The next day.

We left the city early in the morning when we were ready.

I was able to move on without anything...

I was able to come near Cagne much earlier than planned and after noon.

"Nevertheless...... this is kinda awesome"

"Nyah... keep it down"

There was fog.

He says it's after noon, but he's dyeing his surroundings white, without disappearing.

"The source of the fog seems to be Kagne."

"Weather anomaly? Or..."

Milfielle and Chocolate make a surprise face.

Though Millefeuil also uses magic to investigate, it seems that the cause is not clear.

"Nyah... Cagne's not a foggy city, is he?

"It should be. It's a city with its own culture, but never famous for its mist."

"Yeah, I think so, too. I've never heard that before."

Kanade's question was denied by me and Chiffon.

Then, for some reason, Canade has a jitty eye.

"Uh-huh. Both of us, breathing perfectly"

"It's like we showed each other."

"You don't just know each other, you sound like an old friend"

"Old friends, more like that."

Somehow, Tania, Sola and Luna join in, and everyone, makes an indescribable face.

I didn't do anything...?

"Ho ho. Everybody, calm down. I don't know how it feels, but right now, I'd rather concentrate on what's right in front of me."

"Unusual fog. You better be on your guard."

Tina and Rifa say the best things to me, and everyone pulls back quietly.

"There's no enemy reaction, is there?

"That's right, there's no such thing as demons. Naturally, there are no demons."

"Hmm."

I thought for a moment about demons I don't know, or the work of demons, but that doesn't seem like it.

There was one case of Krios, so maybe he's being sensitive.

"For one thing, why don't you go inside? I can't help but watch here... and, of course, be vigilant."

"Right."

There was a disagreement between me and Chiffon.

Everyone else seemed to have no objection, and each snorted.

"Well, let's go"

Slightly as you slip through your weapon at any time.

We set foot in Cagne.

――――――――――

Once inside the city, the fog grew even thicker.

My vision has been considerably restricted and I can't look ahead.

About five meters away, almost fog takes my sight away, and I'm about to see or not see my feet.

Though in that state, Kagne's people were fine.

I never pull into the house and usually a lot of people walk outside.

There were also outdoor shops and so on, and there was a mighty sound.

"I don't know... this is surprising"

"Right."

I agree with Canade.

There is such a fog that people in the city are anxious or frightened...

But that didn't actually happen, and I was spending my normal time.

No... I looked better, happier than normal.

The faces of those who see occasionally are all filled with smiles.

"Dangerous, isn't...?

"I don't know. I feel like I've seen it, and it doesn't look like anything in particular."

"Or peace itself"

I agree with Rifa.

If this is not peaceful, what will it be?

It's just...

I felt a little uncomfortable.

It's hard to put into words, but I think it feels distorted...

I felt something unnatural in the smile the city people showed me.

But I don't know any more than that.

Because there's no such thing as someone being harmed...

Is it looking good now?

"First, let's go to the inn."

"Right. I want to secure the lodging early, and I might be able to get a lot of information from people there."

In agreement with Chiffon, we decided to find a place to stay.

It's in the deep fog, so it's kind of a hassle...

In about thirty minutes, I was able to find the inn safely.

It's a large number of eleven, but the room is secure without any problems.

Come on, let's go hear it.

That's what I meant...

"... haha"

Nina seemed so sleepy that she spilled her nagging and yawning.

I just arrived in Cagne and haven't rested, so maybe fatigue has come up on the table.

Seeing, everyone else felt similar, and the individual difference, it seemed tired.

"Everyone seems tired, shall we hear it tomorrow"

"Right. I don't think it's dangerous, so I agree."

"It's a fuzzy bed! I want to take a hot bath, too!

"Ah, Luna! I won't let you run away alone."

Luna and Sola ran upstairs with Dadada.

That seems to have solved everyone's nervousness, laughing, and heading to the room each.

Though I took a rest in the city on the way...

I am not completely tired because I have not calmed my body down carefully.

Let's get some rest today.

That's what I decided, and I went up the inn stairs, too.

――――――――――

……

I felt like I heard a voice.

The consciousness is in a deep meltdown, and the body doesn't move properly...

Blurry, you're sleeping right now, for Christ's sake.

It's not like a clear dream, but sometimes, like that, when you're asleep but you know your condition, isn't it?

"... n..."

I heard voices again.

I don't know what you're talking about with interruption.

But... what is it?

I miss it so much, I'm going to cry just listening...... such unsure emotions are creeping me up.

"Rain. Wake up, Rain."

Now, I heard a clear voice.

Consciousness surfaces so that it is attracted to its gentle voice.

"Mmm..."

"Rain, are you awake?

Wake up slowly and do your gaze sideways.

I was there...

"... Mother?
