Looking away, Soma narrowed her eyes.
What you see in your sight is a wilderness on one side, and you can't see a single figure.
It was something I knew, but I accidentally exhaled.
"Hmm... as I did hear, that doesn't seem particularly unusual. I don't even know if there are any strictly abnormalities beyond what I could have known in the first place."
"Well still, you're sure there's nothing crazy about it. So far, so much so."
"So, there is."
Nodding at Aina's words, who is similarly watching the wilderness beside her, now groans.
What is the matter now?
Looking over the scene, the wilderness is really the only place there.
There are no animals themselves before people, and I don't even see trees.
All there was was was soil and rock, just that it was spreading.
"For now... let's move on."
"Well, all I know so far is that I can't feel anything strange here."
"Well, if we don't get a little information on what the hell happened in Veritas, there's no point in coming all the way here."
With that said, the Somas take their feet a step forward.
It's not like there's anything specific there.
It's not like there's a line or anything on the ground that could be a landmark.
Nevertheless, it was a frontier.
A place to distinguish the Empire from Veritas - that is, the border.
Somas crossed the border now, and that was how Somas first entered Veritas.
"Well... I guess the first thing to look for is a village or something. You can look for a town that is somewhat bigger…"
"Well, why don't we just start with the village? I don't know how that light was over here...... how it looked and if it didn't have an impact, that's something easier to explore from a small place"
"I also feel susceptible to suspicion... but is the neighborhood up to the way it is done? Or maybe we don't get any information, but that's how we get information."
Whether you get any conclusive information, that's best, but it just doesn't work that well.
Or if it was a story that was so easy, the Somas wouldn't have come this far.
Somas and the others are here - to come to Veritas to find out whether it should be taken for granted or what happened in Veritas about two weeks ago now.
Two weeks ago, on that day, almost all those living in the Empire see the light rising from the direction of Veritas.
Soma and the others were just then discussing the future with Victoria and the others, so much so that everyone who was on the spot had a surprising look on their face at the events that were so abrupt.
But that's not the problem.
Sure, there was no one on the spot who could fully understand what that was... but the problem was that there was someone who could understand just a little bit.
While each of us was working out what had happened, Victoria was stubborn.
I don't know what that is... but perhaps the devil did something.
Victoria says she has never had the help of a demon, but she finds out something like that, partly because she made a deal with the demon.
And from the light that Victoria saw, I felt the power that seemed to belong to the devil, it seemed.
However, although the person said there was no certainty, it is likely that the demon who made the deal with Victoria was also wary of Veritas, etc.
In fact, I thought Soma would be most likely, and so did everyone else.
Furthermore, as information is gathered, its potential is increased.
Considering I did something by normal means, because it was a little too massive.
For whosoever saw the light rising from the direction of Veritas was all that was conscious at the time.
I don't seem to have seen anyone who was just asleep, but I still feel something, etc., is equivalent around the time testimony has been obtained.
Of course I didn't really hear from everyone, so maybe some of them didn't, but at least no exceptions existed to the extent that Victoria and the others looked into it.
Moreover, it is interesting to note that the impressions I received when I saw the light varied.
Some say they felt divine, while others say they felt afraid, and it turns out that that is not a simple phenomenon alone.
But at the same time, it became confusing because it was the only one.
I know something happened, but there wasn't anything particularly visible.
Those who watched near the border also saw the light, but could not confirm that anything more was happening on the Veritas side.
Whatever happened was reassuring in and of itself, but that's not the only way to do it.
The scale of what happened was too large to fit in to the extent of making border security even tighter.
It needs to be looked into more closely, and it is not something that I have found out what will happen with something that is semi-productive.
It was for that reason that Soma and the others… or that Soma assumed the responsibility.
Most importantly, although I said I assumed the responsibility, more than half of them also volunteered themselves.
I don't know what would have happened if this had happened in other countries, but Veritas borders not only the Empire, but also Radius.
If anything happened to Veritas, it could affect Radius, and we can't just not look into it.
Nevertheless, as mentioned earlier, it was Soma alone who was originally entrusted with that mandate.
Eina, in one way or another, followed me on her own, but...
"... what a jittery look at people's faces. I guess you're still complaining about me following you, huh?
"Well, there's something I'd like to say. We don't know what's going to happen, so it's safer to wait in the Empire."
"I don't know if it's safe. They did say they'd stick around, but they're not totally on our side, are they? You want me to wait alone in a place like that?
And that seemed to be the case.
I know you're just thinking too much, but it's also true that what you're saying makes sense.
And the point is, we just have to protect it where something happens.
Gito, I shrugged my shoulder back to Aina as she turned her eyes.
"I see. Well, that means that my senior should stay close to Eina, right?
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..."
"Hmm... I don't even think I needed to change if that's the case, though?
That said, Soma tilted her neck because the clothes Aina was wearing were not made-up clothes.
It is a familiar thing as usual, but it is even slightly uncomfortable because I have recently begun to be more familiar with made-up clothing.
But when I said that, I was set on a stronger gaze than earlier.
"Veritas, it would be strange if you were wearing servants' clothes when you said you were going...!
"No, isn't that what some of them are? Besides, at least I'm an eye-catcher."
"But Eye Bliss, that's why I'm telling you......!? Oh, and that's just not a good time to travel...!
"Hmm...... sure, if they say so, is that correct? Hmm, it really suited me, so unfortunately..."
"So that's...!
And it was when we were talking about that.
Reflectively, Soma turns her gaze to the left and narrows her eyes.
And just so you know, Aina seemed to realize that something happened as soon as she saw a soma like that.
When I squeezed my face tight, I had a sharp gaze.
"... Something wrong?
"It hasn't been decided yet... well, it's probably something that's going to make you feel ill asleep if you miss it"
There is one group of about five people and one person who is probably being chased by it.
Besides, the person you think is being chased is a child.
"Well, then we have to go and help."
If I told her what caught on to Soma's senses, Aina returned it that way, like it was nothing.
Once the Somas are here to explore Veritas, they shouldn't make a lot of noise, etc., but I'm just asking if they've found out about that.
There were no objections.
"That's right. It's just a little far away, so we're going to have to hurry."
"Shall we hurry then? I'll catch up with you later. You can go first, okay?
Eina, who said something earlier about not wanting to be alone in the Empire that is not necessarily safe, still tells her to do so as if it were nothing.
I don't even know if it's safe. I think it's pretty good here, but apparently you don't care.
So I loosened my mouth, because I thought it was very, very good.
So Soma snorts to keep up with Aina's expectations like that.
"Um, then they're coming"
And when he turned his gaze toward the direction of those who were still capturing the signs, he rushed out at full speed.
Looking away, Soma narrowed her eyes.
What you see in your sight is a wilderness on one side, and you can't see a single figure.
It was something I knew, but I accidentally exhaled.
"Hmm... as I did hear, that doesn't seem particularly unusual. I don't even know if there are any strictly abnormalities beyond what I could have known in the first place."
