The commotion coming from the next room, made me open my eyes.
The smell of rain wafted in the air. A dim light could be seen behind the curtain. It’s already morning.
When I walked out into the hallway with sleepy eyes, Vincent, with a grim expression I had never seen before, violently opened the door and walked out of his room.
Followed by a thin white-robed middle-aged man, who was holding one of his arms.
“Wait! I told you to stay in bed!”
The white robed man shouted as he stomped his feet firmly on the floor. However, he couldn’t stop the giant Vincent completely, thus he was being dragged away as well.
“O, Oi, Vincent? What’s wrong?”
When I casually asked that question, the man in white robe looked at me.
“Are you his acquaintance!? He－－”

“Cecil is gone.”

Doctor? I couldn’t ignore it, so I stopped.
“Why is the doctor here?”
“I was called in by the innkeeper. He’d better go to the hospital immediately. It’s not natural to vomit that much blood!”
“Blood….”
I looked back at Vincent while he took a deep breath.
I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary in his appearance. At least for me.
He then looked at the doctor as he said.
“I appreciate your concern. Thanks to the medicine you gave me earlier, I feel much better now. But my precious companion is gone. I can’t pretend I don’t see it.”
“He said he’d go find him too, didn’t he? Let him take care of this matter. You should rest for at least a day.”
“I can’t wait for a day. Please, let me go. It’s a matter of life or death for my companion.”
“It’s also a matter of life and death for you.”
Vincent lowered his head while the doctor frowned. After a moment of silence, the doctor let out a deep breath.
“….It can’t be helped then. I’m not free either, so I can’t watch over you all day. When I looked away, you should have left quickly. ”
“Thank you.”
After saying thank you, Vincent continued his steps. I followed in bewilderment.
“So, you’re sick…. That’s why you’re saying that you don’t have much time.”
“….Well, that’s true. But that doesn’t mean I will die right away either. I know my body better.”
I ran down the stairs and spoke to the innkeeper. Looks like Cecil went somewhere with a horse.
“Horse? Why did he do that….”
I can’t think of any reason for him to leave the inn alone with a horse.
“Do you have any other clue? Something you might say before you go to sleep maybe.”
“He was drunk, so there was nothing special happen….”
“So you have no clue?”
At that moment, a strong earthquake occurred.
As I walked out of the inn, amidst the pouring rain, the townspeople pointed towards the forest.
Then, I saw black smoke rising from the direction of the mansion, pouring into the dark rain clouds, as if alive.
I heard people say that there was a landslide.
“Cecil, did you go to the mansion…?”
Vincent’s words made me feel uneasy.
Bang, loud rumbling was heard again.
The earth shook while I saw the shadows of many birds that fled from the forest.
“I will return to the mansion. How about you?”
“I’ll go too. If Cecil is anywhere else, that’s fine. But if he’s there, I need to help you immediately.”
Cecil is so dumb. Idc idc.
Thanks for the chapter <3
