Chapter Index

    “Ugh…”

    Lily was lying on the floor, touching her face.

    But fortunately, the ball was a soft rubber ball, so it didn’t seem like he was seriously hurt.

    “Excuse me… Are you okay?”

    “Yeah… I was just a little surprised.”

    Lily answered, sitting up from her seat.

    Even though he must have been in pain, the smile never disappeared from his face.

    My heart ached.

    To think that I would have to deceive such an innocent and cute child.

    no.

    I had to trick Lily into doing it from now on.

    You have to be determined.

    “I’ll throw it a little slowly.”

    “Yes. I guess I’ll have to do that.”

    When I held out my hand, Lily grabbed it and stood up.

    And so the game of ball began again.

    It was a very boring pace by my standards, but Lily had a great time running around and playing ball.

    Heh heh – Even though he was breathing heavily as if he was having a hard time, the smile did not disappear from his face.

    He runs up to me, picks up the ball, and throws it to me with a loud shout.

    “Hey!”

    The ball flying like that was so slow.

    After catching the ball that flew towards me, I threw the ball back to him.

    A very slow ball, with a lot of power lost.

    Lily ran over again and caught the ball.

    “Is it fun?”

    “Yes! It’s really fun!”

    I think it would be a good idea to take Lily too.

    As I thought that, I raised my hand as I watched the ball Lily threw.

    Lift it slightly at an angle, so that the ball bounces off.

    Immediately after, the moment the ball touches him, he jumps high.

    “Yep!”

    The ball that touches your hand bounces high into the sky.

    The ball, which had been spinning round and round, went over the fence and fell outside.

    “Ouch! The ball!”

    Lily opened her mouth as if she felt sorry for the sight.

    “Don’t worry! I’ll get it!”

    I never intend to do that.

    Just going to pick up the ball.

    I keep thinking about it.

    Moving your legs, stretching your arms, and kicking the ground.

    I kept thinking about that.

    So I climbed up the wall.

    “Jeff, it’s dangerous!”

    “It’s okay!”

    My heart wavered a little at the sight of Lily worrying about me until the end, but the ball came first.

    So I jumped off the wall.

    Knock knock.

    I stood still and tapped the floor with my feet.

    Came out.

    I left.

    I got out successfully, without any problems.

    I did it!!!

    I raised both my arms in the air and let out a silent cheer.

    “Jeff Yang~”

    From beyond the wall, Lily’s voice, full of worry, could be heard.

    I shook my head and picked up the ball that had fallen to the floor.

    Now it’s time to say goodbye.

    “Lily!”

    “Huh?”

    “I found the ball!”

    “Really? Come in quickly!”

    “I’m sorry! It’s time to say goodbye now.”

    “… Huh?!”

    Lily let out a high-pitched scream, as if startled by my words.

    But there’s nothing I can do.

    I had to go back home.

    As I picked up the ball that had fallen to the ground and hurled it over the fence, I heard Lily let out a short scream.

    “Ouch!”

    It looks like it fell on my head.

    It was the moment when I was about to turn around and run away.

    “Jeff!!!”

    There was a sound of footsteps thumping beyond the wall, and Lily appeared in front of the large front door.

    Lily, hanging on the other side of the door, reached out to me with a tearful expression.

    “Don’t go!”

    “Lily. I have to go back.”

    “Ha, but… but…”

    “I’ll come back again when I have the chance.”

    “Really…?”

    “Yeah.”

    “But if you leave now, your mother will be very angry.”

    “I can’t help it. Kelly brought me here without my permission. I’m just going to leave.”

    “Oops…”

    Lily sat down on the floor with a sullen expression on her face at my words.

    It was really sad to see them go, but it was time to part ways.

    I waved my hand and turned around.

    I was so anxious that I wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

    I was so scared because of Kelly, who could pop out anywhere at any time.

    “Take care!”

    After finishing his last words, he hits the ground.

    Phagejik-

    A blue current starts from the heart and flows through the entire body.

    The moment the current that had escaped like that enveloped my body, I was running down the road with the light.

    There wasn’t a single vehicle on the road that could impede my speed.

    How long did you run like that?

    I stopped in my tracks and looked around.

    I don’t know where District 1 is, but it seemed like a fairly large area.

    Because of the large buildings, I couldn’t even see which direction the gate was, so I wondered if I was running in the right direction.

    I sat down on a nearby bench and took out my cell phone.

    Could it be because I left Kelly and Lily’s house?

    Fortunately, the phone was working normally.

    I called Amy right away.

    Tillyrik-

    [Jeff?]

    “Mom!!!”

    My heart sank at Amy’s action of answering the phone as soon as I called, as if she had been waiting for me.

    [Where are you? Where are you now? Are you hurt?]

    “I heard it was Zone 1. And no one was hurt.”

    [Zone 1…?]

    “Yes! So please help me quickly!”

    […Jeff, is there no way you can get out of there?]

    “Umm… I was driving on the road, but I don’t know which way to get out of this area. I don’t see any gates.”

    I jumped up from my seat and jumped up onto a tall building.

    Even though I climbed so high and looked far away, I couldn’t find anything that could be called a gate.

    “Umm… I really don’t know…”

    He answers weakly and slumps down in his seat.

    I wanted to see Amy quickly.

    I wanted to be held between her large breasts and cry to my heart’s content.

    “Location tracking is impossible here?”

    After I asked the question, I waited for Amy’s answer.

    But there was no answer.

    “Mom…?”

    I stared blankly at my silent cell phone and muttered.

    The call was disconnected.

    I quickly tapped my phone.

    But the call never came back.

    What on earth is going on?

    I sighed and got up from my seat.

    This is because the phone that was connected until just now is showing an out of range sign again.

    If you don’t know, just go straight.

    I jumped off the building and gained power.

    Phagejik-

    The moment the blue lightning surrounds your body, you quickly shoot out, kicking off the outer wall of the building.

    If I kept running like this, I was sure I would eventually reach the end of this area.

    It was while I was running continuously like that.

    I was startled and stopped in my tracks when I saw the person who suddenly appeared in front of me.

    Kelly White, a girl with long red hair, was glaring at me.

    “Kelly White!”

    “Jeff. How did you get out?”

    She continued speaking, tilting her head and reaching out to me as if she found it really strange.

    “Let’s go back. It’s dangerous here.”

    “This sex offender! You came after me to do something bad to me!”

    I screamed, my teeth chattering at the sight of Kelly’s persistence.

    Then Kelly’s eyebrows twitched.

    “Show me what a real sex offender is…?”

    “Oops…”

    I quickly stepped back at the sincere remark.

    Kelly sighed at the sight of me and started to come closer.

    But I wasn’t foolish enough to get caught again.

    He immediately kicks the ground and turns his body.

    But I had no choice but to stop right away.

    Because Kelly was standing right in front of me as I was heading towards her.

    “Ahh! Just now…! Just now…!”

    “You were just standing there?”

    Kelly was looking at me as if she had been standing there the whole time.

    What on earth are Kelly’s abilities?

    Are you really saying I can’t run away from Kelly?

    I took a slow breath.

    Kelly had an ordinary body, no different from Lily’s, except for her abilities.

    You could tell by looking at his walking form and his body balance.

    So, what I’m saying is, you just have to move when she’s not aware of it.

    I immediately got the ability…

    “Caught.”

    Oh, my.

    “Shall we go back?”

    It was the moment to use the ability.

    Why is Kelly, who was clearly standing in front of me, coming next to me?

    And when did you grab my shoulder?

    The power in Kelly’s hands was so fragile.

    Enough to be able to shake it off and run right away.

    But, the next moment, I was back at the very beginning.

    The room where Kelly first brought me.

    I blinked at the sudden phenomenon.

    What on earth happened to me?

    “Playing ball with Lily is now prohibited.”

    Kelly left those words behind and turned around to walk away.

    There was a large door in the direction she was heading.

    As Kelly walked, she opened the door and Lily appeared in front of her.

    Lily, who had been standing there with an anxious expression as if she had been waiting, ran over to me as soon as she saw me.

    “You’re back!”

    “Ah. Yeah…”

    I nodded with a trembling expression.

    We promised to meet again next time, but I didn’t know it would be this quick of a reunion.

    “My mom is really angry… I don’t think I can play ball anymore…”

    Kelly muttered with a sullen expression.

    I sighed deeply.

    It seemed like it would take more time to get out of here.

    “What should we do now?”

    Lily asked me with shining eyes as Kelly disappeared.

    I patted Lily’s head and said.

    “Is there a computer here?”

    “A computer?”

    Lily blinked as if she didn’t know what I meant.

    “I mean, a computer. A computer.”

    “So what is a computer?”

    I opened my mouth in a daze at Lily’s words.

    Because I couldn’t believe that in this day and age, there was someone who didn’t know how to use a computer.

    “If you need that computer thing, I’ll ask my mother.”

    “Oh, no! It’s okay…”

    “Are you sure it’s okay?”

    “Yeah…”

    Lily giggled at my answer and came close to me.

    After playing with him a few times, I seemed to have really liked him.

    “Lily. If you don’t mind, could you show me your house?”

    “Oh. Of course. Just trust me.”

    Lily answered my words, pounding her chest.

    I nodded at that trustworthy appearance.

    That’s how my and Lily’s exploration of the mansion began.

    “Where did Kelly go?”

    “Mother must have gone to her room.”

    “I see.”

    “Do you want to see your mother’s room too?”

    “No. No, that’ll be later…”

    “Then shall we go to my room first?”

    “Wasn’t that place you were just in a room?”

    “That’s my studio. It’s the room I use to draw pictures and make dolls.”

    “You make the doll yourself?”

    Lily smiled brightly and nodded at my question.

    “Of course! The Freddy you saw earlier was also made by me!”

    Lily was surprisingly very dexterous.

    All of those teddy bears were made by Lily, even though she wasn’t very good at drawing.

    Lily was so excited to show off her room that she spun around and ran.
