Physics The Greatest Magic

Chapter 291 - The Adventurer's Guild And Rumours

And as she thought about this, she began noticing just how tired her legs were. The fact that she had lasted this long was mainly and purely due to her will power. But at this point, there was no helping it.

Each step felt like getting stabbed, she staggered with each little movement. She couldn't lose him but she really couldn't go on.

'Doesn't he get tired?!' She asked herself, slightly annoyed.

Then with a sudden stroke of luck, the young man took a right and entered an inn. She couldn't believe it. An inn, a place where you can sleep, get food and rest. For many at that moment, it was just a resting point, but for her, it was heaven.

'He went inside, he's staying right? Right?!' 

Quickly, with haste, she quickly ran into the inn and saw him pay for a room before heading upstairs.

'Thank you!!' She cried out as tears streamed down her face.

She then ran up to the innkeeper before saying

"One Room, one bed, one toilet, anywhere, with lunch meal, please." 

She couldn't even properly speak, the minimum required words were coming out of her mouth as she stated exactly what she would need. 

Upon hearing this, somewhat understanding, the inn keeper nodded before grabbing a Key and saying "7 Silver coins."

The girl pulled out silver coins from her bag, without noticing that she pulled out an extra coin more than needed before grabbing the keys and rushing upstairs.

As she reached her Room, she noticed the Wandering Devil, enter the room which was two rooms beside the one opposite to hers. 

After memorizing the room number, she quickly entered hers before taking a moment to appreciate the sight in front of her. 

A single bed with a window beside it which allowed her to see the dark sky and a table with chairs to have a seat or put her things. It was perfect.

She quickly took off all her Armour and clothes before hopping on to the bed.

She was too tired to take a shower or get changed, she simply laid on her underwear. The soft sensation of the warm and clean blankets and bed made her feel like melting, her whole body felt relieved from the stress.

It was still a bit cold, but she had gone through colder. All that was on her mind was getting some rest.

'Alright… Just a little rest… Then I'll wake up and go back to watching him… Oh and i['ll take a shower and eat… Then I'll find a way to get him to help…'

She placed her head facing down on the pillow with a slightly worried look.

'Wait for me… I finally found it… Sister…"

Those were her final thoughts before falling asleep

***

She slowly opened her eyes as the sunlight which passed through the windows, flashed on her eyes.

"Hm… *Yawn* Morning already… I feel so much better, I wonder what time it- Wonder… Time… Wandering…"

Suddenly, as she realized that she had overslept. The accumulated drowsiness which flowed through her body disappeared leaving only nervousness and worry behind.

"Oh no…" She muttered as she stared at the inn door.

She quickly got up before running straight at the door, leaving light footsteps with each step.

"No… You've got to be kidding me… I'm such an idiot!!" She shouted out as she slam opened the door.

Her thought process was back to normal and she was fully rested, but none of that mattered if the original reason why she had suffered everything she had gone through was gone.

As she looked down the corridor in the direction of his room, she felt a small shiver of hope rise up from within as she prayed for him to still be there.

Nervously yet hastily, she made her way towards his room before facing his room's door.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

She knocked three times, yet there was no reply. Still slightly nervous and worried about being a bother case he was there. She debated with herself whether or not to knock again. 

And with no other choice, once again, knocked.

*Knock* *Knock*

There was no reply, and now, only one option remained. She reached out for the doorknob before quickly turning it and opening it from the outside.

The door wasn't locked. It slowly slid open and with her heart beating it's way out of her chest, she found herself staring at an empty room.

"…"

With her hope having faded away, she slowly dropped to her knees feeling nothing but despair.

"Ha… ha… He's gone…" 

———————————————————

The cold blizzard continued to rage on filling the already snow white streets in a deeper glazed white.

Many walked through it with their furores and cloaks while others simply froze to death. However, as a figure of a young man passed by, it was as if the cold itself had ceased to exist.

"Hey… Did you hear? Apparently, there's a strong magician able to clear away all the cold in the village?"

??Some say it's an angel, while others say it might be god's blessing."

Such rumors circulated through the town in that very morning. Many believed them while others…

"You really believe all that crap about angels? It's probably just a high-ranking magician who has a spell which can alter the weather." Said a man as he chugged down his mug full of beer

"Careful, the church have been saying-"

He quickly interrupted the man who he was having a drink with before the man could finish.

"Who cares about what the church says? All those bastards want is more money." He said freely

Upon hearing this, his drinking partner went quiet, and that only fueled his ego. 

*Gulp* *Gulp* *Gulp*

"Ah…! That hit the- *Hic* spot." Said the man, after taking long gulps.

Somewhat pleased, who took a look around the room which was filled with other tables and people. Some seemed to be minding their business, others seemed to be working out a plan and the rest…
