[VOL 3] CHAPTER 4 – RUINS
On the third day after we started our trip the flat road gradually turned into a slope
Noe approached a gentle hill
“Hey, you guys, do you knohere we are?”
Crescent Moon talked to my seniors
That face is telling
I gradually came to understand her despite the mask
“No, I don’t know Does big sis know?”
“Here’s a famous place Don’t you know about the Orlea hill?”
“Back then there was a huge battle at this place, right? It was called the Battle of Orlea”
“What’s with that? I never heard about this Was it like this, big sis?”
Oh, Drueable person
On the other hand, Bass-senpai is the type who strayed froht path
I bet he only did bad things when he was still in school
“That’s right, back then a huge battle between nobles took place here”
“So what’s with that, big sis?”
Crescent Moon grins at Bass-senpai’s question
Oh boy, ht in her trap
“About this, at this place……they appear When night falls, you know?”
“Wh, what about the sis”
“Tha, that’s right We aren’t afraid of that kind of stuff, we’re already adults after all”
That’s not what your expression tells us, seniors
“It was a big battle so does that e number of people died here?”
Knopf comfortably listened to this
Ehm, you don’t have to carry on with this topic
“……That’s right It was a fierce battle until the middle but then a betrayal happened and it became unilateral”
The faces of Pick andto Crescent Moon’s story were a little too serious
“Countless bodies of murdered soldiers and commanders rolled down the hill and it is said the river was dyed red Look, it should be the river we crossed over just a while ago”
“Eeeeh?! I drank out of it”
“Well, you probably don’t have to worry Since then these bodies wander around when night falls Saying things like, where is the traitor?”
“Please stooop, I’ood with stuff like this!”
“Wha, what are you saying Pick, that’s just superstition Hey, Head?”
Drum, please don’t call me over
I was talked to but I decided to ignore it
Honestly, I’ood with those kinds of stories as well
I don’t have any supernatural senses, though
“Huh? Why is Akatsuki looking the other way? Could it be that you’re weak against this as well?”
Why does that fellow look so happy?
But if I reacted noould just do what she wants me to
I thoroughly ignored Crescent Moon
“The clouds are so weird”
When I heard the cat girl Knopf’s voice I turned to look at the sky and black clouds suddenly appeared
“That’s bad, we’ll get caught in it”
At Crescent Moon’s exclamation, everyone put on their mantle’s hood in a hurry
At that tie
We hurried our horses but the rain became more intense
It wasn’t much but a hood and mantle had to do
It’s inconvenient that rain gear like umbrellas and raincoats don’t exist here
“Is there anywhere we can take shelter in?”
“Head, there’s a building!”
When I looked in the direction they pointed in I could clearly see the shadow of a building behind the hill
“Alright, we can take shelter from the rain there”
We
“This, was this originally a church?”
As I approached it seeo
As Pick said, it seemed to have been a church
The door was locked with a simple lock but Pick opened it in no time and ere able to enter
“Oh, this so”
Bass-senpai joyfully said this
We got into a large rooinally the sanctuary
Several broken banks were lined up there
There was nothing enshrined on the shelf in the front, I wonder if someone stole it
Although it was leaking here and there but at least we had a roof over our heads and it’s far better than outside
We put down our baggage at a place without leaks and then took a break
Bass, Drum and Pick, those three tore off a part of the floor boards then broke soht a fire
It’s blaspheainst the cold
