Chapter 5 - That Exit Door

"What?" - Alesha

"As i have said, i want to temporarily-" - Kyne

Alesha shook her head repeatedly.

"No no no, what are you talking about, resigning out of the blue like that.." - Alesha

"What's the reason!?, did someone force you into doing this? Who is it-" - Alesha

Kyne interrupted her words as he can't let a misunderstanding happen, he explained to Alesha his reason, about None, and how he wants to find a way to capture her, Alesha tried to change Kyne's mind, she offer Kyne for some bonus wage at work and other things, but it seems like Kyne is already made his final decision.

"Sigh, are you really sure about this? You want to become an independent detective?" - Alesha

"Yes, although i might have resigned from my job, i will not forget this place." - Kyne

'Ughh.. Kyne is one of the more precious employee that we have, losing him would mean a significant loss in our power!..' - Alesha thought while biting her fingernails.

She made one final look at Kyne's eyes and concludes that he is already far too stubborn to listen to her anymore, not with those determination look on his face.

"Sigh, fine.. I'll prepare the paperwork, i'll inform you.. Umm, maybe tomorrow." - Alesha

"Thank you, Chief." - Kyne

And with that, Kyne turned back and walks away from Alesha, exiting the room, but before he could close the door after exiting, Alesha spoke out from inside.

"You know, we'll miss your presence here, make sure to take care of yourself." - Alesha smiled.

Kyne smiled back, he lets out a little smile towards her and finally closes the door, with him saying his final words.

"You too, Chief."

[ Tomorrow Morning ]

The resignation has gone smoothly and now Kyne is currently in the process of stamping the approval letter, it requires both of him and Alesha's stamp, after that, he is officially no longer affiliated nor work with the Crime Management Office, the whole thing is quite similar to a retirement, Kyne was given an identification card to show proof that hes a former member of the Crime Management.

This way, he can easily make connection with other people or organization in case hes trying to do some business.

After bidding goodbyes to all of his friends and colleagues, Kyne leaves through the front door, He brought a bag that contained his belongings, and also some money that the office decided to give him in honor of his work for the past 8 years.

"This felt like im back to my teenage self.." - Kyne

"Hey!" - ???

Someone called Kyne from behind, it was Tundra, he waved his hand as a final goodbye and also smiled through the whole thing.

"Take care of yourself and lets meet again soon!" - Tundra

Seeing his only close comrade, or friend he'd like to call it, Kyne can't help but to smile back at Tundra.

"Haahh, you're such a pain the ass, truly" - Kyne whispered

"I know dumbass! You can expect me to come back! and when that time comes, I'll be even more stronger than ever!" - Kyne

Without waiting any longer, Kyne began his step, with the goal of one day, he will meet with None again, no, he will not just wait for it to happen, he will make it happen, he will find None no matter where she is, and keeps fighting and fighting until she is defeated.

The first location that Kyne wants to visit is an inn where he can comfortably sleep at night, he is walking towards the northwest direction and follows the main street.

With how clear the weather today is, and the bustling city streets that is filled with horse carriages from various merchants and farmers, all of this scene made Kyne smiled a bit.

After a 15 minutes walk, Kyne eventually found an inn, its not a popular nor big sized inn, he just picked the first inn that he sees.

Opening the door, Kyne was greeted by the innkeeper and his son.

"Welcome" - Innkeeper

"Welcome!" - Innkeeper's son

'Hmm.. more people than i thought..' - Kyne thought

Seeing the inside, Kyne can see that there are more people than he originally expected, probably because this inn is close with the main street, its easy to spot and can be a great choice when you cannot find other inns in the area.

Kyne approached the innkeeper behind the counter and sat down on one of the wooden chair, the joyous laughter and unending talks is echoing throughout his ears, people around him are clearly enjoying their time here.

"What can i help?" - Innkeeper

"I want to borrow a room" - Kyne

"That'll be a silver per night" - Innkeeper

Checking his bag for the money that he received from his previous job, Kyne didn't realized that all of the money were paid with gold coins, furthermore its not just a couple hundred, there is an entire smaller bag full of gold coins, there should be almost a hundred inside.

'What the fuck.. Oh well, okay i guess' - Kyne thought

"Here" - Kyne

He pulled out a gold coin and watched the innkeeper's face as he was shocked by it.

"O- OH.. Ah, a- alright then, i'll prepare a room for you.." - Innkeeper

The innkeeper put the gold coin in a cabinet drawer along with other coins each with its own place, he then give Kyne the change for his coin and also gave him a room key.

"DREW! PLEASE GUIDE THIS CUSTOMER TO THEIR ROOM!" - Innkeeper

"Suree!" - Drew

"Ah, by the way, my name is Alem Entel, feel free to call me if you need something!" - Alem

"Alright, mine's Kyne, nice to meet you" - Kyne

Kyne then got guided by Drew, the innkeeper's son, to his room at fhe second floor, going inside, the room is surprisingly clean, and the bed looks comfy enough, there's a wardrobe and also a studying table for someone that might needs it, it also serves as a table for food, maybe.

'Looks Okay..' - Kyne

He puts his bag ontop of the table and also took out his coat before laying down on bed, its decently bouncy, not bad, he can sleep comfortably with it.

However, after just a few minutes, Kyne gets up from his bed and walked downstair where he met Alem again, the reason Kyne came back was simple, he's hungry.

"Alem, what do you serve here?" - Kyne
