How could there be a blood stain in here.......!?

I thought so, but realized the possibility, so I ran to the orphanage.

Near the orphanage were signs of contention and a bloodbath. And a familiar dagger had fallen a short distance from it.

"Youre attacked..."

I noticed that fact and had a chill that made my spine freeze.

"No, not yet, because he's not necessarily dead..."

Yes, I touched it close to the blood buildup as I told myself.

"!? It's not dry! Then maybe we'll make it because we just got attacked!?

So I hurried to pick up the dagger that was falling and followed the blood trail.

Then about five minutes after I followed the blood trail, I could no longer see the blood trail that had lasted so far. Just in case, I magically checked to see if there was anything around, but no one seemed to be nearby, so I went out of the place for a while and went to the crossroads.

Probably, but if I go to one, I think I can go to Youre's, but if I go to one... And I don't know where it's coming from when I'm in a hurry, but I heard the story, so I'll clear my ears. Then I heard a conversation from the crossroads.

"How many times has Schaffner dragged a blood-soaked child?"

"Well, don't say that. If you piss off Schaffner, you're gonna be in big trouble, okay?

"Maybe so, but come on..."

"You know what, you get the same amount of money just for post-processing, right?

"Yeah, but it's gonna take a lot of time."

I accidentally jumped out as I was listening and wanted to inquire, but I was endeavoring. That's how I learned from the stories I heard that quite a few people were being transported to similar conditions. I don't even know what you're doing, but I think these people are involved in the story that Mr. Helga said about a child being kidnapped. But as far as I was concerned, I didn't feel like the number of kidnapped people that Mr. Helga had told me matched the number that I thought had been kidnapped from the current story. But now I thought it wasn't if I cared about that, so I hid in the shadows and spent two men running out in the direction the men walked in.

Then after a while of running, I felt like someone was there, and when I checked, I found out that there were people a little further away, so I stopped running and walked underneath my breath so they wouldn't notice. Then I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, there were two hungry ghosts in the habit that said there was only one kid over there, right? What's this all about?

This voice was the gate soldier then. I don't know who you are with that in mind, but you seem to be having a conversation, so I listen to the conversation about what you're talking about.

"As far as I can confirm, that kid was supposed to be the last one."

"You said there were only three orphanages over there."

"There were only three of us when we looked it up a week ago."

"Are you gonna make an excuse for this against me? Ah?"

"I don't mean to, Master Schaffner."

If I'd listened to such a conversation, I'd still pop out and cut you with the rage that hurt Yua...... I thought so, but when I heard you say there were only three of them in the orphanage, I wondered.

Isn't there supposed to be six of us talking about Youre?
