Liana

I looked at Lorraine, whose anxiety seemed to have somewhat eased.

She had been saying for quite some time that she was close to becoming a Master, but perhaps because she hadn't reached it yet, her impatience had grown, and she was clinging to her training to an excessive degree, which had worried me.

*It seems like she's found some release with this opportunity.*

Just as I was watching her, thinking it was fortunate, Lorraine looked at me and continued speaking.

"Young Master, what kind of being was the Master you saw before?"

Lorraine seemed to firmly believe that I had regressed. She asked me this question with a somewhat expectant expression. I looked at her and replied with an awkward smile.

"Well. It's just a gut feeling, but I don't think I should tell you, so I won't."

Of course, it was a lie. It was difficult to say anything precise based solely on what appeared in the original story, so I deliberately avoided answering. However, perhaps because Lorraine's trust in the regression theory was already high, she said:

"Ah...! You're right, Young Master. It's probably best not to hear such things. If I were to hear it and my thoughts became fixated on something strange... it might even lead to a bad outcome."

"Th-that's right."...
