“I’m Your Grandfather!” “No—!”

Caught in the sack and unable to do a thing, Eleena could only entertain herself by playing games at the forums.

When she sensed that something strange and opened her eyes again, she found herself released from the sack.

The one who freed here wasn't Edward's party, however—but an old man with a withered face and looked like he could drop dead at any given moment.

The words over his read 'Mayor of Crookes' and was in yellow: a neutral unit.

Beside him were the two automatons that had kidnapped Eleena before, and they were holding the sack and rope in their hands.

The old man then drew out something resembling a compass and held it in front of Eleena.

There was no doubt that the needle was pointing straight at her.

"There's no mistake." The mayor of Crookes pocketed the compass while trying his best to make a tender face.
