Chapter 186: Butterfly Effect
“… Haah.” “Master, are you feeling tired?”
“No… Not at all.”
It was the day after being subjected to a full day of torture disguised as interrogation by Lestrade, who had saved me in a moment of crisis.
“… But your legs seem to be shaking unnaturally, that too quite frequently.”
“My body has been aching lately.”
After barely escaping the house while Lestrade was off guard, I set off for the back alleys of London, accompanied by Moran, who had been waiting at the designated meeting place.
“Shouldn’t the pain you feel in your body and the female scent I can smell off you be separate matters then? Why do I think that’s not the case, hmm?”
“That’s just the usual smell coming off the back alleys, right? And mind your language, young lady.”
I felt a bit relieved as I moved away from the place I had been frequenting until yesterday, even though it was in a somewhat safer area. However, I couldn’t help but feel perplexed at the abrupt shift in Moran’s tone.
