Chapter 16

Translated by Momo & edited by Mary

“I feel like someone is watching me…”

Cecilia muttered while looking up at the ceiling. Her thoughts drifted away as she laid on her assigned top bunk bed.

She also felt like someone was staring at her when she was with Oscar in the first-aid tent. She thought she might just be overreacting, but during dinnertime with all her classmates, Cecilia was convinced that there was ‘someone observing her.’

“Who is watching me…?”

At dinner, there were just too many people around so she had no idea who was staring.

Cecilia sat up and looked down at Oscar, who was preparing to go to the communal bathhouse.

“Hey, Oscar!”

“What?”

He looked back with an annoyed expression. Perhaps he didn’t want to be called out right now.

Cecilia continued talking without any regard for his feelings.

“I feel like someone is watching me …”

“I’m not watching anything!”

He rashly answered back in a spontaneous reflex, frightening Cecilia.

It really made one wonder why his cheeks were suddenly flushed.

“I know that.”

“I-Is that so…”

While turning his gaze away, he hastily packed his bath towel.

“By any chance, did you notice anyone staring at me? Especially during dinner. You were next to me, right?”

“No, I didn’t notice anything…”

“I see.”

(Maybe the 'Killer’ has tracked me down?)

She didn’t know their objective, but the 'Killer’ was definitely trying to eliminate the Saint candidates.

It seems like nobody has been sacrificed in this world yet, but there’s a possibility that the 'Killer’ who failed to assassinate the candidate with the Azalea mark noticed Cecilia’s disguise early on and came to kill her.

(There wasn’t any event like that in the game, but it’s been so crazy until now, I don’t know anymore…)

It could be that the third candidate might already be dead, but it just wasn’t mentioned in the newspapers.

Feeling a little scared, Cecilia climbed down the bunk bed ladder and stopped next to Oscar.

He kept looking away.

“Besides that, what about bath time? If you don’t get ready soon, you won’t be able to enter the public bath.”

“Oscar is surprisingly used to commoner’s habits.”

“Huh?”

Oscar looked at her with a puzzled face.

“I thought a real prince wouldn’t go into a public bath.”

“Who wouldn’t enter in this kind of opportunity?”

“Well, that’s right, since everyone here is from the nobility.”

In fact, a school camping experience is a very rare thing in an aristocratic society. Cooking, cleaning, and shared bathing are not common behaviours for most of the students.

(Though, I would actually love going into a large bath with everyone else.)

But that wasn’t possible due to her current situation.

“I’m skipping it! I’ll just take a shower here later!”

“Ah, really?”

“Oh, perhaps…did you want to go together?”

He might be a “sauna buddy” enthusiast. She had no hidden intentions and simply asked with that pure thought in mind, but he suddenly choked up.

“W-Wh-What are you even talking about! There’s no way I was thinking about that!”

“If you desperately deny it like that…”

“First of all, I have Cecilia! Someone like you… someone just like you…I–”

(Why would he mention my name like that now?)

Oscar was trembling while blushing fiery red like chili pepper.

Cecilia couldn’t understand anything he just said.

“I’m going out now…”

Oscar muttered with a tired face.

Cecilia nodded once.

Upon that, an unnatural noise came from the window.

“Eh!”

Looking back in a hurry, her eyes met with a black figure staring at her. 'That’ turned their bloodshot eyes towards Cecilia.

“Kyaaaaaaaaah!!”

She paled as if all the blood was drawn from her body in fright, and she jumped and tackled Oscar’s waist while hugging onto his back.

“Ack!”

Because of Cecilia’s tackling momentum, Oscar’s head collided with the door. A terribly painful sound resounded in the room. “HEY! Cecil!!”

“O-Oscar! J-just now! Someone was peeping…!!”

Cecilia pointed at the window, still attached to Oscar’s waist.

“Huh? Where exactly? There’s nobody anywhere.”

“Eh?”

Still horrified, she looked back at the window. As Oscar said, no one was there.

“Eh? There isn't…?”

“And we’re on the third floor. How would someone come all the way up here?”

Cecilia opened the window and looked around. It was dark outside and she couldn’t see too far ahead, but nobody seemed to be there.

“But…”

Perhaps he heard Cecilia’s heartfelt tone and felt some sympathy, Oscar also decided to come to the window and check.

And he was surprised at what he found.

“Hey, Cecil.”

“What?”

“No matter how much of a crazy guy you actually look like, you would never go in and out of this room through here, right?”

“Of course, I can’t do that.”

“Then, look here.”

Oscar pointed at the ledge under the window.

“Eh?”

Implausibly clear, someone’s footprints remained there.
