Kapitel 98: Side Chapter: Kuro

After leaving her master Valdel, Kuro went back to her village. The village Kuro was from was near the borders of the Reschbeauch kingdom, and a few miles away was a village from the neighboring kingdom Serbek.

When Kuro reached her village, she couldn't help but tear up when she saw the ruins of her once happy village. It would seem that the dead bodies of the villagers had disappeared, most probably taken or eaten by the animals or monsters in the vicinity.

Kuro already knew that this was inevitable. She knew that this was what she was going to see. Yet deep down in her heart she wanted it to be different. She wanted it all to be nothing more than a bad dream, a misunderstanding. She wanted to come back home and see her mother cook her favorite meal. She wanted to once again see her father coming back home from a hunt. She wanted to see the children playing around, dreaming of the future they will have.
