"I was just caught off guard last time. Take a good look."
"Yeah, I believe you."
"Hey!"
"What?"
"Look, it's been a long time since I used a dagger but I'm sure that it would be different this time."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, just you wait."
Evelyn spoke confidently.
...At that moment, I got the feeling that someone was looking at me. Somewhere... above.
I raised my head.
On top of a nearby building, I found a girl looking down at me.
"...."
Our eyes met. For some reason, I felt like I knew her. She looked just like how I imagined her to be.
"Huaaaap—!"
Evelyn charged forward with a strange shout. Startled, I turned my gaze, and by the time I looked back up, the girl was gone.
I felt a bit sorry for the girl who disappeared.
She was the antagonist of my novel, Her name was 'Ella.'
"Hey! Help me!"
I could hear Evelyn shouting.
"...The heck."
