“Ha…”

    I woke up sighing as the chilly night air came in through the cracks in the window.

    A small room filled with moonlight at dawn. Since I had to be busy starting tomorrow, I had to give my tired body a sweet gift of rest for a while, but I couldn’t fall asleep easily with thoughts as complicated as the trash in the room.

    “Is it starting tomorrow…”

    Muttering, I headed to the desk, took out a piece of parchment, dipped a feather pen in ink, listened to the story, organized the puzzles in my head, and underlined important parts.

    [1. The personal request is revenge on those who did something bad to Leila, and since she is the victim of a weak crime, Ilicia’s episode is related to weak drugs .]

    [2. Something similar to what happened to Layla was about to happen in the forest today. Especially the words of the thief… A thief makes a living by plundering others, but it was worth it to be stuck in one place ? ]

    “That doesn’t make sense.”

    I mutter to myself that no one can hear and then write.

    [3. Guys who were running around in a group with more people than necessary …There is definitely something. If you substitute the word weakness for that something ? Everything fits. ]

    “I have no choice but to wait for Illisha”

    To prove this hypothesis, I asked Ilicia to muster up the courage to ask Leila whether the forest where the attack took place was the forest where the battle took place today.

    [Final conclusion (the reason why Laboille died and Illisha gave up being an adventurer): Layla went on an adventure alone and was captured by thieves related to the medicine and suffered misfortune.

    The man at the store was angry at this and asked Illisha for a personal request, and even Illisha couldn’t stand it.

    They tried to get their information, but it wasn’t easy, and Illisha would have searched around the forest where she was in trouble and eventually find their home base . But what is this?

    The reverse happened, and Laboille died and Ilicia suffered bad things . ]

    This conclusion may be the secret behind their story in the game that I didn’t know about.

    “Ha…I hope this is right…If so…”

    If you use the situation well, you can play Illisha’s episode in a different way.

    That’s not all. DH, one of the dark forces targeting Elysias

    If you do well, you can aim for that guy’s neck.

    I closed my eyes tightly to give myself a little more strength and opened them again.

    “The problem is what to do from now on…”

    I found out the reason for the forced event where Illisha failed her personal request, but I have not yet decided on a way to save them.

    I opened the lid of the emergency escape crystal placed on the table, used the arrow keys, and set the coordinates to this inn.

    “Of course…other than using this…”

    I threw it back on the table as if I was throwing it away and lay down on the bed again out of desperation.

    It’s okay to use it, but there is only one emergency escape fix.

    Emergency Escape Crystal is a very rare and difficult item to obtain, so it is a card that should be used in the last, most unavoidable situation.

    If you prepare well and follow the plan, you will be able to clear this episode without any trouble.

    “Let’s go in the direction of not using it as much as possible…”

    In this situation where you know the information in advance, if you get scared and use your last hand, you may end up regretting it later.

    “Ssotcha.”

    To calm my nervous, pounding heart, I headed to the frosted window to get some fresh air.

    The moonlight illuminated the empty street at night.

    As I was admiring the quiet street for a moment, a slightly large black silhouette that looked like a human figure was moving around the corner of the alley.

    “What is it…?”

    I brought the glasses I had left on the desk for my dim eyes and checked the silhouette with a clearer gaze.

    “Labo…work?”

    He tried to hide himself by folding himself at the corner of the alley, but unfortunately, his size was not easily hidden.

    LaBoille seemed to be watching me by turning his head here and there, hiding here and there before entering the inn where I was staying.

    “Little one, are you there?”

    Eventually, La Boille came to my door, knocked, and called me out. Seeing his happy face again, I sighed with relief and opened the door.

    “Laboeil…How well…”

    Before I could finish speaking, LaBoille covered my mouth and dragged me back into the room.

    When I looked at his face to see what was going on, he put his index finger to his lips with a very nervous look on his face.

    “Be quiet, just in case, I can’t stay here for long”

    “What?What’s going on?”

    I asked because I couldn’t understand the situation, but he ignored my question and walked over to the window I was looking at and quickly closed the curtains.

    “I found the source of the medicine…”

    “What?”

    When I stopped raising my voice at the sudden remark, LaBoille covered my mouth again, sighed, and shook his head.

    “The story is a bit long…but I’ll explain it briefly.”

    LaBoille said this and narrated the story after being separated from us.

    Thanks to this, I learned that the thieves belonged to an organization called the Red Two-Headed Snake, and I was able to confirm that my hypothesis was correct.

    I definitely felt like I was getting closer to DH, but…

    “Wait a minute…so what you’re saying is that the guy named Kai is the guy called DH?”

    “Yes, that’s right! I saw it with my own eyes! All the medicine piled up in the warehouse!”

    To reduce his characteristically loud voice, LaBoille covered his mouth and spoke carefully.

    “Unlike before, the Red Two-Headed Snake organization has become very large, with 5 executives and over 30 subordinates…and 5 of them are elite soldiers guarding the entrance.”

    The information was quite detailed, so I quickly took onion paper and wrote down the information.

    “And again?”

    “And again…”

    LaBoille groaned, stamped his feet on the ground as if he was pedaling a drum, scratched his temples, and then took a deep breath.

    “I’m sorry… I don’t have any more detailed information yet… However, I’ll stay by his side and come back whenever I have any good information, or I’ll decide on a place where we can have a secret meeting.”

    “That information is pretty big and good information. If that were the case, I think it would be better to hide a note or something in a place only we know and exchange it, rather than coming here or deciding on a location.”

    LaBoille nodded, stroking his chin, and told me the location of the place where the elixir was sourced. Afterwards, we decided on a place to exchange notes.

    “When I heard that I had free time like this at 1pm and 3am, I gave this note to the little boy and told him to do some digging…”

    “Aha…So those guys were doing that outside at that time…”

    “What do you mean?”

    When LaBoille asked curiously, I summarized some of my thoughts and what happened while he was unconscious.

    “You damn bastards! Somehow…I wonder if that strange woman Kai was talking about was Leila…”

    LaBoille, who was swearing in a low voice and pounding his thigh with his fist, bit his lip tightly.

    “Hey kid, no Harry…let me do you a favor as a man…”

    “Please?”

    I was a little surprised by his serious appearance, and he sighed heavily.

    “Don’t dig too deep, can’t we just end here?”

    What are you saying now? Do you want me to finish it? What? I was speechless at those words.

    “Do you know what you are saying?!”

    “I know!”

    When I spoke angrily at the absurd remark, LaBoille responded as if he were indignant.

    “I know…but…the body of the red two-headed snake has grown too much, and if…my sister finds out that Layla was made like that by the red two-headed snake…”

    “Ha, they said Ilicia is a coward, but she’s more of an asshole than a coward…”

    “What?!”

    Seeing him speak with that servile expression made me momentarily irritated, so I clicked my tongue and sneered and swore. After hearing those words, LaBoille grabbed me by the collar and pushed me against the wall.

    “Say it again…”

    When I saw the guy raising his fist, I laughed as hard as I could.

    “I trusted Ilicia because she wasn’t worried about a guy like you at all, but that guy is actually trembling because he’s worried that something will go wrong with his sister… What else can he do if he’s not an asshole?”

    A shadow fell on his face, which was contorted as if he was about to cry, and without saying a word, LaBoille put down his trembling fist and loosened my collar.

    “You also have some faith in Illisha, not only because I need her too…I don’t want anything to go wrong with you two.”

    “…I’m sorry.”

    With those words, the guy quickly ran out of the room without even opening his mouth.
