I mean, was I maybe in the same state myself just now?
I’ll check my status.

It doesn’t seem to be a condition.
Or rather, ……, did the level reset go into effect?
It’s true that the show was late at night, so it looks like we straddled the date without realizing it.
Gently closing the status, I check my surroundings again.
The place was silent, and the audience didn’t move a muscle.
As I remained helpless in this bizarre situation, one of the men unexpectedly stepped onto the stage.
“This is the end of the performance. Please come back tomorrow.”
The moment he said that, the men around him stood up quickly and all of them headed for the exit with the movements of a sophisticated army.
Oh, my God!
I thought so, and I acted as if my soul had been drained to fit in with my surroundings, and I followed them.

“That’s what happened.”
“I see. That’s a little fishy.””
I managed to get back to the inn and report to Keith who was waiting for me.
Keith took that in and hemmed and hawed.
“But to be clear, I don’t think there’s any connection between this and the skill crystal thing. In fact, it’s a good thing that the benefits of the level reset brought me back to my senses. I think it would be wise not to get any further involved in this.”
“Yeah. I’m with you on that one. I agree with you. ……”
“Huh?”
“I don’t think she’s the kind of girl who would do something like that for no reason. …… No, no, no, no, what am I talking about?”
I shake my head to get rid of such thoughts that suddenly came to my mind.
“Is there still an abnormality?”
“No, it’s just my imagination. Don’t worry about it.”
Yes, it must be my imagination.
Keith’s right, it’s unlikely that this fits with what we’re after.
I’m glad I came back without incident, so let’s forget about this.

“It’s strange…”
“What’s the matter, Luriel?
The Leader reacts to my muttering.
“We’re short one.”
“What do you mean?”
I explain the discomfort I felt to the Leader.
A few days have passed since we returned from the traveling show.
Since the first day, I’ve been sowing the seeds with a glossy dance and checking on the movements of those people, but I’m still missing one person.
The people who sowed the seeds, as usual, attend my performances day in and day out.
Yes, they should have been fascinated.
That person, the only person I cared about that day, I haven’t seen since the second day.
At first I thought I just couldn’t get into a full house show.
But no matter how many days passed, even when I asked the Leader to hastily add standing room, I could not see him.
“Don’t tell me he has escaped from my fascination with ……?”
“Nonsense. It can’t be.”
“I think so, too. But…
I can’t believe it, but that’s what I think.
If that’s the case, he’s the …… I’ve been looking for.
