White fog is quite famous in this world; almost everyone knows what it means.
The beluga whales are here!
When fog blankets the plains, beluga whales appear, among the most infamous creatures in the game; encountering one means certain death.
However, as long as the fog is avoided, the damage caused by the beluga whale can be minimized.
There was a campaign to subdue them, which was more than ten years ago, and it was carried out under the guise of a major expedition.
The outcome is self-evident; the fact that the beluga whale is still alive speaks for itself.
That campaign ended in failure, and the losses were so heavy that people abandoned the idea of organizing another campaign.
Therefore, the beluga whale's fame is known to everyone.
"Shichen, will the village be alright?" Emilia knew how terrifying the white whale was, and she gripped Shichen's hand tightly, asking with concern.
Given the extent of the fog, Alam Village is definitely completely covered, and it's very likely that something bad will happen to the villagers.
Emilia was worried about the villagers, not only because they now supported her, but also because she was kind-hearted and feared something might happen to them.
"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen," Shi Chen said, squeezing her slender hand tightly.
"Hmm!" Emilia smiled with relief; she now had complete trust in Shichen.
"Toki, Rem wants to hold hands too..." Rem suddenly moved closer to Toki's other side and started to act cute.
It was obvious that she was a little jealous.
"You're carrying something," Shi Chen said with a smile.
Rem was carrying a large basket containing their lunch.
"It's okay, just let my sister help me carry it."
"What? Rem, is this how you treat your sister?" Ram looked at her younger sister in disbelief.
"Since you're so amazing, can you help me carry the basket?" Rem said, acting all cute towards Ram again.
"This has nothing to do with being powerful, does it?" Ram complained.
"Sister~ Can you help me out?"
"I... okay..." Ram couldn't resist her sister's coquettishness at all.
"Great! My sister is the best!" Rem happily handed the basket to Ram.
"..." Ram silently accepted it, then watched as his younger sister excitedly took Shichen's other hand.
My younger sister is all grown up now, so she's starting to side with outsiders.
"Lady Emilia, is everything alright?" Rem asked Emilia to confirm.
"No problem." Emilia smiled slightly and shook her head indifferently.
She truly didn't care about the time, holding a girl's hand on each side.
It's not just because there are no rules about that in this world, but also because she has never understood anything about love and doesn't know many things.
For example, the idea of one person for life, or being unfaithful.
"Thank you," Rem said sincerely to Emilia.
She used to be very resistant to Emilia, after all, her village was destroyed by the witch cult, and there was also her sister's horn.
Emilia is a witch.
But because Rotswald supported Emilia, she could only treat her as a servant, giving her a lukewarm response.
She knew it wasn't Emilia's fault, but she couldn't help but care, even after understanding her gentleness.
In fact, Emilia also kept her distance from her.
This was Emilia's way of dealing with people in the past; if someone treated her indifferently, she could only respond in the same way.
She was well aware of the inconveniences her appearance caused.
But she persisted and tried her best to live.
Heaven was kind to her, granting her the right time. She felt that all the suffering she had endured was a test for her.
When she met her destined time, she finally understood what happiness truly meant.
Rem and Emilia were in similar situations; both were reborn due to the timing of the time, and their attitudes towards life also changed.
The two are getting along better and better, and they want to take the initiative to get closer to each other.
"Big brothers, you're here!"
Upon arriving in Alam village, Petra, a lovely little girl, greeted them with a bright smile.
The little girl looked forward to the time every day, but unfortunately, it didn't come every day.
She had secretly made up her mind to become a maid in the mansion so that she could see the time every day.
Not only Petra, but the other children were also looking forward to their arrival.
After all, they wanted to hear Shichen tell stories.
As always, upon arriving at the flower field, Shichen sat down with Emilia and began telling them stories.
Next up is the story of the Earth Destroyer, who goes by the name of the third brother of the Horned Madman. The children are eagerly anticipating his story.
Shi Chen felt that the story of the Earth Destroyer was more popular with children, since he wasn't the only one; there was also a cousin who was a horn-breaking maniac.
The story of two giants of light is definitely more exciting than that of one.
Not only did the children love to listen, but Emilia and the others did too. Everyone sat around Shichen, listening to him tell stories in a soft voice.
If Shichen gets tired of talking, he will lean on Emilia or lie on her lap.
Of course, Rem will also help Emilia with her work.
Esther and Betty, however, did not listen to Shichen's story; they already knew the plot, having heard it from him long ago.
As the story progressed into the afternoon, when the ideas of the destroyer of the earth and the one who parted the sea clashed, the clock stopped.
"Okay, that's all for today. I'll tell you more next time."
"Hey—how could this happen? The story was just getting interesting..."
Can't you talk about it some more?
"No, big brother has something to do. I'll tell you again later." Shichen sat up from Emilia's lap and refused with a smile.
"All right......"
"See you next time, big brother~" Petra waved goodbye to Shichen.
"Okay, see you next time~" Shichen patted her little head and left with Emilia and the others.
As they left the village, Shichen stopped and set up a barrier around it.
"Time of day, what is this?"
"This is a barrier to drive away monsters, so the white whale won't come here."
"Are there still barriers like this?" Ram couldn't help but ask.
"Sister, Shichen is really amazing! He can do anything!" Rem proudly chimed in.
"..." Ram didn't want to talk anymore.
There was a time when it seemed like this was a privilege she enjoyed exclusively, a privilege bestowed upon her by her sister.
"Then the villagers are safe." Emilia was relieved.
“No, this barrier can only drive away magical beasts, not people. The villagers are not safe.” Shi Chen shook his head.
"People? What does it have to do with people?" Emilia looked at Shichen in confusion.
Shi Chen didn't answer her, but looked in one direction and said calmly, "Aren't you coming out yet?"
No sooner had the time been mentioned than, without warning, a figure silently appeared before them.
They were a group of complete strangers, dressed entirely in black, with even their faces hidden behind hoods.
The shadowy figures appeared one after another, their numbers quickly exceeding double digits, completely surrounding Shi Chen and the others.
"These people are...!" Ram's expression changed drastically in an instant.
"!" Rem was even more furious and ferocious.
“Shichen…” Emilia cautiously approached Shichen, scrutinizing the group.
Shi Chen's expression remained unchanged, while Esther and Betty looked utterly bored, almost yawning to show they were ignoring him.
The atmosphere among the shadowy figures was eerie, eerily quiet. They didn't utter a word, as if they weren't breathing, silently observing them, especially Emilia.
wow~
At that moment, Rem's flail appeared in her hand, the sound of the chains particularly jarring.
But the shadowy group remained unmoved.
"Rem, what's wrong?" Emilia noticed that Rem's emotions were not right, and her killing intent was obvious.
"Lady Emilia, please take good care of yourself," Rem said, suppressing her anger.
"Rem, you..."
“Emilia, don’t stop Rem now,” Tokichi interrupted, patting Emilia on the shoulder.
"Time, do you know why?"
"These people have a name: the Witch Cult."
"What? The Witch Cult!" Emilia exclaimed in shock.
“They are Rem’s enemies, how could Rem possibly stay calm?”
"So that's it."
"Rem," Shichen called out.
"Yes."
"Fight without restraint. Don't worry about what's behind you, don't worry about danger. Unleash the hatred in your heart. I'm here for you."
