"The Ruined house? As far as I know, the Luphius house is not that much old to be called ancient, nor it is ruined!?" - Ellis asked and I panicked. Of course, in this world, the house is not ruined any more. If I'm not careful enough, Ellis might find out that I'm not someone from this world. I have to make up something, or he'll suspect me...
"Oh, umm... m-maybe I confused this house with something else. You know, I've been wondering here and there for a few days, and I was super worn out by then. Maybe I've mixed this up with something else..." - I said nervously as I bit my lips, harder.
"AHH, that's totally fine! I was just wondering which house you were talking about! Poor you... you had a really hard time searching for your grandma's place."
'Phew! Thank god, Ellis believed what I said. I don't know if it's a good idea, but I have to stay with Ellis and get on his good side until the very end. We're getting closer as the time passes by, and it'd be great if we get along well. I have to be more careful with my words. This world is new to me, and the least I could do is to pretend to be someone from this world and blend in nicely. I still have to find more of this new world.'
"Hey Hannah. HANNAH." - With my own thoughts, I totally forgot of the existence of Ellis. I quickly apologized before adding,
"I was thinking where we'll be staying at night. It's already getting dark. I didn't know time was passing by so quickly, and the sun is almost about to set."
"Hmm that's concerning... It's not a good idea to sleep out here." - Ellis said with a dark face. He looked worried. Is there something dangerous lurking in the forest? He did tell me about a creepy incident that made some of the Aekaruses to disappear. But that was years ago.
Up until now, I haven't thought about anything dangerous can be out here in this forest. I've always been to this forest, even stayed for a few nights back in earth, and not even a single rat was found in here. But it's different in here. I don't if there is any.
"Why, Why?" - I asked with a scared look.
"Well..." - He looked around for a bit, went up and down of some large trees. He had this weird look on his face that I couldn't figure.
"You're making me scared... tell me already!"
"There's Flosiezanes everywhere!! How are you expecting to sleep?"
