'If I'm going to have to run away from Jeanne every time she's drunk, what's waiting for me in the future?' Mitsuki thought.
It was already night, and he was on his way back to the inn. Earlier, he had been at the tavern with Jeanne, but knowing how quickly things could spiral out of control, he'd decided to leave and return to the inn instead. Besides, he still had another soul repair session to complete. He couldn't afford any distractions.
He continued down the streets before suddenly stopping to look up at the rooftops.
He could feel someone watching him.
Yet when his eyes scanned the area, he found absolutely nothing.
Only a few roof tiles, a chimney releasing smoke, and a sheet hanging on a clothesline swaying gently in the wind.
He frowned suspiciously before deciding to finish his walk back to the inn.
Lulu greeted him the moment she saw him, congratulating him on reaching S-Rank.
Mitsuki thanked her and shut himself inside his room.
