Heartbreaking, Not Forgetting Anyone
I put out the candle by Nushi's door as I closed it. Things were slowly starting to put themselves together, and even the whole Nixi thing was working out.
Still, these things were the easy ones to deal with. That was really only because I knew what Nixi's deal was and what was going on with her.
Now I had to deal with the other misbegot girls and then things that came with them. And then there was the Demon Lord Dao, and he was for sure going to be a pain.
That made me think about the first time I had met Jilly and what the more minor demon had told her, but did that still apply? Jilly was no longer staying there, so why should she have to pay rent?
I walked up the stairs and turned to the girl's room that was already open, putting the thoughts of Jilly's rent to the back of my mind. I could talk to her in the morning after I got back from trying to rescue Jessabell.
"Master?" I heard Riez call from the room, and I rubbed my hand over my face and walked into the room.
