It was on this particular that Esperia woke up after yet another night of peculiar dreams which she wasn't sure were fabrications of fantasy or memories of a long-bygone past and after getting a quick shower to cleanse the drowsiness from her mind and getting dressed for the day the purple-haired lass made her way into the dining area to grab some breakfast, although once she arrived there Esperia was quick to notice there was a certain difference in the mood that lingered in the area. People were tense, talking among each other as worry clearly was a recurring emotion heard through their troubled voices.
"Did you hear about it? That serial killer struck again." As Esperia approached her table and took a seat she continued to listen to the ongoing conversation between the two townsmen.
"Yeah, it was old Gustaf this time wasn't it? Heard they found the poor man with his throat slit open, just like all the other victims."
A serial killer? That certainly sounded quite troubling, worrying even and if she was entirely honest, she wasn't quite pleased to think that someone would do something as crazy as murdering people when there was the threat of the demonic incursion looming overhead. Whoever had been responsible for this truly must have been a madman!
"I heard that Inspector Nilan is trying to catch him." One of the men stated quietly, making Esperia raise a hand to her cheek as the waitress served her the goblet of milk. "Hmm, where can I find this Inspector Nilan?" Esperia asked the waitress who seemed a bit surprised by the inquiry. "Umm, he should be at the guard station near the main plaza." A gentle smile lingered on Esperia's lips as she mused softly. "Thank you~" And once she finished her goblet she decided to rise from her seat, handing over the jewels for her payment to the waitress and left the inn.
If someone was causing chaos right before a disaster like the Demonic Incursion, then it was up to heroes to stop him. She might had not been a hero, but she was a member of the Blue Pegasus guild, and as such she felt obligated to help the inspector find the man responsible for those crimes and deal with him!
