1.1 Chapter 3 - Ano......

1.2

Mmmm...a big, floating, roast chicken...better eat it before Lina does....oh....it tastes so good...no, it doesn't. It tastes bad. Really really bad. So bad, I must be dreaming.

Gourry woke up. He rubbed his eyes, taking a moment to remember that he was at an inn. An inn in Sailoon, actually. He and Lina checked in last night to separate rooms (which he still didn't understand, because it was a lot cheaper to stay in one room than two. Besides, he'd seen lots of 'bodyguards' stay in the same room as the one they're protecting...)

"Oh.........shiny."

A big, shiny book was sitting on the nightstand. How it got there and who put it there, Gourry didn't know. Actually, those questions never even occurred to him.

He flipped himself over so he was lying flat out and facing the pretty book and stayed there, staring at it for a little while.

...

All right, a LONG while.

In fact, it was such a long while that he had fallen asleep staring at that pretty silver light....

Hey, where'd that book go? Oh, I fell asleep. Hey! It's that tasty-looking roast chicken again! I was eating it...but then I stopped...oh yeah, it's because it tasted really bad. Hey, maybe it'll taste better in a few more bites...

Gourry didn't remember waking up. Then again, he doesn't remember much, so nothing's out of the ordinary about that.

Ano.....was that poison I put in your food? Gomen!
