The Familiar Stranger

Rhode had always thought that there would be no one here because all the way here, there were no signs of battle at all. That was why he was sure that no one had walked that path before. However, it seemed now that his judgement had been overturned since right now, there were two people before him.

"Leader? What happened?"

While Rhode was surprised, Anne walked toward him while carrying the shield behind her. Although usually she always looked sleepy and careless, she had sensitive reactions in battle. When she saw Rhode stop walking, she could immediately see that there was some trouble ahead. That was why she quickly prepared for battle. When Anne saw the scene before her, she was also very surprised.
