One Step Forward, One Step Back

With Erin and Roslia on my heels, I immediately headed for the hotel in the center of town. We ran up the stairs to the fifth floor, where I could sense Neme’s presence. Three figures greeted us in the hallway—Leyfa, Sofie, and Gilbert the priest.

“Oh my. Good evening. What brings you here in such a rush?” Leyfa said coyly.

One glance was all it took to tell me she was responsible for this. There was no doubt she was behind Neme’s disappearance.

“You know exactly what—”

“It’s almost as though you’ve lost a party member or something.”

“Tch...”

She was definitely doing this on purpose. There was no “almost” here; she’d taken Neme.

“Enough of your nonsense. Release Neme right now, or you’ll get it,” Erin declared, pointing her staff aglow with magical energy at the princess.

It was a rather confident display. Erin’s nature inclined her to stand her ground even against other big personalities. Honestly, there were times I thought she was too quick to pick a fight, but I was sure glad to have her around right now. Erin didn’t care if Leyfa was royalty or not. Sofie tried to interpose herself between them, but Leyfa dismissed her with a wave.

“How violent of you, Phantom Seventh Sage. Just what has you so on edge?” she asked.

“Return Neme right this moment!” Erin barked.

“Neme Pargin? She’s one of your party members, if I recall. What about her?”

“We already know you have her! Hand her over!”

“How nasty. First you come barging in, then you accuse me of kidnapping with no evidence.”

“Don’t try to play dumb! Note can see everything with his Enemy Search.”

“That isn’t concrete proof. Can you really say it’s her with just Enemy Search? What if it’s all a misunderstanding on your part?” Leyfa asked with a challenging grin.

Erin clenched her fists around her staff and continued, “I told you I’d had enough of your nonsense already. If Neme’s not here, then prove it. Show us that room.”

“I think not. I haven’t cleaned up in there. Who wants to show guests to a messy room?”

“What an obvious ploy!”

“What if you’re the ones trying to pull one over on me? You could be using your missing party member as an excuse to get into my chamber and rob me blind. That certainly sounds like something poor adventurers would do.”

“You’d dare add insult to injury...? Okay, you asked for this! I don’t care if you’re a princess—I’ll show you what I can do! Your status can’t stop me!”

Magical energy pooled at the tip of Erin’s staff. She was seriously preparing to cast a spell. This was no joke—couldn’t the princess and her lackeys before us sense that? I looked at Leyfa to see the corner of her mouth turn up in a smirk.

“Hold on a minute!” Roslia shouted, stepping in front of Erin with her arms spread wide.

With her trajectory blocked, Erin aborted her spell and yelled, “Move it, Roslia! You’re in the way!”

“No. You’ve got to calm down, Erin. This is a trap,” she replied.
