Chapter 268 - Food Storages

"Hey, do you know what that thing is?"

"The one that's been flying above us for a while now? Isn't that a bird?"

"I guess, it looks like a bird, but why is it flying around while pulling bags?"

"Who knows? There are creatures like that."

"I'm truly doubtful if that's a bird... I heard that a devil lives in Fontana, so I thought it was the devil's messenger or something..."

"Don't be silly, come on, let's get to work. If we keep on doing nothing, this'll never end."

　What the hell?

　Is he looking at the same thing I'm looking at?

　I thought I was hallucinating.

　The Memento family is attacking Fontana in the north.

　I was taken as a soldier from my native village.

　I spent many days walking north.

　And when we had gone far enough north, it appeared.

　It was a strange bird that was flying above us and circling around us.

　It looked strange, but what was even stranger was that there were others besides it who were also carrying large sack-like objects in the sky.

　Why were those big things flying right above us?

　I could not understand them at all.

　Everyone around me was just as confused as I was.

　That's right, we had never seen anything like that before in our lives.

　Well, I personally have never seen anything like that in my entire life.

　This was just eerie.

　I had a bad feeling about this.

"Wait a minute...!"

"Shut up. I told you before. They're just birds... Huh? Is that ice...?"

"...... It is ice, isn't it? Do birds around here shit ice or something?"

"No, that can't be right. It can't be. But that ice is going to fall down on us!"

"Oi? Seriously? The ice is coming down! It's going to crush us!"

　Damn.

　My bad premonition had come true.

　The birds were pulling sack-like objects behind them.

　The biggest pieces of ice I'd ever seen appeared on the underside of those bags.

What the fuck is this?

　It's not normal for ice that big to appear all of a sudden.

　I was wondering if it might be magic.

　I've been on the battlefield a few times before, and I've seen the terrifying spells that the knights use.

　Yet, I find it hard to believe that there is a spell with enough strength to create anything this massive.

　A block of ice floating in the sky.

　The size of that ice was unbelievable.

　I thought it might be taller than my house.

　If something like that fell down on any person, it would be terrible.

　We quickly realized this and ran, calling out to the people around us.

　We ran as fast as we could, trying to get away from the birds with bags.

　And right after that, the blocks of ice fell.

　Right where we were, right after we ran away.

"Hey, what the hell is this? What is this? Why did the ice fall and then get lit on fire?!!"

　It's crazy.

　I can't believe what I'm seeing.

　I must be hallucinating.

　Ice falling from the sky.

　The moment it hit the ground, it started to burst into flames.

　It was roaring and burning.

　It was ice that had fallen, right?

　No, it didn't matter.

　It just didn't matter.

"The fire's spreading. The wheat is on fire.... our rations are burning!"

"We need to put it out! Hurry up! Help!"

"Water! Where's the water? Is there a river?!"

"There's no river nearby. Shit, these flames are unwavering... there's no way we could put it out.

　What was burning was the food given for the army to eat.

　The location the flaming ice landed was where us Memento soldiers were storing our rations.

　Damn it.

　The flames are spreading.

　All of our food is going to burn down.

"Eh? Look! The other bags are moving!"

"So what? It doesn't matter. They set our food on fire. We're gonna get yelled at if we don't do something about this!"

"No, no, no! The bags. Those bags are being dragged, and it's moving somewhere else!"

"It doesn't matter. We need to put out the fire."

"I said they're on the move. Don't you know what's over there? There's food where those flying bags went, too!"

"... huh...? If that food also burns... we won't have anything left to eat!"

"That's what I've been saying all along, you idiot. The army's food is burning. Those bags are going around setting fire to our food."

"... What is this joke..."

　It's not a joke.

　Because right now, a new chunk of ice is being dropped from the sky.

　The next moment, as soon as the ice hit the ground, it burst into flames.

　The fire was going up with a loud noise.

　It was impossible to put it out.

　We couldn't even get close to the storage we were in charge of because the flames were so intense.

Thus, the Memento Army's food storages were set ablaze.

　About half of the numerous storages were thoroughly burned.

　Losing our rations in an instant while marching towards Fontana.

　'It is the devil's work.'

　I don't know who said those words first, but all I could do was nod my head in dismay as I heard them.
