He returned to the dining table once more. The black notebook beside the cutlery was already open. When Jason chose the “Crab Meat Salad,” a few extra lines of text appeared on the title page of the notebook. “Ropes can only lock around my neck.” “They can never lock up my stomach!” “Remember: This is not the main dish, you are still one table setting away from it.” Then, the black notebook automatically turned to the second page. I hope you can come to ‘Hans’ Harbour on the 25th to attend Gerard’s wedding. Jason set down the letter and picked up the invitation and the cheque. The invitation merely contained the words of request, but at its close there was a detailed address: ‘Hans’ Harbour, 111 Duron Street. The cheque bore the number 200. Although he did not yet know its purchasing power, based on the background information, Jason guessed that it must be quite valuable, and then he picked up the third letter. It was written in a lighthearted tone— Are you surprised and delighted to receive my letter? I was more surprised and joyful than you when Mother informed me that we had finally found you! I once feared I had lost you forever. Now you have returned once again. Hurry over to ‘Hans’ Harbour! The scenery here is beautiful, the food delicious, life is comfortable, and the girls are more enthusiastic and generous than you could imagine (you once promised me, to write the truth in blue ink and the lies in black, sadly I couldn’t find any blue (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧). Reading the last letter, although Jason had no recollection of this cousin, his intuition told him that the other must be a… joker. “Parents died early, grew up in an orphanage.” “Received a considerable education and military training.” “Possesses exceptional abilities.” Jason looked at the first letter, musing subconsciously. Then, he opened the chest. Besides the change of clothes, there was a coin pouch. Inside were three banknotes and four coins. The banknotes included one with a denomination of 5. And two with a denomination of 1. All four coins were 1s. After putting the coin pouch into his jacket pocket, Jason picked up the newspaper. “The Disappearing Cat (Serial in Progress)” “House of Divination Invites Your Presence” “Yesterday’s Circus Performance was a Disaster!” There was no question that this was a newspaper containing both daily life and entertainment. For Jason, it was enough. Because all he needed was to confirm the date. The date was clearly written at the very top of the newspaper. Judging by the newspaper’s degree of freshness, it must have been from the last day or two. “A little over ten days left?” Jason quickly packed his things, calculating the days. Whether from the content of the letters or the posting date, traveling from Jordanlund to ‘Hans’ Harbour was a fairly long distance, and he didn’t want to fail the main quest by not arriving in time. Although it wasn’t explicitly stated what would happen if he failed the main quest, Jason couldn’t allow himself to fail, just thinking of the 6 points of satiety spent. Carrying the chest, Jason pushed open the door; before him was a long corridor with rooms on both sides, five houses on one side and, due to the washroom and the staircase leading downstairs, only two on the other. Jason’s room was in the middle of the five on one side. “An apartment for rent?”
