I glanced around the quiet room, then turned and went to the window. I picked up the mutton I'd just cut and put it in my mouth, savoring the tender meat as its flavor lingered on my tongue while I gazed at
the rain clouds in the distance.
"Soon... just a little longer..."
Once I dealt with the True Dragon Group people in Chang'an City, I'd be able to leave in peace.
Hmm...
Come to think of it, there was someone who'd been on my mind lately.
Wang Wen was a little strange, and so was Ning Jing.
Tsk... And then there was Sasha. Don't tell me... this was some kind of ridiculous love triangle?
It wasn't impossible!
Ever since Wang Wen came to Chang'an, he'd never been friendly toward me. He also often left the city to go near the rainforest and study various creatures.
All in all, he didn't seem to fit in.
A while ago, I'd received intelligence that he and Sasha had an unusual relationship. Ning Jing had never mentioned it to me, though. It seemed... there really was something going on between the three of them.
As I ate and pondered, the dark clouds drew closer. It looked like the rainy season was about to begin again. Fortunately, there weren't many people downstream, so the dam didn't need to worry about them. We could just release the water when the time came.
Thinking about what lay ahead, I managed to calm my turbulent thoughts. In two months at most, I'd be able to set off for another region. I just hoped nothing would go wrong during those two months.
"Once a move is made, there's no taking it back. It's about time to close the net..."
Just then, a strange siren sounded in the distance!
