[Do you want to use the "bonus piano in the bushes"?] the System responded immediately.
«I'm not very sure about something like this after the previous piano,» Shen confessed honestly. «And can't you just tell me where did he go?»
[I have no idea!] System sniffed. [I follow the user!]
"He stood here at the last time..." said Shen aloud in hope that Muan could offer something separate.
"Maybe he was scared and then he ran away?" he suggested.
"Who do you take my student for?!" Shen was indignant.
Muan looked at him appraisingly.
"Oh, yeah" he admitted, "сonsidering how zealously he rushed to your rescue that time, it is hardly to imagine that he just ran away now."
"Really?" Shen was inspired.
Did the protagonist really rush to save him?? He always thought that the main character simply had no choice when he went with Muan.
"Why are you so happy? You might think that he at least participated in your salvation?" Muan said. "Wether he was or not, he did not play any role."
"Really..." Shen frowned.
Somehow it came out that the main character hasn't really done anything that would at least single him out of the crowd. It's time to change this if the villain still hopes to advance the plot! And Shen was in hope!
"By the way... I think we can be assumed that today we are even. I saved you then, and you saved me now."
Shen raised his eyebrow in surprise. He didn't think that Muan could be the first to admit this. Shen didn't specify that it was necessary to save him now because of his own stupidity.
Shen just smiled. For a moment, silence reigned on the square.
«And yet, where is the protagonist??»
[So would you like to use the "bonus piano in the bushes"?]
«And why is it «bonus»?» Shen worried.
[Since the original novel doesn't describe this time period, there is no classic piano in the bushes from the author. But there is a function for bonus royals that generate automatically.]
«Sounds not the most attractive way...»
[So would you like to use the «bonus piano in the bushes»?]
«Damn, where am I going? I wish!»
[The wish of user number two will be done.]
Shen was waiting. For a while, it seemed like nothing was happening, but then Muan attracted his attention.
"Is that the forest spirit?"
Shen followed the gaze in which Muan was looking, and saw a small firefly that quickly hid behind the houses. Uh?..
"And this city...Doesn't it accidentally stand in a hollow between three forests?" Muan continued.
"Maybe it is... What's the matter?"
"Have you forgotten what night it is?"
"Night of spirits," Shen replied, as if he was on the exam.
Muan looked at him and raised his eyebrows. Moonlight danced on his white hair, making them completely weightless, as if they were a continuation of this light... Shen got distracted.
"Could the boy be kidnapped by forest spirits?!" he was indignant.
Muan nodded, confirming his guess.
