Once the chief librarian headed out the tower and made her way to the gates, she felt tempted to wander around the town, but she managed to keep her impulses in check. When she arrived, she spoke with the gatekeeper.

“Gillan? Ah, yes, he was here unusually early this morning...” the gatekeeper said.

“Did you notice anything different?” Sita asked.

“Anything different? Oh yeah...he did look to be in a rush... As usual, he never listens to what I say, and he looked annoyed, ordering me to hurry up and let him through. What a troublesome old man.”

“I-I see... Oh, did he mention where he was headed?”

“Nah, nothing like that. But he was mumbling to himself about the spirit tree and stuff.”

As the gatekeeper recalled this morning’s encounter with the shifty peddler, Sita huffed triumphantly in her head, convinced that her instincts were correct. Gillan was beginning to look increasingly more suspicious. It might have been a coincidence he was talking about the tree, and there were no guarantees that he was truly headed there, but she couldn’t shake off her doubts.

Sita thanked the gatekeeper and left while glancing at her surroundings. If she’d borrowed a horse right now and rushed full speed ahead, she might have been able to meet with Gillan at the spirit tree. Even if she was just overthinking the situation and no one ended up being there, she’d be able to report back that her worries were unnecessary—it wasn’t a bad plan. The only issue was her leaving the town.

“I’m sorry, sister,” Sita apologized. “I don’t think I have the time to ask for permission, so I’m gonna go with my gut on this.” She bowed in the direction of the Grand Archival Tower, where Rachel currently was.

Just because Sita was the chief librarian, it didn’t mean that she couldn’t leave Kairomea. However, Rachel always became worried sick whenever her little sister left—she was so overprotective that it was almost scary. She generally refused to let Sita outside of town, and if it was a necessity, she would tag along with her.

However, no one could fault Rachel for her reaction—after all, it was when Sita’s parents had gone outside town to do research all those years ago that they’d been attacked by monsters and killed. Rachel was worried that her young sister could meet the same fate.

Be that as it may, Sita wasn’t keen on becoming a bird trapped in a cage, and this ritual of making a quiet apology to her sister before running off on her own was one she’d performed many times before. Rachel, perhaps acquiescing to the fact that Sita had a mind of her own, didn’t try to put her sister under constant surveillance, although she wouldn’t spare her a good scolding after all was said and done.

Of course, this didn’t mean that Sita was allowed to leave as she pleased. In general, she wasn’t allowed to, especially if she didn’t have a special reason for it. In this particular case, if Sita
