It was an entirely empty entrance.
The young man was somewhat dumbfounded: ".....Where are the people?"
He cautiously walked inside, but he didn't see anyone for a long time.
"Strange... too strange..."
The young man's calm heart became intensely uneasy as he continued towards the Venerable Garden, where there were statues of the Venerable. It was a vast manor, the usual residence of the Venerable and ominously quiet.
There was no sound to be heard.

The hallway, the empty rooms, the staircase leading up.
"What on earth is going on?"
The young man held his breath and headed for the deepest part, the further in he went, the more he saw... some ghastly things.
