Interrogation

**Interrogation**

After a few hours of sleep in the infirmary, I woke up feeling much better.

Just taking some recovery medicine and resting for a while has left me almost completely healed. There's still a slight feeling of fatigue and some discomfort at the wound site, but it's nothing serious. The recovery abilities of explorers are truly remarkable.

Shihahime was no longer in the infirmary.

She must have woken up earlier and left.

The infirmary nurse—a sultry beauty—told me not to return to the boys' dormitory but to head to the faculty office instead, so I did as she instructed. I reported to my homeroom teacher, Mr. Osmond, in the faculty office. The cheerful American hugged me tightly and praised me, saying, "Well done. You're amazing." It was embarrassing since I've had very little experience being praised in my life.

"Mr. Osmond, have you seen my creepy walnut?"

"Creepy walnut? What on earth are you talking about?"
