"That! Akk!" screams of pain from people outside the room.

The voice kept sounding over and over again.

I wonder, how many people are actually out there?

A while I waited near the first person who had been paralyzed on the floor. He still could not move fully.

I was very curious about the situation outside. Is Arthur okay?

I ventured to step out of the room where we were held.

Before I got to the middle room, I had to pass through a hall that could be said to be a little wide.

And surprised me...

In the middle room there were 6 adults who fell helplessly on the floor.

Some of them can still move...

But unfortunately, the people were immediately paralyzed again by Arthur with a strange object in his hand and then he plundered the objects in the body of the helpless limp.

"Because of you, I can't go to the library today! Hmp! feel this!" arthur said while paralyzing those who still survive one by one.

And plundering.

I don't know who the real criminals are.

"What are you doing!" I shouted in disagreement with Arthur's behavior.

"Wa! Evelyn?!" arthur said surprised while still checking the pocket of the person he looted.

He finally noticed me. I walked up to him with a very angry face.

"East-of-the-line... I can explain..."

"Explain everything!" I said while crossing my arms.

"So like this... I'm making sure they can't move to hurt us anymore."

"Keep... Why did you loot them?!" I said while pointing at the items that were being held by Arthur.

"these things? I took it for their self-identification... So later, Mr. Meinhard will be easy to find out the identities of these criminal gangs."

"really? Not to steal, right?"

"Trust me, I won't steal anything."

His statement looks convincing.

"From that, why did you get out of that room? didn't I tell you to wait a minute? This scene doesn't suit you."

"I don't know when to wait, and..."

I don't know why my words suddenly stopped.

"And...?" arthur said in a curious tone.

"I'm worried about you."

"Uwaa...really?" arthur said as he continued looting things.

"And what is your excuse! Can't go to the library?" I changed the topic.

"Geh?!... You heard it? ...It's just a personal matter."

Arthur still continues to take items that if it can carry the identity of the owner.

I was beside him, watching him.

After finishing in the middle of the room, Arthur walked back to the room where we were held captive. Maybe to take things from the people who were there.

Soon Arthur returned to the living room.

As the item he had taken had been put into his pocket.

"Huh... It is very difficult to find items that can carry the identity of the owner... So, I just ripped off his shirt containing his name as the second piece of evidence" Arthur said, showing some pieces of cloth in his hand.

"Arthur, what strange object did you use to paralyze these people? Magic thing?" manya curious.

"It's not something like that. Just ordinary things?"

Can objects? Is it something that can paralyze many people including ordinary objects?

When I wanted to say that, suddenly someone who was helpless limp was moving trying to get up.

"Great, we've been here too long... Let's hurry Evelyn."

Arthur grabbed my arm and pulled me out of this place as soon as possible.

Arthur and I ran towards the exit of this place. Arthur opened it and immediately closed it and locked it from the outside.

"Where did you get that key?"

"So... When I searched the room."

Sure enough, it was late at night. Darkness everywhere and cold temperatures hit my skin.

This place is so foreign to me.

"Arthurian... Where are we at?" I asked as I gripped Arthur's arm.

"I don't know... Let's go slowly."

Arthur took to the streets and started walking down an area that was very unfamiliar to us.

I hid behind his arm, terrified.

All around us were many trees. The sounds of the animals I didn't recognize sounded vague. This is making me even more afraid.

As if we were the only ones here.

Above the dirt road, surrounded by trees, accompanied by the sound of night animals, and covered in cold air.

I think, if you know this... I would rather stay in the room where we were held.

I saw Arthur near me. His face remained calm like nothing had happened. It's like he's not here.

"Arthurian... Why are you so calm in this situation?"

"Ah... I-i know... You're scared right now, aren't you?"

"Even so!"

"Hmm...? It's actually natural for you to be afraid under these circumstances."

"But why don't you, Arthur?"

"I'm used to it... When I was still living in the village, I was passing through a dark and scary forest every day, huu!"

"Don't add! It scares me even more."

True, Arthur is a traveller... I found out after Ariadna told me about it after seeing her associate's card.

Go far from where he lives... He looks just like me.

"Ah yes! I just remembered. It should be while we're walking, we should be collecting tree branches! That's the basic lesson of survival in the wild."

Arthur walked towards the side of the road approaching the cluster of trees without fear. And stay away from me.

"Arthur! Don't leave me!" I said follow him from behind.

After picking up a few wooden twigs, Arthur returned to the middle of the road and continued on his way.

Of course I still stuck to the side of his arm out of fear.

It was getting quiet, there was no conversation between us. I also decided to start talking.

"Arthur, if you may know... Where was your village first?"

"In the Alps" he answered briefly.

"Alps? isn't that a region that's very famous for its beauty and tranquility?"

"Yes, right."

Arthur answered very briefly.

"Evelyn! ..Do you feel it?" arthur stopped walking and looked at me.

Heh?! What is?! Did Arthur feel something terrible was about to appear?!

My body started to shake a little.

"What's Arthur?" scared say.

His gaze started to get serious and a little panicked.

What was so terrible that the extremely calm Arthur near me suddenly turned into a panic?!!

"Evely... It will soon rain. I feel the rain start falling."

The rain?

Ah right! I slowly felt the rain fall on my body.

"Yes you're right!" my answer.

"Great, this is gonna be so bad. Let's go, Evelyn! We need to find shelter.

"Yes!"

Arthur started running while holding my arm. Though he was already troubled in the other part of his hand to hold the tree branch.

We continued to run, with the rain slowly getting heavier.

In the midst of this darkness, I only saw Arthur running in front of me.

"Meet me!" arthur said happily.

Arthur turned to the right of the road.

I began to strengthen myself to see where we were going.

The place Arthur chose to take shelter from the rain was a small cave on the edge of a very dark road.

"Arthur. You have the ability to choose the very bad."

"You know how else... There is only this place available," said Arthur gave an excuse.

It's true Arthur's prediction... Instantly after we entered the cave of his choosing. A very heavy rain fell from the sky pouring down on the region around us.

A cold temperature came from the mouth of the cave approaching my body.

With reflexes... I went back and forth into the cave to find warmth and held onto my two arms opposite.

"Are you cold, Evelyn?" said Arthur behind me.

I turned my body to see it...

"The same question for you too, Arthur," I said to Arthur who took a position in the corner of the cave sitting leaning against the wall of the cave hugging his entire body.

He shivered a chill.

So this is a terrible thing for Arthur?
