I woke up and stared at the ceiling for a moment.
It was quiet.
There was no one standing on the other side of a glass partition, looking at me as if I were some sort of dangerous object.
I wasn't.
There were also no footsteps stopping outside the door either.
I slowly sat up.
Then I fell back against the pillow.
"…Oh."
That felt rather good.
The mattress sank a little beneath me, and I pulled the blanket farther up before closing my eyes again. Even the temperature seemed just right.
I couldn't remember the last time I woke up feeling this refreshed.
'I could get used to this…'
The Guild Master was a man of his word.
This was a good room.
A very good room.
Ding! Ding!
My phone vibrated on the bedside table.
I reached towards it with my good hand, bringing it closer as a message appeared on the screen.
[Report to the equipment bay. Preparations are starting.]
"….."
I read it twice.
Then I looked towards the ceiling again.
"Oh, right."
There was a Gate.
