TTRIA 19
The fourth full moon at the mansion is approaching soon. It is said that this month, too, a charity event for vagrants will be held, so I must closely observe the vagrants visiting the mansion. Those who could vanish from the world without anyone caring are the perfect targets to become sacrifices for the worms, aren’t they? For that reason, my duty as a tutor belonging to the mansion no longer feels important. Selecting bright children and handing them over to the agent was never the right thing to…-

TTRIA 18
“You’re hurt.” While staring blankly into the air, pondering a new topic to discuss, Jeff widened his eyes. A figure standing at a distance was looking at him. It was Cecil’s voice, heard after a long time, and a gaze that reached him after a long absence. “You’ve finally opened your mouth. I thought you’d become a Trappist monk, staying silent for so long.” Ever since that night when Ego visited and drove him out, Jeff had been treated like an invisible man. He spoke with a mix of…-

On the dawn he returned like that. As the end of the newly started day approached, Jeff headed to the annex again, but Cecil, who had been sitting on the windowsill waiting for someone, was nowhere to be seen. He met Cecil again at dawn, four days after that. Half out of stubbornness, half out of habit, Jeff, who had headed to the annex, was able to face the back of the man leaning against the windowsill. Fluttering black hair and a gracefully moving upper body. A white shirt stained by the…-

“Because he said there was nothing more to teach.” Cecil said in a toneless voice. He spoke so matter-of-factly that Jeff blinked blankly for a moment. “Are you a genius?” Cecil flinched. “…Why did you suddenly jump to that?” “You said the teacher gave up when you were only seventeen because there was nothing left to teach. If that is not a genius, then what is it.” The whites of his eyes, where the capillaries had burst, were still red, but for some reason, the eyes…-

TTRIA 15
What did the children look like when they discovered the wound? They flared their nostrils as if they had found prey, and their glistening eyes could not look away. That must be because the children are ‘that existence’ with ‘that scent’. Like Hugo, like their uncle, Alan Walker. Because they are ‘bugs’ wearing human skin. Wayne Gray, who raises young ‘bugs’ under the pretext of a sponsorship program. No, in this case, should I see it as the Gray family? They are creating <Vivlook>…-

TTRIA 14
The full moon event called ‘Eden’ was grander than Jeff had anticipated. Booths for medical treatment were set up throughout the vast garden, and a psychological counseling center was also prepared for vagrants who had lost their will to live. Clothing for adults and children, distinguished by gender, and cleaning supplies made by <Vivlook> were also provided. Some vagrants, upon receiving the high-quality clothes, even changed into them on the spot. Above all, what captivated their attention…-

“Why?” Curiosity flickered in Hugo’s eyes. Jeff, facing him, opened his mouth in a nonchalant tone. “I know it is the same raw material. But strangely, the scent you use feels better.” “…My scent is better?” It did not seem like such a surprising thing to say. Hugo, his green eyes wide, muttered as if he could not believe it. Jeff, who was staring blankly at his bewildered face, added. “I did not know when we met at the university, but now that there is a point of…-

“See, Jeff. I told you so. That you would fall in love.” “I am sorry, but it is not love.” “That is because you do not know Collie properly yet. There are so many beautiful places. Do you want to go out again right now? I can give you a fantastic tour.” “Thank you for the offer, but I will decline. I prefer to experience things on my own.” “Haha!” Hugo naturally put his arm around Jeff’s shoulder. Since Jeff was the only one in the university who was of a similar…-

“Ah, damn it. Why of all times, now….” No matter how bad its condition was, he thought it would last for at least a day. At this rate, there was no point in having gone through the trouble of acquiring it, even paying an extra fee. Jeff, who had cursed under his breath, checked his surroundings. The forest after the rain was different from how it had looked in the early dawn. Having lost the guiding light, it was difficult to even gauge his direction. “Hah….” If he had known it would…-

"Mr. Lowell?" Suddenly, he felt a hand pulling at the hem of his clothes. Jeff, whose gaze had been wandering aimlessly, turned his head. Milla, holding an answer sheet in her hand, was looking at him with a puzzled expression. "Ah… I am sorry, Milla. Are you finished?" "Yes." "Good job. Milla, you may go read in the back until the other children are finished." "Yes, sir." As Milla smiled faintly and headed for the sofa, Daniel's eyes grew sullen. The boy was often jealous of the girl's…-
