Section B, Chapter 11: Sunrise by the Reef (Seresia)

Watching the sunrise over the sea and the sailboats shrouded in hazy light, Cereya, who was in a particularly good mood, hummed a ditty and drank all the remaining wine in her bottle.

"Hey...... Drinking honey wine and watching the sunrise in a calm harbor is indeed a great joy in life. Mad Dog threw his arm back and threw the bottle far away: "It's a pity that this is the last bottle." ”

"I'll give you this bottle......" Anusen sighed, handing over the bottle of honey he hadn't drunk at all.

"I'm so embarrassed. The mad dog immediately snatched the honey wine and bit the cork: "Speaking of which, don't you feel any emotion when you finally come to see the sunrise by the sea?"

"Not at all. The knight said angrily, "Why should I come with you?"

"Cut, like I want to watch the sunrise with a big man. "The mad dog vomited.

"And you come by yourself?" Anusen seemed increasingly dissatisfied.

"I can't do that. Ceresa immediately rejected the proposal: "The thought of watching the sunrise alone conjured up an image of a handsome blonde man sitting on a reef on the shore, alone drinking honey and watching the sunrise with a haughty melancholy air -- it makes me want to vomit nauseously, okay? That's why I pulled you." ”

"Come on, you. The knight smiled bitterly: "I can't imagine the picture you depicted. It's just disgusting. ”

"Isn't it? Ceresya drained the bottle of honey that Anusen had handed him, and as she raised her hand to throw it behind her, her wrist was grasped.

"You've got to fix it. The knight took the wine from the mad dog's hand and put it beside him: "Throw it backwards casually, it is easy to hit people." ”

"Who is this? Seresa snorted: "If you have time to preach, you might as well see more of this beautiful scenery." ”

"It's not like I haven't seen the sea in Tomeca. Sitting back down, the knight seemed worried.

"Can the one over there be the same as the one over here?" the mad dog squinted at Anusen, "The view over here is obviously much better. ”

"I think it's pretty much the same. Anusen said listlessly: "Even the view of Tomeka City is better. ”

"Huh?" Seresa raised her voice in disbelief, "Just that gray sea? ”

"At least I've got Allia with me. The knight grew frustrated.

"Your daughter can't even see, and you let her accompany you to the beach to watch the sunrise?" said Mad Dog in a skeptical tone.

"I didn't say let her accompany me to watch the sunrise. Anusen glared at him, "If you want to stay here, you're free." I'm going back first. ”

"Go back?" Seresa burped, "May you ask where you're going, Mr. Knight?"

"Nonsense, of course to find news from my daughter. ”

I knew it was like this...... "Then I don't think you need to go." ”

The knight, who was turning to leave, suddenly stopped and turned back in disbelief: "Cereya, what did you just say?"

"First, call me Mad Dog. Seresya slowly got up: "Secondly, you heard it right. As you heard, I advise you to give up - you have been asking for two whole days without any news. ”

That doesn't mean we should give up. Anusen was unmoved: "And even if they really didn't pass through here, we should wait for her here." ”

Mad Dog shook his head: "I think the opposite of you...... I don't think we should stay here. Your daughter and that ballβ€”"

"-Lolo. Anusen complained, "Don't keep calling her ball, she has a name." ”

"Well, as you say...... Lolo. Mad Dog stared at the knight, "I think they've already arrived in the Land of Permafrost, maybe even a long time ago." ”

"How is that possible?" the knight looked at the mad dog suspiciously, "Don't forgetβ€”"

"Yes, yes, I know what you're trying to say. Seresa spoke first: "That analysis does make senseβ€”at least until I meet the dead man." ”

"What about that?" Anusen frowned, "You know, everyone else in the tavern is-"

I can't feel him, I know. Mad Dog snorted disdainfully, "What's the matter, Mr. Knight, do you think I'm hallucinating too much drinking?"

"I didn't say that. Anusen denied it: "It's just, based on what he told you, how do you think that Ellia has reached the land of permafrost?"

"There is no substantial evidence. Mad Dog admitted, "It's just intuition." ”

"If it's just a gut feeling, we don't have to take that risk. The knight turned around impatiently, intending to leave: "I don't have time to accompany you here to talk nonsense about your plans to leave here! ”

"Wait, knight. The mad dog stopped Anusen: "You really don't know why I dragged you here to watch the sunrise?"

"Don't talk nonsense and delay my time. "Anusen looks like she's run out of patience.

"How can this be said to be nonsense-" Mad Dog was just about to calm the knight's emotions when he was rudely interrupted by Anusen, who was already blushing: "I have already said don't talk nonsense!"

"Well, I'll get straight to you. Ceresa put on a serious expression: "Just because you're in a bit of a hurry, knight...... I'm going to check if any view doesn't interest you. Look at how you did the last two days -- I'll ask you, when was your last meal?"

The knight, whose expression twitched slightly, did not answer. However, looking at his tired look, Seresya knew that she had guessed correctly: he had noticed Anusen exhausted last night.

"Can't answer, right? Mad Dog kicked the bottle at his feet and stared at the knight: "To be honest, I really didn't expect you to be in this state for the past two days. When I first entered the city, I thought you would be able to relax a little......"

"You won't understand, Seresa......" the knight looked distressed, "I thought I was ready to stay here and wait for them to pass by...... But after asking everywhere to no avail, I couldn't restrain my anxiety. ”

"Well, I really don't understand. Cereya shook her head, "I'm not going to pretend I understand your feelings, and I'm not going to pretend to comfort you with anything I'm not sure about: hypocrites like everything is going to be okay, your daughter is going to be okay - and yet that's what I'm like I'm a person, always called a cold-hearted, unsympathetic bastard." ”

"But I didn't say that. The knight looked at Cereya.

"yes, you didn't say that...... But that's not the point I'm trying to make. Mad Dog shook his head, "You're a decent man, Mr. Knight...... Unlike me, an open-mouthed bastard, there are many things that you don't want to say, for fear of misfortune. ”

Glancing at the silent knight, Mad Dog grinned slightly: "It seems that you have calmed down a little, Mr. Knight." ”

β€œ...... Sorry I lost my temper. Anusen sighed tiredly, "I shouldn't be angry with you. ”

"Okay, it's good for your body to get angry once in a while. Mad Dog put on a playful face again: "Your statement just now is really childish, it's okay, it's as insincere as a child making a review." ”

"Good, good. The knight smiled too, "I'll consider your plan to go to the Permafrost...... But it would be better to give me another day to ask. ”

"It's the same how many times you ask...... But that's fine. Mad Dog turned his head to look at the sun that was already about to fully rise, "Now you can probably feel the beauty of the sunrise by the sea, Mr. Knight, let's go have some breakfast in a moment, especially youβ€”you need to have some barbecue." ”

After hearing Anusen's helpless "Hmm." After that, Seresa turned her head in reassurance. However, as his gaze shifted, he froze.

At some point, a letter was pinned to Anusen's belt that didn't exist just now.
