36. On the Road 8

Then I woke up in the dark outside. Yua was sleeping next to her, and Yumir and Mary were sleeping further down.

Looks like he was asleep before he knew it. If Jade and the others haven't woken up yet, is there still time for a lookout shift? When he left the carriage, he was ready to go outside, thinking of this, and there was a figure who was burning a little further away.

Maybe the guard is making a fire? And who could be there with that in mind? and approached. I hope it wasn't Randall, but when I approached him, I saw a good shadow of Gatai, so it looked like Jade was burning.

Knowing it was Jade, I approached Jade without stopping, and Jade saw me.

"Who is it?"

"It's Lena."

Jade and I met as we approached each other. I was just staring at each other silently without saying anything to each other, but Jade talked to me.

"... you woke up early, didn't you?"

"No, I went to bed as soon as it got dark, so I slept for quite a long time"

"... I see. We have a little more time before the changeover."

That said, when I saw the hourglass nearby, there was still just under a quarter of the sand left. I don't think it'll take half an hour.

And I said, "When that sand is about half full, it's going to wake you up."

That said, Mr. Jade nodded for a while. After spending a relaxing time pinching and drinking something, I went to call Yua.
