"Whimper~"
It seemed like someone had noticed Timothy approaching. From inside the coffin, there was a series of soft knocks, accompanied by a cute, almost pitiful whimper.
Clearly, someone was struggling inside the coffin, desperately trying to break free.
But the strange thing was...
"That innocent, cute voice... is that Sylvia?"
Sure, the goddess had made some pretty odd sounds before when using techniques like Harvesting, but this voice coming from the coffin was way too... childlike.
Suddenly, Timothy remembered the rumors he'd heard back in Ereboth and along the way. Quite a few ghosts had mentioned that the Lord's mansion had captured a living being, but they all referred to this person from the Elant continent as a "little girl."
Thinking about it, with Goddess Sylvia's mature, commanding presence and her status as an Emperor-level powerhouse, there was no way anyone could mistake her for a little girl, right?
