... live free!

In the days since then I hunted demons with Yua several times and went to visit the orphanage. And when I was alone, I spent some time training and making firewood for Yours.

It was about the night I spent about seven days living like that. That day was when I was going to the orphanage to visit and was returning to the inn at night. A man entered his sight as he followed his usual path out onto the boulevard.

"That's, Aldin..."

I happened to discover a familiar aldine. Does the fact that you're walking mean the punishment Mr. Helga was saying is over? and I realized that if I thought of that, the person walking next to Aldine's right was Mr. Elena.

"(What do you mean?!?

I noticed that the men a little further away from Elena were following me while maintaining a certain distance when I was asking how Elena was doing.

I noticed that I looked slightly pale when I asked softly how Elena was doing so that I could not let the men fool me with the obviously suspicious appearance. But I approached him wondering that he hadn't shown rejection like he did when I met him before.

And I saw something glowing from Aldine's right sleeve as she moved to a position where it was easy to see how Mr. Elena and Aldine were doing.

I could only look at it for a moment, but that was a knife. When I realized I was moving with it sticking to Mr. Elena, I managed to endure though I was about to jump for less of an angry moment. I knew Mr. Elena was being threatened by Aldin, and I wanted to help her quickly, but I thought it would be unsavory to take action in this crowded place. So far I think I'm just threatening and directing and I managed to regain my calm.

I figured if I was going to take action, I'd do it after I got into a side road where there aren't many people. Then I went into the side road where Elena's house was located as I followed them while trying not to be noticed in a position where I could confirm Elena.

Looking at them like that, I wondered why those men were following Aldine. Aldin seems to be trying to do something by dictating and threatening to make things his own about Mr. Elena, but I wonder what the people behind him are for. For once, Aldin should be enough to try to do something to Elena because he's C-ranked... and with that in mind, I also followed them gently into the sidewalk.
