2. We Were Supposed to Return to the Inn...

I stood in the depths of an unfamiliar alleyway. “Did I get carried away and walk too far? How do we get back from here?”

Simply put, I’d activated one of my special skills: getting lost.

It’d all started when I was headed back for the inn. Since it’d seemed like the perfect opportunity for some sightseeing, I’d decided to take a small tour of the town while I was on my way. Usually, when I were to get carried away, Tutte and Magiluka would be there to stop me and remind me I’d lost sight of my original goal, but no one was there to snap me back to reality this time—so,without anyone to stop me, I wandered around to my heart’s content, letting curiosity guide me.

Safina, who approved of every action I made, would obviously never have considered stopping me, so before I knew it, the three of us had wandered into a deserted alleyway.

Where are we?

“What’s wrong, Lady Mary?” Safina asked quizzically, noticing that I’d stopped in my tracks. “Does something seem wrong?”

“Yeah,” the spirit replied in my stead. “Ever since we arrived here, people around us have been glancing our way,” She glanced around dubiously.

It finally hit me that the sparsely populated town was wary of us. I mean, a pair of strangers wearing hoods does look suspicious, and I can see how that would raise alarms if we were adults...but we’re kids. Come on...

It was clear we’d strayed too far from our inn and that we should end our little detour and head back. If we can make it back, that is...

“Hmm... We should probably head back,” I suggested.

“Agreed,” Safina replied.

“S-Safina, do you know where the inn is from here?”

“Um, this is a bit embarrassing to admit, but I’m not certain which direction it’s in,” she replied sheepishly. “I know the way once we make it to the main street, so I suggest we prioritize that.”

I hugged her approvingly and started petting her relentlessly.

“U-Um, er, Lady Mary?” Safina asked.

“You’re wonderful, Safina. I’d love to have your sense of direction.”

It was then that a man’s voice called out to us from a distance away. “Hey! What are you guys up to?”

Safina immediately turned vigilant and turned toward the voice. A man wearing a hood similar to the spirit’s and mine was glancing around as he stood in front of us. He didn’t look like an insolent fool who wanted to attack us.

“Weren’t you just told at the meeting?” the man asked, his voice a hushed whisper. “The employees of the Grand Archival Tower are sniffing around for information about Regresh, so we should lay low with the recruiting for a while.”

“Huh? Regresh? Meeting?” I asked in surprise.

“What, you new? No wonder you guys are looking around here. Look, we recruited around this part of town so frequently that people grew wary of us, so we switched spots. Make sense?”

I wasn’t sure what the hooded man was on about, but it sounded like he assumed that the spirit and I were newcomers.
