He quickly made it out of bed and prepared his gear. The long, green jacket along with everything else, and of course with his companion Coda, accompanied him as he went out of the door. The apartment was small, but it suited him as he wasn’t familiar with tall houses like these yet. Back in Worth Woodsea, he lived in a cottage that was only two floors. There were 3 meters up to the first floor, so it was smaller than normal, two-floored houses. He didn’t bump his head into the ceilings here, which eased his troubles. Coda wasn’t feeling home, though; the poor girl missed the good-old cottage that smelled like nature’s pinnacle. Hyōen could clearly hear the saddened whistles and songs from the bird and began nuzzling its forehead. “Hey, don’t be down like that, it’ll be better. Trust me,” he assured it as he made it out of the door.
“Hm… wait, there was this Nilan guy, weren’t there?” he asked himself. Dacol had mentioned him to go and search up Nilan, an investigator that would- yes, the damn sabbath, that was it! There was this real investigator that Dacol had asked Hyōen to meet, and it was that guy! Oh, Hyōen couldn’t wait to meet him! “Finally, a literal investigator! Dex will be so jealous of us, Coda..!” His fists almost clenched out flames by the excitement, but his hair grew out fire a long time ago. People even looked at him from the street, gawking at the burning hair. Some even tried to call for firemen, but Hyōen heard nothing as he strolled to find Nilan.
At the middle of a forum, he found a jacket belonging to a tall, black-haired male with a tall face and expression. Walking towards him, Hyōen found obstacles in form of people and crowds, but eventually, he made it all the way to the investigator. “Hey, i-is it you?” he asked out. The male looked down and smiled calmly. “You must be Hyōen? I’ve heard about you. My name is Nilan; you might’ve heard me from Dr. Dacol.” The man gave his hand out and shook Hyōen’s, while Coda shrieked in curiosity. “I’d like to ask you a few questions. I wasn’t with you yesterday, so I don’t know much about the ‘spirit’, but if you may, then perhaps I can get some clear information about the situation?”
