Trash

[Ellie's P.O.V]

After walking a considerable distance, I confirmed the surroundings several times for any anomalies before allowing Jean to raise his head from the back seat.

"In a while, I'll take you to a place. Just wander around in the city center after one or two hours, and they should find you and take you back," I explained cautiously. "After that, you need to be careful not to reveal any flaws to them."

As I spoke, I remembered something but moved my lips without actually saying it. I decided to discuss it with Jean when he returned.

"Okay," Jean replied.

After a few turns, I stopped the car at the same spot where Ahi was injured last time. I asked Jean to get out and handed him two bottles of medicine. After giving him some instructions, I took a different route back to the mansion.

Anton returned two hours later, looking somewhat disheveled. Two hours must have been enough time for him to confront that person face-to-face.
