144 144 "Ishitaru Ruins" (1/2)

We've walked a lot in the desert and it's time for a break.

I suppose. Well, let's take a break here.

I nodded in response to Lily's suggestion and immediately decided to take a rest behind a nearby rock.

It was the remains of Ishtar's civilization that Alisha had described to me when I had passed through this area before.

For some reason I felt an indescribable chill run through my chest.

But at the same time, a nagging feeling lingered in the back of my mind.

Locke, who had sensed something with me at that time, was also there, hugging my arm and looking at the shadow of the ruins on the horizon.

”Kyou, what's up?

Lily, who was standing next to me, noticed something strange about me and Locke, and turned her attention to the ruins on the horizon.

Is that ......?

”It's the remains of the Ishtar civilization. Alisha said.

”Yeah, that one.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

”No, it's just that I'm kind of curious about .......

”Curious?
