— Strange, it's strange. — But the thorn bushes are really strong, so it should be fine, right? — Were there always this many people in the forest?

Leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, Lime remained silent for a while. Staring blankly at the empty room without its owner, he recalled what the boy who had just left had said. 'She, she's been missing for a while now. The villagers and I have been searching, but we still don't know where she is......' There were no signs of forced intrusion in the house.

The animals lined up, waiting for their turns. "Next." At Olivia's voice, the cat who was next in line leaped onto the platform covered with a soft carpet. "Meow meow. Meooow." —I hate pain. Please be gentle. "Of course. Today we're just doing a simple check-up."

Kedrick constantly talked about how cold a person Arsen was whenever he got the chance. 'Do you see this wound? I got it when a demonic beast bit my leg. I thought I was going to die right there, but the Commander suddenly appeared and dealt with the beast. And then he looked at me bleeding profusely from my leg.' 'And then?' 'He told me to stop the bleeding myself and follow him. He said since my leg wasn't severed, I could walk just fine.' The next day, he told Lydia about an incident…

After asking her to protect him, Arsen regretted it. He couldn't understand why he acted differently from his usual self whenever something related to Lydia happened. Instead of promising to protect her, he had whined about being afraid. How pathetic must Lydia think he was? In reality, Lydia didn't think Arsen was pathetic.

Though he looked so cold that not a drop of blood would come out if you stabbed him, Arsen was a kind person.

And though she hadn't realized it at the time because she was out of it,…

The people on the border didn't believe in the Goddess. As people who lived close to death, they used to believe fervently in the past.
