Chapter 192-2
[Part 2/4]
I heard the rustling sound of her passing through the cage, followed by the click of the door locking shut.
Her footsteps faded... and in this restraint where I couldn't even turn my head, I strained to catch any faint sounds behind me, trying to make sense of what was happening.

A low sigh escaped me.
And in the silent darkness, I began to think of ways to escape this situation.
Eventually, my thoughts shifted to questioning the attitude of the Juuyaku family...
(What on earth are they planning to do?)
