Kyrie had changed.

[Again?]

Nathaniel, who was coming back from outside and passing by the drawing room, asked MarryAnne. MarryAnne cried,

"Yes, from the morning......."

Nathaniel opened the door straight after knocking three times. Kyrie stopped as she tried to break the window with a chair. She was dressed in a fancy dress as if she were protesting.

"You're early."

[What are you doing?]

"I'm afraid it's going to break."

[It's magic. It won't break.]

"There's no tree that doesn't fall (by hitting) ten times."

[The window is not a tree, Kyrie Buchanan.]

With Kyrie's face that seemed to be saying to throw it one last time, Nathaniel chose to split the chair with a sword. Now he didn't even hesitate to take out the beautiful white sword.

A man with just a short legs of chair, Kyrie looked down in the opposite direction.

"It's neat."

She threw it away without regret and sat on the bed and started reading.

Nathaniel checked the bowl on the table and flicked his finger. Immediately MarryAnne's body was pushed out of the room by an invisible force.

[Kyrie.]

The bookshelf went over without an answer.

[You skipped meals again.]

Kyrie covered her face with a book on purpose.

Nathaniel knew that Kyrie Buchanan was very stubborn, thanks to his experience over the past few months. So he approached Kyrie with a dignified walk, lifted her up and loaded her on his shoulder.

"Kyaa!"

Kyrie shrieked low and struggled with her arms. Nathaniel smiled as he narrowed his brow to the ornaments that hit his face, realizing that Kyrie wasn't just struggling, but was trying to hang a self-defense joint.

[Buchanan taught you everything.]

"Don't be rude while I'm reading."

[You haven't eaten since yesterday.]

"Since yesterday, I said that I have no appetite."

Nathaniel sat her down at the table, ignoring Kyrie's words. As soon as he saw the table with Kyrie, she frowned and turned her head.

"I feel like throwing up. MarryAnne, please put this away."

[No.]

Nathaniel squinted.

[Eat.]

"I don't want to."

[You'd better eat it when I come out like this.]

"Human beings get sick if you force them to eat."

[Humans die if they don't eat.]

"Then I'll die."

Kyrie answered calmly. It was a word without a single hesitation.

Nathaniel looked down at her, who had lost a noticeable amount of weight in just a week.

[Eat.]

"I don't want to."

Kyrie shrugged her shoulders.
