A Failure

I was at a complete loss regarding Shiraishi.

I couldn't make sense of anything she was doing. She was acting just fine a few days ago, but yesterday she acted as if I didn't exist at all. Just when I thought that everything was alright, she decided to act weird.

What the hell was happening?

I didn't talk about this with Lilith. I was probably scared at the possibility that Lilith would point out my failure, and it would lead me to face the fact that I couldn't complete the contract and it would lead to my death.

I was wrong at that time.

I'm straying far away from this target with each passing day. My plan failed, and things weren't going according to what I assumed. Shiraishi was acting completely wild and illogical.

I was in such a delicate situation that the thought of failing this contract was all that was in my mind. And the fear of losing my life was making me more and more desperate as time was progressing.
