Chapter 124
"Yura? Where on earth do you want to go...?"
After a chilling encounter with Eleona that almost drew me in completely, I found myself returning to the capital. Out of the blue, Yura said she wanted to visit a place and started leading me by the hand.
"Hmm... Should I call it a secret? It wouldn't be fun if I told you!"
I asked her about our exact destination, but she kept playfully refusing with a cheerful voice. Despite her clear steps, I had no idea where we were heading, so I just went along.
"Ha ha...!"
And then... there was something unnaturally forced about her laughter. It was like she was blatantly saying, 'I'm up to something suspicious!' Even her usual inability to lie well contributed to my growing suspicion. She might not be my biological sister, but her audacity was enough to raise doubts. It seemed she was hiding something almost criminal.
"I think I need to know where we're going... Yura... something seems off..."
Narrowing my eyes and lowering my voice a bit, Yura looked shocked and flustered.
"Eh... Huh? Why...?!"
