The next day, at noon.
I sighed as I left the Lord's Manor. The name I'd heard from Alpa yesterday kept coming to mind.
I wondered if he was lying. But there was no reason for him to mention the name of someone he had no connection with in that situation.
Regrettably, it was probably true.
"Did it really come to that? Why, though? Why of all people?!"
I had just handed Kahlum over to the Butler and was on my way out, so my heart felt light yet heavy at the same time.
I wondered if it was my fault. I thought I had paid as much attention to people as possible. Why was this happening?
"Huu..."
I let out a deep sigh and stepped onto the street. The street was somehow chaotic.
The sounds of people talking to each other sounded ominous.
"I heard the woman who was helping the old man upstairs collapsed earlier?"
"Isn't she the one who was with the Hero?"
"Right. She should be strong."
"I heard something similar too!"
