Ashes and Kingdoms

2-3. Peace Between Bundles

"Brother Finn!

"Phineas!!

When I woke up screaming at my mouth, there were four enormous shapes lined up against the background of an already brightened sky. Nellis and Fauna took a deeper breath and sat beside him nagging as Finn stretched out naggingly to taste the full aftermath of his sleep.

"Oh, good, he's alive..."

Nellis hugs her mother and says half tearfully. Finn still slightly blurred and glanced around for a moment.

"Hmm... what about Lena?

"What? Hey, you okay, Phineas?"

Oandus anxiously flickers his hand in front of Finn. Finn answered blurred as he unconsciously combed his squeaky hair with his hands.

"I had a girl. Uebe here..."

I get my back of my head stretched out as soon as I can, and I get a glare.

"You idiot!" Of course it was Igross. "Fluffy out quote I'm going to sleep here, and you were dreaming of chasing a woman's ass around!?

Finn held his stinging head and squeezed his eyes. The watchdog with the best hand to keep everyone's life was asleep away from the holding, etc., so I can't complain if they yell at me or strain me. Even Nellis said, "Wow. Brother, you suck," he gives me a wild next. There is no forgiveness as soon as I feel safe.

If Finn and I were in the opposite position, we would kick it up when we found it. Their anger is good too. but for once he had a say too.

"It's not a dream, I was really there. Maybe that was... a spirit. She told me they weren't coming out tonight, and she put me to sleep."

"Heh. She must have been a beauty. Totally good because nothing really happened..."

The bump Igross blurred, but frowned on the way.

"... that would be strange to say. I never woke up until morning either. I don't think I've been in the barracks since this happened."

"It's been a long time since I've slept so well, too."

"Didn't you turn me into a demon?" Nellis was still skeptical. "If a traveler did what a beauty asked him to do, he'd be naked in the morning, sleeping on the side of the road."

"It wasn't like that. And he wasn't surprisingly pretty."

Remembering last night's encounter, Finn said vaguely.

"I think that was kind of a pretty face... but I didn't depend on it anyway, kind of, yeah, it was like a jean dog"

I found the perfect metaphor and Finn laughed a little. I can still think of the mundane jeans at my feet coming on my knees with their noses squealing.

"He said he hadn't talked to many humans. I'm sure it's rare and I'm here to see it. Anyway, thanks to you, I slept through the night. Earn some distance today."

"Right. Oh, my brother surprised me already, and I haven't washed my face yet. No."

With plenty of indignation, Nellis runs to the well. Finn also stood up and paid the sand on his clothes, looking around slowly. The abandoned house remained abandoned, and the village still had no sign of a creature, but under the light of the morning sun, it was reflected as a slightly serene landscape.

After a brief breakfast, the line took the street south again.

The longer Nellis persisted, the more Finn asked about what he saw. What did he say or do?

"You look... right, maybe a girl about your age between me and you, her hair and clothes were white. I wonder if my eyes were amber"

"I really don't know if it's a spirit"

"I don't know. But I named him Diaerfalena. A human wouldn't wear deia in his name, would he? Besides, he barely made any footsteps, and he said," I've never talked to a person "or something like that," It's natural that I'm not a person. "

"... if so," Nellis said thoughtfully. "I wonder if you're here to help us. With more and more beasts of darkness, do you think the spirits have finally stopped hiding and come out?

"I hope so, but I don't know"

Finn roared with an eyebrow, too. She asked innocently if she was fighting the Dark Family. That didn't make me look either way, like I was going to help or give me advice. It is also suspicious if you understand the plight in which humans are placed.

"I was wondering if you could help me if I asked. At least if you stay away from those guys for the night, that would help me a lot.... Ah."

Shortly after the bump, Nellis accidentally turned around.

"What's going on?

"Brother, stop for a second"

As Finn stopped to his feet as he was surprised to be told, Nellis rushed over to the side of the horse Finn was pulling. Horses loaded with luggage. Let him raise his forelimbs, and I'll get him a stone caught between his hooves.

"You know exactly what I mean."

Finn closed his eyes. It didn't convey any anomalies to me with a drawstring. And Nellis didn't even see what was going on back there at all.

Nellis herself tilted her neck and answered vaguely, "Yeah, somehow".

"Oh, I stepped on something, I felt. Well, good thing I noticed right away. Right?"

I'll slap your horse in the neck once and then I'll go back to the front again. To such a sister's appearance, Finn remembered a previous event.

"Speaking of which, when I walked into Nanais and saw you immediately, you would have done me a favor. That worked. After that, Master Fianella said that I was granted the protection of Nena God."

"Oh, really?

"Oh. Maybe you have the qualities of a priest. Winnea is a big city, so we'll find the Temple of Nena when we get there."

There will surely be a splendid temple. If you could accept Nellis there, the family might be able to settle into the city. You won't be able to do the powder shop, but Oandus will be able to do most of the hard work, and he will be of some use to himself...

When Finn thought of it that way, whether he knew what was in his brother's heart or not, Nellis responded like any other HR, "Right," and then he realized and punched his hand.

"Oh, well, isn't it because of me that your brother was safe until today? I need you to thank me more. Look, you got something to say."

Forced to be good at it, Finn turned his eyes round and then laughed out.

"Damn, you are. Okay, thank you, merciful Nellis."

After a gracious grace, Finn reached out and stroked Nellis' head.

"... I really appreciate it"

More than intended, the voice reveals the truth, and the person who said it embarrasses him and lets go. Nellis bent his mouth in a strange way to see if it was hidden from him, and he pretended to be jealous.

"Oh, no more, I don't know why your brother can't even say one of the funny things. Stuff."

"Sorry about that."

When Finn blurred, Igross looked back and nibbled.

"Hey, what's funny is that your daughter is enough by herself. You have the power to make even“ Tombstone ”'s brother laugh anyway. On top of that, even my brother will be a traveler. Otherwise, the sitter is your daughter."

Waha, and Igros laughs at his dialogue. One Nellis swelled up, and the rest of his face managed to take care of his sympathetic face, while laughing diligently.
