I was running around looking for food, but I couldn't find a place to get it.

"Shit! Unless it rains...?!

What I found was a wagon. The carrier is covered with cloth, but the smell of food is drifting. I can see another, pure white carriage in the back. Probably a noble carriage.

If you reach out to the nobles and get caught, they'll definitely kill you. Still...

"We have to do it..."

Immediately hide in the shade and look around.

There are two guards standing in the blind corner of the carriage. The owner of the carriage is apparently in the store.

……

Only now can you sneak up on the wagon in the rain.

"That's what that bastard suddenly beat me up!

"Hah?! Was he there?!

The two guards seem to be excited by the public talk.

Only now.

I quietly sneak in behind the wagon and leave the cloth.

There is a pile of food that I have only seen in the store. Bread, fruits and vegetables. Everything.

My thin arms are limited to what I can carry. Hold Lisa in both hands, choosing only what will cheer her up. I don't even know how to smell apples. Lisa's gonna be fine!

"Hmm? Ah!

"Nh!!

One of the two noticed me. I immediately jumped out of the truck and ran away.

Don't!

"Yik?!

Someone hit me on the shoulder. The cute voice rang from a white cat beast in a beautiful blue dress. Is she as old as Lisa?

You have vomiting.

Even though we are so desperate to live, these people abandon their food as they deserve. Throw things away. And throw people away.

There is no pain where I stole enough food to hold it in my hand.

I saw a white cat with a butt mochi on top of muddy water and thought it felt good.

"Dear Prithue! Hey, go after him!

Yes!

I ran around the city to the right and to the left. I ran out of breath and dropped some food.

"Hah... hah... but... I ran away..."

Turn around and nobody will see. I'm glad I didn't get caught. This will help Lisa.

She walks forward with her wounded legs to where Lisa is waiting.

Your whole body is wet and dry, and your back teeth are tickling with tiredness and cold.

"Hah... hah... finally arrived"

Shit...

The apple that I brought rolls over the rubble.

A shadow stands in the rubble, solidified with black clothes from top to bottom. Though taller than me, it doesn't change that much.

The figure grabbed Lisa's arm and lifted it unconscionably with one hand.

Lisa is hit by rain and exhales a small, shallow breath.

"What... you're not dead? Shall I lead you?

The rough blade was pointed at Lisa.

"Lisaaaa!!

Run through the rubble with all your might.

Oh?

A figure turned to my voice.

The eyes visible in the hood are rounded and pupils open, and you feel unusual pressure.

Force your feet out in front of you when you're about to stop.

Suddenly, a white line runs in front of your eyes, and the left side of your face is cool and hot. The left half of the vision becomes red and then black.

I don't care! Now the shadow throws Lisa!

Catch up with Lisa before she falls, and hold her back on the rubble.

Guu!

Fragments of debris strike your back hard and make you unable to breathe.

"Uhh...."

"Heh, what a coincidence you were avoided. Take me to my room...."

"I found it!

Aristocrats... have you followed me so far...?

"... shit. I'm in the way.

"Nah, what are you?!

"Fuhihi... I'll see you again.

That's the figure who runs away from us.

"Hey, hey! Are you okay?!

"It's a terrible injury!

In Kasumi's gaze, you can see bright white hair and a bright blue dress.

I can see that my sister's breath is getting smaller.

"Please... no matter what happens to me... just my sister..."

My consciousness broke down there.

I don't know why I relied on someone else at the end of the day... we've lived alone ever since. I've relied on the ones I don't want to rely on the most. At the end...

"Uhh...."

She felt pain in her left eye and opened her right eye.

Voyage vision. I don't even know where I am.

As your awareness gradually rises, your last memory comes back to life.

"... Li Xi... Sa Xi..."

I needed some time to realize it was my voice.

I have slept for several days, and my throat is dry and my voice is swept away.

Shit!

"Nh!!

When I shifted sideways, I suddenly felt a floating feeling and shock all over my body.

I don't see it well, but I think he probably slept somewhere high.

"Uu....."

My left eye hurts badly. It seems that the cloth is wrapped. It hurts terribly, but... there's something more important to check than that right now.

Gacha!

A small shadow of white and blue enters into the blurred vision.

"Don't get up!

The shadow approached me and tried to touch me.

"Nh!!

He waved his hand around to get rid of it and stared at its shadow with a blurred vision. My throat is dry and I can't breathe.

"Phew... Phew... Lisa!

"It's okay. Your sister saved my life. I'm still asleep, but I'm fine. Don't worry.

Please lie down in bed, too. I'll bring you some water.

In my gradually clearer vision, I can see a gray-haired girl trying to reach into my body with a trembling hand.

I couldn't get rid of that hand.

Two days from that day. Every day the girl brought me clean water and food.

Thanks to this, I managed to get my voice back and my head was clear.

My left eye still hurts, but I can't bear it.

"Dear Ether,

Today the girl... Prithue brought me water and food.

"... is Lisa still asleep?

"I sometimes get up and eat water and food. I just need to be quiet now...

Lisa wants to see Etha too... "

"... I see. I'll see you as soon as the wound heals.

Yes!

I've never seen anything so strange before in my life.

Even though he is noble, he gives water and food to a slut like us with his own hands, and washes away my unclean body, which has never washed my body or my hair, with his own hands. That was a girl named Prithue.

After a few more days, my wounds eased and Lisa recovered.

And for the first time since then, I met Lisa.

Sister!

Lisa came running and hugging me the moment she saw my face. Fluffy and floral hair. Clearly rinsed and smoothed skin. The thin cheeks calmed down a little, and above all, it was a smile full of faces.

"Lisa."

Sister!

Lisa cried with her head pressed against my chest.

"For me..."

"Are you talking about these eyes?

………

"This is a scratch. And it helped me protect Lisa. I'm proud of the scratches.

As you stroke your head, your ears and tail are twitching. Lisa's habits are the same as they used to be.

"Yes! Let's go shopping together!

"Shopping...?

"They always seem to have stolen food, but the truth is they buy it!

Take me to Prithue, who raised his finger, and head for the city.

I bought clothes and food.

"Delicious, sister!

I see.

Lisa walks around smiling.

I saw it and made up my mind.

A few days later, having spent those days, I headed back to Prithhue.

"Etha?

"Don't follow me. Because it itches."

"Fufufu, it's like a habit, please forgive me.

"Fine, but...."

"Did something happen?

"... I've got a favor for Prithue.

"Please?

"... I want Lisa... for my sister.

He doesn't understand what I'm saying.

"Since coming here, Lisa has grown up and laughed. He's been weak for a long time. Life in that place is at its limit.

I said I'd protect you, but I knew better this time.

... I can't protect you right now.

That's why I want to ask you about Lisa. I don't care if you're a squire. Can you leave Lisa here?

"... what does Etha intend to do?

"I can't stay here. You mustn't stay.

"I'm glad you're both here.

"... it doesn't suit my skin.

Even an adventurer will do it, and you'll go up. Unlike Lisa, my body is strong!

"Sister!!

I hear Lisa from behind.

I was going to leave silently, but my nose is only good at this kind of time...

"Don't go! Sister!"

"Lisa... you do your best here. Prithue is a good boy.

"I don't want to! You should come with me! You promised you weren't going anywhere!

"... Lisa..."

"I don't want to! Don't leave me! Phew!"

She strokes Lisa's crying head as usual.

In this case, I was going to leave quietly because it was difficult for me to leave...

"I won't be gone. I'm Lisa's sister. Stronger than anyone. I'll climb up there so I can change the ghetto.

But I can't do that if I'm here. Listen carefully.

The truth is... the black guy who took my left eye when he tried to kill Lisa. Because I want strength to win that. But... I'm sure I can't get that strength here.

"My sister's stupid!

A weak fist pounding his chest. Hold that hand.

"I'll definitely get stronger. Enough to protect you by yourself. That's why you're here.

Keep holding Lisa in tears.

"You fell asleep.

"I'm tired of crying. Shit. Not yet.

Crawling her fingers after Lisa's tears, she moved her face as if she had wobbled.

"It is unusual for someone as strong as Ethan.

"I'm Lisa's sister. Stronger than anyone.

"Fufufu, that's right.

………

"Are you going?

"Oh, I got Lisa.

"I've been entrusted with it.

If you stay here any longer, you'll never be able to leave.

Bye.

"Please wait. Take this."

"... what is this?

Prithue will give you a long, thin box.

"When I went shopping the other day, Lisa was the only one who asked me to buy it from Etha.

"... I see.

Black eyelashes, the same color as Lisa and I had. Put it in your right eye.

"What do you think?

"It suits me.

"... thank you.

"... good luck.

Last time I stroked Lisa's head and left them.

A few years later, I was called the female leopard of the ship's eye, but that's another story.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Lisa and Etha were listening to each other before heading to the Glades.

Etha will be angry when she hears I'm going to use a flame of resentment on a ghetto corpse.

It's obvious because it's like experimenting with old people.

However, knowing this, the subsequent movements will change dramatically without it. It was necessary.

I didn't want to do it either. But I know that's just an excuse.

Maybe that's why I didn't think about avoiding Etha's fist.

"Sinya! I'll beat you up!

"... if the opponent is the Knights of the Holy Order... the Knights of the Holy Order are not that kind.

"So, there will be good and bad things to do!

I'm really angry. Ethan's.

"I'm not going to lose my grip again.

Still, I'm not going to pull either.

"What?!

"If you let those scumbags do whatever they want, they'll say it's outrageous, they'll despise you for being a crowd, but I won't let go!

"You bastard! I'll punch you in the face!

"Sister, calm down!

Lisa suppresses it to stop Etha.

"Get off me, Lisa!

"Calm down!

What echoed in the room was the voice of Prithue.

Etha's voice, which could be said to be the drinking of Prithue, stopped moving.

"Dear Ether, Do you think that Shinya did this with pleasure?

……

"According to Sinya's speculation, it is highly likely that the opponent will cause great damage to the city. and.

"What do you mean...?

"... if you think calmly, you'll see. If we were to undead and manipulate all the bodies... the total number of people in the village that was attacked so far would be two hundred. If I had gotten my magic five years ago, I would have gotten a few from there.

Undead enough to completely surround a small village. It's a small village if it's completely surrounded. No amount of noise will reach the next village. All you have to do is keep the village away from people who aren't undead.... "

"If Sinya's guess is correct, we may have nearly twice as many undead.

"Four hundred times...?

"Or more.

"That's the number... where did it come from..."

"They're from the Glades.

"Eh...?

"I asked Prithue. It seems that the city regularly cremates bodies rolling in the ghetto to protect them from undead and plague.

But in the last three or four years, there's been an overwhelming decline in the number of bodies disposed of in the ghetto.

"I... know that, but..."

"I don't know who you're talking about, but it's a lie that the economy got better and the people in the Glades stopped dying. No matter how good the economy gets, it doesn't matter to the people in the favelas.

"Me and... your sister... you know that, don't you?

"Oh no... that's a lie..."

Etha looked like she didn't want to hear it.

"Recover and undead bodies from the ghetto. I suppose they destroyed the village when the numbers were right.

I think that the only trace of flames of resentment left in the village, not fire magic, that do not prolong the burning, is that the undead, who hates light magic and fire magic, does not stop moving.

What do you think you're gonna do with an army of undead?

No way...

"I'm going to make Delsmark... the nest of the dead.

…………

Etha will understand the significance of what I'm saying.

"I don't have conclusive evidence... but I don't think we're going to be able to push the undead together. We will attack the city in several parts. I think we're putting undead around the city for that.

For the past three or four years, Delce Plateau is located outside the east gate, where there are many nobles' apartments. The three of you told me that there were fewer monsters around there.

"Suppose it's hidden undead influence...

But if you put it in a place like that, you'll find out right away!

"Where are the Holy Knights? I never knew, but what if someone from the nobles was connected to the Knights of the Holy Order... or was one of them?

"No... no, that's not true..."

"I can't say no.

The aristocrat Prithue speaks for himself.

"If this assumption is correct, I can see why the city of Popol was so violent that it wasn't retaliated against.

Because if you take this del Smark, you take all the villages and cities around it. The city of Popol is far away. Rather than deliberately attacking such a place, it is more efficient to drop the Delsmark and gradually expand your forces.

I didn't retaliate because it was a small thing before the big one.

……

"Three of Chum's men are on their way to see if there are any undead shadows around the Delce Plateau. I'm sure she'll be back soon..."

Gacha...

"Sinya."

Three of Chum's men came in through the door. Just in time.

"Diniz, how are you?

"... I got it.

"Huh?!

Etha clasped her fist.

"Wallawara and Undead were in a natural cave next to the Delce Plateau!

"I've never seen anything like it!

"Daisy."

"... Etha.

"Sister."

Daaaah! Shit! I'm sorry I hit you! I don't like the way you do it!

"I don't want to be liked anyway. Besides, I'm aware that it's outrageous.

"I don't like it... but I'll convince you! But don't ever do that to the favelas again!?

"I won't do it. I promise.

"All right! That's it for now!

So, what do we do? Especially Sinya. You're not from this city.

"You know that. What do you think you're here for?

"Kuhaha! That's right.

"But I have one favor to ask you.

"What?

"When this is over, I want you to help the city of Popol.

"Assistance?"

"The more flashy I move, the more likely it is that the city will be targeted as a weakness. That's why I want you to protect me.

"I promise.

"Prithue?"

Prithue says it's a promise with a serious face.

"Can I make that promise on my own?

"I can't name Sylzante because I can't promise anything like this.

"Hmm. Prithu was Prithu-Silzante, wasn't it?

"Shishishishishishishishinya!!

"What's the matter, Istitia? There's so many of them, huh?

"Sississississisylzante is the name of the Beast King!

There's a lot of faggots again... huh? King of the clan?

"Hmm?! Really?!

"I'm late. I am Prithhu-Sirzante, daughter of Sirzante, king of the beasts.

Heh... You really were there.

"Hey!? Shinya! Is it too thin?!

Diniz's reaction would have been normal...

"Nooo... even if you suddenly say so, Prithu is already a Prithu in me. Even if they say it now..."

"Kuhahahaha!

"This disrespectful person. Why don't you lower your head?

"Sure... you're going to be a princess, how much do you need?

"No! Please stay put!

I gave my name to make sure I kept my promise to Shinya-san.... "

"That's what I said.

"Kh...."

Lisa turned to her side in regret.

"My father has entrusted me with this city. Even if I decide to talk about assistance alone, there is no problem.

"If that's the case, how do we blow the scum up next?

Shinya. Can you use that magic against the undead?

"I don't know. I couldn't try it that far. Besides, if I could, I wouldn't have the strength to change the war.

This magic has no power to spread fire. In other words, when it comes to magic against an undead, it takes 400 shots to put everything under control.

"That's an unrealistic number.

"Then it seems that we need to simply crush the undead. You're only dealing with zombies?

"There were a few skeletons and a few laces in the cave we saw.

"Real Real Lace?!

Lisa has a blue face. There is something wrong with the way I hang around.

"What? Is Lisa still not good at lace?

"My sister doesn't like zombies either!

"Ah, I don't like it. They stink. You're a tough opponent for a nosey Beast tribe. Sure I don't like it, but I'm not scared, am I?

"I'm not scared here either!

Oh, my God.

"Yes, yes.

"Because it's true! Sister?! Are you listening?!

"But Les is a nasty opponent. It's almost invincible for those who can't use magic....

Good. Place an Emergency Quest from the Adventurer Alliance to force them to join. That should help us secure a certain number of people.

"Forced..."

"If anyone who ignores it says he's going to the training camp with me later, everyone will join!

Etha smiles.

"Don't say that with a full smile. Because I'm scared."

"I will also move my troops.

"The way adventurers and soldiers fight is the opposite. It would be better to move on each side than to cooperate. I'll leave that to you.

Yes!
