Chapter 22 - Rosemary Village (1/2)

Jin woke up before the sun rise. He looked at the children and saw that they were still sleeping.

”I guess I'll hunt some animals for food” Jin said as he stood up and patted his clothes. He then walked away and started to looked for animals he could hunt.

After an hour Jin came back with a huge bear on his bear. He looked around and found that the children were still sleeping.

He started to chopped the bear and roasted it's meat.

He looked at the children and clapped his hands while shouting, ”Wake up! The food's ready!”

The children woke up because of his loud voice. They rubbed their eyes and sat up. They saw Jin was roasting meat. Although Jin said that he will get them out here they still kind of afraid to him.

”Okay! Stop dilly dallying and eat quickly!” Jin said in a loud voice so that all of them could here him.

He observed them as they eat their food. He couldn't observed yesterday because of darkness. While observing them he saw a familiar figure in the back.

A young girl was eating quietly in the back. She have a shoulder length scarlet hair and was wearing a ragged clothes.

'E-Erza!' Jin was surprised as he focus his eyes to her. He forgot that their village was attack by Zeref's worshipper.

He then stood up and looked around.

'Simon? Where's Kagura?' He saw Simon but he didn't see Kagura. It's only been a day since the attack happened. Kagura wouldn't be able to run away immediately. She's just a child now and didn't have any magic. If he looked for her would be able to find her.

Jin took a deep breath and shouted, ”Stand up! We are going now!”

The children didn't have any choice but to follow him.

Jin pointed at Ezra, ”You! Come here and lead the way to your village!”

Erza nodded at him and she immediately led him to their village.

”Oi! What's your name?” Jin asked Erza.

”...Erza” Erza said in a low voice.

”I'm Jin, Jin Kakeru!” Jin turned to the children and said, ”Remember it! Did you get it!”

The children nodded their heads.

...

They walked for five hours before they arrived in the Rosemary village. The village was now in ruin.
