Chapter 62 (2/2)
It was a ru like wildfire between the townsfolk as of late
There didn't have any rhyme or reason behind the sounds as they bubbled up to the surface at all tiht The sounds were muffled and difficult tofro like a wall suddenly being hit hard with a ha scraped down a sheet of iron Other tih pitched screech that sounded alure out just what the cause or nature of these sounds was All they knew is that they wanted those horrible echoes fro the rounds about it had begun to grow outlandish, such as it all being caused by a wailing revenant or an abhorrentbeneath the streets?
The oldto hear those unpleasant noises day in and day out, asked Klaus if he could do soreat reason behind it So is there anything wrong with having you guys help check it out?”
Klaus, the ever faithful student, seemed to jump at the old man's request to find a solution to the noise pollution After that he had tried to catch up with people all over town, collecting ruuide, after all, Camilla and the rest had followed him…
The destination they eventually arrived at was this abandoned diner
“Mistress, we really should stop after all We don't knohat kind of place this is, it o back with Lord Alois”
Nicole looked up at Ca to her sleeve Was she worried for Cao back herself, because of a fear of the unknown?
But, noeyes looked, Ca to the ht now is…
If she walked back with Alois, Nicole would have to keep several steps behind them at a respectful distance for a servant Klaus didn't see around the diner so she would be left to walk alone with Alois She had no idea what to talk with him about, but the inevitable aard silence that would fill the vacuum would be even more unbearable
If that was the case, it would actually be preferable to engage in Klaus'the town, after all, talking to all sorts of people and entering interesting shops she would have never thought of visiting by herself
Camilla recalled the ti h town Back then, coular coher stakes It really was reckless for so back
But despite that, Cah this abandoned place If Camilla was alone, it would be fine… Well, not exactly fine, but she could take personal responsibility if anything happened But right now, Alois and Nicole ith her as well She would feel guilty if she dragged Nicole into so she clearly didn't want to do and there would be serious consequences should any harm befall Alois Should she just endure the aardness and return with Alois?
– I really don't feel like going back after all…
“Lord Alois… What would you like to do?”
I don't want to go back As Camilla spoke quietly to Alois, she did her best to project those feelings through her voice Alois looked at Camilla, then nodded as if it were only natural
“Let's do it”
“Yes… Excuse round”
Camilla blinked in surprise She was certain that Alois would say soo back' Alois was the lord of this land, after all It was strange for hi shop, erous? We don't knohat's down there?”
“Well, we'll just have to e somehow I'm also worried about the source of the noise, after all”
“Hoill you e down there!?”
Klaus was dainty and Alois was unfit No ht about it, she couldn't see either of theency Of course, Camilla had no power herself, she would probably even lose to Nicole in an aro back”
As Camilla stood in confusion, Klaus' voice echoed from the back of the abandoned diner
“That's 'cause he's keeping an eye on me, after all”
“…An eye? What do youat Ca From where he was, he first looked at Camilla who had a puzzled frown on her face, then at Alois as scratching his cheek aardly
Alois grimaced as Klaus looked at hiht red-handed
Klaus sighed, his usual laissez-faire expression hardening ever so slightly
“That guy wasn't interested in looking at the town fro, only at me He even waived an escort just to try and put ic, so there shouldn't be a problem”
Klaus looked more and more irritated as he continued to speak
“Was it father that put you up to this? Since I'race of a son I aet you on-side”
Camilla slowly turned away froaze, his face looked apologetic
“I'm sorry But, Camilla, it really is true that I wanted to take a ith you If things get busy froet the opportunity”
“Man, this guy is a all principled at the drop of a hat He deceived uy he is! And that's why I hate him!”
As Klaus spat those words at hihtly His expression was coe sense of affection… Just as that? Coood uy like you doesn't make me happy at all, y'know”
With a disue, Klaus went into the depths of the diner alone
Alois stepped forward as if to follow him, then turned back towards Camilla
As Alois looked at Camilla, neither of them said a word
Another aard silence
She didn't want to be alone with hi with hi that way e sense of depression
Once again, Cas of hers
Adventure time
