Alec very kindly helped the four men in the midst of their increasingly spicy foursome block out their sounds from outside.
Then, he froze.
Ye Sha started laughing at his friend when he realized that both of them had forgotten that the seals could have isolated the sounds coming out from the room, and thus would have saved Alec from the dilemma the previous night.
Alec's face was dark.
Had he truly been panicked yesterday, that he couldn't even think about such a thing?
How could he have made such an elementary mistake?
Alec silently looked at the ceiling. Whatever… it had already happened. What was the use of crying after he already spilt the milk?!
It's better for him to just forget about it completely.
Anyway, he'd been planning on looking at the young master's devastated face when he came out in the morning, but little did he expect that they had, unexpectedly, gone for another round.
Alec felt like he understood the arrogant young masters less and less every time he interacted with one.
Truly incomprehensible.
Actually, there was a faint suspicion in his heart that the young master might have been pressed down by the three hooligans instead, but he had no way of confirming that.
Nor was he curious enough about it to go and find out.
Anyway, he 'kindly' helped block out the sounds from the inn, wondering how many people already got a little sneak peek, and whether or not the news would spread.
It had nothing to do with him now. He was already satisfied that he got his revenge, so unless Travis came after them yet again, Alec would let it go here.
Elysia had intentionally left the sliver of a slit open to the door yesterday to satisfy her curiosity, but neither Alec nor Elysia had shut the door later on.
Whether or not someone used that information for their own sakes, it had nothing to do with the trio.
Now, though, he had to deal with the silently glowering statue at his side.
No matter where Alec went today, Sekai silently followed him around with a dark, glowering face, and Alec privately thought to himself that the Sin wasn't really inconveniencing him at all. In the first place, Alec actually wasn't that sociable, no matter how his mask appeared.
It was, however, obvious that the transmigrator was still holding a grudge from the previous night and was obviously trying to go out of his way to inconvenience Alec.
He had even fallen uncharacteristically silent, probably to do with the unexpected blow to his pride when he fell asleep to Alec stroking his head like a child.
It felt rather strange that the usually loud transmigrator had been reduced to a silent glowering statue.
In the end, Alec dragged Sekai to a secluded location, exchanging blows with the Sin.
Both Alec and Sekai came out, though one was obviously worse for wear, while the other looked only slightly winded.
Sekai's glower had lightened up a little, and he seemed to have developed a little grudging respect for Alec.

The festival in the little town was in full swing, and the streets were overflowing with people who were having a good time.
The splash of colours in the otherwise normal town gave it a bright and lively atmosphere, and the people were simply having the time of their lives.
There was no pretentiousness nor hidden meanings to the event and was a result of the citizen's pure motives.
With the sound of chatter and laughter, the bursts of music and song, the entire festival was well under way.
It was easy to see that the people of the town were thoroughly enjoying themselves.
It was a day where they could let loose, and play around to their heart's content, and it was also a way for them to bring profit and people into their little town.
Banners and streamers of beautiful colours hung from the tops of buildings and streetlights, and it was not an unusual sight to see a few familiars roaming around with their masters.
Children ran hand in hand, and adults joked around and laughed, drinking and eating to their heart's content.
It was an event that clearly showed the grand time that the people were having, and Elysia was not one to miss such a wonderful event.
Elysia dragged her friend slash boss out to the festival, unbearably curious.
For some reason, she felt as if Alec hadn't really wanted to come, but she couldn't tell what his real feelings were since he just smiled at her gently.
Still, he didn't refuse her, and she was quite happy to feign ignorance if he was happy enough to go with her.
As a boss slash friend, this was something that he should do!
On the other hand, Sekai had blown her off with a scoff, giving her a look. "Do I look like I would ever enjoy a festival? Ever?" he said with a scowl that seemed as if it grew naturally on his face.
In Elysia's opinion, he should lighten up a little and enjoy life while it lasted. Who knows when it would end some day?
Sekai was always grumpy, but she felt like he wasn't a bad person, despite him pretending otherwise.
To her, it just seemed as if he didn't know how to properly convey that he cared about someone.
Elysia had every intention of making fond memories before someone was snatched away from her life.
On the other hand, Alec felt as if he was suffocating in the crowd, unlike Elysia who looked perfectly at home.
He was quite sure that some of the women who 'bumped' into him did so intentionally.
While it was crowded, they weren't squeezed in like a pack of sardines, and there was enough space for them to move without being touched.
Yet, every minute or so, his body came into contact with someone else, steadily bumping his previously calm mood down.
Even so, the smile that came to him so naturally as a product of work over the years remained unscathed.
In the end, even Alec had to give in to defeat, and put on another act to prevent more of the ladies from doing the same thing.
He frowned a little, as if it hurt when the lady bumped into him and smiled apologetically at her. "My apologies."
The lady that bumped into Alec felt a pang, even as she stared at his face with wide eyes, her mouth opened. She felt a flush creep up her cheeks as she felt ashamed of her actions that had caused pain to the lovely gentleman.
She shook her hands wildly, apologizing to him.
She gave a glare at the other ladies that had been about to approach and 'accidentally' bump into Alec, and they got the message.
Though many of them felt a loss, as if they'd missed an opportunity, they also felt bad when they thought about how many of them had been unintentionally harassing him when he'd been having a good time.
Now that Alec had a bit of space, he heaved a sigh of annoyance and relief inside his mind, only to realize that Elysia had run off on him.
Inwardly, he was a bit speechless at her actions.
Really, she was too excitable, and the festival was something that likely called out to her curiosity and excitement.
What else could he have expected from her?!
But, inexplicably, he felt his earlier light mood sink into something darker.
Though he was surrounded by bright lights and laughter, Alec himself felt as if he did not match with his surroundings at all.
Still, he showed no signs of it on his face as he leisurely walked through the crowd, taking in the experience for what it was.
Though the ladies that had been following him around lessened a little, no one dared to go up and brazenly bump into him like before, allowing him to walk unhindered.
