The trail of the sky The light belongs to you

At the end of the bifurcated intersection, there stands an ancient building - the Emerald Tower. The main color is green and the mottled appearance reveals its standing style in the passage of time and the historical connotation it contains.

However, when you walk to the door of the Emerald Tower, you can feel the dangerous atmosphere in the tower - it is a place where monsters live for a long time, except for those with martial arts ability, ordinary civilians will not enter here.

"Really... Those two guys, Luke and Pat, actually came to such a dangerous place..."

The girl with twin tails - Estelle Bright, her bright and passionate fiery red eyes are filled with a little sullenness and helplessness at this moment.She is the daughter of S-rank guerrilla Cassius Bright.

"I didn't see the two of them along the way... they should have gone in."

Joshua Bright, who belonged to the same family as Estier, had short black hair, a delicate face, especially those amber eyes, which were different from those fiery red eyes, revealing a kind of calmness and mystery. It was like a thin layer of mist.He was the adopted son adopted by Cassius ten years ago, and he became a quasi-guerrilla together with Estier.

However, when the road of practice was about to start, they got bad news: the two children of Lorient ran to the Emerald Tower full of monsters in order to explore...

"Then...it's not too late...let's go in quickly."

The two came to the Emerald Tower. The first floor was very quiet, but the second floor was completely different. Strange figures wandered around every corner of the ground, as if waiting for passersby who relaxed their vigilance to pass by and deal a fatal blow anytime and anywhere. .

"Woo, whoa, whoa!"

"Help, help...!"

The child's voice came from the depths of the second floor. Obviously, they became the targets of the monsters.

"Joshua...!"

"understand!"

Living together for five years, this pair of partners has developed a perfect tacit understanding even though they have completely different appearances and completely different personalities.Soon, the two joined forces and came in front of the monsters.

Even if it is just a newcomer who has just become a quasi-guerrilla, whether it is the wonderful arc drawn by Estier's long stick, or the sensitive speed of Joshua shuttling between the monsters, it makes this battle very smooth. It was quickly wiped out.

"Estil, you're pretty good! Even though you're just a little girl, you really have skills!"

After Estier heard Luke's praise...

"You idiot! Really, you actually brought such a good Pat here, let's see how I teach you!"

"Wow...let go of me, rough girl Estier!"

"And dare to say that to your savior..."

"Then, that sister...let him go..."

Joshua on the side couldn't help being a little speechless about such a scene, you know, Luke is such a naughty child...

Suddenly, Joshua felt a sense of disobedience, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his amber eyes, and then he looked behind Estier, and saw that the monster was quietly approaching...

"Estil! Behind you!"

"Eh?"

The girl turned around... "Not good..." Estier blocked Luke behind her, but it was too late to stick out, not to mention that Luke was likely to be injured in such a position, what should I do... …

"Damn it...!" The black-haired boy's eyes suddenly focused on one point, his two knives were out of their sheaths, and his right foot tapped lightly...

Bang-!

In a few seconds, a golden shadow came to the back of the monster, and the shining rapier pierced into the monster's body, instantly turning it into a puff of emptiness, and the Yao chips scattered all over the ground.

"...It's a close call, are you all okay?"

The girl who arrived at the critical moment put away her rapier, her golden hair gleaming, gathered from the middle to behind her ear into a neat ponytail, tied with a hairband decorated with golden leaves, the rest of her long hair hanging down To the waist, the slightly curved hair tips fluttered gently.

"Ah...no, nothing."

"Really... that's good." A trace of tenderness flashed in the girl's blue eyes, and then turned serious, "...Boys are naughty, yes, but there must be a limit."

"Woo..." The girl squatted in front of Luke, keeping her gaze level with him, "It's okay to always worry the adults."

"Well... I see..." Luke lowered his eyes, suddenly turning into a sensible child.

"Speaking of it... Big sister, you are amazing! You are even more handsome than sister Estier!"

"Ah... this child is really..."

"Well, that, that..."

"Ah, I'm sorry," the girl stood up, "Estier, Joshua, hello."

"Huh...?" "Do you... know our names?"

"Well, I just went to the Lorient branch. I heard Miss Aina talk about the situation here, so I rushed here immediately. Fortunately, I arrived in time."

"I see……"

"Then...it's not convenient to talk here, and we don't know when the monsters will come again, so let's go back to town."

"...The above is the report of this operation."

At dusk, Estier and his party returned to the Guerrilla Association and reported the rescue situation to Miss Aina.

"Then, it's time for me to introduce myself. Hello, my name is Onasa Barlowka, a B-class regular guerrilla fighter, and I am currently working in various regions of Libel. Please give me your advice."

"Hmm~" "Please give me more advice."

"Hehe...then, even if you know each other, Onasa will temporarily be active in the Loriente branch."

"Ah~ Then there will be a chance to meet again in the future." Estier showed a sunny smile, obviously very happy to meet a new friend, "Speaking of...Miss Onasa is already a B-rank at such a young age... …Amazing……"

"Hehe~ Actually, I'm not that young, I'm a few years older than you, Estier."

"Eh... eh!?"

"Onasha is always misunderstood about her age, and she must be used to it." Aina narrowed her beautiful eyes and said half-jokingly.

"Really...Miss Aina, you still made fun of me."

"Hehe...then it's getting late, Estier, you should go home, right?"

"Ah... yes."

"And what about Miss Onassa?"

"I live on the second floor of the association, but let me take you out of town, okay?"

"Yeah, of course!"

"Then, let's go, sister Aina, see you tomorrow." Joshua waved to Aina, and under the setting sun, the three of them walked towards the exit of Lorient.

At dusk, the afterglow of the beautiful sunset sprinkled on Onasa's blond hair, refracting dazzling colors. She tidied her hair a little, and suddenly found that Estelle was looking at her...

"Estil...? Is there something on my face?"

"Ah... no, no..."

"Esther, something was wrong with you just now. Could it be that you are not feeling well?" Joshua asked with concern.

"Well... no."

"...Could it be, are you thinking about what happened in the tower just now?" Joshua was always keen, and he quickly understood Estier's thoughts.

"Well, how should I put it, Miss Onasa's skill just now was very powerful, on the contrary, I was complacent for a while... almost hurt Luke..."

"So it's this." Onasa closed her eyes, and approached Estier, "Estier, maybe it's a bit strange to say this from my point of view, but it's not a bad thing for you, Guerrilla Only by being calm and calm can you protect others well. Moreover, if you still know how to think about your own mistakes after the fact, I can conclude that your future is limitless."

"That's right...it's not your style to be troubled blindly. Isn't this the job you've always dreamed of? It's okay to be depressed all the time." Joshua also echoed the comfort. He knew very well that although Estier's appearance was sloppy, He doesn't take things to heart, and is actually a person who hides things in his heart.

"En! Thank you, Joshua." Estier's sad eyes suddenly became full of vitality, "That's right, isn't this like me at all~ ah~ I feel hungry when I relax .”

"...You really are an optimist." Joshua held his forehead while showing a relieved expression.

"...You two have such a good relationship." Onasa narrowed her eyes, "It's enviable..."

"Eh?"

"Ah...no, it's nothing." Onasa smiled again, "It's getting late, you should go back quickly, Mr. Cassius must be waiting at home."

"Ah...and more." Onasa suddenly thought of something, "Although I am older, you can call me Onasa in the future, so that you will not appear so alienated, okay?"

"En~Okay."

"Goodbye, Onasa, then."

The shadows of the two became more and more slender as they walked forward. Onasa stood at the intersection, watching the backs of the two until they disappeared...

At dinner time, Estier and Joshua learned that their father was leaving home, and at the same time accepted some less difficult entrusted tasks from their father.

However, regarding the news of her sudden departure, Estier seemed a little lonely.

"I will trouble you during this time, and the rest of Lorient's guerrillas will also help."

"Ah... Speaking of which, we met Onasa today. Is she also someone my father knows?"

"Oh? Have you seen it?" Cassius took a sip of red wine, "Indeed, I have some tasks for her. Although she is still young, she is very mature in terms of sword skills and thinking. Do you have any questions?" You can ask her for help with any problem."

"Well... okay." Estier recalled the short time she spent with Onasa during the day, "I feel like a very kind person, and also very elegant... It would be nice to be friends... But, I always feel like she has a frost-like breath..."

"Yes," Joshua recalled the situation at the intersection at dusk, "Although he was very gentle, he felt that he was intentionally or unintentionally keeping a distance from people."

keep... distance...?

"..." Cassius was silent for a while, and then said, "Ah, you will become friends. Definitely."

Under the night, the streets were quiet, as if the monsters had also fallen asleep, and they were not making trouble on the streets for the time being.

Outside the wooden house, a middle-aged man with brown hair was looking up at the sky—what kind of stories were happening in other places under this sky.

"This task... is very tricky."

The girl was already asleep, and the conversation between the father and son was going on at this moment, accompanied by the faint smell of green grass on the street.

"There is no definite evidence yet...but there seems to be movement on the side of the empire."

"Erebonian Empire..." Joshua lowered his eyes, "That means it's suspicious..."

As the departure approached, Cassius was still worried about his nervous daughter, so he asked Joshua to take good care of her.

"However, don't get too used to her." Cassius looked at the red liquid in the wine glass, "One day she will also choose the way forward according to her own will. Joshua... the same sentence I told you too."

"..."

"Five years... time is so fleeting." Cassius looked at the starry sky, "Joshua, you have to remember that no matter what kind of road you take, these five years can't be spent. Estelle...is always your family."

"...Well, I know, Father, thank you." Joshua smiled, "Then, I will also go to rest."

"Ah, let's go."

night, deeper.The temperature of the air seemed to drop a bit, and Cassius took a sip of the red wine in his glass.

"... Onasa... It's been a long time since I saw you..."

The end of the words gradually merged into the night, and everything will return to tranquility.
