The plain and unnoticed me is no more

"Lana....? I didn't know you were the woman who was taken away... It may be difficult to answer, but have these men done anything terrible to you?

"Mr. Findley, it's been a long time. I'm okay, maybe."

Evan was the one who found me before Singh.

From the conversation he just heard, it appears that he has come here looking for someone else in another matter. There happened to be an unfortunate coincidence that I was being grabbed, and it was an unexpected development to meet again here.

I mean, doesn't Evan think it's strange to look at this situation?

If you ask me who took these men down and tied them up, you won't be able to answer me, will you? Those people who came with you seem to be quite concerned.

"Maybe...?

"Yes, actually, when they took me away, my mouth was blocked and I was forced to sniff some medicine. It seems that I was brought here unconscious. But when I realized, as you can already see, in this situation....."

When Evan looked at the man with him, he began to explore the killer's pockets, which were tied up and rolled onto the ground. Then a vial containing some liquid was found in one of the five chest pockets.

"There was. Isn't that what this is about?

"Yeah, that's it. Don't open the lid by mistake. The liquid doesn't have to be drunk directly, but by inhaling the vaporized one, it seems to work."

After hearing my explanation, the man who could not discern the contents by the smell began to see the color and viscosity of the liquid by passing the vial through the light of the sun.

"What's in that bottle? Do you understand?"

"We can't be sure if we don't go back and analyze it, but if we look at what he said, it's probably an aspiration anesthetic used by doctors in civilian towns. A temporary clinic has been set up at the construction site to treat the injured. Maybe it was taken out of there. However, if you can easily take it out like this, you may not have thorough control of chemicals and other things."

"We need to report that to those involved in building this town. So the medicine isn't harmful to the human body?

"I can't say anything about that. However, as long as you aspirate a small amount, it will be fine. In fact, it looks like he woke up right away."

Sure, I don't think I've inhaled that much. But if it's a harmful medicine, you could have side effects.

The man who noticed that I was clouding my expression and staring at the vial in the man's hand explained to reassure me.

"It hasn't been long since you were taken. You don't have to look so anxious if you're going to wake up like that."

I was relieved by the man's words in two senses. Don't worry about the side effects of medicine. Besides, I could tell that it wasn't long enough since I was grabbed.

Still, Sin must be pretty worried. I need to reassure him of his worries.

"Um, Mr. Findley. Could you tell me the way out? I tried to escape earlier, but it was just a trail, and I couldn't find an exit, so I was in trouble."

"Exit? What do you mean, you don't know the way to the street?

Oh? Isn't there something like a hidden door somewhere we can't get out of this trail without going through it? Do you want to say that if you know the way, you can get out easily?

I tried so many times that I came back here.

"Haha, sure, it's easy to get lost here. I'll escort you to the street. Who tied these guys up before that? Where the hell did you get it, it's tightly tied up with vines."

"Plant vines?

I thought they were tied up with ropes, but when I looked closely, the men were tied up like vines with their leaves removed.

"I don't know. When I realized, the one who helped me wasn't there anymore."

At that time, I could see a few small balls of light moving at the edge of my eyes.

Oh, just now, maybe, fairy?

Then Evan and the others came and heard someone running in the footsteps. As it approached, it was Singh, who followed countless little balls of light, who entered the corridor with great momentum.

"Seriously! Lana!"

Sin!

Sin didn't seem to be at all familiar with the people around him, and he rushed straight towards me with a fairly impatient face.

When I saw him like that, I relieved myself of all my strength. I thought it was okay, but apparently I was more worried about the situation than I thought.

And Sin grabbed me firmly and held me firmly.

"Ahh, shit... I'm glad I'm safe...! When I turned around, I thought you weren't supposed to be there, and my heart would really stop. If this were to happen, I should have connected my hands. I'm sorry to keep an eye on you. You were scared, weren't you?

Because of the tension and anxiety, or the sound and vibration that was transmitted to me, Sin's heart was beating violently.

I stretched out my arms to his back and clasped my face against the wide, warm chest in front of my eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know how safe it was around here, so I was a little off you... just worried about you."

You don't have to apologize because I'm the one who's wrong.

Sin, who took several deep breaths to help him breathe, checked the surroundings again.

Perhaps he noticed Evan's presence, and felt the force in my arms for a moment.

"Did Master Findley help him?

Usually, Singh called the other person "you" or "you" and changed his name to Evan. Still, Sin's words were disrespectful, and those around Evan had a tingling air in an instant.

"I didn't help you. It was like this when I arrived."

Evan showed the killers who rolled on the ground with their jaws, and further instructed his palms to shake their faces slightly to the left and right to stop the intimidation against Sin.

"Well, if you're going to stick it out to the official, ask for another one. The guy at the grocery store who called me just before Lana disappeared was one of them. When I realized right away that I was going after Lana, I got in the way. I tied it up in front of the store, so I'll ask him to join me."

"Oh, okay."

Hearing Sin's words, Evan obeyed honestly. He signaled his palm and immediately sent him to the man's captivity.
