Resign

—

Days passed and Hansel was released from the hospital. It was also the time Rook and Tatsumi will leave early for their flight back to Japan. Hansel and Jenny accompanied them to the airport and bid farewell. Before both of them entering their flights, Hansel gave each of them a king chess piece necklace.

"This is my sign of friendship and gratitude to you both. Thanks for your help, detectives in the rough."

Both of them bowed to him for thanks and received the necklace. They wore it in the instant.

"Farväl Sir Hansel." ("Farewell, Sir Hansel.")

Rook happily entered the plane and closed his eyes. The cloud that engulfed his heart was slowly pierced by the light of the sun and it the morning dew became an overture for a new adventure. Both of them looked at the window and saw the blue sky which symbols for a new life and a new hope for the Blue Mansion.
