"The scenery nearby is very similar to my hometown. In winter, everything will be covered with a layer of snow. Every time I go on such snowy nights, I will think of the dead tribe members..."

He said coldly, his expression unchanged, as if he was telling things that had nothing to do with him.

Just after we were shocked, the teeth lacked a slight slight sound and continued.

"We Tianzhong clan live on a mountain northeast of the Otinger Continent and live a life without regard for the world. Because we are good at hunting, we are well-known in the local area."

"In the East, orcs are often regarded as monsters. Therefore, after the regime of neighboring countries changed, they were identified by the radicals who advocated war and expansion by the court as foreign barbarians who had to be eliminated. Therefore, the emperor personally led his proud 50,000 elite army to massacre the Tianzhong clan, which only had more than a few hundred people."

Speaking of this, Ya's fist clenched angrily, her eyes became more and more fierce, and her suppressed emotions continued to overflow. He tried to follow up the unfinished topic:

"The Tianzhong clan has a custom. As long as it is an adult tribe, both men and women must go out to practice for a year, otherwise they cannot return to the village. Because of this, I escaped the disaster."

"After returning to my hometown, I witnessed the broken village and corpses all over the ground. In a rage, I killed several local officials and was wanted by the court. At that time, I thought so that as long as I escaped to the other end of the mainland, I might be able to get rid of the pursuers and get rid of this nightmare of extermination."

"Escape means running away, but I didn't expect the same thing to be performed here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his teeth loosened his clenched fists and his empty vision returned to the bursting firewood.

Things like this are indeed happening constantly. Some princes and princes have started wars everywhere for their own interests. I heard my father say that even when our Didvia was established, many alien races were forced to merge or annihilate and expel them.

No wonder Ya recalled this tragic past. The United Clan is facing the same situation. Perhaps it will be ruthlessly erased from the map in the near future and included in part of Kiwadland, and even the evidence of existence will not be left behind.

The silent we are like we are blended into a quiet night, and no one speaks until the tent makes a sound of opening the cloth, which is cut through with the suffocating atmosphere.

"Sorry, did our conversation wake you up?"

Zier apologized to Tiya, who had crawled out of the tent and pursed her lips.

"I just can't sleep, I remember to practice the song."

Tiya looked around us present, and said with awkwardly:

"Anyway, I don't think you're going to sleep."

Tiya, who was originally planning to sit next to the campfire, suddenly changed her mind and entered the tent to get a coat. She turned to the back of the tent. Soon after, there were sounds of flutes.

The expression of teeth is still dull, and the furry ears flutter with the rhythm.

Unlike the melody practiced in the dormitory on weekdays, it is more like the oriental tune that Tiya played when she apologized to Ya before.

The melodious and sophisticated music sounds are not at all like practicing.

Since it’s not practice, why should I get up and play in the middle of the night?

The answer is simple, but with Tiya's sensitive hearing, he will definitely not miss every word we talk to.

So she didn't know about this song and apologized for her previous attitudes.

The soft flute sound that slips into your ears makes people feel relaxed and relaxed completely.

Just as my sleepiness was about to conquer my consciousness, I glanced out of the corner of my eye at the other end of the wooden house, and there was a naughty princess who was quietly climbing out of the window.

I can't stand her even if I run out for a walk so late.

──Wait, would you be going to the marquis who is a bastard?

Thinking of this possibility, I immediately stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and bypassed Matadra, who was drowsy due to the sound of the flute, and chased Natsuki in the direction of Natsuki.

Unlike the night in Didvia, the snow from the white mist makes the view brighter, and the road is still clearly visible in the middle of the night. I followed Naiyue's footsteps to the sparse forest not far away.

The biting air poured into my nose, and the cold night wind rushed into my clothes while the chaos was rushing into my clothes. I had been roasting it in front of the campfire for a long time. When I left, my body was still warm. I only started to feel the chill of the snowy night when I walked away.

Natsuki was reassuring that he was moving in the opposite direction of the castle, but I was still curious about where Natsuki was going so late, so I followed silently.

Natsuki, who was humming a little tune, walked in the snow, spreading her hands to welcome the snow, and suddenly turned lightly again, looking like she was just enjoying the snow scene.

If she guessed correctly, she should have just been here for a walk, right? There was no special abnormality, so I'll take her back in a moment.

"─────Ahhhhhh!"

The bushes in front of me rustled. While Natsuki was screaming, I, who was hiding behind the tree, rushed out with pain, blocked Natsuki, and drew out the sword that I had finally recovered.

"Yak, why are you here?"

"Please step back quickly, and let it be given to the rabbit?"

A furry snow rabbit jumped out of the bushes, moved his pink nose under our gaze, and ran away leisurely.

I felt my bones of vision and smiled bitterly awkwardly.

“Ahhaha…”

Natsuki put his hands behind his waist, stepped lightly to me, squinted his eyes and stared at my face.

"Followed behind me secretly, I didn't expect Ak to be a stalker."

The cold voices and words pierced me.

"No, no! I'm afraid something happens if you don't know what kind of accidents you have in your life!"

I explained to Natsuki in panic that I forgot to put away the sword, and held it in my hand and waved it.

"It's fun, laughing~"

A brilliant smile appeared on Natsuki's face, and soon she stuck out her tongue and made a grimace.

"Look at your nervous look, huh, who told you to follow me?"

"I'm sorry, but what did you do when you ran out so late?"

"Of course I'm taking a walk to enjoy the snow."

Natsuki said as he stepped forward.

"Yak, don't you think snow is beautiful?"

She walked ahead in two steps excitedly, and turned around and chatted with me from time to time.

"Beauty is beautiful, it's a bit too cold."

Instead of staying outside to enjoy the snow, I would rather stay in front of the fireplace indoors to roast the fire.

If Didvia said that, you have to wait for at least two or three months before you can see the snow.

"Does it mean that your injury doesn't matter if you walk with me?"

"If you are worried, let's turn back. If the night wind blows too much, you will catch a cold."

Hearing me say this, Natsuki pouted and protested.

"Hey--but I want to walk for a while, okay~"

Natsuki made a cute and coquettish voice. I couldn't refuse (actually I don't have the power to do so) had to touch my nose and follow her slowly.

Aren’t you still worried about me just now? As expected, compared to your subordinate’s injuries, it is still important to appreciate snow.

"It's winter, and the scenery here is completely different from Didvia. The most important thing is that only outside can I relax like this one."

"It seems that I have disturbed your solitude."

"It's not true."

Natsuki narrowed her clear orange eyes and raised a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

"I don't know why, when you are with Yak, your mood will become very calm, giving people an incredible sense of peace of mind."

"Ahem, it's my honor to be loved by you."

As soon as I heard Natsuki say this, I felt my ears burn instantly, and I scratched my cheeks with shame.

The bushes in front suddenly rustled again. I put my hand on the hilt of the sword to raise my vigilance and signaled Natsuki to retreat to the rear.

Whether it is a rabbit or a giant bear, I am ready.
