A drop of blood dripped on her pink dress.

Sora: Your nose is bleeding.

《The lady quickly took a run to the bathroom.》

Sora: Phew... Finally, gone.

???: Hey.

《A voice suddenly came from behind the counter.》

Sora: Oh, hey there Taji.

Taji: 'Sup.

Sora: Who was that lady awhile ago?

Taji: She's one of the visitors from The Big City. She's the daughter of this town's vet.

Sora: Hmm... Wait, what?!

Taji: Yep, the daughter of your boss.

《Taji is a middle-aged man. He is the owner of the Inn. He's the guy called "The Fount of Knowledge" for he knows a lot of things. He has met a lot of travelers from other places and he knows a lot of secrets. He also has a family of his own, but her wife died after giving birth to their daughter who is now 3 years old.》

Sora: Wh-Wh-Wh-?

Taji: Hah! You're quited surprised. Don't worry, she's nice.

Sora: 'Nice'... Pffft.

Taji: Don't judge her. Just because she frowned at you doesn't mean she's short-tempered and rude.

Sora: Anyways, who's with her?

Taji: Her older brother and her grandfather.

Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!

The sound of the old grandfather clock signalled Sora to go to work.

Sora: Welp, I'm off. Gotta go to work. See ya.

Taji: Yeah.

《Sora went off to go to the clinic. The lady went out of the bathroom and went towards Taji.》

Taji: That guy...

???: Where is he?!

Taji: Oh, you're back. You all right?

???:  I'm fine, thanks Mr. Taji. Who was the guy awhile ago?

Taji: Him?... You wanna know?

???: ...

Taji: Go find out.

???: Pfft. Nevermind. Alright, I better go change, I'm gonna go to the clinic and give my father a visit.

Taji: Hah... 'kay.

《Taji chuckled as the lady went to her room.》

Sora's P.O.V.

As I arrived to the clinic, Doctor Yoo was already there, taking care of the injured dog he met on the streets yesterday.

Dr. Yoo: Sora, just in time. I need you to go and get some bandages.

Sora: Yes, sir.

《Doctor Yoo sighed. Did I do something?》

Dr. Yoo: How many times do I have to tell you, you can call me Yoo. I don't want you to be so formal to me.

Sora: Yoo.

Dr. Yoo: Ya.

Sora: Hey, Yoo.

Dr. Yoo: ...

Sora: It sounds weird.

Dr. Yoo: Yep, you're right.

《I went to the cabinet to get some bandages but we're all out.》

Sora: Sir, we just ran out of bandages?

Dr. Yoo: So?

Sora: I... uh...

《I walked out of the clinic and went to the store to get bandages. As I entered the store, I saw a tall figure infront of the counter. His face was new. I think he's the older brother of the lady I met awhile ago. I would love to greet him but I'd rather just avoid him. He's now walking to... Oh, shoot! He's coming towards me. I just gotta-》

???: Hey!
