Chapter IV: Twelve Hours

He heard an explosion.

Orphen turned around and saw a vortex of flames so bright it almost turned the sky white—he calculated the direction and distance and intuited that it had come from near the inn. Those white flames, clearly unnatural, could only have originated from one thing: sorcery. And of the casters in Urbanrama, he could only think of two people and one animal capable of creating a blast that big.

No matter which of those actually set off the explosion, he couldn’t claim he was uninvolved.

“Tch!”

Orphen gave up on gaining a good understanding of the situation and simply turned around. No matter how much he hurried, it would take him twenty or thirty minutes to get back to the inn. He had no idea what had happened—it could have been a literal worst-case scenario or a simple whim of Claiomh’s.

He raced through the night streets as fast as he could, throwing a sidelong glance to the vagrants on the street around the fires who were all looking up in confusion after the burst of light in the sky.

Suddenly...

“Huh...?!”

He stopped, doubting his eyes.

His knees buckled at his sudden stop. As he stood back up, he watched a thin figure dart across the street in front of him. Confusion stalled his comprehension, but he managed to keep the figure in his sight without letting it get away from him.

The shadow who had fled across the street and stolen into a deserted building was undoubtedly Lottecia. She disappeared into the darkness of the building, sword and simple bag in hand. She hadn’t paid Orphen the least bit of attention, but the timing was just too convenient to be called a coincidence. No...

This is actually the worst timing... Orphen cursed. He wanted to get back to the inn as fast as he possibly could, but if he let Lottecia out of his sight now, he probably wouldn’t get a second chance to find her.

Orphen stood there for several seconds debating. If he had to choose one or the other... there was probably no reason to hesitate. He should get back to Claiomh and Majic to see if they’d gotten themselves mixed up in some unforeseen circumstances. Weighed against that possibility, getting involved with Lottecia wasn’t worth his time.

However...

...Dammit. He clucked his tongue.

He couldn’t help feeling like the expression on Claiomh’s face he was seeing in his mind was telling him he had his priorities wrong.

He ground his teeth and turned once more. Eyeing the entrance to the abandoned building Lottecia had gone into, Orphen muttered, “Just leave it all to me, eh?”

He shook his head. “When exactly does she think that’s gone well in the past...?”

And he headed for the dark entrance of the building. The white light that had lit up the sky had completely faded by now.
