Chapter 44p2 - Siren part 2
Emergency evacuation! Emergency evacuation! Citizens should evacuate immediately!
As soon as I arrived an alarm started blaring inside my head.
This. Isnt the announcer.
Wow, this place is noisy.
Bell yawned as I looked around, I was in fact standing in my own room at the Ecarlate estate.
What is this noise?
The emergency warning kept blaring inside my head like it was trying to give me a headache. Looking out the window the garden appeared to be deserted but the town wasnt visible from here.
I left the room and proceeded down the hallway, as I drew near the stairs I heard someone coming up.
Ah! Masamune?!
It was Brown.
Where were you! I was worried.
Brown, whats this noise, where is everybody?
His expression grew dark when I asked.
A monster horde has attacked the capital
Huh?
Thats the citizen evacuation warning. Sierra and Hilda have already arrived outside the wall with the other White knights. Toa and Nem took off with them as soon as they heard the alarm. Right now, the adventurers and knights are fighting together to push back the monsters.
My mind went blank, what the hell happened while I was gone?
The white knights all of them?
The details arent known by the public but that seems to be the case.
If Toa and Nem are on the battlefield right now then I need to know the details. Whats the situation like? I asked suddenly.
It doesnt appear to be good, S rank monsters have started appearing thats why the evacuation was sounded.
S rank.
That didnt seem to be the case when this started but apparently things took a turn for the worse.
Turn for the worse?
Apparently a number of monsters called a nootkerane showed up and some people died. Thats why the city is under evacuation.
Browns expression was growing darker.
Im sorry, my wife and the other residents but, as a cat warrior myself I wasnt able to stop those two.
I dashed out of the house as Brown struggled to get the words out.
Masamune!
I have to get to them, now, the precious friends Ive made.
*
The town that was usually bustling with people was so quiet Masamunes footsteps seemed to echo between the buildings.
Whats up with this place? Theres nobody here.
Bell seemed to be complaining about the lack of people.
Masamune looked around at the those left still packing up there homes as he passed by Sharons shop.
Youre not running away?
Sharon appeared shocked.
Sharon..
Whos this old lady?
Its unfortunate, Ive lived in this country for so long and I cant do anything for it.
Sharon stared of into the distance as she said this.
I heard some adventurers talking about the battle, we dont seem to be winning.
Thats not good Sharon! Sierra, Toa and even Nem is out there fighting right now!
Toa!? That Demon child!? And Nem too!!!?
It seemed that Sharon wasnt aware of that.
That child is so stupid!
Tears appeared in Sharons eyes.
Master lets leave this old lady here, the smell of the dead is strong here.
As Bell was talking I heard a cracking sound, it appeared like Sharons legs had gave out and she fell backwards onto her butt.
Th- that wand!
Masamune left quickly before she could continue.
Wait!
Sharon called after him.
Are you actually going out there!?
..
Stop! Youre just a healer! What could you possibly do?
Wha-! Master, what is that creature!? Isshe she a monster? Is she some sort of S ranked Grandma!? We should kill her now.
Im on a hurry.
Masamune continued on his way.
Im telling you to stop! Youre young! Dont throw your life away, theres more adventure to be had!
Masamune stopped walking.
Bell, its a little further to the gate.
Should we fly?
Fly?
Well Master can use God Speed but you dont have a method of flying.
There are S rank monsters there! Youre a healer even if you go youll just end up as food!
Theres still quite some distance to the gate, even if I used God SpeedId still have to weave through the buildings.
As he said that suddenly masamune felt his back itch and two red shadows burst through the robe.
Guh.
Wings of laziness, theyll get you there quickly.
W- ..who are you?
Masamune spread his wings and a flew up into the sky.
Im going to save those three.
This is the Era of the abyss!
Bell seemed excited as they flew off. Sharon stared after them as they disappeared, she watched as a black feather floated down. But when it touched the ground, it turned to ash.
