Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 205.6
Clara’s foresight was not perfect. Since he was only calculating the highest probability, Clara also told him to retreat if she did not appear.
–Katan.
(…They’re really here!)
A faint noise was heard, and Bibi gripped the poisoned knife in her hand.
They were getting closer… Even a novice couldn’t use stealth would notice the footsteps. From the light footsteps of her indoor cloth shoes, she reads it as a girl.
The moment the light of the low intensity [Torch] on the tip of her small walking stick illuminated a faint shadow, Bibi jumped out of the way without a sound.
But–
(–What?)
Seeing the girl’s face illuminated by the faint light, Bibi felt the same nostalgic air as the person she had befriended at the Assassin’s Guild, and the moment she stopped, she made a slight sound.
“…Who’s there?”
“Tsk!”
I’ve been noticed. But Bibi liked the girl’s gall to ask such a question to someone who shouldn’t be in a place like this.
(No, this is someone I have to kill…)
Nevertheless, for Bibi, it was her job to kill as well, she did not hold a grudge against this girl. So at least…
(I should kill her so she doesn’t suffer…)
“…If you’re going to hate me, hate me. I feel sorry for you…”
I felt guilty…as if I were killing an innocent child…and unintentionally said words to the girl that were not necessary.
“So…is that so?”
The girl looked a little frightened and saddened by Bibi’s words.
(What a face…)
By now, Bibi no longer had the same sense of alarm that she had at first. Seeing the girl’s sad face, it even seemed as if she was worried about Bibi doing the killing.
It was all Bibi’s own delusion.
If it were someone she didn’t know, she would be wary, but if it were someone she felt close to, she would think positively about it.

For example, when we read a story, even if the “hero or heroine” is generally difficult to accept, isn’t it possible to see it in a positive light by looking at it from that person’s point of view?
Bibi arrived at the conclusion that he could trust her, not because he could change his mind, but because he liked the girl.
“Troubled? Surely, you have… something to do?”
“Why… do you do that?”
Most people have things to do and worries. It is a common practice for fortune-tellers to point them out, but the girl’s melancholy smile of affirmation made Bibi think she was someone who understood him.
The sweet poison of having everything affirmed by a favorable person consumes Bibi.
“If you need my life…I will give it to you. But.”
The girl gently approached Bibi, who could not move, and pulled out a strange Magic Stone from the amulet bag around her neck.
“I will give you a piece of this. Drink this and it will help you. You want to get your loved one back, don’t you?”
“Oh, oh, yes. I want her back.”
Bibi felt as if the darkness in her heart had been lifted. She understood that she did not want to avenge him, but to get him back.
Even if it was just a positive acceptance of an appropriate word that could be applied to anyone, and even if it was simply an arbitrary combination of things in her mind….
She owes Clara a debt of gratitude. But she was sure that Clara would understand if she knew her, Bibi concluded.
“Oh, thank you… I’m Bibi. Can you tell me your name?”
“You can call me Licia. That’s what my friends call me.”
“Friends…yes. I’ll come back to see you, Licia.”
With that, Bibi took the small piece of Magic Stone from the girl, smiled shyly, and disappeared into the darkness.
She disappeared into the darkness, unaware of the girl’s distorted smile, which was faintly illuminated in the darkness.
The assassination attempt using Clara’s “foresight” was foiled by Viscountess Melrose’s “Charm,” and Bibi disappeared from the royal capital without ever returning to Clara’s service.
