Help me......

I don't want to stay there anymore......

Who's going to save me......

=================

As she walked through the flame-covered village—she could still hear cries of despair, but she could not find any trace of "man"—and there was no end to the road. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

She felt that she should feel sad and cry, but she felt that she was no longer herself, and her steps were taken subconsciously.

Suddenly, she seemed to see a basin filled with water appear in front of the road, and she couldn't help but walk to the front to see "herself".

"It's ...... What's going on......"

Neither the voice nor the appearance is "her".

This strange feeling crept through her heart, accompanied by a fear she had never had before.

Gradually, even consciousness has to be mixed into this sea of fire.

She...... Who the hell is it? Does it belong here, does it belong to this land of death--Gradually, she wants to go into the fire.

I want to return to my "homeland".

"Wake up!

Whew!

====================

She woke up suddenly, and was met with a pair of azure eyes.

"It's okay, it's just a dream. He looked at her and tried to reach out, but stopped in mid-air.

Fitnair hadn't fully recovered, her blue-purple eyes shivering as she gasped, looked around blankly, and finally turned her gaze back to Ed's—a rare sign of vulnerability in her usual steadfastness.

Even this fragile emotion is shattered.

No one knows what emotions lie beneath this layer of brokenness.

She looked at Ed with an expression like this—her blue-purple eyes were like some kind of star, and she could catch everyone's attention.

Sand......

Ed was stunned, and before he leaned forward slightly, the girl had already stretched out her arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned into his arms—perhaps just a knee-jerk reaction, for there was only this person in front of her.

Ed's body froze for a moment, then he sighed and hugged her.

His hand caressed her soft white-blond hair, a gentle movement that made one suspect that the person was not Ed.

Fitnair seemed to calm down in this gentle reassurance, and felt sleepy again—I don't know what it felt to make her forget her fears.

I felt that the figure in my arms no longer trembled slightly from fear, and gradually calmed down and fell asleep.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but remembered something, and frowned again.

Sure enough...... Is that so.

Because the things that were left in her body were "awakened" by something he did. Even if it's a body that is completely isolated from magic, it's found flawed because of too deep emotions.

But, what exactly was "woken up" by something?

"Really...... What a nostalgic emotion, but now it has become something that causes trouble...... Seemingly...... I've got to get you to that place......" Eddard's arms tightened a little, slowly lowered his head, and kissed the girl's hair, "but something...... Absolutely can't tell you ......."

========================

Early in the morning, when Fitney woke up, he unexpectedly found that he had woken up much later than usual.

It's a strange thing.

She wanted to get out of bed, and the moment she raised her hand......

Boom!

The door slammed open, and the black-haired young man saw the room where the girl was sitting on the floor, frowning at his arm—but Ed couldn't see the difference in her arm.

"Don't you get up yet, little girl, I've been waiting for you all morning!" Fitney raised his head when he heard Adez's voice, still in a trance, and then Adez poked his head in, "What's going on?"

"It's none of your business. Ed glanced at him and walked straight towards Fitney.

Fitnair watched Ed crouch down in front of her, blinked, at first she didn't open her mouth because she thought something was a little weird, but when she bumped into those eyes, she couldn't help but say, "Just now...... Saw some ...... on the hand Strange textures. ”

"Black?" Ed gripped her wrist.

"Like...... Be. Fitney was stunned for a moment, then continued.

Ed was silent for a moment, then said, "You're wrong—get up first, eat something and leave." ”

Fitney wasn't convinced—because Ed did seem to know something.

But she didn't refute it.

Watching Ed leave, Fitney stood up and looked out the window for a moment.

How could it be...... That's wrong.

She raised her hand again, and at her "call", the pattern resurfaced on her hand.

You usually have such lines on your hands, but that's due to your summoning system, which strengthens your arms.

The blackness unnerved her, and she didn't know what it was.

Fitney suddenly felt that she had forgotten something—but she could not remember anything—and she only vaguely felt that it was a very bad thing.

And......

Fitnair raised his hand, and a familiar pattern appeared on the back of his hand, but the color was so dull that it could not "awaken" the summoning circle after the previous summoner had disappeared as usual.

Eru Vaion vanished after casting enough spells to consume herself, and she could theoretically make her next summon, but last night, she failed to summon it.

She didn't know what was going on.

These things made her feel a little lost and anxious, because the system was pretty much the only thing she could rely on.

Happily, the lines used to strengthen oneself have not disappeared.

Take a deep breath—Fitney's eyes close and open—she doesn't have that much time at this point.

Pushing open the door, Fitnair simply ate something and left the city with the men.

their destination......

"Aesop Forest?" said Fitney as he saw the forest that appeared in front of him.

"Surprised?" said Adez as he walked at the front, glancing back.

"Where are we going?" asked Fitney.

"A village. ”

Fitney frowned: "In the forest, the village?"

"It's no wonder, there used to be many villages in the forest. It was Jill, who spoke, and he was carrying Clarence, who was still unconscious, on horseback, "The village we're going to......"

Fitney suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"It's my hometown. Jill continued.

Jill's tone did not have the pride or nostalgia of a normal person when he told about his hometown, but with an inexplicable sadness.

"A village in the forest...... I remember, in the May of roses, there were ...... in the forest," Fitney remembered.

No one spoke, not even Eddard, who was not trying to hide anything from Phytenay, but ......

Fitney's eyes narrowed, for the thought of this brought to mind something familiar and strange to her.
