"Circus terrorist attack... explosion... fire... the Aurora Order claimed responsibility for the incident."
"What the hell is the Aurora Order?" Lorne frowned, trying to recall what he knew about the name.
"I remember it being a notorious terrorist organization, but the information in this newspaper is completely at odds with what actually happened. They probably dragged it in as a smokescreen."
Looking at the newspaper before him, Lorne knew the authorities had intervened and suppressed the relevant information.
Lorne had moved into another small inn. He had originally wanted to leave Tingen as quickly as possible, but the mysticism incident had been so serious that public transport facilities such as the train station had been placed under lockdown and temporarily closed for several days.
He had been stranded as a result. Fortunately, the past two days had been peaceful, with no unexpected incidents.
Until...
When he opened his suitcase while packing that day, he froze.
There, at the very bottom of the suitcase, lay a notebook with an all-too-familiar black cover!
It was the Notebook connected to Antigonus.
This...
Why was this Notebook in my suitcase?!
"Meow!" Lucky looked utterly delighted beside him, her amber eyes fixed on Lorne.
"Don't tell me you found this Notebook and put it in my suitcase to surprise me." Lorne looked at Lucky, the corner of his mouth twitching.
"Meow~" Lucky seemed to understand him and gave a cheerful cry.
"Uh... thanks a lot!" Faced with her reaction, Lorne really did not want to dampen Lucky's enthusiasm, but he had no idea what to say.
Had this happened before, he probably would have been delighted. Now, though...
Don't tell me this was another coincidence!
*I did suspect that I'd lost the Notebook at the Circus, but there was no way anyone could still find
