I was taken by Yu after that, walking in the city.
The streets are no different from those of Mactoria and Isel, with various people each walking in their free attire.
It's big enough for a road, and the carriage is walking in the middle of the city.
From a distance, is it a merchant?
"What's the matter, was there anything that bothered you?
"No, nothing..."
"I won't shy away. I'll answer anything I can."
That being said, I never ran out of doubts about Yu, who is more obnoxious than I am when I first came to this city, but this city is visited once.
... If I were to ask, it would naturally be this.
"Is that clock tower not working?
"Oh. Everything. There's no administrator of that clock tower right now. It is. I don't know the details, but at that height, it must be tough to manage."
Well, that makes sense.
Even at this distance, which is never close to the clock tower, you're glancing at your face from the building.
If it falls during the maintenance of the clock, it won't be much of a relief.
Even then, she was happily talking about the city and Karen was also hammering by nodding against the words.
... Words are different, so maybe I don't understand them. It remained a less pungent look.
In the meantime, as I slipped into the city for a while, I hit a wooden building.
Yu gently holds Karen's shoulder with his empty hand as he points to the building.
"Right here. Get your stuff today... Speaking of which, don't you have any baggage?
... Speaking of which, I completely forgot about that.
What I have is in the daybook given to me by Bettenburg, the dagger Scott gave me. And on a coat full of ink, a small amount of gold.
I can't even do that because I burned my own house to get it back.
... Well, when this war is over, I'll disappear too.
What's the point of luggage now?
"Oh. I almost ran out of the house, so I don't have one."
"Well, what are you going to do with clothes and stuff?
"... I'm going to think about it"
"I have no choice. My brother, so I'll lend it to you if you like."
"You have a brother?
"... you were 'there' to be exact. A few years ago, I died of illness."
She lays her eyes down and turns away from me.
... yet, I guess it's hard for her.
"... I've told you a boring story! I'm sorry, forget it."
"No..."
"More than that, it's time for the sun to go down today. If I were to see the Cardinal, it would be tomorrow, okay?
As she said, the sky that spreads in front of her was beginning to stain a light blue.
It doesn't have to be today. You won't even have to bother to hurry.
"Oh, I don't mind. More than that, why was Yu outside Forse?
"I thought I was going to take Karen outside. She was a slave before that."
You'll see. I just want to say, I don't have a hobby for deliberately breaking the waist of a story.
"So the law of our wise men bought it away. So I offered to take care of him. I wanted to give her a taste of freedom once."
"Freedom, huh"
"Oh. Even she has the right to be free. That's why I wanted to show her the world first."
"... showing the world is freely connected?
"I don't know. First of all, I don't understand freedom perfectly."
She laughs a little self-derisively and strokes Karen's head.
The brown hair was sarcastic and felt well maintained.
"So I want her to feel for herself, not me. about what freedom is."
"... right"
"To do that, you have to work hard on your studies first!
That said, she strokes my head and hers, unlike she did earlier.
I suppressed her arm with both hands if she didn't like the boulder, but I watched it and felt like it was a grumpy resistance because of the large difference in force.
"Master, I'm embarrassed..."
"It's not your husband. Yu, or your sister. Say that or I won't stop you!
"Master Yu, please stop......!
... I guess it's her own compromise.
I walked into the house where I was instructed to do so.
Inside, on multiple wooden tables, more chairs than you can count.
There was a counter like rectangular table in the back.
"Lazareth's room is upstairs. Karen, show him around. Surely there must have been an empty room."
"Okay."
... When it comes to upstairs poking, there's no way I'm lost.
But Karen looks up at me and waits for me to follow her.
I bowed my head lightly to her like that and decided to be guided.
Walk through a well-cleaned wooden hallway and enter a poking room.
Beds and curtains inside. And a desk.
That's all it was, a simple room.
But on that desk live a vase so pathetic that it does not resemble this untouchable room of life, and red flowers.
"... What's this?
"Didn't like it...?
"No, I'm not..."
I lift the vase and stare at the flowers.
... common flowers like I've seen somewhere, everywhere.
Staring at such flowers, I noticed a certain discomfort.
"... is this, a costume?
Touch the petals made of cloth to make sure they feel.
But the water in the vase is real.
Do you think he's alive?
I put a vase on my desk and sit on my bed.
"Thank you. I don't mind going back to Yu"
That's what I said, lay down in bed and close my eyes.
... but I can't hear the door opening at any point.
When I opened my eyes curious, there was Karen peeking into my face.
"... what can I do for you?
"... that, something, something nasty happened?
"What?"
"Oh, uh, the... That face of Lazareth, because it was very similar to ours..."
... maybe it means a similar expression.
I sigh and answer her questions.
"Well. I can't tell you what I don't like when I count."
"... Really?
"Oh. Even you, right?
"I..."
You know, I'm gonna shut up.
I look away from her like that and keep my eyes open.
But then I felt the weight on the bed and opened my eyes.
"Hey. Let me ask you something about what you just said, huh?
"... what can I do for you, Lynne"
"That's it. How do you know my name?
"Clock tower. Isn't this the answer?
I heard Lynne breathing against my words.
She knew about the clock tower, too.
Then the story is quick.
"So you're from the future...?
"Oh."
"Tell me! What happened in the future!
"The world is doomed. The devil has destroyed the world."
That's what I say, and I hit her upside down to turn my back on her.
But she came to me like that with a voice that made my heart freeze.
"So, what are you here for?
"I... right"
"'Vengeance'. He came back to avenge everything that betrayed me."
That's all I said and I closed my eyes to cut it off.
