Chapter 77 Part 3 – The prelude to the ball. Alisa clashes against the Light Bat Tribe. Then, I reminisced about the night of 「Thunderbolt」.

I was visibly indignant and furious with steam coming out of my head.

「…… While Alisa-chan is sleeping, I’d like you to give me some final advice for tonight’s ball. Please. What should I do so that I can do well ……」

Hearing my mother’s request, I instantly calmed down as if I got doused with cold water.

Mother was pale and her hands were trembling as she gripped the hem of my dress. She was stout-hearted, so she didn’t show it on her face, but she still had not recovered from the trauma of the bullying that she experienced 14 years ago.

If it had been only her own pride that was shattered that night at the ball, she would have recovered long ago. But what was shattered was her simple-minded trust in others.

She was made to realize the wicked heart of humans and could no longer speak properly with other people.
