Chapter 15 (2/2)

“There’s only a single bed here.”

“I’m very sorry, but that’s all we have at this time. Please share it.”

The h.e.l.l was he talking about? …Is he stupid? I looked at him with as much exasperation as I could muster, before slumping down into the chair.

“If it’s all you have, then I’ll just rest here. Daniela, you can use the bed.”

“Are you sure? You won’t get much rest sitting on that chair.”

“No, I’m actually used to it.”

“Are you…”

Yes. What can I say? I’m used to sleeping over a desk. I would sometimes get so tired during my night s.h.i.+ft at work, that I once fell asleep in the office. The manager was nice enough to let me sleep then. And ever since that time, I would sleep there right after work. And that was how I became accustomed to sleeping on desks.

“Well, that solves the problem. I shall return to my guarding duties!”

He gave a sharp salute and left the room. No, it’s not solved! I just compromised! I shouted inwardly, but only allowed a sigh to escape me. I should just rest for now. It’s been a while since I’ve run this much. I had been so tired when leaving the park, but I wasn’t sleepy at all anymore. I was bored.

“By the way, Daniela. You’re pretty fast, huh. I went after you only seconds later, but you were nowhere in sight. I was quite surprised.”

I had nothing better to do, so I tried talking to her. Also, I was curious. Maybe she was a fellow AGI h.o.a.rder.

Daniela sat down on the bed and looked at me as she began to speak.

“Ahh. Then, of course, you would not have seen me. I was running on the rooftops.”

“You what?”

Rooftops? Was there a ladder there that I didn’t see?”

“With wind magic. I can make my body lighter and add a boost when I jump. That height is really not that difficult at all.”

“Wind magic…”

I was reminded of how close the presence of magic actually was. Who would have thought she was a magician? She looked so much like a knight-type.
