In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Maria didn't answer too carefully because she also noticed the girl's sleepy posture.

After a few more glances, she took advantage of the girl not falling asleep and asked one last question.

"What's your name?"

"...Lavinia."

Despite the sleepiness in her heart, the girl struggled and uttered her own name in a low voice.

"Lavinia Falcone."

"Like a princess, a very elegant name."

Maria hesitated for a moment, but still gave the girl a gentle response.

But unfortunately, the girl was completely sleepy at this time and could no longer hear what Maria was saying.

She could only mumble in a daze.

"Good night……"

After saying that, she fell into a deep sleep.

Maria also looked at her for a few seconds, and finally reached out and slowly stroked the girl's unique gray-blonde hair.

"Goodnight...Lavinia."

……

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning slowly penetrated the room, and the powerful biological clock forced the woman to get up.

Her drunken brain and rationality began to fight fiercely, and the sound of fighting made her head buzz.

She got up from the bed in a daze and looked around in confusion.

"The room...is not my room..."

She mumbled, and the memories of yesterday slowly came flooding back.

"I remember... I was drinking with that new guy..."

"And then...what happened then?"

Angel nudged the custom machine's head with his hand, looking somewhat helpless and confused.

She really couldn't remember what happened yesterday.

Fortunately, the two people leaning on the chairs nearby quickly awakened her memory.

"Oh... now I remember, after I finished drinking, I left the bar with her, and then... then I ran into this girl. Eh? Why does this girl seem a little serious?"

The angel girl narrowed her eyes and looked at Lavinia carefully.

But unfortunately, what happened yesterday happened too quickly and she didn't remember the other person's face at all.

After being confused for a while, he could only shake his head vigorously.

"you're awake?"

Maria quickly heard the other party's movement, turned her head slightly, and looked at the somewhat out of tune Sakota.

When the woman heard Maria's question, she had no intention of repenting, but just raised her face with a smile.

"Hey, I'm really sorry for bothering you yesterday. I haven't paid for the wine yet. How much is it?"

As she spoke, she was about to take out her small purse.

But Maria shook her head.

"I didn't pay. The boss gave me credit. If you want to pay me back, go find him."

"Huh?" Hearing Maria's words, the angel widened his eyes in surprise.

"That stingy guy is willing to buy on credit? Maria, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

“…I’m not sure if the person you’re talking about is the same person I’m talking about, but that’s the truth.”

Maria shook her head.

It was also her first time in a pub, and she had no idea what nicknames the regular customers knew, so naturally she didn't know if the stingy man the woman was talking about was the one she met yesterday.

"Hmm... maybe they're hiring new people, otherwise the boss definitely wouldn't let me buy on credit. I still owe him money for drinks a few times."

The angel smiled, his face carefree.

The noise of the conversation soon woke up the little girl next to them.

She raised her head in a daze, looked at the calm face in front of her, and yawned.

"Good morning, ma'am."

"Sooner or later, Lavinia."

"I'm going to wash up."

"Ah."

Lavinia rubbed her eyes in a daze and walked towards the bathroom in her gray pajamas.

The angel on the side was also watching this scene. After seeing the girl being well-behaved and sensible and brushing her teeth and washing her face by herself, she looked at Maria enviously.

"That's great~"

"Ok?"

"It's great to have a sensible daughter~" Sakota seemed to have misunderstood something. He looked at Maria beside him with a subtle expression and smiled.

Before Maria could explain, she turned her head and looked around curiously.

"Is the child's mother here too?"

"…her mother."

Hearing the other party's question, Maria hesitated for a moment, not knowing where to start explaining.

But she shook her head.

"I don't know where her mother is. Besides, I don't have a very deep relationship with this girl. I just met her for the first time yesterday."

"yesterday?"

The angel was a little surprised.

She turned over and jumped up from the bed, moving smoothly to Maria's side and squatting beside her.

"You said you just met her for the first time yesterday?!"

"Yes……"

"And then you brought her into your house?!"

"To be more precise, this is the girl's residence. The two of us are just staying there temporarily for one night."

After saying this, Maria raised her head again.

The angel on the side already had an expression on his face that said 'you are kidding a fool'.

"To be honest," she said, rising from the ground. "This is a little too fake."

There are many things in this world that can be faked, but some things cannot be faked.

For example, what she just saw, the girl waking up in a daze, must be true.

She could trust Maria so much that she even slept in Maria's arms all night and woke up the next day without any vigilance.

Maria still said that this was the first time they met?

Although she is a little bit thick-skinned, she is not to this extent.

Although Maria doesn't look like someone who would lie, the facts are right in front of him, and Sakota still believes in his intuition!

As for why Maria didn't tell herself...

Obviously, everyone has their own ideas.

Since Maria didn't want to say anything, she wouldn't force anything.

but……

"No matter what your relationship is, the child is innocent. I'll just pretend I didn't hear you say you weren't familiar with her."

The Sakota woman shook her head, looking earnest.

On the other side, a well-behaved and sensible girl had already walked out of the bathroom. When she saw the two people in the room, her mind, which had just come to its senses, became a little restrained.

After nodding slightly, he turned around and honestly sorted out the books he had borrowed.

This self-management ability far exceeds that of her peers, leaving the Sakota woman standing by stunned.

She looked at the girl in surprise, then looked at Maria beside her, a little hesitant.

Maria...is she still a strict father?

After hesitating for a few moments, while Maria went to the bathroom to rest, the Sakota woman came to the girl in a familiar manner.

Looking at the other person's rosy face, she hesitated for a moment and then asked quietly.

"Um...kid, where's your mother?"

"Mother……"

Hearing the other party's question, the girl hesitated for a long time.

She turned her head slightly, somewhat reluctant to talk about such things.

The woman next to her also looked subtle after seeing this scene.

If Maria hadn't said it, she could have understood that the relationship between the couple had been not very good recently.

But...even the children are like this.

Is it possible...

gone? !

When she thought of this, the Sakota woman's face became conflicted.

She reached out and gently drew on the girl's body.

"She will go to a happy world..."

"Ah."

Lavinia obviously had no intention of continuing to speak. She just lowered her head and expressed her gratitude to the other party.

"Mother is a gentle woman."

"I believe that with a child as sensible as you, your mother must be a person worthy of respect."

For a moment, this woman who was still drinking yesterday seemed to really exude a sense of holiness.

After a while, she looked at the girl hesitantly.

"Um...you and Maria, that's her..." The Sakota woman said, glancing at Maria who had just entered the bathroom. "How's your relationship?"

Although this matter had nothing to do with her, as a Sakota who followed the teachings, she could not just watch such a tragedy happen in front of her and do nothing.

"...We...are not particularly familiar with each other."

"Even you say that?"

The Sakota woman was truly shocked.

She stared blankly at the girl in front of her and hesitated for a few seconds.

But in an instant, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

Come to think of it...Maria is a newcomer, right?

Newcomers don’t necessarily have to be selected from Syracuse, right?

It is also possible that he is from other places.

And this child... said that he was not familiar with Maria.

Is it...

In an instant, her mind sketched out a story in which his wife left, his child was helpless, and the father rushed thousands of miles to his hometown, ready to start a new life with a child who was not familiar with him.
