Late at night, Kaylee, walking down a dark hallway with only one lantern lit, frowned and glared at the person standing right behind her.
“It won’t fall off?”
“Ugh... Sister Kaylee...”
“Do you want to keep saying such weak words? You are now a servant of this mansion! You have to live here!”
Despite the frightened sobs of the man behind her, Kaylee's urging did not stop.
“How are you going to hold out when you’re so scared? Especially since you’re going to be working in Simone’s room!”
“Oh, I see...”
Kaylee looked at the little girl who was at a loss for what to do and eventually took a step back, and beat her chest.
“It’s so frustrating!”
Anna wasn't that pathetic either. She was always cautious, but she was quite indifferent when it came to curses, and lately, she had been playing the role of Simone's greatest understanding person.
But this child, the new attendant Jane, was so scared that she looked like Claire, the attendant in charge of Master Jace.
Jane, who just entered the mansion today, has been quite afraid of the mansion since she came here.
Until then, Kaylee understood, since none of the servants who originally came to this mansion had come in on their own.
Because the rumors about this mansion and family were so ominous, most people were initially very nervous.
At first, Jane was just as scared as the other employees, or maybe a little more scared, but just enough that Kaylee could understand.
'Really... Is there a... ghost in this mansion...?'
It was a question or a level that any servant who entered this mansion would ask at least once.
Jane's condition became like this after the mirror curse incident was resolved.
'I was unlucky.'
Kaylee thought as she watched Jane tremble and look around as if something was going on.
Even though it is the Illeston Manor, it is truly rare for an employee to witness a curse from the first day they enter the place.
No, surprisingly, not a single person has ever done that before.
Jane was the first. She had come here for the first time today and had seen with her own eyes the curse of Illeston Manor that she had only heard of through rumors, and had also seen the incredible power of Simone, whom she was now to serve.
She has nowhere to go, so she can't help but shiver, but if she really wants to, she'll want to run away right away.
Kaylee tried to say something else but then bit her lip.
'Hold on, hold on.'
Didn't she promise to calm down by now? She had reflected a lot and realized many things since the Osasanisasao incident.
One of the reasons why so many people hate Kaylee is because she can't control her anger.
When she heard that the Osasanisasaodo servants had appeared to curse Kaylee, Kaylee was shocked.
“Yeah, well, that could be possible.”
Kaylee pretended to understand Jane in an awkward tone and slapped her on the back.
“Relax, kid! It’s okay now! Didn’t Lady Simone take care of that ghost earlier?”
“That’s... but... there might be something else...”
“Ha! No! I’m not coming out today, so stop and come with me. I want to go in and sleep too!”
Of course, right now, there are strange instructions and everyone is on guard, but that's why Kaylee wanted to finish the guidance quickly and go back to her room.
To do that, she had to lie to Jane and make her calm down so she could start walking again.
“If you don’t finish your introduction today, you can’t go back to your room?”
“This, this, this mansion is so scary!”
“Okay, I understand. Let’s go quickly.”
Kaylee pulled Jane along as she led her to the end of the hallway.
In fact, Kaylee was planning to explain only the important parts of the guidebook that Jane hadn't read yet while giving the guide, but it's getting too late, so she guess she'll have to postpone that until tomorrow.
'Just the urgent things first.'
Let's just explain the 101st directive that suddenly appeared, which is obvious to anyone who sees it as having already been implemented.
Kaylee said to Jane as she walked up the stairs at the end of the hallway.
“Now, look. I don’t know how much time you’ve spent reading the manual all day.”
Kaylee pointed up the stairs.
“If you want to live, memorize the manual as quickly as possible. First, here’s what’s urgent! Our mansion has three floors. There’s no fourth floor. Do you understand?”
“...Yes?”
Jane glanced at where Kaylee was pointing.
“But what if there’s a 4th floor that shouldn’t exist? We need to hurry down. And there are some strange instructions these days-”
Jane's face turned pale.
“Miss Kaylee...”
"Yes?"
Kaylee, who was climbing the stairs absentmindedly, stopped walking when she noticed that Jane's expression had become strange.
"What's the matter?"
“I...over there... over there, there’s someone...”
"What?"
Kaylee turned her head to where Jane's gaze landed and froze.
On the dark stairs, where it was hard to see, someone was standing with their legs spread shoulder-width apart, rocking back and forth.
The woman, with her considerably thin legs, was barefoot and her upper body was hidden in the darkness.
What is that...?
Kaylee stared blankly at the woman's appearance, then suddenly came to her senses.
“Huh!”
What floor are we on now?
“It won’t fall off?”
“Ugh... Sister Kaylee...”
“Do you want to keep saying such weak words? You are now a servant of this mansion! You have to live here!”
Despite the frightened sobs of the man behind her, Kaylee's urging did not stop.

The woman, with her considerably thin legs, was barefoot and her upper body was hidden in the darkness.
What is that...?
Kaylee stared blankly at the woman's appearance, then suddenly came to her senses.
“Huh!”
What floor are we on now?
Kaylee quickly turned her head and looked down.
There was a door leading to the third-floor hallway below.
Without realizing it, Kaylee was leading Jane to the fourth floor.
Kaylee, who had been feeling frustrated while scolding Jane, also had a look of fear on her face.
She really didn't notice anything. She was going up to the fourth floor without realizing it.
Kaylee turned her trembling body and looked back at the woman on the fourth floor.
A swaying woman whose lower body is visible only.
Then that woman.
The hundredth time, when you see Simone standing on the fourth-floor stairs, run away. Then you will die.
Kaylee quickly grabbed Jane's wrist.
“Run, run!”
And the moment she turned around hastily, she flinched at the sight of another figure rising from below and hurriedly held Jane in her arms to protect her.
Thump- thump- thump- thump-
“Oh, don’t come...”
Something was crawling up the stairs.
A woman with long, flowing hair and bloody eyes crawled up the stairs on her hands, expressionlessly looking at the two people.
“Ugh...Ke, Miss Kaylee.... What should I do...?”
Her lips were as blue as if she had been playing in the water for a long time, and her face was bloodless. Jane looked up at that ominous appearance, hugging Kaylee's waist tightly.
Kaylee also didn't know what to do and just stared at the woman's upper body rising up.
'I have to run away.. .'
The moment you see Simone on the 4th floor, run away immediately, that's what it says in the instructions...
But all sides are blocked.
Above is Simone, or rather, something that resembles Simone. Below is a woman with only the upper body. There is no one to help... no one.
When Kaylee couldn't do anything and hugged Jane tighter, the woman who had crawled up from underneath reached out with a long hand and grabbed Kaylee's ankle tightly.
“Ahhh! Ah, no! Let go of it!”
“Kaylee!”
The woman still had a blank expression on her face as she grabbed Kaylee's ankle and pulled her towards her.
Kaylee screamed and tried to hold on, but her strength was too much and Kaylee was dragged down without any resistance.
“Oh, what should I do? Please save me. Please save me...!”
Jane fidgeted and screamed, grabbing hold of Kaylee's clothes as she was being dragged away and pulling her to the other side.
Simone, who had been standing alone and staggering on the fourth floor, suddenly stopped and began to move forward, one step at a time.
Finally, her face, which had been hidden in the darkness, was revealed.
Simone.
Simone was really staggering around expressionlessly, looking down at the two of them.
A cold sweat broke out on Kaylee's forehead.
'That's, that's not the real Simone!'
That would definitely not be Simone. If it were Simone, she would have saved the two people, even if she showed signs of annoyance in this situation. She would never have looked at them with such an indifferent face.
If something in the shape of Simone from above comes down to this situation, it really ends here.
She and Jane will die here.
'Please... there has to be a way... Please...'
In that life-or-death crisis, something flashed through Kaylee's mind.
“Jane, get ready to run.”
"Yes...?"
Kaylee held onto Jane's hand, which was holding onto her collar, and took the amulet Simone had given me out of her bosom.
This is their only hope of getting out of this situation.
Kaylee moved quickly and placed amulets on the lower bodyless woman. One, two, three. As she placed three amulets close together, the woman’s eyes widened and she felt her hands slowly loosen.
“Run now!”
“Yes, yes!”
This is it. Kaylee quickly swung her leg to slap the woman's hand away and ran down the stairs with Jane.
Fortunately, the two ghosts upstairs didn't chase them all the way down the stairs.
The two barely managed to escape from them and return to their room.
That night, Jane was too scared to even go back to her own room, so she slept in Kaylee's room, and Kaylee stayed up all night worried.
There was a door leading to the third-floor hallway below.
Without realizing it, Kaylee was leading Jane to the fourth floor.
Kaylee, who had been feeling frustrated while scolding Jane, also had a look of fear on her face.
