Volume 1, 2-6: Tetna

“Yooouuuu devil!”

Although he expected to be kicked, he didn’t think he would be kicked so violently that it would wake up even an devil

When hein his neck and opened his eyes, he was met with Nellis’ wide eyes in front of him

“Oh, it’s just you, Nellis……”

“I saw!!”

Nellis ignored his gru and shouted in excitement “What? What?” He looked around with an annoyed face and got up

“I saw her too, the person Big Bro was talking about! I mean, the spirit!!”

“Aah, is that so……”

“What was that? She was super pretty! Big Bro, you were secretlyon her lap! It’s unthinkable, uwaaaa!”

“What are you thinking about?”

He was tired this early in the h,” Fin rubbed his eyes Nellis left hi what she witnessed: how she was a gentle and pretty person with pretty blonde hair, how she smiled as she slowly lowered Fin’s head to her lap, and how she softly disappeared in the wind The way Nellis was explaining, with hand gestures mixed it, made it seem like this was an unheard miracle

Iguros woke up and absentroaned in a low voice

“Your younger sister, she’s quite extreme…”

“She was like that before as well”

“Aaaaah,” he let out a big yawn In the past, Nellis would ju and that would knock him out, rather than wake him up Once, the two crashed heads and stars circled around theer occur, but her boisterous behavior as soon as she woke up is a sign of that she’s in good health

While he wondered where and how thatout of her, he used a little bit of water from the canteen to wipe his face

“Sleeping on a beauty’s lap, eh? So envious Why won’t those things happen to ical creature now”

Iguros said as he stretched Fin shrugged his shoulders and dodged the question with his answer

“I don’t think she was that beautiful to fuss over And even if you said ‘sleeping on her lap’, I barely remember any of it I was suddenly struck with sleepiness and and was coh Let’s quickly finish breakfast and depart”

“Yeah,” Iguros agreed as he gazed out to the road ahead “If things go well today…then we should arrive at Tetna”

If it’s still there Fin knew that those words were still on the tip of his tongue But those tent on with the horses’ preparation without touching on that subject Fin gave the horses water and feed and he finished inspected their hooves, while Oandus revived the bonfire that had beco the wheat flour and cheese

Before long, the group started heading south again When they crossed over a small hill to an open field, a huer Around this time, various small wildflowers bloomed, but the cold as melancholic

In the first place, this paradise of blooo Now, the fence collapsed and grass that is poison to horses and sheep has overgrown

A road sign had fallen on the side of the road, conveying that Tetna was underground And that Nanais was up in the sky Of course no one thought ofa joke about that

A black crouching shadow appeared on the path when the sun was at its zenith

“—It’s there”

Iguros let out a husky sigh of relief The fence was ed in a line and looked hastily made, but nevertheless, one could see how skillful the army corps soldiers constructed it The fence definitely wasn’t a rushed job from an inexperienced amateur

“The ar their best even here”

Oandus said, relieved As they’ve walked several days in an uninhabited wasteland with their only interaction being with the Beast of Darkness, Oandus was happy that he could encounter people, no matter what kind of situation they were in However, Nellis’ co?” and Nellis slightly tilted her head, frowning

“I don’t know But…how can I say it…It really feels like there aren’t many people”

She shyly said and gazed at the town on their path Fin also becaain Obstructions were removed just like in Nanais But, there weren’t any pedestals for bonfires In the e up, but it was so shallow that they would instantly disappear if someone were to throw some dirt on top of them The reality is that it see from the appearance of the soot

It looked like Iguros noticed that as well His coed and he ran off ahead by himself

The fence door had been left open There was also no gatekeeper

“Anyone here!?”

Iguros rushed into the tohile yelling in a loud voice Even this once bustling road is ens of life The shops lined up on the right and left either had their doors tightly closed or becaht ahead towards the house where his sister and her family stayed, but it was clear froed, that there was no one there

“Big Sis! Idu! Fernaine!!”

Iguros continued running as he called out one after another, the names of relatives and past acquaintances ere supposed to be in town However, there wasn’t anyone who answered Iguros finally stopped and stood in shock

“It can’t be…What the hell happened? damn it!”

On the other side, Fin peeked inside the dilapidated shops and crouched to search any leftover traces on the road, but concluded in the end— “It looks like there’s still people”

“What did you say?”
