“That… Claire classmate, not going back to prepare a bit?”

Standing before her apartment door, Aaliyah pulled out keys to open.

But suddenly glimpsed Claire behind her, no intent to leave, immediately asked.

Luxury apartments all large flats, one floor only few rooms, Claire arrived late, naturally not neighbors with Aaliyah.

So… lingering at door, probably targeting her again?

Seeing Claire’s faint pleasant expectation on lips, Aaliyah thought very possible.

“Ah, this…”

“Or… Master wants personally check if I dressed well?”

“Stop stop stop stop!”

Seeing Claire no stop intent, Aaliyah blushing called halt dangerous action: “Ahem ahem… no need check.”

“But, how Claire prove prepared…” She lowered head, wronged kitten look, eyes full sincerity.

“Sigh… really can’t do anything with you.”

Shook head, accepted can’t shake Claire burden, Aaliyah could only yield: “Then, Claire classmate come in sit a while.”

“Mm mm mm!”

Claire bloomed brilliant smile, hooked Aaliyah’s free arm, rubbed and rubbed, like pendant followed into room.

“Then… Claire classmate rest here a bit, I go room tidy first?”

Got Claire’s agreement, Aaliyah worried glanced living room graceful figure, pushed door back to own room.

Her said tidy, actually two aspects.

Thinking thus, Aaliyah first tidied bed folded at head, plan evening back secret handle.

Then sat mirror, prepare light makeup.

But this moment, heard door lightly pushed.

Peeking out, naturally Claire’s black little head.

“Master~ Claire coming in~”

She finger pointed Aaliyah’s lips, smiling: “Call little Claire~”

“Mm… l-little Claire?”

“Heehee, Master so good~”

Seemed nourished by words, Claire’s smile sweeter: “I want properly decorate Master~ okay okay~”

Saying picked table foundation, seeking Aaliyah’s opinion.

“Then… thanks little, little Claire.”

Got agreement, Claire more at ease pillowed Aaliyah’s head on chest, truly started painting face.

Foundation, eyeliner, lipstick, one after one, mirror beauty gradually flawless.

“That… little Claire.” Suddenly, Aaliyah broke silence.

“Master any orders?”

Claire tilted head, hand actions not stop.

“Actually… from meeting, I always had a question.”

Staring mirror busy girl, Aaliyah hesitated moment, still continued: “Why exactly… recognize me as Master?”

Aaliyah clearly felt, girl hand eyeliner stiff instant, captivating purple eyes instantly lost light, became cold.

“Master means, abandon me? Or can’t let go that pink-hair vixen…”

“No no no no no…”

Denied repeatedly, Aaliyah no hesitation:

“Not abandon little Claire meaning… just, you said, first meeting… in a dream right?”

“Yes~ That’s great goddess gift to Claire, let find life meaning~ As goddess faithful believer, must obedient follow Master~”

Seemed mentioning extremely beautiful “memory” to her, Claire’s words excited.

“But… is there possibility, I mean, very small very small, absolutely can’t deny possibility.”

Word by word careful, Aaliyah felt treading thin ice difficulty:

“Actually, that just simple, ordinary dream?”

Rebirth secret impossible reveal, Aaliyah only try this way pull Claire from sickness back track, try untie.

At least, can’t one Master after another eat.female.

Laughed shoulders slight tremble, laughed nearly can’t hold eyeliner.

But sweet innocent expression like broken mask gradually peeled, revealed contained sickness and madness.

“As expected… Master, still unwilling admit~”

“No, not that meaning…” Sensing wrong, Aaliyah panicked to explain, but interrupted by Claire’s action.

She one hand slow combed Aaliyah’s hair, gentle action, but with about to strangle prey pressure.

Other hand, from skirt bottom pulled small thing, tossed to Aaliyah’s table.

“Really didn’t expect~ Already rice cooked, Master still think abandon me~ No choice~ Please Master, good look these~”

Following Claire’s gaze, Aaliyah stiffly turned head.

She just nodded.

Smile bright.
