The evacuated people are also waking up and are beginning to make a fuss.
Doson!
「Ah, Again!」
「What’s going on?」
The sound I don’t understand well is repeating again and again. What exactly is happening?
Sounds and vibrations seem to be coming from quite far. However, it is neither lightning nor an earthquake, so I really don’t know what it is.
A soldier broke through the evacuated people and was approaching me.
「Seiji-dono, Laila-sama needs you」
Did Laila’s men come to call me?
I moved to Laila´s room in a hurry.
—–
「Laila, I’m coming in」
What? When I entered the room…… Laila was crouching in the middle of the room.
「Laila…… what are you doing?」
When I call out again…….
「Se, Seiji!」
Laila finally noticed that I was here and rushed to hug me.
「Hey, Laila, what happened?」
「Seiji! No more! I’m scared! I want to return home」
Hmmm, it seems like she is acting like a child out of fear.
「Hey, Laila. Calm down」
However, Laila is swaying while hugging me.
「I can’t help it, but this late at night I need to call Elena」
The moment I stumbled so much. The shaking of Laila stopped.
「Why, Elena-sama?」
「Hmm? Because, here, there is a [Twin Magic Stone String Telephone] for the communication relay with each town. If Laila can’t move, they won’t be able to communicate with each other. It’s just Elena that can replace you, right?」
「Iya!」
I don’t even know what she dislikes.
「I’ll…… keep in touch!」
「I see, Laila is great」
I guess she hasn’t been able to get rid of her childish behavior. Even so, it is great that she tries to complete her work. I stroke Laila’s head.
「Then, I will go to check the true nature of that sound」
「Se, Seiji! Are you going?」
「Yes. I’m just looking at it. Well, you don’t need to worry, I’ll come back as soon as I see it」
I took off the arm of Laila who is holding me to start the action.
「Se, Seiji. Don’t go」
There is nothing to worry about. Indeed, Laila is afraid.
