Chapitre 103: A New Life Begins

Erwin felt like he had just woken up from a weird dream. The girls had vanished into thin air, leaving him feeling disoriented and confused. He rubbed his eyes, hoping it was all a hallucination, but alas, they were still nowhere to be seen. As he searched for any clue, he noticed a peculiar circular pattern on one of the bookshelves nearby. It was like something straight out of a conspiracy theory - four-pointed stars arranged in a perfect circle.

Just then, Valara appeared behind him, startling him out of his thoughts. "What are you doing here, Erwin?" she asked.

Erwin felt like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Uh, I came here to read some books, but the girls who were here earlier disappeared into thin air," he stammered.

Valara raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued. "Disappeared, you say? How mysterious. Did they leave any clues?"

Erwin shook his head, feeling embarrassed. "No, nothing. Just this weird pattern on the bookshelf."
