"... Phew… Children can be… Tiresome to deal with." 

Visibly tired, but at the same time amused, Dale entered his room, took out his dirty shirt, and sat down near the window, exhaling lightly as he looked at the clouds pass by.

Around two hours had passed since the Clocktower had resumed function and a lot had already occurred.

It was to no surprise they did, given how loud the bell was.

Upon explaining everything in detail, assuring them that everything was fine, he left them to their own devices and curiosities, returning to his room to rest, ready to eat a meal he had packed inside his inventory as he didn't wish to bother Illia today as she worked…

Unfortunately, mid-way through his return, he was "ambushed" by a group of children.
