Vol 1 Chapter 3 (2/2)

“Yeah, they’re in Mr Kunad’s house They’re…so by”

Nellis was arabbed her shoulders

“Really? Is there enough food? They’re not injured or sick, right?”

“I already said that they’re fine You don’t need to worry, Big Bro Fin The distribution of wheat floor is h the things we brought with us are nearly gone…”

“Were they taken?”

“No”

Nellis bit her lip and shook her head, and when she suddenly lifted her face, she forced a smile

“It’s because people needed itAll of those in Mr Kunad’s place…how many are there? Maybe around 20 people? Practically everyone, had all their possessions taken away by the soldiers, or even the rest of the townsfolk, is what I heard That’s why, to justwe can’t do…pots and blankets, are being used by everyone Food disappears in a blink of an eye, and even iven away”

The last words seeer at an age to play with dolls, but she took great care with that doll that herand she even believed that a soul resided inside of it Of all things, to part with that in such a difficult time, huh

“…You’re admirable, Nellis”

Fin mumbled and softly placed his lips to his little sister’s forehead Nellis finally broke out into a real s in her eyes, puffing out her chest triumphantly

“I’er that kid anymore, so really, I’m fine I’ll be 15 soon, and an adult, you know”

To this, Fin unintentionally laughed, and stared intently at that face that can’t possible look like “an adult” He soized with a “My bad, my bad” Nellis turned aith a sulky look

“Sheesh, Big Bro Fin, you really ruin thethe actual situation, I couldn’t deceive Big Bro, like how I did to those idiot monkeys in town”

“What’s with that? This is the first I’ve heard of this Was that so?”

To Fin, who again asked with an unintentional idiotic face, Nellis clearly responded

“You don’t need to worry It’s because I proper~ly inforhtened you”

“Nellis, you, what are did you say? What is it”

Fin frowned and drew closer It wasn’t like he was particularly wanted to be friendly with the girls of the town Anyways, if they were Nellis’s friends, then they’re all just kids, and he won’t even think about having any love affairs with them That’s why, this is a completely different problem then that

Nellis gazed at Fin’s reaction to her words, and smirked

“It’s nothing~ I did say the truth, though My brother is as da than a dead fish What? Before you bring up that it’s a fraud scam, I’ve saved you, so you should be thankful to me, you know”

“…………………”

What a headache Fin looked down, his hand placed between his brows The people around them, who heard the conversation between the two of thehter

As one would have expected, the older brother becaed the conversation

“Speaking of being boring, about what Big Bro was saying before”

“What was it?”

While Fin was a little cautious, he pressed on But, Nellis did not laugh, and shrugged her shoulders and continued

“When you mentioned that maybe the heavens are in a round, well, it may actually be true I talked to Father and the others about it”

“What happened?”

“It’s not exactly that, but Then again, in reality, isn’t it strange? Even though the beasts of darkness are appearing in succession, things such as ghosts and dwarves, haven’t been seen In the past, there were a ton of theinally noble creatures and people say that their nuenerally appear before the public and stuff? So why aren’t there any……only the beasts of darkness, as usual come in swarms”

A very unpleasant feeling Bringing that to an end, Nellis stared at the platfor out of the tip of the cape There, one can clearly see that it’s noon now and the bright yellow fla

“…Surely, that won’t hold out er”

Nellis muttered Fin unconsciously responded “Aah” Afterwards, he harbored a question for himself, but for no reason, the conviction born from his chest would not waver That is, it could be because of the seriousness in Nellis’s gaze as she stared at the flame

“Why that is, I don’t really understand, but that’s how I feel It’s not good, you know”

“Aah That’s why you shouldn’t say things like that”

If such rumors were to spread, ould happen? Fin shuddered, and prayed for the fla, even if it’s a whole day
