Until Eliza, who seems to be losing her mind, and Claudia, a dark colour of fatigue, were brought into the hall on the boulder, Latka thought her body had become stone.

Various emotions and thoughts intersect in my head so much that I seem confused myself.

Thus, for the first time, even the Earl of Teresia lifted up to the hall, and Latka turned back her heels.

I don't even know when Berwaier will pick up Latka. There was no guarantee that you would listen to me as an excuse, so I never avoided being able to find unsolicited behavior.

Leave the scene early and return to the training ground.

My heart was still pulsating painfully with Bhakunba.

Eliza, Claudia, and the winged beast on which they were both riding, were all bloodstained. Has there been a battle at Fort Yugfena? We were all normal in the morning and it didn't look like such news came in.

The fact that people I knew were dying without my knowledge seemed pretty bad for Latka.

Still, Eliza is back, and Eliza's return means that the soldiers of the leadership who went to Yugfena with her will be back in a few days.

As soon as I thought so, I lost my strength from my shoulder. As I stood up to untie my tense body, I could just see Berwaier entering the training ground.

"Sorry, I left you alone for a few moments...!

Berwaier, who came before Latka after a small run, seemed in a hurry to be surprised. Unexpectedly Latka rounded her eyes at that look, which she could not imagine from her usual lack of bareness until cold.

Berwaier finally realized his condition with it, too, and he coughed one up and settled down.

"I'm sorry to keep you here all the time, even though Lady Claudia isn't here. I will make sure this does not happen again. Come on, let's go back today."

Latka was somehow terribly discouraged by Berwaier, who just said so even and still just turned his back. Just a word, I wanted an explanation, not an apology.

Loneliness casts a shadow on my heart. Latka went after me and Berwair in a dark mood.

Then less than four and a half months later, the soldiers of the leadership were taken back to the hall by Gunter.

Latka watched them work in the courtyard through the window of the hall knowing that they would be scolded if found. In a garden lined with bricks of different colours in a circle, soldiers with some shadowy expression eat meals behaved in small numbers and drink alcohol.

Will Eliza's situation still honestly delight them in returning?

Did you suffer an injury, that girl still remains stuck in her bedroom?

With that in mind, Latka stopped looking down at the entire soldier and now searched for those who were taken care of in the barracks.

The conspicuous Gunter was quickly found. Soldiers of all ages are gathered so as to surround their richly wavy decaying, leafy heads. Apparently the man has something to attract others to.

Rarely is Calvin sitting next to it generous.

Only Calvin had one calm face broken while the other soldiers had a dark look on his face. Only the strange and the soldiers around him seem relieved somewhere.

Paul then took the liberty of stopping at his eyes. Small equivalents and fluffy golden hairs are particularly eye-catching.

Speaking of which, while relieved by the appearance of his seemingly healthy friend, Latka further wandered his gaze among the soldiers.

I wondered what happened to Igor. I was in the same room in the barracks, and I wanted to see the face of that young man who cared about Latka for something a long time ago, maybe the last time.

But no one can find his discreet chestnut hair no matter how much they look.

Did he get hurt and pull first into the barracks?

Whenever I went after the soldiers looking for him, Latka lurked her eyebrows feeling uncomfortable.

I wonder what. Something doesn't feel right.

... Looking at the soldiers for a while, I gradually realized who the discomfort was and Latka felt his skin poppy.

There are obviously few soldiers.

Not many of Latka's seen faces are enough.

Besides, those who have suffered considerable injuries are also celebrating their return while being sheltered around them.

I could see a slight seep of sweat in my palms. I feel a tinge in my spine.

They went to protect the border. And Eliza, who led it, came home bloody wet. In other words, it was a battle that didn't seem strange when it came to death.

Why did you think the shadow on them was so calm about Eliza's situation?

No, but as I thought earlier, maybe I'm just returning to the barracks first.

Inside Latka, anxiety swells and swirls.

He looked down at the soldiers over the thick glass of the window.

Anyway, none of the people in the hall will let Latka know about the soldiers.

Then you have to go ask.

─ ─ A soldier who is not in the courtyard right now is also alive, to hear a word of it.
