Chapter 4

Why are you here……?

As soon as I saw the person standing at the door, I hardened.

“Hi……”

But for now, I also responded to her wishes. Then a radiant smile rose on her face. It was a woman like a dewy lily of the valley who visited my house. The thin and fine hair like silver thread was glittering transparently in the sunlight at noon, and the soft green eyes like freshly bloomed leaves were singing. Her eyes, which looked as if they were gentle with drooping tails, projected me in them.

“It’s so nice to see a woman of my age living right next door!”

As she said that, there was a hint of joy in her face.

“I’ve moved around a few times, and every time there was no one around me or my sister and her age.”

Tried to use Annmarie and tried to harm the story appeared. And they were punished for it in the hands of Lakis, the neglected villain-servant.

Of course that doesn’t mean he was good.

In any case……

It’s probably not her final destination, as Annmarie just said, “I’ve often moved before.” I’ve been looking back, but I can’t remember the address of the main character’s home in the novel. Still, at the beginning of the novel, she lived in a hot place where the male leads and side characters got in, so such a lonely place could not have been the main stage. Then at least next year or the next, the main character will move out. I don’t really intend to be close to her, but I thought I’d at least be a neighbor for a while.

“You can call me Yuri.”

“Oh my that’s a really pretty name.”

Arachne was the name I was given in the lab, and when I was living in the slums I didn’t have a name. So now I was using the name of my previous life.

“Well, by the way……”

Then, as if remembering something she had forgotten, Annmarie asked me a question. But somehow she couldn’t talk easily.

“……I hear there’s a ghost in my house, is that true?”

When I heard her question, I lost my voice and didn’t know how to respond.

“Of course I don’t believe in superstitions like that, but I’m afraid my sister will be scared when she hears about them……”

But her cheeks were a little flushed, so I didn’t believe it. I told her without hesitation.

“Don’t worry—it’s a false rumor.”

The reason it was rumored to be a haunted house next door was because of me. But I couldn’t say that. It’s a rumor when I moved here for the first time, but it’s gone on too long. However, she was relieved to hear that it was not true.

“Is that so? People said that this house had been empty for a while before I came in. I guess that’s why there’s a rumor.”

While listening to her, I felt a prick of conscience that I had been lost. After all, I was so nervous that I wanted to buy a house like this. No one has entered the house for about a year and a half because of the rumor that ghosts are coming out. Oh, maybe that’s why she bought the house a little cheaper. But when Annmarie said that, I had no choice but to stay silent.
