By the time Lillian regained her senses, the sight of the colossal, brightly lit city beneath her left her completely dazed.
Countless lights flickered within the city, and the endless skyscrapers left her breathless.
Numerous new things she had never seen before filled her vision.
Her face was a mask of astonishment.
The massive metropolis below was easily ten times more luxurious than the Tsumuguri City she had lived in.
Just what kind of world was this?
Wait, now was not the time to be lost in wonder.
The situation was urgent, and she had to find the playful Lady Charlotte at once.
With that thought, Lillian attempted to use magic detection to perceive Lady Charlotte’s presence.
However, she sensed nothing at all, as if Lady Charlotte did not even exist in this world.
She assumed there was a problem with her magic detection.
After all, the population of this metropolis was vastly larger than Tsumuguri City.
Picking out the tiny Lady Charlotte from such a crowd would be no easy feat.
Lillian abandoned her magic detection and began searching with her own eyes.
However, she flew over the city for half a day without finding any trace of Charlotte.
This world seemed to lack any magical energy.
In a place where she couldn’t replenish her reserves, continuing to expend magic to search from the sky was an unwise choice.
Consequently, she descended into the city and headed toward the streets to search for tracks.
Fortunately, although the script of this world was entirely different from her original one, the pronunciation was mostly the same.
Communication with the people of this world would not be a problem.
Despite this, Lillian asked through several neighborhoods but still failed to obtain any useful information.
Just as she was sinking into frustration, a figure walked briskly past her.
– “Yukina, that girl… why did she have to catch a cold now of all times? This is just causing me more trouble!”
It was a boy who looked perfectly ordinary and unremarkable.
But for some reason, Lillian felt a sudden sense of déjà vu.
Lillian immediately grabbed the boy’s hand.
His hand suddenly caught, the boy turned his head with a look of confusion to stare at the blonde girl dressed in a maid outfit.
Although this blonde girl was quite cute, unfortunately, this boy was an otaku through and through and had zero interest in 3D things.
“Hey, what do you want, grabbing me so suddenly?”
The boy asked Lillian with a look of annoyance.
He still needed to buy medicine for his sister and had no time to get entangled with a strange girl.
“Um… well…”
Lillian stammered, falling into a panic as she realized she had offended him.
She suddenly remembered her purpose and asked:
“Excuse me, I’m sorry to bother you, but have you seen a petite and very cute silver-haired little witch about this high?”
‘A silver-haired little witch?’
Hearing Lillian’s inquiry, the boy frowned slightly.
He suspected that what this blonde girl was talking about wasn’t a real person.
Regardless of whether it was reality or fiction, he hadn’t seen anyone like that in recent days.
“Sorry, I’ve never seen anyone like that.”
“Please, think carefully, maybe you really have seen her before!”
Lillian pleaded with the boy again, but this only drew his intense dissatisfaction.
“I already said I’ve never seen such a person! How many times do I have to say it?”
“I have very urgent things to do; can you stop wasting my time here?”
After being harshly rejected by the boy, Lillian stood frozen on the spot.
She watched helplessly as the boy shook off her hand and vanished into the crowd.
“How can this be? Lady Charlotte, where on earth are you?”
Lillian could only sit on a park bench, sighing as she gazed at the gray sky.
To Lillian, this was an extremely alien world.
Acting within it only brought an unprecedented sense of helplessness.
She had experienced this feeling once before, after her clansmen were wiped out by the Blue Dragon Clan.
Back then, she was the only survivor, crossing the Boundary Mountain Range to arrive in a strange human region.
At that time, she had also felt this same unprecedented despair.
Where was she supposed to go?
Later, she had met Lady Charlotte and lived as her maid for five years.
She never expected to feel this sense of directionless confusion again.
It was as if she were the lost child desperately hoping to be found by Lady Charlotte.
‘Oh, Lady Charlotte, where are you…?’
Just as Lillian was wallowing in her frustration, three men approached her and proactively started a conversation.
“Hey little girl, you’re looking for someone, right? We know where the person you’re looking for is!”
“Eh? You know where Lady Charlotte is?”
“Of course, she’s not far from here. Come with us; we’ll take you to see her.”
Although these three men didn’t look like good people, Lillian chose to believe them for the sake of finding Lady Charlotte.
“I’m counting on you then, please take me to her quickly!”
The three men exchanged looks and revealed smiles of “all according to plan” before leading Lillian into a dark alley.
“Hey, this is going too smoothly! I didn’t expect this girl to be so easy to trick!”
“Yeah, yeah, she’s way stupider than we imagined. A few lies and she just obediently followed!”
“Look at that, her chest is really big enough! I’m going to be the first to knead them later!”
As they reached the middle of the alley, the three men began to discuss their next moves with smug faces, as if Lillian wasn’t even there.
“Um, what exactly are you talking about? I don’t seem to quite understand.”
Lillian asked with a look of confusion.
Hearing Lillian’s question, the three men stopped and turned around with lecherous expressions.
“Heheh, haven’t you figured it out yet? You were tricked! We have no idea where the person you’re looking for is!”
“Looking at your outfit, you must be a daughter of some rich family, right? You must have a lot of money on you.”
“If you know what’s good for you, hand over the money. Otherwise, we won’t be polite!”
“Just kidding—even if you hand it over, we’re still not going to be polite to you!”
The three men drew knives and closed in on Lillian.
Seeing Lillian standing still, they assumed she was petrified with fear.
They were unaware that danger was actually stalking them.
Realizing she had been deceived, Lillian clenched her fists.
‘Sure enough, no matter which world it is, these disgusting creatures crawl around in dark corners like cockroaches!’
Although there were still many unknowns she hadn’t figured out about this world, crushing these three bastards to death by transforming her right hand into a dragon claw would be a simple task.
However, just as Lillian intended to swat these three cockroaches to death, a figure suddenly flashed past her.
Swinging a longsword still in its scabbard, the figure knocked two of the bastards to the ground in a split second.
The last one was slammed against the nearby wall by the tip of the scabbard.
The movements were as fluid as flowing water, completed in one breath without the slightest hesitation.
Lillian watched, her face filled with astonishment.
‘Eh? Who is she?’
