What Should I Do If a Monster Is Watching Me?

After her parents died one after the other, Adele moved in with her uncle.

Her uncle, Rochester, was an old-fashioned gentleman of the nobility. Unable to keep up with the changing times, he had once come close to bankruptcy. So he decided to go into business overseas, but his cargo ship was wrecked. He narrowly escaped with his life, and when he returned, his personality had changed completely. He had also acquired a "butler." With the butler's help, his business flourished, and he was transformed into a wealthy man of the nouveau riche.

The butler was young and handsome, though somewhat peculiar. He often scrutinized Adele with a condescending, curious, and critical gaze, making her uncomfortable.

But Adele was living under her uncle's roof and didn't feel she could say anything. All she could do was force a stiff smile at him.

The butler's smile grew even stranger.

All sorts of people came and went at her uncle's house: nobles, politicians, wealthy merchants, and literary figures.

Adele had no idea what they were doing. An eerie atmosphere hung over the entire estate.

"I have to get out of this strange place as soon as possible," Adele resolved silently.

Then one night, Adele was woken from her sleep by a scream. It was her uncle's voice.

She opened the door and saw her uncle lying in a pool of blood, with disgusting, writhing worms crawling out of his body.

She stood frozen, unable to move.

A chill swept over her from behind, and a pair of large hands covered her mouth.

A sinister laugh rang in her ear. "Are you afraid of me, Adele? The truly terrifying story is only just beginning."
