But I can't think about it now, I need to know if Endl is already here.

I left the inn room, and went downstairs quickly.

Deby who was downstairs greeted me with concern. Apparently I was unconscious for over 2 hours.

Since there were no doctors available at this time, Deby's only choice was to let me rest to see if I regained consciousness.

"Deby, did you get news about Endl?" (Lily)

"Unfortunately not." (Deby)

Deby knew nothing about Endl, and Dad doesn't seem to have come here after that hour. Maybe he's too busy with all this, so I need patience and can't despair of Endl's disappearance.

After that I left the room. Outside there were many guards running back and forth. They were scouring the city to see there was no other demon within the city.

Because they say that this group there are 3 stronger leaders, and one of those leaders attacked the city. So they are concerned if any of the other 2 leaders are within the city.

After that I went after my dad, I was wondering if they had any news of Endl. When I talked to my father, he told me that Endl was totally gone and was not seen again.

'What the h.e.l.l.'

I was already worried enough, what is that way of talking? He doesn't even seem to care about Endl.

I left dad behind and headed toward the inn that Mary was staying at. I don't know if Endl could be with her, but there might be a chance.

Arriving at the inn, I saw that Mary was sitting at a table in the lounge.

'I thought she would be sleeping.'

I thought she would be sleeping, but apparently she was also awakened by the noise of the explosion. After I entered the inn, I went to Mary's desk to talk to her.

"Mary, do you know where Endl is?" (Lily)

I got to the point, because his disappearance was very suspicious, and no one had any news of him. I didn't want to think that this persecuted child was Endl, if it was him, he would be dead now.

'I can't think about that.'

"Endl brought me here after we finished training and went home. After that I didn't see him again, why?" (Mary)

"You do not know?" (Lily)

"What?" (Mary)

"After the demon attacked, Endl disappeared and no one knows where he is yet." (Lily)

"WHAT?" (Mary)

Mary jumped up from her chair and shouted loudly, she caught the attention of everyone in the room. Mary's hands were shaking.

"Why aren't you looking for him?" (Mary)

"All the guards are looking, since during the attack the demon was chasing a child and soon after that Endl disappeared, so everyone is after him." (Lily)

"s.h.i.+t, Lily, let's help look for him too, if something happens to Endl, I ...." (Mary)

She was so worried, I've never seen anyone so worried about someone who isn't even from her family and met so recently.

"Mary, you love my brother, don't you?" (Lily)

After I asked, Mary turned so red that I thought she was going to die. She clearly has feelings for him, why doesn't she tell him? Endl clearly has feelings for her too.

"This is no time for that!" (Mary)

After that Mary ran out of the inn and I went after her. She was looking for Endl on her own and asked for my help. Of course I wouldn't deny help so we started looking for it together.

_______________________________________

After dawn, we still hadn't found Endl, we were getting more and more desperate.

After a few hours pa.s.sed, there was a commotion at the gate, apparently the child the demons were chasing has returned.

When Mary and I heard this, we ran back to the gate, ran at full speed without even looking back.

When we arrived at the gate we saw that it was really Endl.

The moment Mary saw Endl, she began to cry.

"You really love him, right?" (Lily)

"Yes, I love him" (Mary)

I don't know if she noticed what she said, because the next instant she ran out and hugged Endl.
