At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

Something's wrong with the inn. No, a lot of people are moving even though it's already midnight outside as well as the inn. Is something wrong?

There were all sorts of people running around with their hips up that were settling on the bed and looking out the window they looked like they were scared, in a hurry, confused, determined.

"Anything wrong?

Squeeze as you lean your neck.

"What's the matter, Mr. Tallow?"

Sigal comes to see the same sight by my side, looking at the window and squealing a bewildered voice.

"Case, I guess."

"Sounds like it."

People, young and old, are moving in a hurry.

Some of them look like night runners.

Maybe we should see what happened.

There are signs of someone coming, too, so if you know what's going on, let's hear it.

Someone comes in front of the door and knocks on it more and more.

"Yes, yes."

I respond lightly and open the door. Mr. Bollocaro stood there.

"Tallow, it's an emergency. Can you come to the union now?

"I can go, is something wrong?

"It's a demon. There were tons of demons out there. They say the east city is devastated."

The city is devastated? It's not calm. What happened to the people living there?

No, is that what devastation means...

"When we get to the union, the branch manager will tell us more about it."

"Okay, you should go right away."

"Oh, I'll go after I speak up a little more, but I'll be right there"

"Okay. See you later."

Demons. How many are there to destroy the city?

The destruction of the city must mean that some of the people who could fight there were hit, and I guess quite a few of them.

Sigal, this time it's dangerous.

"How much?"

It seems dangerous, so when I tried to tell him I was coming alone, he was restrained along the way.

"I'll follow you. Besides, it's safer next to Mr. Tallow."

"Mm, okay."

Right. It might be safer to stay out of sight than out of sight.

If you stay here and this place gets attacked, you won't even be able to see it.

We got up to speed and when we opened the door to go to the union, we just had a veterinary boy.

"Hey, you going too?

"You bet. Branch chief's calling."

"You, the Branch Manager and your father are very dear to you."

"I don't know. It's my fault."

The boy denied my words and went straight outside.

I felt like I was in a hurry about something, but I don't know what happened.

"Something you don't understand."

Speaking of which, I didn't hear his name after all. Well, okay. Next time Mr. Bolloccaro will tell me.

"Let's go, Sigal"

"Yeah!"

In a hurry, I turned to the union on a fast foot, looking around at the people running around.

When we got to the union, there were quite a few people there. Is there all the unionists in Wang Du? Four or five hundred should be there.

No, if there are people running around like Mr. Bollocaro and the others, there will still be more.

Everyone is discussing something like anxiety.

"I can't believe we're gathering so much at this hour. Is that all you mean?"

"You know, people are amazing and you're under pressure."

Is that boy mixed up somewhere in this too?

"Are you here, too?"

He slaps me on the shoulder and speaks up. When I saw him, he was the father of the inn. You've found it in here well.

However, the outfit was suited to the word warrior, not the father of the inn. He has a great sword that looks tough.

"Dad, were you a unionist?

"Leave me alone. It's been a long time since I left, but I've been working out, so I can move properly."

Apparently, your father was a retired man. What is it to collect even such a person?

"Retired people are out there, too, aren't they?"

"Well. That's all the anomalies."

"Me, I have no idea what's going on, you know what?

"The people here are more or less right. Well, I know."

Apparently, most people were not informed of the situation, but they got together because of an anomaly.

Does your father feel like a boulder retirement force, a connection to know what's going on or something?

"Is this a good thing?

"It's rare. Especially when it comes to this one, it's a serious anomaly."

Besides the rarity, is it more of a problem than its rarity?

If you know what's going on, can you tell me?

"If you don't mind, can you tell me?

Ask your father to give you a slightly lost look.

"Um, I think Ama's guy will explain it in a little while, but... come on."

Ama? Who would it be? Is it the name of someone in the staff?

"The East City... was it a name? I forgot, there was a big city there to the east, but they attacked me with tons of demons.

Probably on an inevitable scale. The dead... hundreds of thousands would be strong if they had been wiped out. If you're bad, you might be going a million. "

"... Huh?

Number... ten... ten thousand? A million?

Oh, wait a minute. My brain can't catch up.

The death toll is too much of a joke.

"A demon that devastated that city could come this way. No, they'll definitely come one of these days.

Anyway, it's easier to crush this country, which relies on dragons, than the other countries that are fighting it.

Even if you go to another country, you'll turn back and come this way. Spread the word for food. "

"I depended on the dragon, I relied on it, I was..."

No, I have a feeling.

If you ask me, I have a very, very bad feeling that I will regret it.

"Oh, yeah. In the meantime, you know a dragon showed up in the royal castle, right?

Ama's is a nobleman for once. I wasn't there, but I knew the dragon said he wouldn't defend this country at the Royal Castle.

Perhaps this is the result of the demons the dragons have been dealing with. "

The dragon didn't, because.

Because I told the dragon I didn't have to protect him, not like I've always done.

So the dragons, they stopped protecting you?

"This country almost stopped admiring dragons, and only its favors were about to be redeemed. I guess this is the bump.

There is no longer a dragon, and there is imminent danger that I have not thought of dealing with before. I've been waving my sword around this city for a long time to protect my daughter. "

I can hear your father's words far away. More than that, I was swirling in my head remembering the words I nodded when I said I would let the dragon through for future national policy.

'Can you tell the old dragon to leave it in the hands of men except in the sanctuary?

'Okay. I'll tell him. That's good for Tallow, right?

I nodded without thinking deeply about it. At that time, I thought the only threat was coming from another country.

But what about the results?

A million dead? The city is devastated? By my choice?

"You're lying..."

I unwittingly grace and bring it to the wall I had beside me.

"Hey, kid, what's up?

"Mr. Tallow!?

Like how I've changed, you two call out to me worried. The words are far away and I feel very far away.

Dead. People are dead. People died in large numbers.

Because of me. Because of me, he's dead.

Because of my thoughtless choice, I'm dead.
