"Wang Zhu Ming and Ronald Stewart" Alvin said in his heart, staring at the two famous hunters who also came from the same country as him.
Long before the names Anna Lloyd, Miyuki Nakano and Gina Stewart soared, Wang Zhu Ming was a very famous S-ranked hunter in Southeast Asia.
The young Hunter was famous for his knightly nature which often helped the small town to overcome an A rank Dungeon without even asking for a fee like a high rank hunter in general.
He also did not monopolize the results of the raid at all even though he was the one who closed his Dungeon.
And Ronald Stewart as well. A leader of the C City Hunter Association who was famous for being straight, authoritative and wise in leading City C to the very rare occurrence of Dungeon Break there.
Unfortunately they had to die as a result of the cunning Chris Meyers, known as Chris Maxwell in S City.
The man framed Zhu Ming and Ronald while they were investigating the whereabouts of the lich forces in the port of C City.
Wang Zhu Ming, Ronald Stewart, and several other hunters were killed at the same time. Alvin had read the news about the fateful incident that occurred in City C.
Surprisingly, he met the two hunters, who should have been killed, in this place.
.........
Alvin also noticed some people sitting near Zhu Ming.
Although he did not remember their names, he was sure that some of them were hunters who died with Zhu Ming at the same time. That's what astonished him.
'Why are the dead hunters here?'
......................
While Alvin watches the hunters sitting excitedly in the corner of the room, Mina seems busy following what the powerful creatures in the tower are discussing.
Not understanding the language they were speaking, Alvin noticed the situation inside the tower room after observing Zhu Ming and his comrades.
Inside the room were many objects resembling notice boards.
From each bulletin board, he also saw that there were many sheets attached with writing that he could not understand.
'Like a contest announcement board.'
As he shifted his gaze, he saw a mini bar. The figure of a beautiful elf seemed to serve customers consisting of creatures from various types of races who were ordering drinks.
On the other hand, he saw several creatures who looked to be gambling using dice and gathered around a gambling table.
'Is this some kind of bandit's nest or just some entertainment?'
.........
Alvin turned to look at Mina who suddenly pulled her arm.
"Follow me," said Mina who then pulled him, walking away from the gate of the tower.
Without saying anything, Mina continued to lead Alvin away from the tower until he finally arrived in front of a simple house that, on the way to the tower, noticed Mina long enough.
"We enter first," asked Mina who immediately walked to the door of the house without waiting for Alvin's response.
"What are we gonna do here?" ask Alvin curious. "Are we infiltrating someone's house?"
Mina put her hand on the doorknob. Alvin could feel a faint aura of magic energy suddenly overflowing and evaporating from the door, as if there was a door sealing magic that Mina just opened.
Mina then walked in, looked around the room for a while, then sat on the wooden bed that was the only furniture in the room.
The room was not too big, nor was it too narrow.
Just like the shape seen from the outside, the place was like a studio room measuring only 5x5 meters.
"What are we doing here?" ask Alvin again.
"Waiting for the night" said Mina.
"Yes?"
"Come here" asked Mina as she patted the empty spot next to her.
"You didn't think of anything strange, did you?" asked Mina in a flat tone.
"I thought you were the one who thought about that strange thing."
"You're stupid."
"...All right, then."
Alvin finally went over to Mina and sat down next to her.
"Is it okay for us to be here?"
"Don't worry, we're not breaking into someone's house or something."
Alvin stared at Mina for a while, trying to digest the meaning of the sweet girl's words, also summarizing what he had seen inside the tower coupled with Mina's strange-looking attitude.
Alvin then floated his gaze around the room while remembering the magic sealing the door that Mina had opened, as well as the signboard on the doorstep with a writing that he did not understand.
'This place is not just a planet of ordinary creatures.' Alvin glanced, looking at Mina who was staring at the window with a glare. 'Seems like my guess is right. Shit...'
.........
"By the way, shouldn't we find a way to get back?" alvin said, opening the conversation again.
He asked that not because he hurriedly wanted to go back. He just wanted to ascertain the truth of his thoughts about where they were from the answer Mina would give.
"I'm still thinking about how" Mina said. He tried to smile at the end of the sentence.
Alvin nodded slowly. His calm demeanor made Mina's smile disappear slightly.
As the man who's about to marry the much-loved woman, Alvin should be panicking.
Alvin usually also panics when trapped in a state similar to what is happening to them at this time.
However, this time, he looked calm as if he already knew what was going on and where they were.
Precisely because Alvin seems to have guessed the place of their existence, he instead looks calm, and looks wrong.
.........
Feeling awkward sitting alone in a room with a teenage girl, Alvin finally stood up and went to the only window in the room.
"It looks like they'll think I'm running away from the wedding."
Mina who was pondering, laughed reflexively at the sentence Alvin said.
"There's nothing you can do about that, right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Mina smiled awkwardly as she looked at the back of Alvin who was behind her.
"Most importantly, he definitely wouldn't think that way."
"I don't know."
"I'm sure about it. He always thinks positively about you. Well... Unless Ivory is coincidentally also disappearing from Earth."
Alvin finally turned his head, only to see Mina who was laughing in between the sad feelings he knew were engulfing the girl.
In fact, Alvin was also feeling the same sadness.
.........
"Actually..," Alvin stopped his line. The sadness grew bigger as he just thought about it, not even uttering the thought straight from his mouth.
Sighs...
"It's okay. Continue what you want to say" asked Mina. He could catch the sadness from the look in Alvin's eyes.
