Day 2 of Trials! (1)

The girls woke up one after another, and about half an hour later, I was finally free to move. As expected, my body was stiff, and I felt tired... wait, tired?

Well, we did challenge the trials yesterday. Maybe I was more fatigued than I thought.

After everyone returned to their own floors to have a short shower and change clothes, we then gathered at the Butterfly Hotel's first-floor lobby. 

While waiting for the rest, however, I noticed that the number of staff moving around was less than before. As soon as I caught sight of a familiar face, Hera, the hotel's manager, I called her over and questioned her.

"Good morning, Hera. Is it a holiday today, perhaps? Where's the rest of the staff?"

As I asked casually, her body stiffened for a moment, making me tilt my head in wonder. However, before I could ask again, she quickly explained what happened to me.
