And then, an unknown amount of time passed.

An unknown feeling assaulted me, slowly rousing me from sleep.

… What happened?

I wasn’t sure what was going on.

But things seemed to be awry.

The alarm in my mind rang.

I was still half-asleep when the unfamiliar feeling of 「dissonance」 crept into my brain.

What was that smell?

It was a strange odor with a hint of sweetness stimulating my nasal cavity. Just what was that?

I opened my heavy eyelids.

The world was shrouded in darkness.

The candles had already burned out.

My head was incredibly heavy.

So was my body.

I felt that I was in a dream, and only a part of me had woken.

Was this sleep paralysis?

No…

If this was sleep paralysis, then what was that smell?

This fragrance— was discomforting.

My nose, throat, and lungs all strongly rejected this smell from infiltrating my body.

This was the reason for the feeling of dissonance and the alarm in my brain.

Is the Tsun clan… trying to kill everyone with poison gas…?

Such an incredible thought appeared in my mind.

The next instant, a strong sense of unease gripped me, and I tried to get up in a panic.

However, my body couldn’t keep up with my mind.

I was anxious, but my body was as dull as a tortoise, and I could only move slowly.

I felt a warm weight on my chest.

It was Ai Fa.

Ai Fa’s fingers.

I raised my right arm that was so dull that it didn’t seem to be my own, and covered her fingers.

I slowly felt Ai Fa’s body warmth.

Ai Fa was in deep slumber, but she still held my chest tightly.

I tried calling out her name.

But my throat was constricted and I couldn’t speak properly.

At this moment, I realized how dry my mouth was.

It wasn’t my imagination, and my eyes were hurting too.

My entire body felt dried up.

Is this— smoke…?

Did the candle flame lit the entire wooden building on fire?

No, in that case we would be engulfed in a sea of flames by now.

Besides, others would have noticed the abnormality before me. The ones gathered here were the elites of Forest’s Edge after all.

No one got up…?

The Ceremonial Hall didn’t have any windows, so it would be shrouded in darkness no matter how much time passes.

Even if I focused my eyes, the only thing before me was darkness.

However, the silence in the hall felt like a nightmare.

I couldn’t even hear Dan Lutim’s snore.

I could only sense the sweetness of that fragrance and the warmth of Ai Fa’s fingers.

Anyway… I will be done for if I stay here…

I took out a towel from my shirt and covered my mouth and nose.

Just doing so made breathing much easier.

Also, the sweet fragrance was fainter when I sat up.

I didn’t know what was that smell, but it was probably denser than air, something like LP gas.[6]

Alright…

I groped for Ai Fa’s arm in the dark, and put my left arm around her back.

As I was trying to lift up Ai Fa’s body—

I saw posse appearing.[7]

「What? That brat is awake?」

The voice of a young man entered my ears. His voice was filled with malice.
