(…Huh?)

That moment

I felt sons outside this building

While erasinga small

(Around a dozen or so…)

Before I knew it, I was surrounded inside the house by villagers

“Hey, I know you are hiding Come out”

I talked to the other party from inside the house

It was eerie, but if the opponent didn't attack me, I couldn't afford to be the first to strike Maybe there were so my self-defense knife, I watched at the other party's actions

“Where are you traveling now!? ”

The children askedfor ilance at all, they approachedone question after the other
