Whether that feeling actually comes from you or leaks from your bond with your sword, you can’t tell, nor do you really care as you stand arms crossed looming over the slime. However, you don’t allow all of your attention to be spent waiting for him to recover; you also have to keep a good view of the door. It’s rather uncomfortable knowing that one of the group has already been murdered by the hostess, no less. Seo-yun has also taken to watching the door with you but in a rather different matter, seeing as she’s pushed herself into the corner of the bed and has her knees huddled to her chest.
