Volume 1, 1-6: Collapse
After that fierce night had passed, Fin’s sense of feeling was changing unnoticed
He didn’t remember hoalked back to the barracks in the town at daybreak, and didn’t even notice that figures of pitiful refugees who should’ve been at the roadside
The dull nu towards the town’s condition nor the soldiers’ corrupted behavior
Even the time he went out to look for his lost sword by the castle walls, an obviously huht before the bonfire pedestal, but he just thought ”Aah”
The sword that was snatched away by the beast casually tumbled out froain remembered the fear of that cold and dark hatred that pierced through the sword But when he gripped the handle and nothing happened, he quietly pulled back his tears full of emotion
On his way back to the barracks, he happened upon a scene that rese their possessions taken away However, Fin wasn’t even considering stopping thehts didn’t appear in his mind for even a second
It’s not as if he wasn’t aware of Fianera’s words that ”You must at least be thankful” He didn’t approve of acts like robbery and assault It’s just that he began to lose his sense of reality
To request coe for these soldiers who are carrying such a heavy toil If this was the past and they were in the army corps, then they would’ve also received promotions, raises in salary, and honor fros such as salary and title naturally, and si to be proud about have no such charive praise and neither poets nor historians ill sing of your rave s
If that is the case, then naturally, it is huains before them
In the minds of the soldiers -- or should they simply be called warriors now -- is only how many more days until their next shi+ft When that happens, thinking is pointless If one is lucky enough to survive the night, then all there is to pass time is count the days until the next time one has to keep watch
Therefore, they desire the pleasure of tie, and embrace women
Fin didn’t join in the uproar, but he si at it When he looked more closely, there weren’t many of the same kinds of people and the soldiers were just silently training hard Fin also memorized the way the men handled their swords and trained their footwork
While still numb, one day and then another continued to pass He finally realized his insensitivity to danger he has fallen into after more than a month had passed
During that ti ravestone”, and those soldiers who used to call hi him by his name But still, he remembered that the delicate part of him of that day remained
What irl
When Fin alking to his own room in the barrack hallways, he heard a wo the way However, Fin didn’t pay it anyhere The voice was a bit loud because they probably forgot to close the door
When Fin was close enough to clearly hear the voice, he sighed in relief and released the tension in his shoulders It was just a flirtatious screaone too far, then so trouble, but it didn’t seem like that was necessary this time
While walking, Fin absent the door for the it open would be nicer Then, the nature of woed
He guessed from the words pulled fro ended and the girl was trying to quickly leave When they butted heads, it became aard for no particular reason For aback would be foolish, he reconsidered and continued to walk away
It seeirl And she rejected it ”If you don’t like it, then leave, idiot You’re persistent” -- the sound of shoving and beating
In that case, Fin quickened his pace before the girl left and they irl jumped out from the door the moment he approached the open door
”Just because I went along with you for a bit, don’t get too carried away! The next tirind up that precious sword!”
The girl, baring her teeth like a beast and yelling, was carrying so to her chest As soon as she ran away, she bumped into Fin and raised her face in surprise
”…!?”
In that moment, all of his emotions returned back to hi in despair
He recognized this girl fro to a dirty face when she raised her face to hio vividly came back to his mind
It was the tie at the shrine The weather was very sunny and coirl were separated fro about solance in his direction and giggle -- That Nellis, she’s once again spreading unnecessary rumors…
A heavy luot to breathe and and ed before his eyes
The girl also seelare, but she was taken back with eyes wide open and broke down crying right there -- in the next moment, she had on a prostitute’s masochistic smile on her face
”You also came”
Heh She assessed Fin with a rude look
”If you have any business within return”
”……………”
