It's all one flower.

"Oops. Take turns. Come on, come on."

Soon after that, Leno raised his eyelid in the voice of an elderly terrorist… Medvege.

I feel the plump of a boy soldier morph on my shoulder. I was surprised at myself for not being disgusted by that.

Terrorist Juvenile Soldier Morph wakes up first and gets up in solid motion.

Leno gives a blanket to Luke, the boy of the land people, to replace the place. Roark also shared with Medvege and the muffler, and put himself together and wrapped them in a blanket.

[Lights] dotted by Cruillo on pebbles are placed at the foot of the watch.

It can be seen well from afar when placed in a high position. I was trying to keep it as discreet as possible because I had to call in people who were not good.

From the rubble gap, light leaks.

Miscellaneous demons are dumb outside the beds surrounded by rubble. Things that have just occurred and are rare do not even come close for fear of the light of [lights].

Nothing with a slight density of presence enters the compartment surrounded by rubble.

Because Cruillo and the pharmacist (dull) Awellana, who hung me before I went to bed [Simple Connection], protect us all.

The subject that Leno and his men guard against is not the Miscellaneous Demon.

Human.

... That sounds weird. This is how you work with terrorists?

It was these terrorists who burned the city and took their homes and stores.

I can't even tell you that my father died because of the air raid, but if it weren't for that terrorist attack, I wouldn't have been in that place then.

I have no idea where my mother is or whether she's safe or not.

The cold blows my drowsiness and various thoughts gush up into Leno's chest.

In just a few days, the world has changed.

Until last week, the difficulty of discerning how to pinch bread fabrics and fermentation times was Leno's troubled seed (spring).

Now, shoulder to shoulder with terrorists in ruins and alert thugs.

There is no fragrant smell of bread anywhere.

I didn't think a normal life that I thought would last forever would be so brittle. Too unrealistic, and this is the situation that makes me feel like a bad dream.

I taught him that the cold that pierces him is an indisputable reality.

I borrowed gloves from Pina and a muffler from Tis, but the cooking clothes and apron alone made it cold.

If I'd stayed in the sun during the day, I wouldn't have. If you do something, your body will warm up too, but now you have to stand here and watch.

Rub shoulders, step small to get warm.

When I see a cluttered demon crawling through the ground, I feel disgusted.

Leno raised his gaze.

Stars full of heaven, nothing changes.

A thin cloud flows under the starlight.

Forever, there's no reason why we're doing this here.

The presence of radio broadcasts meant that there were still safe areas within the Republic of Nemoralis.

In a discussion after lunch, I was to listen to the radio after breakfast tomorrow and then decide where to go.

Destinations include the downtown area and harbour of the neighbouring city of Masrina.

Find Cruello's mother and Awellana's family.

... There doesn't seem to be a lot of people around here who survived the old trenches or the basement.

I guess those thugs survived in a place like that, too.

I don't think a powerless people would walk at night.

Reno shuddered remembering a night at the children's park.

The enemy of the moment is a tyrant of a powerful people or a demon that cannot be prevented in [the simplified kingdom].

... Oh, well. We have a common enemy, so we can work with terrorists.

How long will you act with them?

"Ah."

The boy soldier Morph raised his voice slightly.

Turning around, I saw [the light] blurring illuminating the side staring east. Leno followed that gaze.

An indeterminate black mass shakes.

Much bigger than humans.

Just a few dozen steps away, something the size of a few trucks slowly moved through the rubble.

My mouth is dry and I can't even speak.

As fascinated, my gaze nails me.

Is Morph the same? I tremble in small pieces.

It may be dangerous for you to speak badly and be noticed by you. Is that idea right or is it just an excuse? Leno himself didn't even know.

Not in the cold, trembling in fear, dropping something black off.

Looks like we're heading from the direction of Lake Lacus towards the western plateau, Zorata District.

Of all the rubble lighted by the stars, only the black mass is as dark as it was taken.

I don't see anything.

I don't see anything.

Miscellaneous demons flock to a mass of darkness. As soon as he touches the mass, he disappears to swallow by the mud.

... demons... is that it?

The lump of darkness moves west, not even looking at the Lenos.

No footsteps.

In silence, a mass of darkness drifted like a jellyfish swaying in waves. Miscellaneous demons jump and swallow one after the other in the pit-like darkness.

How much time has passed?

When I noticed, neither chunks nor cluttered demons appeared.

Leno exhaled heavily. Power falls out of my knees and I'm about to fall. I managed to stomp, looked up and looked west.

There's nothing here.

Quiet enough to think it was your fault. You can see it floating in the dark, but there's no sign of the Miscellaneous Demon.

The [light] under your feet is still bright.

Leno tried to move his hand. Strong (frightened) by fear, cold and senseless.

Breathe with your gloves on. It's not warm, but the sense of reality is back.

"... what... now...?

His voice trembled and blurred, but it reached Morph. A boy soldier points only at his neck this way.

"I don't know..."

The whisper hurts so much in your ear.

I gaze into the darkness of the west wondering if things never asked me.

I took plenty of time to check and exhaled.

"Brother, what's the time?

Morph asks me, and I look at my watch. It's dark and invisible.

Crouch down and hang the dial on the [light].

It was already past my shift time. Turning around, Medvege and Roark, too, wake up and gaze into the darkness of the west.

I can't help it if I'm trembling.

Leno regained his mind and woke up Pina with Captain Solgnac.

A boy soldier Morph waves no to the two men trying to replace the place and takes them to a watch position. He pointed in the direction in which the lump of darkness had left and explained it in a low voice.

Captain Solniak listens to the report with a hard look.

Reno also looked west again. The darkness just goes on, and there's not a single lamp or anything like that. The [light] beneath my feet is dazzling.

"That didn't respond to the [lights] here or to our signs, did it?

"Yes."

Morph pulls his jaw (chin).

Captain Solniak summed his expression and slapped the boy soldier on the shoulder.

"Good luck reporting. Get some rest."

The captain pushed him on the back, and Leno and Morph lay back to back at the entrance to the bunk.

The two of us wrapped it in a single blanket, but I can't even sleep with my eyes open.

Leno looked at Pina.

After wearing the gloves I just gave you back, be on guard all the way west. From this position, I don't know if my sister's expression looks familiar.

... Am I waking up too, about the side of the pina? I'm not sleepy anyway.

I nearly woke myself up, but I lay right down.

If Leno leaves, the morph will freeze.

Pina is wearing a coat, muffler and gloves, with Captain Solgnac next door.

... Whatever you think, you're stronger than me.

I don't feel I can protect my sisters in Leno if that darkness comes and strikes again. I wasn't sure I'd get away safely with my sisters.

... a powerless people...?

Leno closed his eyes firmly.

Even if I can't sleep, I have to rest my body and prepare for tomorrow.

Fear of darkness and concern for my sister.

While immersed in anxiety, Leno sometime fell asleep, dragged by fatigue.
