Like a madwoman, Irina bc9f52d157 ran around the room, 76b875574e desperately searching for Rumpel. As her impatience grew, 161fb086a2 she spun around in 5194d44c8c place and stomped her 6571761a83 feet.9646568662847b64

It was around 4d77d0c0ea the time when 4aee522d49 she was getting 421ad5f68e more and more da9c3faad2 anxious, thinking that a3884a821a Rumpel, who would c71d469d68 have already appeared d01cd03512 without being called, 60eab5cfac seemed particularly slow 11554bb4b1 today.dc6c5c5eca65eb6a

“What’s the matter, Lady Irina?”922cd06887f02381

“…You look different than usual.”4d00a4b6635907b4

There was nothing else 56b5228b11 to say. Rumpel felt blurry, as 83c0da2d0d if he would disappear 0702d04b36 at any moment.1fc462a85468f864

He didn’t actually look blurry, but how should she explain it? His energy, his feeling, anyway, even though he was right in front of her, he seemed very far away.fa5c9ebafe23badd

Rumpel replied gently as she asked with wide, surprised eyes. At the same time, he naturally grabbed Irina’s waist.8d25de76eaf3f9f4

Irina purred like f21e45def1 a kitten, feeling e48f56d703 good. Then, she suddenly 58a0ca4e16 came to her 7689d08e7c senses and pushed 17eb0eb0ec Rumpel away.a28d837764ecb358

Although it was ee0df08a27 only a guess, 340d1eaef6 Irina was almost fe7c1b1940 certain that she 27410db4bd was not wrong. This was because a7eb998f6d there was nothing 607352e5d6 in common between 642b84b0b6 the day she cd8c13fa9d first saw Rumpel f5eb41e28e and the day 251f30a15e she saw him 4bfb8e6f3e again in the 50edeb5472 tower, except for 8c2e7b2ea7 the necklace.855116307c08909d

Irina held out the b7b91f02c4 pendant of the necklace e3185d24ff she was wearing. Then, Rumpel looked puzzled. He looked as if 8700651ec2 he was wondering what 810304a7fd was wrong with this fa97103a0a old, worn-out necklace.d5405871da716837

Rumpel’s voice, urging her impatiently, contained an excitement that was never before seen.50c6f3d5444322cf

Irina nodded and carefully took f0d91a2f4a off the necklace and placed 67e7083919 it on the table. She was so nervous that 0050d6c93d her hands were trembling as f123cb920c she performed the series of 8bfa7a3780 actions.1eb0fd2da08d3662

“…Rumpel?”730980e252bd0445

Irina looked at 69e2177f92 the spot where 33cd063bc0 he had been 9aae727477 standing. There was nothing fdeae37cb7 where Rumpel had 0b4198e916 been a moment cd8ec2c6d3 ago.1ee6afb34ce47c13

Irina looked around the room, calling Rumpel’s name several times, and then, as if she had made up her mind, reached for the necklace again.900296e373f505f4

Irina closed her eyes 124cd670e8 and took a deep a1ce223496 breath. And with an 57e080b8fb almost reverent gesture, 739c21ca05 she put the f82cbb9d85 necklace back around debdfc4093 her neck and d25d6d3e2f slowly opened her 129895485e eyes.ad462a16d0e88871

He continued what Irina said. Irina’s heart was overflowing with joy at the thought of finding the answer. As long as she was wearing this amulet necklace, such a scary thing as suddenly not being able to see him again would not happen.82eac195f1b13e80

Irina was definitely 4255c7d647 worried and anxious eb59131a3c about the future 968beb4d34 because of the 4dfbdb912a witch rumor that 710ba4b8e1 had been attached 6df5a904d9 to her.

Irina asked back in surprise at Rumpel’s words. She hurriedly looked around, but there was no one to be seen.0f1a1d40a9e0ac88

Irina, who was very scared, looked at Rumpel with a tearful expression and shook her head. Although she asked, she hoped that he would say that it was not a ghost. If it was really a ghost, she wouldn’t know what to do because she was scared.6577bf8fc4d495b3

Of course, Rumpel would be by her side, but when he left, wouldn’t she have to be alone with the ghost?df41677a8bb18c68

Moreover, Rumpel was in a situation where he might have to go into ‘hibernation’ soon. If he fell asleep, he wouldn’t be able to come even if she called him, so she was worried about spending that time with the ghost.f5f881e935bf6683
