The uneasy question that no one had expected was answered at dusk, and the announcement was made door to door to the city center for a significant matter.
The person responsible for the announcement was a female messenger very familiar to the residents of Northern Yen City.
This time, the female messenger did not cover her face with a black veil but revealed her appearance instead. To everyone's surprise, that mysterious messenger, who seemed somewhat intimidating, turned out to be a young girl's image – to say she was in her blooming years would perhaps even be an overestimation.
She looked more like a child who had not yet reached the age of adulthood.
But as soon as she spoke, everyone remembered that voice; she was the one who, with a single dark lantern, had protected the city from the mouths of myriads of terrifying giant serpents.
