"Yes, I indeed remember about that. But if she is the one that drugged you, how did she end up gone missing for hours and returned to HQ in a tattered state and probably being violated?" said Chris, who sounds rather questioning.
"Well, I was wondering about that as well. However, after clearing my thoughts in the self reflexion room for a few days, I somewhat figure out everything that happened that day. After recalling and analysing the situation that day in detail, I realised that there is something wrong with the facial expressions of the bartender that day, he seems to be communicating with Wille with some sort of eye signals. Since I didn't even notice when did she drugged my drink and never left my seat ever since my drink is served to me, so I believe it's reasonable to assume that there is a huge possibility that, she didn't just drug my drink but instead she cooperated with the bartender to drug the whole jug of drink we shared together." said Sky.
"Hmm... That actually makes sense since if she directly drugged your drink, you will be able to notice it easily. But seriously... Tsk... If that's really what happened that day, I can imagine what happened to her after that." said Chris.
"Mmm..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to Sky, after he was released from his self reflexion, he went back to that eatery to find that bartender. However, he did not see that bartender in the eatery, and instead, he was informed by a regular customer of an astonishing news. The bartender Sky was looking for had been beaten up to death by a whole group of hooligans in a failed attempt to save a drunk lady who got forcibly dragged away by the leader of that hooligan group.
Astonished by that news, Sky then proceed to look for the hooligan group to dig deeper into the whole situation, with the help of that regular, Sky successfully tracked down the location of the hooligans. After beating up every single member of that group of hooligans, including the leader, Sky finally found out everything detail of that awful truth...
"I have recorded the whole conversation with this crystal ball. I believe you might have pretty much figured out what happened to Wille that day but if you want to know everything in detail, you can listen to this recording." said Sky as he took out a crystal ball from a mini warp portal and handed the ball to Chris.
Chris activated the crystal ball and quietly listened to the recording with full attention, he frowned as he heard the content in the halfway through recording. After the recording ended, Chris looked at Sky with a concerned and slightly troubled look.
"That is indeed an awful truth. But... Since you have this recording, why don't you just disclose it? This recording alone is more than enough to prove your innocence." said Chris.
"Chris, it's not like I never thought about it. But when I saw that slightly insane state of Terrence, I realised that it's better to keep this for myself. This truth is so horrible that it will destroy his life, I would rather he hates me than let him to suffer even more." said Sky.
"Well... Yeah. You made the right choice. Based on his mental state at that time, this truth is certainly too shocking for him. But don't you going to let him know right now? I believe after all these years, his level of acceptance will be higher." said Chris.
"You are right, by right, I should be letting him to the truth by now. But there is something in my heart that stopped me from doing so." said Sky.
"What is it?" Chris asked.
"Ah... She was one of us ever since we were still a small illegal bounty hunter group. Despite of that cheap trait of hers, she was not a bad person. All the fake rumours that time has already ruined her reputation, if everyone knows about that truth... I can't even think about it. Furthermore... I was thinking that... If... If I actually followed the flow of her plan that day and fulfilled that wicked wish of hers, will everything be different right now?" said Sky.
Hearing this statement from Sky, Chris can't help but sigh without saying anything...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the same time, Ben who is doing the hourly check-up for Ai is listening to the whole conversation between Sky and Chris, and surprisingly, Maria is with him as well.
"Oh dear... That is awful. It's good to know that Darling is really innocent but... That's awful." said Maria.
"Yes. Despite I have already expected something similar, but to know that this is the truth we have been waiting for, it's awful indeed. That aside... What are you doing in this room? Aren't you supposed to be monitoring Terrence right now?" Ben asked.
"Well... He is under the sedative effect of your drug right now, so it should not be a problem. And even if he does regain consciousness all of the sudden, it's a good thing that he heard this truth by his own ears." said Maria in a slightly mean tone.
"I know you are mad that Terrence had been misunderstanding and mistreating that idiot for all these years but you really shouldn't be this harsh to him, after all, he is one of the victims of this incident as well." said Ben as he glimpsed at Maria.
"Ah~! But Ben-chan! Aren't you mad as well? You can't have forgotten how Terrence-kun pestered Chris-chan to give a heavier punishment to Darling even though he knows that Chris-chan was quite sick at that time?!" Maria exclaimed, rather upset with Ben's attitude.
"Well, who knows..." said Ben as he slightly adjusted his glasses...

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
