The next day, I returned to the shared university house.
Just as I did when I went home, I took the train, fortunately without the need to seriously pack and carry any luggage since I could just chuck it all into the Storage. Incidentally, the only reason I packed a suitcase in the first place is because storing a bunch of items individually made the Storage all chaotic and messy.
It was last Friday when I went home, and today's return was on a Sunday, meaning just over a week had passed. Of course, in such a short time, it needn't be said that the house was in a state just as it had been left.
However, ever since last night, and especially so this morning, the cogs of my mind have been spinning without rest, thinking ceaselessly of the inevitable that would occur.
Originally, I just wanted to come back and take on that Beast Tamer Contract right away, but as was realised yesterday, that will have to wait just a little while longer.
