Chapter 5:

The Blind Date and the Arena

AS USUAL, it was night by the time I got out of the dungeon, and I hurried home with the moon at my back. There were a lot of drunks out on the street tonight, and I was glad to get away from them.

“I’m home!”

I got back just in time for dinner and hurried into the living room to find food was still on the table, but something was wrong. After a moment, I realized that my sister wasn’t there.

“Is Alice upstairs?”

“No,” Father said, sounding worried. “She’s still not home. It’s very strange.”

Mother and Tigerson looked concerned too. Alice usually helped with dinner, and it was strange for her not to be home yet.

“Father, you didn’t peep on her while she was changing, did you?”

“What?! I would never do such a thing! I have never looked at my daughter in that way!”

“You haven’t, huh? So I guess she started hating taking baths with you because…”

<I think we cannot rule it out,> said Tigerson.

“I’m innocent!” Father protested. “There has to be some other reason why she isn’t home yet! Maybe she got distracted by a boy she likes and they’re—wait. Where’s my sword?!”

If I didn’t do something soon, he’d start swinging it around and making a fool of himself again. Granted, I didn’t think he’d do anything if Alice did have a boyfriend. He’d probably be happy for her. If it was true, at least.

“I’m pretty sure this is my fault,” I said. “I’m going to look for her.”

It was obvious she’d been unhappy with me since I got back. Tigerson volunteered to help with the search, but I needed to do this alone. If I could find her, maybe she’d tell me what was wrong.

I hurried outside and checked all the places I thought she could be: the town square, the park, shops, school… But half an hour later, Alice was still nowhere to be found. By then, it was about eight o’clock, so there were still a ton of people on the streets. Would I notice her in the crowd, even if she was nearby?

My only real option was to ask the Great Sage.

<She is approximately 230 yards straight ahead.>

That close?!

I hurried on and found her straight away. Unfortunately, she wasn’t alone. There were three rather crude-looking men with her.

“Has she really fallen in with such a bad crowd?!”

But on closer inspection, she didn’t seem very happy to be there. They had to be hassling her, so I decided to follow. A few moments later, the four of them entered a small pub on a deserted street.

“I think this place is out of business.”

There was still a sign hanging outside, but it was ragged and uncared for. This didn’t seem the kind of place where Alice belonged at all.

I opened the door and walked inside to find what looked like a normal pub. There were tables and a bar, but the people were shady as hell. There were five or six other guys after the three Alice had come in with.
