"Not here... not here... not here..."
Estelle searched herself from head to toe, short of taking off her pants, but she still could not find her Bracer notebook.
"How could this happen? Joshua, have you seen my notebook?"
"Didn't you always keep it in your pocket?"
"I did, but there's nothing in my pocket... Ugh... Could I have dropped it somewhere?"
Just as Estelle was anxiously pacing in circles, the door to the Bracer Guild suddenly opened. A girl poked her head inside and looked at Estelle.
"Ah, you really were here, Estelle."
"Ling?"
Estelle froze when she saw Ling enter the Bracer Guild. Ling, meanwhile, grinned and held out a notebook.
"Is this something you dropped, big sis?"
"Ah, my Bracer notebook!"
The moment she saw the Bracer notebook Ling handed over, Estelle let out a cry. She snatched it up and quickly flipped through it to check.
"That's right, it's definitely mine. Thank you, Ling! Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome, but you're really too careless, big sis. You'll never become a Bracer like that."
With that, Ling smiled faintly again. Then she lifted the hem of her skirt and curtsied to everyone.
"Well then, I have things to do, so I'll be leaving now. Good day, everyone... And big sis, don't lose your Bracer notebook again, okay?"
After saying that, Ling turned and left the Bracer Guild. Estelle let out a sigh of relief.
"That was a close one. Good thing Ling brought my Bracer notebook back, or this would have been a real problem."
"Yeah..."
Joshua nodded slightly, but for a moment, he did not know what to say. He did not believe Estelle had truly lost her Bracer notebook. She had always been careless, but not to the point of casually losing something so important.
