Chapter 98

Instead of Goodbye
The days were getting shorter these days, and the sun sinks into the mountains at dusk. Even as the orange residue was swallowed up by the indigo, Sheila continued to swing her sword.
It helped that the training hall was dimly lit at night with the lights of the magic tool.
The sweat that dripped down her cheeks was exposed to the cold wind, and her body quickly cooled down. If Sheila didn’t finish soon, she would catch a cold and be late for dinner.
Even though she knew this, she couldn’t let go of her sword. Sheila swung her sword as if she were trying to clear away the distractions that flickered before her eyes.
She couldn’t help feeling new emotions that she rarely felt since she was in the village.
In Denan Village, farewells only happened once or twice a year. Since they had all reached the end of their natural lives, the adults would rather see them off with a big party.

Sheila swung her sword mindlessly. As her nerves sharpened more and more, she suddenly picked up the sound of two pairs of footsteps.
