Her fault
Eliz scratched her head in frustration as she looked around
Eliz
How did I end up here?!
Eliz
I thought I was heading towards the opening ceremony, but now I'm completely lost...
Eliz
(thought): Who's idea was it to make the layout of this place so confusing?!
The girl sighed in resignation as she continued to walk through the grand halls of the Arcane Academy just a few moments earlier she had been excited to attend the opening ceremony but now who would expect she'll get lost
And what's more the signs were practically useless and there wasn't a single person in sight who could point her in the right direction
As Eliz turned the corner she suddenly stopped in her tracks
A beautiful garden came into view with lush greenery and colorful flowers filling the air with a sweet fragrance tall trees cast shadows over the space creating a cool and peaceful atmosphere
However that wasn't what captured Eliz's attention
In the middle of the garden a woman was lying on her side sleeping peacefully on the grass
Eliz
How can she just lie around in the grass like that when I'm stuck here trying to find my way around this damn academy?!
Eliz
If she wasn't sleeping here, I wouldn't have gotten distracted and ended up here.
As eliz muttered to herself the woman stirred from her sleep she sat up and rubbed her eyes looking around in confusion before spotting Eliz standing nearby
?
What are you mumbling about?
The woman asked, her voice curious and slightly groggy from sleep
Her face heat up as the woman looked at her
Eliz
I-I was just... talking to myself sorry for waking you up
The woman chuckled seeming amused by Eliz's embarrassed demeanor
?
It's alright i needed to wake up anyway
?
But I couldn't help but hear you muttering something about it being someone's fault you got lost?
Eliz
Uh..uh?? I didn't say anything about that
She exclaimed her expression turning to one of panic
The woman asked her tone now concerned
Eliz
The opening ceremony!
Eliz
you! tell me right now the location of the opening ceremony!
The woman couldn't help but find Eliz's panicked reaction hilarious she tried her best to suppress a smile but a small chuckle escaped her lips
Eliz
Why are you laughing!!
?
The look on your face right now is priceless!
Eliz
Just tell me where the damn opening ceremony is.....
?
Calm down... calm down... the opening ceremony is... being held... *snort* ...in the grand assembly hall.
Eliz quickly thanked the woman her mind still filled with panic about the ceremony
Eliz
Thanks and let's never meet again!
With that she dashed off in a hurry leaving the laughing woman behind in the garden
