🎀 Wisteria 🎀

Once the cleanup was finished, Ilencia decided to check on Darbon. "So, how is he?" she asked, a hint of concern in her voice, as she approached the bed where the mage lay. "He seems to be doing okay," Zerek replied, sitting on a chair nearby. "Well, I'm not a doctor, of course. But he just got a little scared, poor guy. He'll rest for a couple of days, and he'll be as good as new. Hmm, but it's still interesting who did this, hehe!" he added, putting his hands behind his head. "Oh, I think you know," the knight said, closing the door and lowering her voice. "It was your little hero who did it." "Pfft, what makes you say that? What's your evidence?" "Those creeps didn't just wander in here on their own. All our other guys are here. Besides, remember what the boss said about the guild? He brought them from there." "Come on, that's a stretch," Zerek said, looking thoughtful. "And besides, I haven't seen him in three days!" "Look, it would be best if you found him and had a little... talk. I understand," Ilencia said, spreading her hands, "you're a great hero, blah blah blah, but you're a master, right? The boss isn't here, so you need to sort this out." "You're exaggerating," the former rogue insisted. "Even if it's true, he just had a little fun..." "Really? Then go tell the higher-ups. They're not stupid. At best, he'll be kicked out, and you won't be dragged down with him. At worst... you'll become a hero yourself." The next morning, Zerek forced himself to get out of bed early. "Ugh, just like the old days," he said, stretching lazily, but quickly remembering yesterday's battle, he quickly got ready and hurried to the guild. Ilencia woke up a little later and, after tidying herself up, went to check her mail. Darbon was still dozing in a semi-conscious state. In his nightmares, he saw the destroyed headquarters, the corpses of his comrades, demons and other monsters devouring their bodies, and so on.
