"Tsukuyo knows her own body very well."
"There is no need to examine it anymore."
"Tsukuyo's body is like a broken vessel."
"No matter how much water you pour into it."
"What leaks out... will always be more than what stays."
"Being brought into this world with your great hopes placed upon me... and holding on until now has already been a blessing from you."
"If this continues, the longer it drags on..."
"The more clearly Tsukuyo feels."
"That her body is about to give out..."
"It can no longer improve."
"It will only gradually hold everyone back."
Tsukuyo Inaba's voice was very soft, her enunciation especially clear.
But after she said those words.
Tsukuyo Inaba's eyes visibly dimmed.
Haimo had intended to offer her some comfort.
But then.
Tsukuyo Inaba lowered her head even further.
Her voice grew quieter too, as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
"Also..."
"About what happened last night... Tsukuyo heard it all too."
"Hm?"
Last night?
Haimo froze, not yet grasping what she meant.
"Although there was a wall between us..."
"Tsukuyo heard every sound of Amou and my lord fighting, loud and clear."
Tsukuyo Inaba continued to explain.
"..."
At this point.
Haimo also realized what the problem was.
-Although the mansion was quite well soundproofed.
Tsukuyo's hearing allowed her to hear the sounds of monsters in the Dungeon.
In other words...
Sasamori Aya's hours-long rampage last night...
Had all been heard by Tsukuyo, loud and clear.
He thought of how, while she rested in her room on the second floor last night, he had fought Sasamori Aya without any restraint, even making an even bigger racket.
"I'm sorry."
"I disturbed your rest last night, Tsukuyo."
Haimo made no excuses and promptly apologized to Tsukuyo Inaba.
