...
The sky was crying in this cold night, in the ruins of an unknown city. A boy who was sitting limp hugged a little girl who was younger than him, bad little girl was lifeless.
If rain is a form of sadness, then lightning is a form of anger. The boy felt very sad and angry.
"K-k-why?"
The rain fell so heavily upon them both, the cold of the night wind and the fiery rain and the thunder did not make the boy make himself go from there.
She faithfully smothers the body of the little girl who is the younger sister and the only family she has.
"V-vio ...!"
The pieces of memory infiltrated his head. Memories of togetherness with his sister, likes and sorrows have been passed alone.
Starting at this time, the boy would live a life of his own. No more sweet smile of his sister, no more scorn of his sister .. everything will not be like before.
"You're just sleeping, right? Come awake! Brother will buy you your favorite food!"
The boy still thought his sister was fast asleep. A calm face full of peace accompanied by a smile that was still etched, anyone who saw it must have thought that the girl was pretending to be asleep.
"Hey, are you all right?"
Suddenly came a person with a breath that was wheezing because it had put all his energy to be able to reach where the two children were.
"What's okay? You've failed, Hero! You can't save this girl!" The child turned around and looked at the newcomer with very flat eyes, no emotion emanated.
...
"Dreams, huh?"
Kiya slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a strand of black hair and a pair of breasts wrapped in clothes. Don't forget the blue sky with two suns.
"Viola?"
In his present position and sensation behind the head. Well ... one of those cliche scenes. Regular thigh pads.
Kiya quickly got up. Viola was surprised because Kiya woke up suddenly without giving a code.
"K-kiya, are you okay?" Viola said looking worried.
Kiya did not answer him and chose to focus on looking around. His place should have changed, and that was the truth. He's on top of the wall of Xely's town when he was in the woods before.
Several pieces of footage of the last incident began to be replayed.
"I'm taking out the enemy army? Destructionist attack?"
The biggest question ... Why did Kiya pass out and end up with Viola?
Kiya starts walking to the edge of the wall that leads to the city to make sure of something. Viola followed him from behind as he was still anxious about his condition.
"System, can you explain what happened? My memory is still running away!"
[The royal side used weapons of destruction to destroy half of Xely city, Master]
"And why did I faint?"
[Unknown]
"Who brought me here? This chick?"
[Unknown. But, it's possible that it's a pet bird, sir]
In accordance with the information provided by the system, the city of Xely was partially destroyed which had been razed to the ground. The sturdy walls that protected the city left a semi-circular shape. The state of Xely is very concerning.
"Hmm .. It seems so!" Kiya looked closely at the Viola, and there was no whereabouts of the bird. The ring Viola was wearing was also non-existent.
"mrs ... K-kiya, is there anything strange?" Viola looked embarrassed as Kiya looked at herself with a strange look.
"Maybe ...!?"
The ambiguous answer. Viola said confusedly, "Huh ...?"
"How many fatalities?"
[8 thousand more people died, sir]
The victims came only from people who were ready to fight. Children and the elderly have been evacuated to shelters that have been built underground and are located outside the city.
"8 thousand people died in vain!" Kiya smiled, not because something was funny. The reason is unknown.
"K-kiya ...!" Call Viola a little hesitant.
"Hm ..." Respond without looking.
"You're okay, right?"
"Nothing has changed from me ...!"
"That-that's it, huh?" Viola seemed dissatisfied with the answer.
The Rentweder government is no joke, they bring the best weaponry.
Weapons of mass destruction or from someone's attack?
"Viola, what or who caused all this?" Kiya asked in a flat tone.
"Tell me what you know!?"
"As the name implies, the weapon uses Mana as its ammunition! The way it works is very simple, it only holds Mana, and it is fired like a Mana bullet technique!?" Bright Viola.
"Calling it Where is the bullet less precise, where should the laser be!?"
[If you protest directly, sir! No need to speak in your heart!]
"Shut up!"
"It doesn't make any sense! Can't imagine how much Mana it would take to make this kind of damage!"
"Well .. I don't know either. According to rumors the weapon is still in the development stage!" The awkward Viola scratched his cheek.
[If in my opinion. The weapon absorbs the Mana of nature, sir. It must have taken a long time. For Mana container .. possible from Monster core]
"That means, they need some S rank core monsters! It's so great to have such an expensive thing!?"
[Master forgot? Your opponent is one kingdom, money is a small thing!]
"System, briefly ... Why do we have to be up here? It's a vulnerable place, is this chick stupid!"
[Don't ask me, sir!]
"Viola, how are things?" Ask Kiya suddenly.
Viola who was unfocused because he was thinking about something became jolted.
"Eh? Ahh .. sorry, they're in a safe place!"
"Is this how he's on our side?"
[Uncertain, sir]
...
Refugee.
Kiya walks with Viola to the refugee camp. At the entrance appeared people who were ready to fight gathered him outside, seemingly to stand guard.
Everyone was shocked to see the two newcomers.
"K-kiya?" Celia looked very surprised. With a reflex he ran up to her.
"Yes ... Kiya ... s-s-s-semu-anya ..." Celia instantly knocked down her body—hugged Kiya while teary-eyed.
"You don't have to tell me, I already know!" Kiya said a little coldly trying to keep Celia away.
Celia looked surprised.
Just like Celia's condition, there was no more spirit within them. Everything was like it had already accepted their fate—death.
The death of friends and family was enough to make them give up.
"Is it up to this? Well ... it does not need to be forced, their mentality has been destroyed. But ..."
"Viola, which side are you on?"
The sudden question shocked everyone, it did not occur to their minds that Kiya was going to ask him.
"A-a-I don't know!?"
"The same answer! But, it doesn't matter."
Without even explaining it they already know the meaning of Kiya ... Kiya still intends to go to war with the royal side.
Silence approached until a large bird suddenly descended from the sky and changed its shape to small to perch on Viola's shoulder.
"Vian, how?" Viola asked expectantly for some good news.
The alerion bird seemed not eager to answer him. But, Vian still said the information he got.
"You are given only 2 choices. Empty the city, or go on to war!"
"What does it mean to empty the city?" Viola's forehead shriveled because he didn't understand.
"They will flatten the city Xely. All its inhabitants will be expelled from the kingdom. But, if you're too fit to put up a fight. .. be ready to be slaughtered!" Vian said in a very serious tone.
The faces of everyone turned dark instantly. Whatever choices they make, they are all detrimental. But, the choice of being expelled and no longer considered as a resident of the kingdom, is better than dying in vain.
"You only have until sunset!" Vian.
"Why is it like that ...? That's so cruel!" Viola seemed to be in disbelief with the two choices given by the Rentweder kingdom.
"Huh ... So, what will I choose? Fight to the end for them, people I just met or left this war? I really have no obligation to solve this problem. Most importantly I have harvested quite a lot of points .. but .. this silly feeling."
Kiya's hands clenched firmly, she fulfilled a determination, more precisely ambition.
"System .. use all the points needed to win this war! Let's just slay them! I'm tired of this!"
[As desired, Sir]
