Cordelia gulped.

This was a surprising development for Cordelia since she had just wanted to secretly investigate the situation first, but Shelley ended up quarrelling with Mick.

She started talking about nonsense when we said that we were going to go buy some more sweets. She started yelling when we ignored her.

Mick said and sighed. Then, he bit on the candy in his hand again.

Its so bright out, so it wont rain.

Mick doesnt know that Shelley is the 『Dreamer Girl』. Cordelia didnt even know if he knew that someone like that exists.

Dilly?

Oh Sorry. The weather was it?

Reflecting on why Mick was strangely upset, Cordelia looked up at the sky to calm herself down.

It might rain. There are thin clouds in the sky, and its covering the sun. And, a black bird is flying low over there, right? The insects they eat are flying low because their wings are heavy.

She didnt care much, but if she paid attention, she could feel that the surrounding air was a little moist.

A bird? So, how do you know its going to rain?

Well, I can explain it to you, but if you want to buy sweets, then why dont you go ahead. Im heading towards Senseis house, so Ill explain it to you there if I have time.

What the hell, youre pompous. Well, if you say so, then Ill listen, but you have to explain it to me properly later. She said that she saw it rain in her dreams, like I can understand something like that.

You know, Mick. Thats not something you say to someone when you ask them for something, is it?

Heehee. Well, bye. Lets go! Ill see you later Dilly!

Cordelia waved at Mick and his friends who were running off and took a deep breath.

However, the words she heard right after that froze her blood.

Those kids didnt listen to what I said

Cordelia glanced at the girl who said that with a hint of annoyance.

Shelley was biting her lips as if she couldnt accept it.

Thank you for telling them about the rain.

Cordelia smiled at Shelley while trying to remove the stiffness from her voice.

It was scary for her to talk to Shelley, but she had to if she wanted to investigate her, and she didnt want to leave a bad impression on Shelley.

But Shelley looked unhappy when she turned towards Cordelia.

Why are you thanking me? Theres no reason for you to thank me. They only believed that it would rain because you said so.

But, if you hadnt said anything, then I wouldnt have been able to tell them.

She didnt think her words got rid of Shelleys frustrations, but she felt that Shelley had frowned less, and her hostility towards Cordelia had lessened.

(Well, of course. Its our first meeting. If 『Cordelia』hadnt done unnecessary things, then they wouldnt have had conflict in the game, and 『Cordelia』had been the one who was hostile towards Shelley.)

『Cordelia』had lost her life because she 『lost control of her magic due to her jealousy towards the Prince and Shelley』, so Cordelia didnt think it would happen to her, since she had been avoiding the Prince.

(If I sort this out, and stay away from Shelley, then Ill be able to live in peace again.)

Its probably difficult to not be involved with her, since shes from a noted Earl House like I am.
