After serving me breakfast, Brian also left the room to go to work. Finally regaining my usual routine, I made myself a fresh cup of coffee and began the day's tasks. At first, I couldn't focus on the work in front of me, but gradually, through familiar routines, I began to reclaim my world. A spacious room. Bright curtains. Simple, clean, yet unique interior. The desk is organized, of course, and even the bookshelf in the back, which customers don't usually see, is neatly arranged. Yes, this is…-

The morning after being lectured almost all night by my childhood friend, whom I hadn't seen in three years. Trying to wake up with coffee, I had a second encounter with the two cops I met for the first time yesterday. Where, you ask? At my home, of course. In other words, they barged into my house in the wee hours of the morning without any notice, under the guise of an investigation. Frankly, the police these days... As I opened the door to my room, making my displeasure as obvious as…

It was after eight in the evening. The brightness of the room had subtly dimmed, and the sky outside the window had turned a deep navy. Looking down, the cityscape of Brisbane was bathed in golden light. Almost unconsciously, I approached the window, closed the curtains, and turned the light from the chandelier to a warm night time glow. As I went through my usual routine, I continued to talk. "I had a job in Fairfield. On my way back from that job I decided to have a drink and went to a bar. The…

Even after getting into the elevator, Brian didn't let go of my wrist. "Brian, I'm not going to run away anymore." With a sigh, I insisted, but Brian, glaring at the blinking elevator floor numbers, looked down at me. I almost jumped in surprise and quickly turned my body away from him. "Why are you so angry...?" "I see…" his calm and cold voice descended from above. "The lecture needs to start from there." "I was wrong." Staring at the door, I mumbled an apology. "Blocking your…

I ignored Brian's words "Don't bother the police investigating a murder case!", I hung up the phone. I was sulking after being told the same thing by the cop when a passerby helped me. Despite all the fuss, the incident ended quite simply, leaving me feeling unsettled. I expressed my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to her and then quietly walked through the streets of Brisbane on my way home. Australia's third largest city, Brisbane, differs in latitude and climate from the nation's capital,…

TL: Motokare Theon simply gave Ultje a blank, almost apathetic look when he let out a sigh of frustration. “Didn’t you say he’s easier to look after than me?” “He listens perfectly well, except when pestered about magic stones and Lord Yolone. But given Your Grace’s sheer size and intimidating look, I reckon the child’s terrified to sit here with you.” “He shouldn’t have been allowed to eat in bed to begin with. Bad habits take root fast.” “You’re…-

TL: Motokare “Your Grace, Rothy’s just a child. When you say something like ‘hunt,’ it can give him the wrong impression,” Ultje interjected softly. Theon paused, weighing Ultje’s words. After a moment of reconsideration, he amended his statement. “We’ll make sure to bring your lost weasel back safely.” He chose not to add any further reassurances. Rothy gave a faint response—a slight nod or perhaps just a tremble—but he didn’t withdraw back under the…

Chapter 1: The Incident That Befell Me Ah, really, bad things come in clusters. If they had come one by one over time, I could have laughed them off, had a drink, and turned them into amusing stories. I think I could have handled them quite calmly. Unlike my teenage years, when everything in the world was new and exciting, now that I'm approaching my thirties, I've experienced most of the difficulties and at least thought I had the mindset to face them. But with so much misfortune piling up, even…

Prologue With the vibration on the table, a faint light appeared. Without hesitation, the man's arm reached out and grabbed the light. "Hey, it's been a while, right? No, it's okay. Go ahead." Sighing, I looked away from the man who had started the call with that answer. In the dim light, all boundaries were vague and equal, but the harsh light shining into his ear made me strangely aware of the boundaries with others. The boundary between the hard wooden table and the thick, long arm…

Rothy, who’d been eagerly polishing his empty bowl, blinked when Ultje took it away, his gaze drooping, sadness settling in his eyes. Unable to bring himself to ask for more, he wrapped himself in the blanket and scurried to the farthest corner of the bed, curling up tight. That corner had become his own little sanctuary. The bed was massive, dwarfing his small frame, making him look less like a person and more like a lump of blanket huddled into itself. Ultje gave a quiet order, and…
