Regis suddenly sat up from the bed, startling Katherine.
She blinked before calming down and eating her apple.
Unlike his usual calmness, Regis face was blank right now, and his eyes seemed to be full of question marks.
It seemed like he did not remember anything from yesterday.
"Katherine?" Regis had his normal smile on his face.
But it just looked funny because his hair was sticking out in all directions.
Katherine turned around, resisting the urge to laugh. This was the first time that she actually found her older brother quite cute, unlike his usual self. She must have lost her marbles from seeing him drunk yesterday.
She couldn't quite take him seriously anymore.
"Older brother, good morning."
"Why am I here?"
"Last night, you came into the pub and sat at the table next to us together with Gareth."
Regis looked blank. He indeed remembered it, but… what happened after…?
Suddenly, the memories all flooded back into his head, and the hand that was lifting the blanket off his body paused.
This was… not the first time he wished that he didn't have such great memory retention. He remembered everything in such clear detail.
But his face was still as usual as he got up and brushed the dirt off his clothes.
"Think about what I told you last night. However, you aren't a child anymore, so you can bear the consequences yourself."
Then, Regis left the room with calm strides.
Katherine's lips continued to twitch as she looked at the closing door. For some reason, she had the feeling that he was embarrassed. Yet, instead of showing anything, she had the imagery of a cat flicking its ears and tail as it pretended that nothing happened.
Katherine let out a short laugh.
Someone knocked on the door and Katherine absently called for them to let themselves in.
"Was that your brother? Did he give us his blessing?"
Katherine looked up and snorted. "Blessing? What blessing. Need I remind you that we don't have a relationship?"
"Aw," Jae said as she pouted. "But… you won't oppose if I chase you this time, right? Your brother said that he wouldn't get in the way if I managed to find you without relying on any external means."
Speaking of which, she still didn't believe that it was that coincidental. "Tell me, did you really not rely on any external means to find me?"
"Of course not! Since it's a test of fate, then I have to rely on fate, right?"
Katherine frowned lightly. Something still wasn't adding up… but looking at Jae's eyes that practically sparkled as she looked at her, Katherine couldn't bring herself to say anything.
They'd been together for a few days… and the two of them had grown on her a little.
She wouldn't be completely opposed if something really happened between them.
Katherine shook her head. "Let's go, then. We should gather some supplies."
"Yes!"

Gareth snickered. "Are you really going to let them be just like this? You, the great sis-con? You weren't even at ease when your sister went out to the forest to train her skills!"
Regis glared at Gareth.
Gareth interpreted his glare. 'Of course not, are you crazy? Why would I leave my sister in the hands of those bastards? Gareth, my best friend, you have to help me keep an eye on them!'
As Gareth was thinking nonsense, Regis had already walked far away.
"Wait for me!" he called out as he chased after his best friend.
Honestly, did Regis really need to stalk them in person? They had agents and other people that they trusted to do something like this.
Was it really fine for Regis to leave his post like this? There was probably a lot of work piling up.
Well… not that it was his problem, anyway.
Gareth whistled as he followed behind Regis.
Regis slapped a hand over Gareth's mouth. "Quiet!"
Gareth rolled his eyes, more than a little annoyed at his sensitivity. Did he really think that Katherine and the rest would realize that they were being trailed in a town like this where people came and went?
Especially in the busy city centre.
Regis suddenly pulled Gareth into an alleyway, startling him. His heart even beat faster before his face blackened. No doubt that he was overreacting.
Gareth pulled Regis' hand away. "Seriously? Aren't you overreacting?"
"No. I saw her look back."
Gareth peeked out and noticed that Katherine was looking around, then he ducked back inside.
"Oh, you're right. I underestimated her. Should we just give up, then?"
Regis glared at him, and wow – he had been glaring at him a lot today. Look who woke up on the wrong side of the bed, huh?
Then, he paused. He forgot that he was probably in a horrible mood since his sister saw him making a fool of himself in front of her.
No wonder he was in a foul mood.
"Well, do whatever you want. But don't you have to go back soon and do some work? I know you hate it when work piles up like that."
Regis frowned. He did indeed hate it when work piled up like that. It made him feel like there was work left unfinished.
Yet, he couldn't quite trust his sister to those beasts who were after her just yet. He might have given his word that they could pursue her, but that didn't mean that they could marry her!
So, for the first time in his life, Regis… delegated.
He solemnly put a hand on Gareth's shoulder, stunning Gareth so much that all he could do was gawk at him with his mouth wide open.
"I know you'll do a good job."
Then, Regis left before Gareth regained his senses, chasing after Katherine's shadow.
Gareth was indeed stunned there for a long time as Regis' words echoed inside his mind.
Then, he took the hat that was on his head and threw it on the floor in anger. "Did he really just pass on all the work to me?! Why?!"
In the first place, he wasn't even part of the organization that Regis had made! He was just there as a secretary sometimes, and other times to keep an eye on Katherine for him.
Did this make any sense!?
But no matter where he looked, he couldn't find Regis anymore, so he went back angrily.
He sat down in the chair and angrily started sorting through the paperwork.
He couldn't even vent because the paperwork was filled out meticulously. It just made him angrier.
He slashed through a few stacks before pausing.
"Hm? What's this? The Evans Sect's movements? Why is this here?"
