The party of three left the town the next day. One day at the festival was enough, and they would be able to extract themselves sooner without leaving a trace when things were at the peak period.
With the use of the festival, they were able to learn a great deal of information – at least, Alec did.
He managed to get a hold of relevant information that gave him an idea about what they were going to do.
They were barely out of the town when Alec felt like sighing.
Even Sekai glared at him, and Elysia shot him little glances, as if asking him to take care of his stalker.
For some reason, Alec felt a little wronged when he saw Elysia give him those glances. If she hadn't ditched him earlier last night, he wouldn't have taken it out on that teenager in the first place!
Alec's untouched expression actually furrowed a little when he thought about his newest annoying tail.
He waved at the two of them, as if asking them to ignore the lady who was following them without much stealth.
Alec was quite sure that she thought she was being stealthy, and while she would have managed to pass unhindered amongst normal people, none of the three Main Characters could be considered normal in the slightest.
She did a decent job, but it wasn't enough to be able to fool the three of them.
Still, Alec didn't want to give that woman any more attention in case she interpreted his attention as something positive.
He was quite certain that if he called out to her, her antics would only get worse.
He didn't understand why she was following the three of them around.
Was his rejection of her earlier not clear enough?
Or was it too clear that that young teenager thought that she had to get 'revenge' for herself. Sort of like a princess mentality, like 'how dare you reject me?!'?
Regardless, Alec was not going to acknowledge her at all.
Maybe if he ignored her long enough, she'd go away on her own.

Lucielle Hartknight had no idea what she was doing.
This was in no way proper.
Honestly, she'd even ditched her two friends, telling them to head back without her, much to their disapproval.
But she felt like she had to do this.
Now, though, she felt as if she didn't understand herself properly.
How was it that someone had managed to capture her attention so quickly, with just a few words?
She didn't understand!
She almost felt as if she'd opened a new door.
That man's words to her were a direct contrast to his gentle and calm exterior.
He looked so kind and sweet that she'd almost expected him to reject her gently with a smile, yet, not only had he whispered such rough sounding words in her ear, they were spoken with a tone that matched his appearance.
Just the thought of it alone sent shivers up and down her arms.
What Lucielle didn't know was that she was experiencing the charm of gap moe – as it was commonly known back on Earth.
Still, Lucielle felt pangs of jealousy when she saw the man she'd fallen in love with interact with a girl that looked around her age.
Unlike her, who had a striking sort of beauty, that female teenager had a sort of cheerful and lively charm to her.
That wasn't to say that she wasn't beautiful as well, but the other girl gave off a different sort of vibe compared to herself.
Lucielle couldn't help but wonder whether or not that girl was Alec's type instead, and she felt annoyed when she caught her own thoughts.
It was as if she was turning into a completely different person than who she knew she was.
Still, Lucielle knew she wasn't imagining it when Alec's eyes were a little softer as he looked at that other girl.
Perhaps he hadn't realized yet, and Lucielle would never tell him such.
She could definitely tell, because the eyes he used to look at his male companion were reminiscent to the eyes that he used to look at her earlier during the festival.
Yet, even though she was sad that she didn't receive those gentle eyes from him, she felt her heart beat faster at his cold look as well.
She felt as if those eyes would be able to pierce into her very core, stirring her up from within.
What was wrong with her!
She seriously couldn't understand herself anymore.
It wasn't like she, Lucielle Hartknight, had a lack of admirers.
She had admirers from far and wide trying to win her hand, but none of them made her heart beat for them.
Unlike Alec.
She sighed.
Even his name was dreamy.
Lucielle smacked her face.
Why was she like this!
Yet, even when she disdained herself for acting like this, she just couldn't stop herself!
She knew clearly that her family would probably send out someone to collect her back if she didn't return, but she just couldn't bring herself to go back just yet.
Not when she had Alec within her sights.
Still, it was getting harder and harder to follow the trio stealthily when they were moving towards what seemed like a forest.
She hesitated.
She knew that this wasn't a good idea. Especially not when she didn't have any companions, but she couldn't give up this chance.
What if she never saw him again?
How would she be able to find him next time?
It was those worries that plagued her, leaving her uncertain but equally as determined.
In the end, she still snuck after them into the forest that held monsters and creatures.
Luckily, Lucielle knew that the monsters and creatures that inhabited this particular forest weren't anything special.
Lucielle was a widely renowned upcoming young miss of the Hartknight family because of her martial prowess, and she was certain that she would be able to handle herself.
The young miss of the Hartknight family never tried to go at it alone in the forest, but she was certain that she'd be able to do it.
The question was: how long?
Encouraging herself, Lucielle compressed her presence to the lowest point it could go.

Alec had to stop Elysia from going after that girl that'd been following him since last night.
Elysia furrowed her brows, frowning. "But is it safe for her to be alone in the forest?"
Alec looked at Elysia coolly. "This is her own decision. We have no right to interfere. Unless she calls for help, I won't help her."
Elysia fell silent. She looked to the other man for help, but Sekai didn't have an opinion either way, just looking bored.
While her reflexive instinct was to invite that girl into their group, Elysia thought that Alec's words made sense as well.
In the end, Elysia decided to leave her be, but if that girl who was following them shouted for help, Elysia would be the first to her rescue.
Sekai shrugged at them, feeling bored. He warmed up his good arm.
Now that they were back in the forest, it was time for him to let loose again!
Grinning at the thought, Sekai charged back into the foliage, sword in hand.
Alec and Elysia silently followed after him.
Sekai was quite single-minded in his pursuit, and Alec secretly thought to himself that the transmigrator was a single-celled organism who could only concentrate on one thing at a time.
With a yell, Sekai attracted a fair number of wandering monsters that lurked in the forest's shadows.
Elysia and Alec dispersed, leaving Sekai on his own.
Alec landed himself in a group of monsters as well, taking the chance to work out his frustration.
