The trail of the sky The light belongs to you

The tortuous Ravenu Mountain Road finally came to an end. At the end...it was a quiet village, surrounded by green shades and abundant fruits, rendering the simple folk customs of the whole village...

"Phew... I'm finally back again..." Back in my familiar hometown, many familiar figures are busy... It seems... It's been a while since I came back.

"If you don't mind, how about going to my house to rest for a while before going to the village chief? At this time, the village chief... should be helping in the orchard."

"Well, then excuse me."

"You're welcome, then...please come with me."

The crowd followed Onasa to an ordinary house in the corner of Ravenu Village. It was a building with a fresh decoration style. The floor was covered with green patterned carpets. In the center of the living room was a dining table with broken A flower vase is placed in the center of the dining table.

There is a fireplace for heating on the wall of the living room, and upstairs is the sleeping room. The kitchen and the living room are integrated, and there are all kinds of cooking tools...

There is no doubt that this is a warm house... However, it seems that there has been no trace of living in it for a long time.

"What a beautiful home..." As soon as she entered the house, Estier walked around excitedly, "If only I had such a beautiful carpet at home..."

"It's really beautiful...but..." Joshua was also looking at the decorations in the room, but there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

"...Well, because no one has lived here for a long time," Onasa walked to the kitchen, stroking the slightly dusty countertop, "Guerrillas are usually very busy with work, and I often move between different areas, even if I pass by here occasionally...and rarely live here...and..."

"So... where are Onasha's parents?" Estier asked, and then...seemingly aware of the loneliness in Onasha's eyes, the end of her words gradually became lighter.

"My parents have left." Onasa closed her eyes, and gave an ambiguous and short answer, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while...

"Anyway... the village chief should have almost finished his orchard work." Onasha's loss of composure lasted only a moment. "Then, shall we go to the village chief's house?"

"En...well, okay..." Estier felt a little uneasy, and glanced at Joshua who was standing aside, and after receiving the comforting gaze from the other party, she finally got a little calm——

The blond girl has already walked out of the door at this moment, and the shadow cast by the sun is that shadow——

"The stronger the light, the heavier the shadow it will cast..."

"Hello, Chief Leysen, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

"Au... Onasha?" The village chief Leisen, who was arranging books in front of the bookshelf, heard the familiar voice and turned his head in surprise, "It's been a long time...you seem to have grown up again... By the way, Who are these?"

After briefly introducing my identity and the purpose of this visit...

"So that's it, you guys are guerrillas, so you're also Onasha's colleagues... Well... this kid will get along with people now... By the way, has Onasa met Agathe recently? "

"My original partner on this mission was him. For some special reasons, I also need to participate in the investigation of this scheduled ship incident... So Agathe is still acting alone..."

"Is that so...he still walks alone..." The village chief couldn't help closing his eyes quietly, his vicissitudes of face seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past.

"...Village Chief..." After Onasha called softly, the village chief came back to his senses...

"Ah, I'm sorry...then let's get down to business."

Estier and the others learned that the person who witnessed the huge black shadow in Ravenu Village was a child named Rui. With Onasa's introduction, they got to know this little boy wandering on the trestle bridge.

When it came to the fact that no one would believe in him, Rui's eyes could not help but burst into tears...

"Huh... you child is really..." Onasa took a few steps forward, squatted down, and maintained a posture on par with Rui, "How can a boy cry casually?"

As if completely different from the person who answered coldly in the room just now, Onasa in front of her showed the image of a gentle sister.

"Rui, listen up. The military's investigation doesn't mean everything. We're here to find you because we believe what you say."

"Really...really?"

"Of course it's true. We'll find that huge black shadow you mentioned, and tell everyone who laughed at you that Ruy was right, okay?"

"En... En!"

Rui burst into tears, wiped away the tears that were about to burst into his eyes with the back of his hand, and showed a sweet smile unique to children, with a trace of gratitude in the smile.

"Very good... Good boy, you can't always cry in the future." Onasa stretched out her hand and gently stroked the boy's hair, "You also have to...be strong..."

Arriving at the entrance of the waste pit to the north of Ravenu Village, unexpectedly the door was locked. At this time, the keen Estier discovered that there was wind blowing out of the waste pit. After Joshua’s verification...it was concluded that there was Another exit conclusion.

So, they went back to Ravenu Village and asked the village chief if he had the key to the waste pit...

"Strange...where will the village chief be if he is not at home..."

With the reflection of the sun, Onasa found the figure of the village chief——

At the end of the cemetery in Ravenu Village, there is a relatively large tombstone with a few striking lines engraved on it——

Year 1192 of the Seven Yao Calendar

The six kind souls who lost their lives in the flames of war are buried here.

Rafe, Abel, Nichol

Wim, Elena, Misha.

Rest in peace before the seat of the goddess.

There is a bunch of pure white flowers in front of the tombstone, and the village head of Laishan is standing there, silently facing the words that confirm the historical moment...

"...Village Chief Laisen." Onasa silently walked to the side of the village chief, and also closed her eyes silently—for these, the partners who used to live with her prayed for their support in the Goddess of the Sky. Happiness can be obtained under the blessing-in that world without war and betrayal.

"What a magnificent tombstone..."

"Well, this was built to commemorate the victims of the war ten years ago," Onasa gently stroked the tombstone, brushing off the weeds growing on it, "Because the Perth area is very close to the Empire, it has become a The worst place in the war..."

"This village was also ruthlessly swept up by the flames of war. I don't know how many people sacrificed their lives for it..." The eyes of Village Chief Laisen revealed deep sadness and regret.

"...Ah, sorry," Onasa smiled awkwardly, "It made some of you fall in love..."

"Well...it's okay, but..."

"Since we are here, can we also worship?"

"Of course, thank you very much..."

Estier, Joshua, and Shirazade stepped forward and stood in front of the tombstone, praying quietly.

Even though time will heal all scars, every time she sees this tombstone, Onasa's eyes seem to rekindle the chaotic flames of war at that time.

Destroyed buildings, fleeing people, falling bullets...

and also……

Onasa couldn't help letting out a big breath...

"I don't want to show sadness"

"So... please close your eyes..."

"Whether it's that war or that night"

"Just keep moving forward and you'll be fine."

After the worship, everyone borrowed the key of the waste pit from the village chief, and explained the general situation at the same time.

There is no doubt that Guerrilla's keen intuition is reliable——

"That's it!" Esther saw the right opportunity, and sacrificed herself from the hiding place sensitively.

"What!?" Jill Capua, who had the same hair color as Joste and was the one who rescued Joste in the mysterious forest, was startled.

"Damn... Xiao, the news is wrong! It seems that it came too early..."

"...I don't understand what you're talking about at all."

"..." Onasa's eyes suddenly focused when Jill said this sentence - did she guess correctly...

"Based on the regulations of the Guerrilla Association, you are suspected of robbing a regular ship and taking passengers hostage," Shirazade waved his long whip, making a whirring sound in the air, "Catch me with your hands!"

"...Wait, wait a minute, don't you... the three want to arrest us?"

"What, do you know it at a glance?"

"Well, that's it. It has nothing to do with those guys." Jill seemed to be relieved, and at the same time took out the bomb with his right hand and threw it up and down, "If that's the case, let's talk about it earlier... I'll let you sleep for a while! "

The battle is almost one-sided. Even though the sky pirates have no disadvantage in numbers, they don't seem to have the ability to deal with the pursuit of the sky pirates...

It didn't take long for the other members of the sky pirates except Jill to be unable to move.

"...wait a moment." Onasa suddenly stopped moving, and at the same time signaled to the others to temporarily stop fighting, "Mr. Jill, the fighting has progressed to this extent, and I don't think there is any need to continue."

"...You, could it be..."

"Although I think it would be better to confess after confirming the matter, but..." Onasa raised her rapier and pointed at the chest of Jill, who was half kneeling on the ground, "In fact, there are people behind the scenes of your operation this time, isn't it ?"

"……Eh?"

"what……"

Not only Jill, but the other three were also taken aback, "Could it be that...they are the people you are investigating?" Joshua immediately noticed the mystery.

"That's right, Agathe and I are tracking a group of men in black who are acting abnormally—" Onasa turned to Jill again, the sword in her hand pressed again, "During the investigation, we learned that Doron Capua , that is, your boss, has been acting strangely and uncharacteristically lately. Considering that this is very similar to a technique used by the men in black, I also came to investigate this incident to confirm... But... I didn't expect it to be a hit I got a prize."

"This... this is just your speculation...!"

"[Inaccurate information] [There is something going on in Perth], and the fact that you guys are so reckless in committing a robbery... With the evidence, I think I should trust my instincts."

Onasa put away her rapier, "However...it is true that there is no conclusive evidence for the time being, don't worry, after the arrest... I can listen to your explanation slowly."

"Humph……"

Unexpectedly, taking advantage of the moment when Onasa relaxed her vigilance, Jill suddenly threw out a ...

"what……!"

"Oops...□□..."

"Damn... don't run...!"

However... when the smoke cleared, Jill, the members of the air pirates and the small airship had disappeared, leaving only the empty regular ship, still on the ground of the waste pit...
