Ch. 1: When the Town Changes Color
Kingdom of Forrant in the Land of Time, Month of Air...-
It was early afternoon, and the gentle rays of the sun tinged the vibrant autumn colors…
At Eins’ invitation, I had arrived at Forrant.
It’s quite busy…
I took in the bustling town as I walked and noticed posters plastered around.
What’s this?
I stopped and looked at the poster.
OO: "A sporting competition?"
Then...
??: "I was waiting for you OO!"
A cheerful voice called out behind me.
I turned around and saw Eins’ sparkling smile.
OO: "Eins?"
Eins: "Glad you made it! Hm? What are you looking at?"
Eins stared at the poster I was looking at and gave a smile as brilliant as the sun.
Eins: "Ah! The sporting competition!"
OO: "Yeah, I was just thinking it looked like fun."
Eins: "I'm sure it will be! It's our big event after all! It has swords, horses...it's basically an anything-goes festival!"
OO: "Festival... Are you participating too?"
Eins: "Me?"
Eins blinked at me a few times.
Did I ask something strange...?
Eins: "Guess I have no choice..."
OO: "Eh...?"
Eins: "I wasn't planning on it, but when you put it that way, how can I not!"
I was only asking...
Eins: "Alright! It's decided, so let's go!"
OO:" Ah! Eins...!?"
Eins: "The castle awaits!"
Eins held me by the shoulder and pointed to the castle.
Eins is so…
The path before us was dyed red by the setting sun.
