Despite being in the ar

Even without being able to see Leena’s face, he could vividly and strongly feel her presence This vast sensation of freedoth filled hisomnipotent, or even transcendental? However, there was no pride or confidence in having such a feeling The feeling of fusing with a greatness that exceeds huentle war as he awoke Afterwards, his head was clear and his body overfloith vitality

(Is this also the power of the ‘connection’? If so, it’s etic about He didn’t think that this would be soize for

(…Even if so was taken away and more sacrifices were needed?)

At any rate, there would probably be more sacrifices he would have to make in the future Fin furrowed his eyebrows and then looked out theafter he finished changing his clothes

The sleeping city in twilight was still quiet The sounds of footsteps heading to fetch water at the coms on the bucket they carried through the alleyway That was a job for a servant or a child of the e in Nanais, Fin was overcoht after, he shook his head, brushi+ng off the feeling Although he wasn’t thinking of as ahead, the root of this concern ca could he keep Leena a secret? What should he do when everything gets exposed? What about his fa could be resolved if Fin disappeared, then he intended to do so even if he would be resented for it But it wasn’t like he could just simply disappear If his disappearance would be deeer able to live here

(What can I even do?)

While Fin was racking his brain over this and that, he put on his usual de unit’s station

Fortunately, his days since have been peaceful

Due to having driven the bandits fro a bitThe ated for the better or worse, and no one had spoken a single word about the dragon It was as if the events of that day related to Fin were erased froood now?” in grandiose concern to Fin who shouldn’t have any such injuries now,everyone’shappening so far …At least on the surface

A mere 5 days have passed since the incident with the bandit suppression when the dreaded situation reared its head into sight It was around the time the su, and they even reached the unit’s ears

That h the barrack’s courtyard A dog hurried took refuge in the shade, its tongue hanging out of its htly jealous When he raised his face, his gazeman He clearly was an army corps soldier, but Fin couldn’t recall his name, let alone his face However, the other party was filled with happiness when their eyes met as he excitedly made his way across and asked all of a sudden

“So, hey, is it true that a dragon appeared? You were outside the walls then Didja see it?”

Fin froze, unable to answer this too frank of a question He couldn’t even maintain his expression as it solidified Thereupon, theof the situation and aardly scratched his face

“Ah, well, it’s just a ru, so you knoell, whatever Sorry for asking soht that his sanity was being doubted, so theand hurriedly ran off

“So the tiht, Fin quickened his pace as he headed for the station When he arrived, the others were already gathered with their distressed faces covered in dark shadows

“You’re late Frouess you heard as well”

Varte groaned, and Fin nodded, his stiff expression still there

“See too detailed”

“I heard about a dragon appearing, but that’s it Though I think sooner or later, ruon’s owner’ll start to spread”

Varte added, “Sh•t,” and let out a sigh

As expected since a giant creature just suddenly appeared The surviving bandits probably blabbered this to anyone ould listened, or perhaps there were people who happened to be passing through on theout from the forest Either way,

“This was quite fast”

Fin’s voice sounded reluctant, but it nevertheless stated the truth of the reed, but the two of the at anyone else They didn’t want to reach the conclusion that someone in this unit had leaked the info Firstly, it would be pointless to go searching for the culprit this late in the gaonna do?”

Varte shamelessly stretched and then turned to face Fin

“I don’t think they’ll be able to pin it down as you, but it won’t be long before all of us here will look suspicious If Dirgius gets word of this…I’ht into the news, as desperate as a stray, starved dog”

“So, he’ll try to take advantage of this, is what you’re saying?”

When Fin asked in a low voice, one of the soldiers to the side interjected

“Captain, we’ll be heading out to patrol Probably be better if we don’t hear any of this”

It was a light, joking expression, but the tone hid sonaled with his chin for thelanced back and forth between them and the captain with discontent eyes He turned to face Fin and looked like he wanted to say so, but in the end with a sullen face, he chased after his comrades

Whether this was intentional or a slip of the h-pitched voice protested by itself, “Thought this is everyone’s probleue and stood up, but someone from the outside slammed the door faster than he could put his hand on the door handle

He stared at his hand just dangling in the air, and after clearing his throat, he aed his shoulders and plopped down on a chair Fin also sat down on the chair Varte pointed to

“Well then”

Varte properly looked at Fin for the first time and said with a sole me honestly? What do you plan to do froathered around, though they didn’t inquire about anything With the exception of Eutis

“So~o, in the end, what should we do, eh? We’re in quite the pickle, heh”

He was talking to hilance with Varte for just a ue tone

“I think we should act the sae that, then there’ll be no worry about the does come up, this is my own problem, so I don’t want to trouble everyone”

“Your own…”

Eutis started to say, but another soldier forcibly interrupted in a loud voice

“Well, that’s true This doesn’t really concern any of us If we play duht?”

Fin nodded, simply muttered, “Well, then,” to the captain, and left Eutis’ voice ca?”

“Shaddup, Eutis I asked him to do some stuff”

Varte’s words were like a slap Eutis’s face said that he wouldn’t settle with that, but he shut his azed at the closed door andof a situation we have right now?”

Without anyone responding, his words floated in the air for a briefdown

The Fin in question had no time to be concerned with Eutis’s worries with his own head bursting with thoughts as he quickened his pace towards the orphanage

Fauna and Oandus were taking care of the children inside when the unusual appearance of Fin in this tiht a suspicious look to their faces
