Chapter 56
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Hideout
As Sheila emerged dimly into consciousness, her hearing became clearer first, before her sight.
“??Why are you bringing extra trouble? With only one child in your arms, it would have been easy enough to run away.”
“Ehhh, because he’s funny. I wanted to take him back.”
“He’s not a dog or cat that you can just bring back…..”
The light-tongued voice sounded familiar. It was the black silver-haired boy she had confronted in the back alley.
There was a hint of childish madness in his cheerful laughter, and it was easy to see that his curiosity was fleeting.
It was fine as long as he was laughing at funny things, but as soon as he lost interest, he would change his attitude.
Her vision, which had been hazy, was gradually becoming clear. She had thought that the reason she couldn’t see clearly was because she had fainted, but it seemed that the room itself was dimly lit.
She felt the touch of wood on her cheek, probably the flooring. Sheila was lying on the floor somewhere indoors. Her arms and legs weren’t free, perhaps because she was restrained by a rope or something.
