It was quiet.
Too quiet.
Eerily quiet.
Nalia was asleep.
Aileen and Lisbeth though, quite the foul mood…
While the decent guy? Yeah, the guy was just looking out through the curtains.
"By the way-" I aimed mostly at Lisbeth. "What of the underworld? Any word from Karin?"
Ever since I came back, I didn't hear anything about the underworld.
Apparently, we couldn't get in touch with them-
"Once the teleportation gates had ceased, so did our communication with the world below."
"I see…"
She didn't say anything.
'Seriously, how mad are you?'
Sigh.
I did get someone else's notice though-
Namely-
"Underworld? You've been to hell?" The decent guy asked. He'd actually told me his name but I kind of didn't pay attention and at this point it was embarrassing to ask again…
"I have."
"What's it like!? Hot?"
Oddly excited, almost stars in his eyes.
