Chapter 8 – Little Girl
—Three days after the battle with Cecilia.

“Hey! And so, we’ll have to walk home!?”

Riko shouts as she walks along an empty flat road.

“It can’t be helped. I never thought the rail tracks were broken.”

I answer to appease her.

However, Riko’s anger did not settle with that extent.

“But it’s weird! I can’t believe the entire line across the bridge collapsed! Someone absolutely blew it up!”

“I certainly think the disconnection at this time is unnatural. I think it’s an obvious human factor, but if it is, isn’t that an act of terrorism?”

It is true that the situation around the Elmerado region is not ideal, and there are not a few who are dissatisfied with the military’s direct governing of the country. I think it’s too much to destroy the rail tracks, which are the lifeblood of travel.

However, I have no idea who the culprit is.

“He’s the only one who can do this… but what is it for? No, he’s doing this without any special purpose …”

“So, what have you been muttering about Serra for a while? If I had an idea, I would be plenty worried as a sweetheart.”

Riko suddenly peeks dubiously at my face from beside me.

It’s so close! And her emphasis on ‘sweetheart’!

“I-It’s not like that, okay? First of all, you don’t have to say ‘’sweetheart’ that strongly here.”

“You’re obviously upset. Besides, being my sweetheart isa fact, sweetheart.“

“It’s Riko’s strange remarks that I’m upset about, and don’t stress ‘sweetheart’ out twice!”

My body temperature rises. I’m sure my face is red now.

Yesterday’s date was also pretty embarrassing. No matter how tolerant a country is to homosexuality, it’s not like you can walk hand in hand on the street, drink two straws in one cup, or get kissed while giving a lap pillow on a park bench. I was utterly delighted and bore so much good fortune!

“Hey Serra, such a smiling face”

“Oh, shut up! Look, I can see the wall!”

Saying that, I point to the distance and tried to gloss over her statement.

There was a huge wall ahead.

Only the city in the interior of ‘Wall’ is the capital of the Elmerado militant nation, ‘Warden’. Naturally, because a military base is located here, the town is enclosed by a ‘Wall’ which extends as much as 50 meters so as not to be easily invaded. I wonder how such a huge structure can be erected as a whole, but the country was so powerful that it could carry this out.

“Even if you can see the wall…. it’s just coming into view. How much longer?”

“About two hours?”

“Too Faaaaaaaarrr. Die, my feet will die first!!”

“I usually walk here for about five hours. We only started walking from Uls recently, didn’t we?”

I pat Riko on the head and start walking.

Even my feet are cramped. I want to rest now, but we can’t deviate our plans.

There’s a lot to do — reporting to the military, collecting information about the Undying, and training for the next battle. We must not repeat our previous mistakes. We must kill the Undying and not create any more tragedies.
