The Passage Of Time
A month passed since the attack on Madelyn, and once the guests had left no new news from the embassy ever came. Left with no supply, Rin and I often visited the forest trying to hunt down something to eat, and thankfully, even Maiden who liked killing everything had left some amount of fauna for us to hunt.
Ophelia and her party were lagging behind at the hotel as well, although with every passing day, the Machina was getting weaker. Her body worked by consuming souls, and the scanty amount Madelyn had brought had already been stretched out long enough.
"How do you plan to keep her alive?" Making our way back with a handful of rabbits in her hands, Rin had me musing over the question. "Feed her animal souls? Who knows what that would do, I mean…just look at you."
