Book 1: Chapter 31
「I have to go…」
I felt that the more time passed, the further Lark would get away from me. If she knew that I was safe and secure, there would be no more reason to stay over and protect me.
「Lark…!」
I pulled out my shirt and put it on. The shirt that Mimino-san patched together for me was tattered, but it was still wearable.
I heard the voices of Mimino-san and Non-san from the adjacent room. It might be due to 【Hearing Enhancement】. Both of them were in a bright tone, so Dante-san should be fine.
If I told them about going outside, there’s no doubt that they’d stop me. So, I used 【Sprinting Technique】 to erase my footsteps and went out — the sky was still dark, just before sunrise.
…Did I sleep for more than half a day? Thinking so makes me hungry, but there’s no time for that now.
I checked the area around the inn. Nobody was there. As I ran down the quiet street, I saw some people who seemed like they were going to the market to stock up. Although there was such a big incident yesterday, the city was trying to move on as usual today. It made me feel as though it was all just a bad dream.
But I realized it was not a dream, because the battle scene was just nearby.
