Chapter 120
"Brother? What happened...?" As my vision cleared, I found myself in a dimly lit room with my sister Yura, looking slightly startled by my sudden appearance.
"Yura?" I was just as bewildered by the situation, a sense of irony hanging in the air.
"How did this happen? I was resting on the bed and suddenly you just appeared out of thin air..." Yura's account allowed me to piece together a plausible scenario. It seemed that Tempus had set the destination of my return to the inn where I had been staying. Her ability to transport people anywhere seemed almost too convenient. Could she be using some sort of magical teleportation?
"Explaining the situation might be complicated, but in simple terms for now... let's just say I was brought back here by something," I said, trying to simplify the complex events.
"Ah..." Yura seemed slightly suspicious but somewhat grasped the situation, giving me a somewhat vague nod.
"So, did you meet that girl Miru? You said she had something important for you," she asked.
How should I answer? Nodding felt uncomfortable given the shocking revelations, and shaking my head didn't seem right either. "Well... it seems like I did gain something," I responded ambiguously.
"That's a bit vague, isn't it?" Yura sensed something odd but didn't press further.
"Anyway, I'm glad you got something out of it," she said, wagging her tail slightly as her curiosity seemed to recede.
