Once Ehn had been put to rest in Amane's room, it was time for her to head back. Stella had decided to stay around for the time being but it was only a matter of time before she would have to go back to work as well.
Stella was waiting for her when she went out into the living room.
"What are you going to do next? The police will be spending all our resources on tracking down Professor Cardin so we will have no time to be with you. Are you sure you will be alright without me?"
Stella asked with a worried expression. The anxiety on her face looked real and Amane felt terrible for worrying her.
"You should not be that worried about me and my well-being. Despite my looks, I am quite a capable person and I can take care of myself. But if you are going to go after Professor Cardin, be careful. I do not think the person who kidnapped him is an ordinary one."
