The trail of the sky The light belongs to you

After the sky pirates left the waste pit, everyone searched the regular ship left at the scene, and found that the guiding force had been cut off, and the building was empty...

"I finally found the regular ship...but I don't seem to have found any clues..." Estier couldn't help feeling disappointed, and now she didn't know what to do next.

"Actually, there are no clues." Onasa checked the equipment in the regular ship. "There should be a reason why those air pirates parked the regular ship here."

"That's right... If you want to transport goods, it should be more efficient to transport them to your own base..."

"That, that means..." Estier finally thought of the key point under the inspiration of Sister Shera, "Is their stronghold in a place with special terrain?"

"10-15 moments...I'm afraid it is in a special place where only small boats can land," Joshua added, "for example, complex terrain with a large difference in height like mountains and canyons."

"But... in this case, it is likely to be in a place that cannot be reached by foot," Onasa said regretfully, "then we can only turn to the army for help..."

"Huh? In the end, we still have to rely on the army!?" Estelle pouted with dissatisfaction.

However, when they walked out of the regular ship again, what greeted them was an unexpected scene...

"Ah... It seems that even the effort of contacting is saved this time..."

Regularly outside the ship, a row of Royal Army soldiers holding weapons and guns stood, and in the center were their officers, dressed in green uniforms.

It seems that they were originally here to investigate the regular ship, but at this time, General Morgan and his subordinates regarded them as the mastermind of this incident and the criminals who tipped off the air pirates...

"...What a big joke," Onasa couldn't help but support her forehead. "Could it be that the army will arrest civilians at will based on their own prejudices without any investigation and verification?"

"...Hmph, the little girl is locked in the cell to see if you dare to speak hard. Come here! Arrest these three suspects!"

The cell at Harken Gate was cold and damp, and the four of us were locked in the outermost cell, and we were told that General Morgan would personally interrogate us the next morning.

"I can't bear it..." Estier sat on the ground with her knees hugged, tapping her tired knees after a day of running, "It would be great if we could catch the air pirates earlier, and our suspicions would be relieved."

"...I'm afraid it will be difficult," Onasa fiddled with the lock of the cell door, "Do you still remember what Jill once said, 'the news is wrong', 'it came too early', I am afraid they are referring to the army... ..."

"what!?"

"And this means...there may be spies in the Royal Army." Shirazade also sat next to Estier and sighed deeply, "If the teacher is here, how will he deal with such a situation... "

At this time, through the cell wall, there was a burst of youthful laughter...

"Have you encountered any trouble?"

"Eh... Joshua, are you talking?"

"No... I, I have nothing..."

"It seems that there is someone next door," Shirazade pressed his ear to the wall, "and...the voice seems familiar."

"It's disgusting, why are you alienating people like this, next time you say that, I won't listen to you. But when I heard such a mature and beautiful voice, I knew who it was."

As soon as these two sentences were spoken, the four of them immediately understood that the person locked in the cell next door was Olivier, a poet and performer from the Empire.

And the reason why this person was imprisoned was that he secretly drank "Gran Charrina" worth 50 Miras from the Anteros Restaurant - a classical wine known as the classic of fantasy...

When Olivier told the tragic story of being imprisoned in the cell, the night came quietly... and the four of them gradually became tired from this long and boring story.

"Hey——? Did you listen to me?"

The gate of Harken has been completely immersed in the night, and the crisp chirping of unknown insects in the grass can be heard.

Even the military fortress can't stop the invasion of darkness at this moment, and it is in a peaceful atmosphere.

Thanks to Olivier's story, Onasa also managed to take a nap for a while—but now she just woke up again. The cell next door was also silent, and it was difficult to see the appearance of the people around her in the dim environment. However, never Judging by the sound of steady breathing, they are probably sleeping.

But for Onasa, a peaceful night's sleep without being disturbed has become a luxury since I don't know when.

At this moment, all she could hear was the chirping of insects—night was a time of freedom for Onasa, allowing her to have time to quietly think about everything in her day, eliminate anxiety and doubts, and at the same time face up to her goals.

Not to become a qualified guerrilla.

Not being a great swordsman.

So... what is it?

Not sure.

Becoming a guerrilla is just the most suitable path in that state, and she really wants to have outstanding strength and level in swordsmanship.

However, what she wants most—perhaps is peace of mind.

One day I can no longer be shaken by the past, no longer have resentment...

Then the "that" in her body will also calm down by then.

Speaking of which... since when did I start meddling so much...

Why, when I see others lost or confused, I can't help but reach out.

In the darkness, I couldn't see the outline of my own hand.

Yeah... I'm not supposed to shine...

But for Rui, for Estelle... I'm still...

I want to encourage, comfort and support others as much as possible, what is the reason for it?

When will I be able to truly integrate into the "human" group...

Remember the rector once said... I am "kind"

"Kindness"... This is really too complicated and extravagant vocabulary, am I qualified to have it?

The countless random thoughts in her mind made Onasa's consciousness gradually blurred... The sky was about to welcome its first round of dawn, and she finally fell asleep before this round of light shone in.

In the early morning of the next day, they were released on bail by Mayor Maybelle. Together with Olivier, who was drinking wine, they returned to the mayor's mansion in Perth. At the same time, they also learned that General Morgan was retired by Cassius. Former Chief.

And in Perth, a lot of things happened overnight—there was a large-scale robbery incident in the south block, and there was a high probability that it was done by air pirates.

During the investigation, Estier and the others met Alan Richard, the colonel of the Royal Army's intelligence department.

There is also Captain Kenona, the assistant beside him—although one can feel her loyalty, one can also feel the arrogance in her.

During the investigation of the Perth robber incident in the South Block, they obtained an important piece of information: someone witnessed strange pedestrians walking on the street at night in Lake Valyria—a man and a woman.

So, everyone planned to go to Lake Valyria immediately to confirm the truth.

"Ah..." Estelle suddenly remembered something when she reached the street entrance, "Is Onasa with us?"

"Well... ah, that's right. Now that the investigation has reached this point, if we continue, we may get more information about the man in black. Besides, I also want to help you, Estelle, to the end."

"That's great~ I thought we were about to say goodbye..."

"……Eh?"

Hearing Estier's words, Onasa opened her blue eyes wide...

"Uh... did I, did I say something strange?"

"No... no, it's just..." Onasa lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised a little, "I didn't expect me to...you are really a special girl."

"???" Estelle was confused and pouted for no reason.

"Ahaha...it's nothing, so act quickly, before dusk."

The pearl of Libel - Lake Valyria, is worthy of being a tourist resort. If there is no mission, no matter who wants to enjoy some pleasant time here.

At dusk, the surface of the lake is shimmering, and the reflection of the afterglow of the setting sun is like a dancing golden elf, jumping mischievously with the peaceful ups and downs of the lake surface. Just gazing at this scene quietly is enough to relax people.

After getting information from Mr. Lloyd who was fishing, the brothers and sisters of the sky pirates will come here again tonight, and everyone plans to move around freely before nightfall to relieve the fatigue in the cell last night.

"Wow... so beautiful..." Estier, who had been looking at the lake, praised repeatedly, "I don't know if I can borrow a fishing rod here, I haven't fished for a long time..."

"As for fishing rods, you can rent them at the hotel, and you don't need to rent them."

"Really! That's great~ so... Onasa, what are you going to do?"

"Me...it's nothing special," Onasa straightened the wind-torn hair on her forehead, "I'm going to go back to my room to rest for a while, I'm tired these days..."

"It's a pity... I wanted to go fishing together..."

"There will be opportunities in the future, so the two of you can enjoy the rare date~"

"What... what date? Nope!"

"Just kidding, then, I'll take my leave first."

After parting with Estier and Joshua, Onasa returned to the room...

When passing by the first floor, she also saw the scene where Shirazade and Olivier had a drink meeting and fought fiercely—she had a hunch that Olivier would die very, very badly.

Putting down the rapier, she was finally able to relax her nerves after a few days. Onasa lay on the bed, looking at the clean ceiling, letting her thoughts wander freely.

If she guessed right—the sky pirates came here today to trade with those men in black, and if they were lucky, they might be able to get useful information.

And as soon as this incident is over, she will probably return to Agathe... Then, she will be temporarily separated from Estier and the others.

I don't know why, but I feel a little sad...

No, it's not like I won't be able to see you in the future, there are still many chances to see you...

Speaking of which... Last time, the village head of Leysen said that Agathe had always been "alone"...

Then how long has it been since I participated in many people's actions? In my impression... this seems to be the first time.

She has always been facing monsters and enemies alone, which made her swordsmanship advance by leaps and bounds, and she also won the title of B-rank, but perhaps as Mr. Cassius once commented on her - she lacked the ability to fight in groups.

Although one person can move freely, but... Onasa has to admit the softness in her heart at this moment.

In front of monsters—protect team members, cooperate with magic

Facing the severe situation——Thinking together and working together

In leisure time - teasing each other

All of this is something she has never had but has always longed for.

However, at any time, the loneliness in her heart cannot be dispatched—like a force that repels everything, even if she is in a group and experiences everything that is warm, she will drift away from the group unconsciously, That's probably how she feels.

Cold, aloof—there's never a good word to describe her character, is there?Even if the exterior is warm...

While thinking about it, a certain curling melody suddenly came to my ears, interrupting everything...

It was the music played by the harmonica, and Onasa had never heard it before... But such a sad but fast-paced melody, I am afraid that once you hear it, you will never forget it.

"Probably... Joshua..."

Onasa sat up and walked to the window. Through the glass, she could vaguely see the figure of the boy and girl on the trestle bridge...

At this moment, she is willing to pray to the Goddess of the Sky—hoping that after everything they have gone through, they can finally achieve happiness.
