Watching the shop's Apprentice load the goods onto the cart, Lillim paid the money and, while waiting for Faye's side to be ready, the little lamb took out her Holy Emblem once again.
It was the highest reward that the Shepherd Church could give to a believer like her.
It was only because she followed Mr. Malin that everything changed, originally, according to the plan of her family, Lillim was just a child destined to unite with another family upon reaching adulthood.
It was only because of that afternoon's entanglement, stemming from her own encounter with the big-tailed Cat Girl, that fate had, on that day, led Lillim onto another path that she had never imagined.
She had thought she would live with Mr. Malin forever, maybe live a life different from the past, but Lillim never expected her life to become so dramatic.
