Book 5: Chapter 58
★ Port Town Zackerhafen ★
Lark was alone in the room. Neither Kook nor any of her other companions were there.
The room was dark as the windows were closed. The food and medicine were left untouched on the table by the bed.
「Why… Why did you do this, little brother…」
Lark recalled the boy whom she met at the Sixth Mine. The boy changed her way of thinking and her life.
「You know how important that is to me…」
The boy whom she thought she had to protect. That was the case when they were living in the mine, and that was still the case even after she obtained the skill.
When she became worried and searched for him in the Achenbach dukedom, a dragon suddenly appeared, and by defeating it, Lark’s feelings became firmer.
That she should protect her younger brother as the older sister.
