– Man, this place is really dusty.

 

After barely escaping Ever’s claws, I was left staring at the terrible state of the palace while mopping.

 

Hallways, windows, corners.
Everywhere I look there’s dust as if it was piled up snow.

 

I wonder how many years without cleaning it takes for a place to be this dusty.

 

– What gives.
I have to finish as soon as possible.

 

Enough complaining.
I should probably get to choosing my room already.

 

Ever told me I could choose any room.
If I’m going to be living here I’d rather make sure I choose a good place.

 

I started looking at the rooms on the ground floor.
From the outside, I could see 3 floors, each with about 30 or so windows.

So I’m going to carefully take a look at each room.

 

– First, here.

 

I opened the door at the corner of the hallway.

 

If it’s in the corner, there has to be a window with good lighting.
Also, having only one neighboring room means I won’t have to worry too much about noise.

 

There’s no one else here, so I shouldn’t worry about those things, but I used to live in a poor apartment.
Some habits never die.

 

– *Cough* As I thought, full of dust.
This isn’t bad though.

 

The room was about a room of six tatamis (10m~) and the only furniture was the bed and a small lamp.
The lack of appliances would make this much easier to clean.

 

Maybe I’m deciding too fast.
I should open the windo-

There was some writing on the windows.

 

– ……

 

I quickly wiped the dust off the window with my finger, and then…

Those words appeared on the window.

 

And then-

 

*THUD*

– EEK!?

 

The door suddenly slammed shut, which made my heart rate skyrocket.

 

When I looked at the door-

 

” W E L C O M E ”

 

A message was written with blood.
And there were countless bloody handprints filling the rest of the door.

 

– HYAAAAAAAAAA! EXCUSE MEEEEEEE!

 

After the warm welcome from the invisible people, I rushed out of the room.
I cannot imagine what would’ve happened to my heart had I not been able to open the door.

 

Was the Sage’s Palace built on a graveyard or something!?

 

I was excited to show everyone in Searat how much I had grown after my training, but I’m starting to regret my decisions.
