Volume 3 - CH 12

Later — Sarina talks to the neighbors and understands the situation.

That Cyclo was caught as a rapist.

That the house became vacant as a result, so the state gave it to a real estate agent to dispose of it.

Then it was bought by the current residents.

In other words, she finally understood that she was now without a home to live in.

“What to do …… I’m worried about Cyclo, but I need to find somewhere to live for now.”

As for Cyclo’s crime, Sarina believed that he was absolutely falsely accused. No matter how much evidence came to light, she was going to believe Cyclo.

But Cyclo had already been tried and was no longer in the Royal Capital.

And Sarina herself was now without a place to stay. Worrying about Cyclo would not help.

In fact, Sarina is the one who needs help more than Cyclo.

Thus, Sarina leaves the place to spend the night at a cheap inn somewhere, walking at a slow pace.

The next day. After spending the night in a cheap inn, Sarina goes to a real estate agency.

""

“……. I apologize. But we don’t have any properties that I can show you under these conditions.”

“I see. I understand ……”

Sarina leaves the real estate agency.

She has already quit her job as a servant of the count’s family and is now unemployed. Moreover, she has no place to live.

She doesn’t have much in savings too.

There was no property that a real estate agent could introduce to such an undefined, unemployed woman.

“If so, I need to get a job first! Even if I live in an inn, I’m sure I can get a simple job!”

With that, Sarina renewed her enthusiasm.

There are many people living in inns in the Royal Capital. There are also those who have regular jobs, so there must be places where even Sarina can work.

Yes, there had to be.

“…… I have no intention of hiring a parent who raised a rapist.”

“I see.”

Sarina accepts the rejection with a completely dejected voice.

This time, she had an interview at a certain diner because there was an opening for a catering and customer service position posted there.

However, she failed miserably.

So far, Sarina has visited six other job openings. But the answer was the same everywhere.

Cyclo was the subject of rumor in the Royal Capital, partly because of the involvement of the Saint, Maria.

Naturally, since it was a bad rumor, many people looked at Cyclo and his mother, Sarina, in an unfavorable light.

And even if the store was sympathetic to Sarina’s position, they could not hire her because of the bad impression she would make on the customers.

For these reasons — even though the sun was already setting, Sarina remained unemployed with no fixed address.

“Really, I wonder what I should do ……”

She had no other choice but to turn back to the Count’s family and ask them to hire her again.

However, if they did not hire her, she would only have spent the money on the carriage ride.

Even so, the rest of her possessions are small. She must take good care of it.

Above all – Cyclo was being spoken of so badly, and that made her sad.

Her mind was completely weakened, and she was losing her ability to make calm decisions.

Sarina was in a tight spot.
