Message froo with linked footnotes (though no one answered in the last post TTTT) Anyways, in this part, we get some sweet character interactions between Fin and the others
Voluht
The group sluggishly continued onward the next day with a depressing atht as usual in the fields without any houses It couldn’t be helped as Fin was lih the injured person hi about his pain, he stubbornly shook his head when Nellis and Fauna told him numerous times that they were fine and he should ride the horse
“It looks like it’ll be clear tonight I’m thankful for that”
Oandus looked up at the sky after another si rass and said as he rubbed his leg
“I’m more suited to be the first on watch-duty If they appear, I’ll wake up everyone right away”
“What are you saying? Big Bro has to sleep”
Suddenly, Nellis opposed angrily She rattled off reasons: You’re injured, We decided earlier that you’ll recover if you rest for even a little bit, Everyone will fall unless there’s a capable person who can fight
However, Iguros easily agreed with Fin
“Well then, I’ll leave it to you I’ll switch with you at the appropriate time”
“Yes, sir”
Iguros didn’t even wait for Fin to nod before covering hi onto his side Nellis’ mouth dropped
“I can’t believe it, ould you…”
“It’s OK, Nellis,” Fin gently interrupted “I can’t sleep because of the pain anyways You understand, right?”
“………………”
Nellis frowned and quickly turned away, almost at the brink of tears
“That’s unfair…you’re terrible”
She whispered in a treently patted his sister’s head and turned to his fa to be fine
“There you have it Don’t mind me and rest, Uncle and Aunt It’s fine I’ll pass ti at the moon”
“I understand But Fin, if you beco like watch-duty There’s also the option of hu”
Fauna kindly said and Fin smiled a little at the joke
After the married couple laid down beside the fire, Nellis sat besides Fin, stubborn and pouting
“I’ Bro to endure this himself, hmph”
“You…you know it’s not that kind of issue You’re the one who’s lacking endurance, so if you don’t have a proper night’s sleep, it won’t good You don’t have to worry The pain’ll lessen by tomorrow I know from my experiences so far So please, Nellis”
Nellis didn’t make any movements in response to Fin’s continual whispered persuasions and kept staring ahead at the road When Fin gave up and stopped talking, she held her knees, placed her chin on top, and whispered
“Why don’t I have the strength like Big Bro? Even though, it’ll be great if I could fight as well”
Fin couldn’t reply right away If this was back in the days— when it was peaceful, he would’ve denied such thoughts by saying “Don’t say such ier than you already are? How scary”
But it’s different now Her desire to be able to fight, is an earnest wish to both Nellis and even Fin To any man or woht, how much they could help—
“If you practice, you’ll probably be able to use a sword But, leaving that aside, since it seeot the qualities of a priestess, isn’t it better to make use of them? If we find the temple in Winea, you should try to consult with them”
“I want to be useful, right now”
“That’s a bit hard…Let’s see That protective charive it to everyone tomorrow? Also, if you could bless our weapons, properly or not, it’ll be a little effective”
“…OK, I got it I’ll try”
By the tireed, Nellis’ eyelids were half closed Fin faintly save a deep nod and crawled towards her blanket She lied down sideways, and unexpectedly re and turned around
“Hey, Big Bro Fin I…really, you know…like Big Bro So…”
“I don’t want you to die” She said her wish in a voice so sreement “It’s OK I know”
When Nellis’ breathing slowed to a caler endure; his face twisted in pain as he held his right leg He grit his teeth in a desperate atteroans
The wound on his right leg experienced a violent, stabbing pain as the night air became cold He wore a blanket but that didn’t waret frostbite at this rate
(It’s fine, it’s all good, if I can endure tonight)
He kne the injures from the Beasts of Darkness worked from his experiences so far As soon as one is attacked, both numbness and pain co dissolves, the next attack is of an unbearable pain However, once that passes, recovery will gradually come
Of course, even if he expected all of this, it doesn’tthe pain any easier And, this was the first tie
His breathing beca his left foot and both arms, he crawled away fro people There was no need to worry since the dots of blue light weren’t in sight and the pale ht shone on the world
(Leena)
The her figure crossed hisluring the Beasts of Darkness here But if that was the case, as yesterday’s Beast there, waiting in a on that path recently
This question filled his head for only asensation of pain ran through it and he fell sideways He curled up in a fetal position and took a breath to stifle a screa everyone up, but the fear of accidentally su was much worse
But, how long can he hold on? Fin looked up at thefor some salvation
—And then, soentle and white appeared in his field of vision
The moment Fin opened his eyes wide in surprise, the pain calo, he was tortured with pain so extreme that he wanted to die
“Fin?”
