After Rei had eaten the soup, he waited for the elf to come back and was thinking about how to answer the questions that the elf might ask. But, after waiting for half an hour, the elf still did not return, and it made Rei worried.

'Did I mishear what she said?' Rei tried to convince himself that he just misheard the words of the elf that she will just get some water and come back. But an eerie feeling surged in his heart as he continued to wait for the elf to return. Rei continued to endure the strange feeling and tried to persist his body from moving out the bed and opening the door.

"A quick peek will not hurt, right?"

Rei convinced himself and quickly got out of the bed. He quickly saw his slippers beside the bed, and his heart quickly warmed up as he saw that his slippers were all cleaned up, not a single dirt remained. Rei wore the slippers silently as his tiptoed towards the door. He was about to open the door and peek outside when he heard an unbridled laughter of a man which was then followed by a loud shout.

"What can you do?! Sterak is not here yet; you think you can hurt me?!"

After he had heard the man's words, there was a loud 'bang' and Rei heard the cries of agony. "Hahaha, you piece of shit. When your stupid husband comes home, let's see the look on his face when he sees you dead!"

The sound of slapping someone echoed throughout the house. Rei had the urge to step in and stab the man in the back, but he was also afraid since it was dangerous. His mind thought of plans that would save the life of the elf, but he also thought that there might be some probability that the man has some accomplices or some special abilities that he cannot fathom.

His heart became agitated as he thought about left and right, help or run. Rei had no weapon nor a skill that he could use to kill a bad guy instantly. An idea suddenly formed in his mind as he suddenly moved his body to find any objects that would be useful in the situation outside.

Rei opened the drawers and searched the closets, hoping that he would find something useful. But reality struck him hard as he found not a single thing that would make the outside fight stop. A sudden realization hit him as he thought about what might happen if the man tried to pillage the house after killing the elf. 'Wouldn't the bad guy see me too?'

Beads of cold sweat drenched his body as veins popped up in his head trying to think of a way to stop that bad guy.

'Think... think... think... What can I do... I can't kill him myself... if I can't kill him then... I'll escape! I'll escape, that's it!'

Rei gritted his teeth as he looked around trying to find any hidden compartments that may appear when a character is about to die. Aside from the window and the drawers and the closets that he had already searched, there were nothing hidden.

'Wait, a window?'

An idea quickly popped up in his head as his gaze turned to the window. He quickly opened it and realized that he could just escape here and leave the elf. He looked back at the door and the window in front of him, his heart was perturbed, and his conscience was eating him.

Rei grits his teeth and decides to escape.
