Pre-War Scouting

Darkness and light enveloped the entire world.

Rhode looked up at the sky engulfed in darkness in the near distance. Darkness and light were separated distinctively as though an invisible barrier had divided them. Even though they were only a barrier apart, the scenery was entirely different.

At that moment, he heard footsteps on the thick layer of snow. He turned around and saw Celestina approaching him grudgingly. She had put on a relatively lightweight costume, but was as luxurious as usual. Apart from that, a thick, plush cape also draped over her shoulders and hung behind her. She appeared a little pale and upon detecting Rhode's gaze, she glared fiercely. But Rhode shrugged and turned his gaze away as she looked as though she was putting up a deceptive show of strength. Celestina gritted her teeth and let out a sneer of disdain. Of course, Rhode acted like he didn't hear it.
