When the sun goes down, it's ti to rest. People return to their hos to gather their strength for the next day, and disreputable people take to the streets, searching for hidden opportunities in the shadows of the night. However, this is not the case in all places.
In the castle of the kingdom's capital of Parce, laughter, and lively conversations were erupting from one of the castle's large baths. There, so people were bathing right now. In other places, this would have been impossible due to the darkness of the night, but thanks to magic, nothing is truly impossible.
“Waahhh. This is incredible"
“This is a proper bathroom”
"Yeah. It's a sha we can't do it ourselves"
"True. Magic is very convenient”
"How envious. You can bathe like this whenever you want"
A group of girls were pulling each other, complinting one of them, enjoying a hot bath.
"It's not a big deal" Miyu replied embarrassed. All she had done was use a few low-level spells. She didn't think it was sothing to be praised for.
Most of the people there were 16-17 year old girls, except for a slightly older woman, whose body had fully developed. The voluptuous woman slowly approached the place where Miyu was, before the envious looks of the other girls.
“Don't underestimate yourself, none of us could have done sothing like that. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Your magic is impressive”
Miss Kaede said as she smiled sweetly. Miyu was too embarrassed by the complint to reply, so all she could do was nod. Seeing this, giggles escaped from the rest of the girls, which embarrassed her even more.
“Taking a bath feels really good. We are going to miss you Miyu” Realizing what she had said, the girl tried to cover her mouth, but it was too late. One by one, the girls stopped talking, and a depressive atmosphere appeared in the place.
This was their last night here. They had all tried not to think about what would happen in the future. They were mature enough to realize that their training was not free.
Just thinking about what they experienced the last ti they went to a dungeon, so of the girls couldn't help but start trembling. Until recently they were normal girls, and now they are forced to wield a weapon. If there was any way, they would give anything to return to their forr life. Even so, none of them shed a tear, the ti for that had passed.
“I am sure that everything will be fine. The next ti we et, I want you to use those wonderful tailoring skills of yours to make us so beautiful dresses” Kaede felt lost for a mont, but she recovered almost instantly. She had experience with situations like this before, and she knew exactly what to say to defuse the situation.
Hearing Miss Kaede's words, the other girls' eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's true"
"Why haven't we thought of this before?"
"I want a blue skirt!"
"I would like to have a sumr dress!"
"I…"
"Eh? That-" The situation had changed so quickly that Miyu couldn't react as she was inundated with requests from all sides. Monts later, no one could rember why they were depressed a minute ago. Miss Kaede had a small smile on her mouth.
Little by little, the girls finished bathing and went to their rooms to rest. Kaede was the last to leave, making sure that none of her forr students had been left behind.
After drying off and putting on her clothes, Kaede returned to her room. The mont she entered, her previously relaxed eyes sharpened, and her hand went to the sword lying in the corner. As she grabbed the sword from her, Kaede thoroughly inspected her room.
Sothing had changed.
Although Kaede and her students seem to be the sa as before, the truth is that Zack is not the only one who has grown stronger. Everyone has changed, in one way or another. The advantages that Zack has, his teammates also have them. The six months of training that they have undergone is the equivalent of more than a decade for the people of this world. Kaede is a qualified Sword Dancer.
After looking around, she lowered her sword carefully. While examining her room she realized that whoever was there, had already left. Even so, Kaede's expression did not relax.
Ever since they ca into this world, she has been under a lot of pressure. She, like so of her students, is well aware that the people of the castle are not her allies, and she must not let her guard down completely at any ti.
Only an idiot would think it's a coincidence that soone entered his room the night before everyone left the castle. Her gut is telling her that the person who ca here had a very important reason for it.
Don't underestimate the instinct of a warrior. Many opponents underestimate close combat classes, only to be decapitated with the slightest carelessness.
(Why did soone co to my room?) Kaede thought.
The only thing she could do was turn the bedroom upside down in search of sothing that had changed.
…
Twenty minutes later, the once spotless room was unrecognizable. The drawers were ssy, the furniture was in different places, and even the bed was completely unmade and scattered.
"Uff, uff..."
Kaede sat down in one of the few spaces available on the bed to rest, exhausted after having made such a ss.
Nothing. No matter how long she searched, nothing had changed. The only thing different is that now her place was a ss, and she needed another shower.
(Could it be my imagination? No, I'm sure soone got in. Maybe they got in here by mistake?) Miss Kaede thought as she caught her breath.
Seeing the condition of her room, she started to get depressed. She not only didn´t find what she was looking for, but she also had to tidy up her room again. With a sigh, Kaede got up and began to order.
Eh?
After moving the bed back to her place. Grabbing her clothes, she noticed sothing that wasn't supposed to be there.
The garnts in her hands were being picked up and discarded, until she was left with only one jacket. Holding it in her hands, Kaede's face took on a complicated expression.
This jacket was sothing she was wearing when she was brought into this world. mories of the past flooded her mind for an instant. Kaede shook her head to remove those thoughts. That was not the reason why she had her jacket in her hands.
(It feels heavier than I rembered) Kaede thought as she held it carefully.
Kaede's impression was not false. The jacket was heavier than before. Probably a couple of grams, but that's enough for a tier 2 class to notice the difference.
She picked up the jacket and carefully examined it on all sides, not leaving a fold out of place.
As her delicate hands slipped into one of her pockets, Kaede felt sothing rough touch her fingers. However, when she looked inside it there seed to be nothing. Kaede reached back into her pocket, and she again noticed that texture that shouldn't be there. Her fingers slid across that surface, trying to find its edge, until she felt where it was located.
Crack!
A loud cracking sound sounded inside her jacket. Horrified, Kaede probed inside it, thinking that she had broken it. This was her favorite jacket, containing mories of her ho, so she did not want it to co to tatters.
To her surprise, when she went back to examine the place where that noise ca from, the jacket was intact, but sothing had appeared inside its pocket. After picking up the mysterious object and making it appear to the candlelight of the room, the object revealed its shape to her. Kaede's eyes widened as she saw a delicate letter between her fingers.
Kaede's expression turned serious. The thods used to send it were beyond the reach of ordinary people. Only a select group could do what had just happened: Mages.
Regardless of the content of the letter, she was sure that the re fact that soone had resorted to sending it in this way could not an anything good. After making sure it was safe, Kaede carefully opened the letter with her hands, and read its contents, carefully, not skipping a single comma.
The minutes passed, and turned into hours, as Kaede continued with the letter in her hands. Kaede was still reading with the sa expression she had the first ti she read the letter. Even after having morized the content of it, it seed that the words in it didn't quite resonate inside her.
Fhuooosshhhh
Suddenly the letter burned itself as if by magic, turning into small ashes that disappeared as if they had been blown away by the wind. Only, there was no wind, there was nobody else here but her, leaving Kaede's shocked and dismayed face as the only proof that there had been sothing here.
Coming to her senses, Kaede ran out of the room without looking back to inform the students of her, leaving behind an empty room, and a lone candle swaying in the wind that manifested with her departure.
