The inn was not actually very large. Apart from the front and back yards, it consisted of just one two-story building.
Makomo went upstairs and crept to the door of Xia You and Cogita's room.
It was an old-fashioned wooden door, and its age had left gaps in it. She could hear the voices inside without even pressing her ear against it.
Sure enough, just as she had expected, barely a dozen minutes later, sounds came from inside that made her blush furiously.
"What a lustful guy."
Makomo muttered under her breath, but for some reason, her legs suddenly went weak. She leaned gently against the door and slowly sank to the floor.
Her hand unconsciously began to wander, her lips parted slightly, and her eyes grew increasingly hazy.
Only after quite a while did she calm down. Resting her head against the door, she stared ahead and pondered the meaning of this world's existence.
But just then, she heard someone getting out of bed inside the room, and she also heard Xia You seemingly say that he was going to the counter to get a few bottles of beer.
Startled, she instinctively tried to leave, but her legs were weak and sore. Forget running-she could not even stand up.
As the footsteps drew closer, Makomo broke out in a cold sweat, her face turning deathly pale.
Yet the more anxious she became, the less strength she had.
Finally, Xia You opened the door.
Before he could step outside, however, he saw Makomo sitting slumped in front of it, turning her head to look at him. Her face was both pale and flushed, her eyes filled with terror, panic, and bewilderment. Even her lips were trembling nonstop.
Hmm...
She looked as though her world had come crashing down.
