"Does Sir Ziegfried... not know either?"

"That's right, he hasn't shown up for training for several days."@@novelbin@@

Hearing Ziegfried’s response, Emily’s already hardened expression darkened further.

It had been five days since Ken Feinstein had been absent from the academy.

He had disappeared without a trace.

"Do you think something might have happened to him? Like he ran into trouble or something?"

"...Hmm."

At Emily's words, Ziegfried fell into a deep thought.

"If it’s Ken, I’d think he could handle most problems by himself. I imagine he’s probably doing just that right now."

"But…"

Despite Ziegfried’s calm response, Emily couldn’t shake her unease.

Her thoughts returned to the week-long loop she had once experienced.

It was something so unbelievable, and she feared Ken might have been caught in something similar.

"If you’re that worried, I’ll help look into it as well."

"...Please."

Getting no clear answers, Emily moved on.

She had asked both Adrian and Alicia, but neither knew where Ken had gone.

Even Mary was running around trying to find him, but there was no new information.

It was as if he had vanished completely.

‘Where are you…?’

The anxiety in Emily's chest tightened.

‘Please… please be safe.’

The thought of seeing something terrible happen to him was unbearable.

Fueled by that fear, Emily resumed her efforts, asking around the academy and the city for any leads.

When I regained consciousness, I found myself sitting in a chair.

I couldn’t remember when I had fallen asleep, and I was confused upon waking up.

The place was familiar.

It was the room at the top of the tower where I had spent so much time with Raphne.

Only the moonlight streaming in through the window lit the room; everything else was in darkness.
