"...Yes, that's right."
The casual confirmation hit me like a physical blow.
So this woman knew the past me before I lost my memories. But that made things more complicated. What kind of connection did I have with them? Was I truly in love with her daughter? Or was she just spouting nonsense?
...Urgh.
"The, can you tell me what kind of 'relationship' you and your daughter had with 'him'. How did you meet, or if 'he' said something important to you about the situation?"
"Hmm... That I can't do."
"Huh? Why?"
"Well, because it's a secret, isn't it? And I enjoyed watching you struggle with all your might."
Wait, she was watching? How? There was Virion back when I was in the academy, so she probably observed me when Virion wasn't near me, or unless...
"Why were you watching?" I asked in a cold voice. "Don't you know something called privacy?"
She let out a melodious laugh that somehow managed to sound both innocent and sinister at the same time.
