Join the ServerThe person appearing before Lillian was a black-haired girl.
Of course, at this moment, Lillian did not know that the clothing this girl wore was a uniform called a school uniform.
She simply felt that this black top, skirt, and the red bowtie on the chest made for such lightweight clothing.
Combined with the girl’s nonchalant expression, it was simply too cool.
After dealing with the group of thugs, the black-haired girl silently tucked away her weapon and brushed past Lillian.
“Don’t be tricked by guys like that next time!”
Leaving behind those words, the black-haired girl walked toward the alley’s exit alone.
Snapping back to reality, Lillian quickly turned around and called out to the black-haired girl who hadn’t gone far.
“Um… excuse me… I’m sorry to bother you, but have you seen a girl with long silver hair…”
Before she could finish, the black-haired girl reacted as if she had been suddenly triggered.
She stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and stared fixedly at Lillian with red pupils filled with murderous intent.
This stare gave Lillian a massive fright, and she forgot the rest of her words.
“Is that the only characteristic of the person you’re looking for?”
As Lillian stood frozen on the spot, the black-haired girl continued to ask.
“In addition to her long silver hair, she is petite, cute, and has a rather flat chest,” Lillian added.
Having noticed that many people she had asked previously had expressed doubts about the word “witch,” Lillian assumed people in this world didn’t know what it meant.
Thus, she didn’t use the word “witch” to describe the Lady Charlotte she was looking for.
Upon hearing the description of a “flat chest,” the red light in the black-haired girl’s eyes dimmed, and the murderous intent vanished instantly.
It seemed the silver-haired girl with whom she had a deep grudge was not as cute as Charlotte.
“Sorry, I have no recollection of the girl you described.”
Hearing the black-haired girl’s answer, Lillian couldn’t help but look dejected.
“Is that so? Sorry to have bothered you.”
Just as she was about to leave dejectedly, the black-haired girl added another sentence.
“However, I can help you look for the person you want; more people mean more strength!”
“Besides, the environment here must be very unfamiliar to you.”
“Huh?”
Lillian looked back at the black-haired girl in bewilderment.
She wondered if her identity as someone not from this world had been discovered.
“If you truly have no place to stay, I happen to have a place where you can rest for a while; do you want to come with me?”
Faced with the invitation, Lillian couldn’t help but look suspicious.
She had just been lured into a trap because she was too trusting of people offering help.
Now, the same choice was before her again; should she trust this black-haired girl reaching out a hand?
“Why do you want to help me?” Lillian asked softly.
“Because you look like you’re about to burst into tears; I can’t just leave you alone.”
“Besides, I know exactly what that unprecedented sense of helplessness feels like when arriving in such a strange place for the first time.”
“As your senior in this regard, isn’t it only natural to help a junior who comes after?”
“In any case, the place I’m going to will provide you with a roof; if you trust me, follow me.”
After leaving those words, the black-haired girl continued walking slowly toward the alley’s exit.
After hesitating for a moment, Lillian realized she couldn’t find Lady Charlotte on her own.
To find Lady Charlotte, she shouldn’t try to be a hero but should seek help from others as much as possible.
Thus, there was only one answer.
Once she reached this realization, Lillian caught up to the black-haired girl.
“I’m sorry to trouble you with your care.”
“It’s nothing, just a small favor; don’t take it to heart.”
“You can call me Lillian.”
“Lillian? That’s a nice name! My name is Ibufu Yoruya; you can just call me Yoruya.”
“Alright, Lady Yoruya.”
Just like Guan Yu repaying Cao Cao’s kindness, Lillian decided that before finding Lady Charlotte, she would serve Lady Yoruya, who had helped her, to the best of her ability.

After Lillian recounted her experience of crossing the void rift to the real world in detail to Charlotte, she said nervously:
“Lady Charlotte, if that Blood Clan sister you brought back returns to the Demon Realm, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
“You must go back quickly, otherwise it will be too late!”
Hearing Lillian’s urging, Charlotte squinted her eyes in embarrassment.
“Uh… Lillian, actually, I really want to go back too, but the cross-world magic suddenly stopped working for some reason.”
“So right now… I’m very sorry, but none of us can go back.”
“EH?!!!!!!!”
Hearing Charlotte’s answer, Lillian’s face filled with horror.
“No way? Then our original world…”
“Even if that True Ancestor sister makes a comeback, there’s nothing we can do to help.”
Saying this, Charlotte subconsciously looked at Yukina behind her.
“What are you looking at me for? It’s not like I forced you to stay!”
“Don’t go pinning the blame for not being able to go back on my head!”
Yukina complained with a look of dissatisfaction.
“Lady Charlotte, does this mean we have to live in this world for the rest of our lives?” Lillian asked helplessly.
“The rest of our lives is a bit too long; don’t worry, Lillian, we’re just temporarily unable to return.”
“Once I figure out the specific activation conditions for the cross-world magic, we’ll be able to go back to our original world again.”
“I’m the strongest Star Witch in the other world, after all; researching this kind of magic is child’s play!”
“Really?”
Lillian stared at Charlotte with excitement, as if grabbing a lifeline.
“Of course it’s true, don’t underestimate your Lady Charlotte! Besides, things might not be as bad as you say.”
“The collar around that True Ancestor sister’s neck is very sturdy and difficult to break with external force.”
“Basically, no one but me can remove it. Even if she escapes back to the Demon Realm, she’s just a little girl who can’t use magical power; she won’t be able to stir up much trouble.”
Hearing Charlotte’s explanation, Lillian felt somewhat relieved.
“But it’s still very strange; how did she manage to escape Tsumuguri City?”
“The city guards are so strict, and with my specialized collar on her neck, it should have been impossible for her to walk out openly.”
“So how exactly did she disappear from my Star-Track Tower?”
Charlotte fell into a state of confusion.
However, seeing Lillian suddenly remember something, her face turned into a mask of terror.
“Lady Charlotte, that True Ancestor sister might have already come to this world!”
“Eh?”
“You might not know, Lady Charlotte, but after you left, that void rift didn’t close at all; it remained open the entire time.”
“If it hadn’t, I wouldn’t have been able to come to this world either.”
“She must have escaped to the basement and slipped into the void rift while I was working, which is why she avoided our search.”
“No way, doesn’t that mean this world is about to suffer?”
“Lady Charlotte, let’s hurry and find her!”
With that, Lillian took Charlotte’s hand, preparing to fly off with her.
However, the moment she grasped Charlotte’s right hand, the ruby ring she wore to seal her magic suddenly shattered.
“Eh?”Lillian looked utterly stunned.
