Light Life 3

"Why are you helping me?"

That was what Lirienne asked while gulping the soup Callius gave her.

'I can't understand him….. Why is he doing this?'

In her mind, a lot of things were going on.

Remembering the things she had always seen from others or how people behaved she could say for sure that in this world there was nothing that would come without a price.

"Why, you ask, huh?"

"Yes."

"Don't you really know that?"

"Hmm?"

With his red eyes straight up looking at her grey ones, he asked in a response.

"Although I don't know what kind of life you have lived so far, I can say when I see a person's eyes if they have gone through a lot."

"….."

"And, your eyes are telling me that you have already seen how this world works, isn't it?"

"….Don't divert the question."

'In the end, this is not enough to fool her…'

That was what Callius thought while releasing a long sigh.
