We each run into the shadows of the building and hide ourselves from that masked person.
All of a sudden, the children who haunted earlier, sit on the spot and cry or desperately pull the door knob.
But the door knob won't open. I know why.
"Shit, get over here!
I reach out to the boy and try to jump out of the shadows, but at some point he grabs my hand by Zahr, who was behind me.
"What are you going to do, Zahr!
"Calm down. This could be a trap."
"Trap?"
"Oh. That's a twist. They're gonna shoot you where you came from."
When I look at him from the gap, he bounces and squeezes his bow in any way.
... Sure, he might be right. But......
"Sorry, Zahr. I can't abandon you."
"... hey!
At the same time I hear Zahr's anger coming from behind, I hold the boy with my left hand and at the same time use the bandage wrapped around my shoulder as a shield, starting with an arrow that flies with a whispering noise.
Naturally, pain is unimaginable. That's all I'm going to lose my mind about, but I stayed on my feet and hid myself again in a nearby building.
"Oh, thank you, thank you"
"Fine. It's no big deal."
"Huh? But there's blood..."
"It's no big deal. But we have to hide here now."
Honestly nodding to my words, I turn around and stare at that masked person.
But he's already got a second shot ready, and he can't afford to jump out and get close.
It was then.
"Stop. They're my acquaintances. You don't have to shoot me."
"... Sylvia,"
"Long time no see. Mr. National Rebel."
Sylvia looks at me with the same chilling look she did six years ago.
... which one. Is she on our side?
That's when it was Bettenburg who walked out of the building.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Noel, who took a leap forward? In a good mood."
"Former Sir Bettenburg. Your slack won't heal if you're tortured."
"By contrast, you seem a little old, don't you?
Sylvia responds sarcastically with even cooler eyes, raising only the corners of her mouth.
... Why is she here?
"Well, Sir Noel. What are you doing here?
"I'm here to destroy this city. But it doesn't look like it."
Sylvia sighs after a glimpse of looking around.
While the children are frightened outside, the adults think only of their own preservation and confine themselves to their homes.
"Such a pitiful city doesn't change whether it exists or not. Sooner or later, the opposition will destroy us."
"Ma, wait!
One man barks to bite so as to block Sylvia's words.
Seeing, an earlier eye-seated soldier was poking a spear at her neck.
"Get out of this city, get out!
"... even if they don't tell me. But I'm surprised. I can't believe soldiers like you were still here."
"What are you going to do, insult this city!
"Yeah. I don't know if it's charity or something, but it's not just a pig farm pushing happiness. Anything to send you but the word" disgraceful "?
"Don't lick it!
He puts his strength on the hand holding the spear as if the soldier had been poked and tries to pierce her throat, but it also prevents the arrow from being in his hand.
Seeing it, the earlier masked man was somehow approaching.
"Yes, I'm done. Heh heh, that's unusual."
"K, sooo...!
Soldiers tend to stir up injured arms on the ground, but do not stand well.
That's when a little stone hit my cheek.
"Heh, don't bully the soldier!
Looking in the direction of the stone flying, there was a girl there playing with the boy earlier, staring in tears.
And then next thing you know, something like a vase can be thrown from inside the house, but it cracks at your feet.
When I was looking for the person I threw while rubbing my cheeks, an adult who didn't show up until earlier had an angry look on his face.
"Oh, yeah! Get out of here!
"Don't interrupt our happiness!
"How could you be happy...!
Various nasal screams come into my ear.
That's when one of the adults who was riding his body out the window dies by an arrow that flew from somewhere.
"Shut up."
"Hih......!
Silvia's frozen words make the adults around them quiet at the same time.
And when I realized it, the masked humans were surrounding the city.
"These kids are golems. You can create as many people as you want."
There was some joy in her eyes telling that.
At that time, there was a presence clinging to my feet.
"... no, help me, brother!
"Earlier, child..."
"Oh, that's funny."
Sylvia reaches for his head when she smiles as if she has found an interesting toy.
I rush to prevent it, but then an arrow flying from behind pierced the boy's body.
"Oh, hey..."
"Huh...?
After that word, the boy stops moving as if the thread was broken.
I see that, I fall off my knees.
"... why are you doing this...?
"'Why'? Are you an idiot? If we do not eradicate them completely, the law of the wise will surely come to life. So we have to kill them all."
"But he said he wouldn't destroy...!
"Yeah. I was going to. Unless the soldiers there are human beings."
... that his courage has destroyed this city?
There was no one around me to say a word.
Terminator sticking in his ear. A crying voice. And an anger that contains anger and hatred.
It's like, now we...
At that time, one great gust of wind blew, turning the man in the mask who was on the edge into two straight.
And there was a presence that would call on us at a rate no less than that of Fiadora.
The name of its existence is' Sofia '. I was a brave man in this world.
