Time in a collapsing world

"breakfast?"

Yaeli choked, thinking of the head-sized rice ball again, and quickly left after realizing something was wrong.

"Let's go, let's go...Rin, please tell Sakura later that I've been here..."

"elder brother?"

Sakura's voice came from behind. Since the door was not closed, Yaeli turned around and saw Yaezakura looking at him curiously with a big cloth bag.

Well, it's too late.

"Brother, what did you just say?"

Yae Sakura changed her shoes and walked in. She was wearing a small miko costume and looked quite delicate and cute.

"Ahem... I just want Rin to tell you that I'm on my way." How could Yaeli tell the truth? If Sakura knew that she disliked her rice balls, she might become even more sad.

"Are you leaving so early?"

Yae Sakura exhaled a small breath in her heart. Fortunately, she got up early in the morning and started preparing breakfast. Otherwise, her brother would not be able to eat her love rice balls for several days after his departure.

"Brother, here are the rice balls I made. Can you take them to eat?"

Yae Sakura handed the cloth bag to Yae Li and took the medicine bowl from the latter's hand.

Yaeli touched the size of the cloth bag and estimated that there were at least five head-sized rice balls inside.

Well, you can eat six meals.

"...Sakura, is this too much?"

Yae Ri tried to bargain, but Yae Sakura shook her head stubbornly, "Brother, you have to spend at least five or six days on the road to go to the city. If you don't have food, you will be hungry."

"..."

No, I feel like your rice ball is enough for me to eat for a long time.

Yaeli doesn't have strong requirements for food. Even if he doesn't eat for three consecutive days, he doesn't feel hungry. Instead, he feels that eating too much is a waste of time.

Yae Li looked back at Yae Rin, who blinked and naturally guessed that her brother wanted her to help save the situation, so she smiled and said: "Brother, I'm a little hungry too, how about you share one of the rice balls made by my sister with me?" ?”

"Okay!"

Before Yae Sakura could say something awkwardly, Yae Ri quickly opened the cloth bag, took out an oversized rice ball inside, ran over and put it on the tray next to the bed.

"Brother, you will be hungry..."

Seeing that her brother had completely sealed the cloth bag, Yae Sakura couldn't say anything else, so she could only mutter softly.

"No, no... I brought other dry food."

Yaeli made an excuse. He also wanted to avoid wasting food. Even if he didn't want to eat it, he wouldn't throw away the food made by his sister. He might as well let Rin share the burden.

"Then I'm leaving. Is there anything you two want? I'll have a look in the city and I can bring you some gifts by the way~"

"Well……"

Both Yae Sakura and Yae Rin shook their heads after thinking. They had never been to the city, so naturally they didn't know what was inside, so they couldn't imagine what they could want.

"Okay, then I'll buy it depending on the situation..."

Yae Ri walked out of the house and left the shrine. Yae Sakura watched his back disappear before closing the door.

"Rin, I will go to the mountains to collect some herbs at noon today. You..."

"Don't worry, sister, just follow your own pace of life. I'll be fine. There are still father and others in the shrine~"

"Um……"

Seeing that his sister looked depressed, Yae Rin naturally guessed that the other party was affected by her sudden illness last night, so she tried to change the topic:

"By the way, sister, do you know what I was talking to my brother just now?"

"what?"

"Hehe... I dreamed about my brother's future marriage life~"

Yae Rin knew that her sister was particularly interested in this kind of topic, especially when her brother was involved.

Sure enough, Yae Sakura's body trembled and she looked up at her with burning eyes.

"Brother, he...is married?"

"Well, there are many brides~"

"……many?"

"Yes, there are many."

Yae Rin nodded, but when she felt that her sister suddenly became depressed for no apparent reason, and there was an inexplicable low pressure, she quickly added a detail that she had not told Yae Rin before:

"Although many brides in the dream had their faces covered by the mist, looking at their body shapes, I found that there seemed to be two who looked particularly like you, sister?"

Speaking of this, Yae Rin also felt a little weird, but he didn't think much about it. After all, it was just a dream.

"like me?"

Yae Sakura suddenly became happy again and said excitedly involuntarily: "Really?"

But after seeing the suspicious look in her sister's eyes, she quickly coughed and said, "Uh... I mean, brother is too bothersome."

"...Sister, were you very excited just now?"

"No."

"Really?"

"real."

"really?"

"Okay, Rin, it's just a dream. It may have nothing to do with reality, or even be completely opposite?"

"Well, sister, you and my brother said very similar things..."

……

On the road after leaving the village, Yaeli tied two knives around his waist and walked struttingly under the gaze of the surrounding villagers.

But not long after walking, he suddenly sneezed and touched his nose.

Strange, someone is talking about myself?

Shaking his head, Yaeli continued on his way.

There is only one main road from Yae Village to the city, which is winding. Although there are many small roads, which are closer, they require climbing mountains and even crossing the territory occupied by monsters.

Yaeli touched the two sabers at his waist and thought about it for a while but still didn't take the risk.

His main task now is to go to the city to find a doctor. The cure of Rin's illness needs to be the first priority. As for killing the monsters... next time, find a chance to see the valley that attracts the core energy of the monsters. look.

After walking on the road for two days and one night, he encountered no attacks from monsters or passers-by. He could only look at the scenery to relieve his boredom.

He ate half of the rice ball in the cloth bag, and his stomach told him that he could no longer eat it, so he sighed helplessly.

The next night, Yaeli took a break, built a bonfire, and stayed alone on the roadside.

rustle---!

There was a sound coming from the grass around me, as if it was being blown by the wind, or was something else moving?

Yaeli opened his eyes, which were closed to meditate, and squinted, but he could still see everything clearly in the darkness.

A pair of green eyes appeared in the grass that was half a man tall, and they met Yaeli's gaze, which was looking straight at him.

When the other party realized that he had been discovered, he stopped hiding and quickly pounced in Yae Li's direction, and at the same time let out a sharp howl.

"Ouch--Ouch!"

The howl became shrill the next moment, then became silent again.
