“Where have you been.”
Around the time morning transitioned to noon, that was the question I asked the Heavenly Demon, who appeared late.
“Strolling.”
I furrowed my lips at the simple answer.
“You strolled for the entire day?”
“Yeah.”
“What, how far did you go.”
“Nearby.”
“Your answers are really something.”
It would be better if she just said she didn’t want to answer.
A sigh almost escaped naturally, but I barely held it back.
‘Anyway, it doesn’t matter to me.’
Whether this one went somewhere, or even completely disappeared, it had nothing to do with me.
Yeah, it would actually be better if she disappeared, so it was strange to bother caring about it.

‘Hm….’
I was determining it was noon by looking at the sun’s position. But something felt off.
‘The time feels strange.’
By my sense, noon should have passed long ago, and the sun should already be setting, but in reality, the sun was still bright and clear.

I wondered if it just felt like it was flowing slowly, but somehow, that didn’t seem to be it.
‘The day is different from the Central Plains.’
That seemed like the right way to see it.
If so, how could that be…. To begin with.

From the situations happening to me right now, everything was already messed up to dig into one by one.
-Hap!
-Hap hap!
The shouts that had been echoing since morning were still there.
Even after this much time had passed, it meant their enthusiasm hadn’t died down.
I glanced at that while continuing to walk.
‘Martial artists, huh.’
Those gripping wooden swords…
