Standing there was Mildred, her red curly hair bouncing. She looked furious.

“Listen to this!” she huffed, stamping into the room.

Kazuya recalled how Harminia’s footsteps barely made any sound. They’re polar opposites, he thought. When she noticed Victorique peeking out of the square hole, she chuckled and poked the girl’s nose. Victorique gave a jerk like a kitten frightened by an adult, and blinked repeatedly.

“What are you doing, little one?”

Victorique reddened.

Is she self-conscious about her height? Kazuya wondered.

Without a hint of guilt on her face, Mildred started talking. “Those men are a bunch of idiots!” she said, tramping around the room. “Alan, Derek, and Raoul. I hung around with them because I thought Derek was loaded.”

“R-Really? Only because he’s rich?”

“I love money!” she snapped, for some odd reason. “I love money more than good wine and pretty dresses. I love it more than anything else!”

Kazuya and Victorique exchanged glances.

Kazuya recalled the Dresden plate that she presumably stole at the bazaar.

Until now, Mildred was crude and ill-mannered, but once the subject of money came up, her vibe changed drastically. There was a strong, sweet scent coming from her, as if she had put on perfume, and her entire body was oozing sex appeal.

What is wrong with her?

Kazuya stared at Mildred, who kept repeating the word “money” over and over.

“You buy wines and dresses with money, though,” Victorique interjected.

Mildred pretended not to hear. “So anyway, they wanted to go check the place out. It’s the eve of the Midsummer Festival and the villagers are on edge, but they went to visit the cathedral. No one’s supposed to be there at this time of the year. Rules and what not. I went with them anyway. Do you know what they did? They took a precious ornamental vase and dropped it into a basin full of holy water.” She picked up the red glass sitting next to the pitcher and gulped it down without looking inside. “They begged to see it, but when they did, they laughed at how the villagers were cherishing junk. The villagers got mad, and they dropped it! And it happened three times, once for each of them. I was surprised the vase didn’t break. The village chief was practically steaming. He said that they only value what’s new and can’t appreciate the real value of things.” She coughed. “Th-There was something round in the water.”

Kazuya gasped. The eyeball! He decided not to say anything.

“It was probably candy or something,” he said, and Mildred nodded.
