Soon after Schnee had left, since he couldn’t just remain there forever, Shin left and stored Tsuki no Hokora.
The night wind chilled the small traces of passion that still lingered.
“…First, should I head back?”
After climbing the rampart with 【Hiding】, he went back inside the castle without being noticed by anyone.
As he went back to the inn, he bought a light snack at a street stall and sat on an empty bench.
Information regarding the ‘Flood’ seemed to have spread well already, as he noticed people that appeared to be preparing for the war here and there. There was no sense of urgency. Was it because they had experienced the ‘Flood’ several times before?
“Ara? Shin-kun?”
While he was watching the pedestrian traffic, he was suddenly called out to. When Shin turned around, Holly was walking toward him with Shadow right behind her.
“Are you heading back now?”
“Yes, and I’m going shopping while I’m at it. What are you doing in a place like this, Shin-kun?”
“I finished the weapon reinforcement, and I’m a bit hungry now.”
Shin had met them at just the right time, and since he had already finished, he gave the two back the weapons he had strengthened.
