Time in a collapsing world

Along the way, Yaeli was thinking about his sister's illness. Seeing his entangled look, the Valkyries stopped disturbing him and marched in silence.

Finally, the city gate arrived, and together with the Valkyries, Yaeli walked in absentmindedly.

During this period, the residents who came and went paid attention to them, not because of their completely different appearance from the locals, but because of the identities of these Valkyries.

This team has been in the city for a long time, so the residents in the city are also very familiar with them. They know that they come from the other side of the ocean and often go out of the city to help them deal with the nearby monsters.

Yaeli hadn't seen these Valkyries during his previous visits to the city, perhaps because of this reason.

"Hey, are those women Westerners?"

"Yes, coming from the other side of the sea on a big ship."

"Oh~ Then what did they come here for?"

"It's an old tradition. We select some little girls from our side and train them as girls... Valkyries? Well, they are just like them."

"Will those children become as powerful as them in the future?"

"Hey... come on, to put it bluntly, they are more powerful soldiers, fighting on the front line with the monsters. Whether they can survive depends on luck."

"Ah? Forget it, I originally wanted my daughter to come over and give it a try..."

The comments of the surrounding residents fell into Yaeli's ears word for word, and he roughly understood some basic information.

Recruiting troops? No wonder it takes a while...

But why choose from girls?

Can't boys?

Also, he is a boy, why does Angeline want to take him away... Oh, maybe in the eyes of those big sisters, she is more like a girl than a boy, right?

Yaeli thought helplessly, completely coming back to his senses from the entangled state.

He has no idea of ​​bringing Yae Rin there for the time being. After all, the problem of illness may not necessarily be solved only by going to the continent over there. Here in Shinano... Well, I hope the remaining doctors can do more.

If you really can't do it, think about it again. At worst, wait until Shi's illness is cured and then sneak back?

"Well, next time we meet, I hope we can meet again." Angelin finally touched Yaeli's head. The Valkyrie girls behind also came to touch her boldly, but Yaeli reluctantly accepted it.

Separating from the Valkyrie team, Yaeli walked toward the south of the city. He remembered that there were still a few doctors there that he had not visited.

The target location of the Valkyries is the city lord's mansion located in the center of the city. As guests from across the ocean, the city lord naturally treats them as distinguished guests.

"Captain, that kid is gone..."

A Valkyrie in the team looked at Yae Ri's leaving figure with some reluctance, "Do you think he will agree to go with us in the future?"

"Look how important his sister is in his heart..."

Angeline replied, and then asked everyone to leave, "Let's go and say hello to the city lord. Our people have suffered losses, and it is unreasonable not to get some compensation."

"Yes!"

……

In the south of the city, Yaeli looked at the sign of the medical clinic at the door, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Dong Dong Dong————!

After waiting for two minutes, no one responded, so Yaeli knocked again, but the movement not only failed to attract the attention of the owner inside, but attracted a neighbor over.

"Hey, little sister, stop knocking, the owner of this house has already gone out!"

The window next door opened, and the head of a balding middle-aged man poked out. Seeing Yaeli's delicate appearance, his eyes lit up, thinking that it would be great if his daughter could be so beautiful.

"out?"

Yaeli frowned, but quickly let go, turned to the middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle, where has he gone?"

"Who knows, there were still people inside the day before yesterday, but no one has been seen since eight or nine o'clock yesterday morning."

The middle-aged man recalled, "But I remember that many doctors from other medical clinics in this city came to visit the night before yesterday. They may have gone out to collect medicine."

"Collecting medicine?"

"Yes, there are specially cultivated medicinal fields near this city. Doctors usually go there to collect medicines when they are short of medicinal materials."

"Well……"

Yaeli thought about it, "Then why do we need everyone to go together? Can't we just go and pick it alone?"

"You little girl, don't you know? Although that medicine field is rich in medicinal materials, for some reason, monsters have suddenly appeared nearby recently, and they can eat people... These weak doctors met alone How is it possible to outrun them? If you are caught alone, you will definitely die, but if you go in a group...ahem."

The middle-aged man stopped talking, as if he was afraid that talking too much would pollute the heart of the cute child in front of him.

But Yaeli has a clear mind. When encountering monsters, all he needs to do is run faster than his teammates... He understands this truth.

"Then if it's dangerous, why don't those doctors hire someone to go there?"

"..."

The middle-aged man glanced at him, said nothing, sighed heavily, and just stretched out two fingers to rub them.

Okay, money matters.

Yaeli realized that as the eldest son of the largest clan in Yae Village, he had always had enough food and clothing, so he naturally forgot about this.

Then he asked the middle-aged man for the location of the medicine field and thanked him. Yaeli left the medical clinic and looked for the residences of several other doctors in the south of the city, but found nothing.

The news came from neighbors that these doctors were likely to go out in a group.

A bit unlucky.

Yaeli walked out of an alley, and behind him lay several hooligans who were constantly wailing.

They had never seen such a good-looking person as Yaeli, so they had evil intentions and followed him quietly. Naturally, Yaeli led him to the alley and gave him a severe beating.

This situation had happened several times before when Yaeli came over, leaving him quite speechless.

This is a society that values ​​appearance. How do these guys know that there is a real boy hidden under his good-looking appearance?

Yaeli sat on the street corner, nibbling a big rice ball with love from her dear sister. Her mouth moved mechanically, but her thoughts drifted far away.

The doctors in the south of the city all went out in groups. If they didn't come back for a day, something might have happened. Maybe they encountered a group of monsters and were blocked somewhere and dared not come out, or they were eaten directly...

Yaeli hoped it was the former, otherwise who would he find to treat Rin if all the doctors were dead?

Is it really possible to take her and follow those Valkyries to that unfamiliar place outside the ocean?

Although it is not unacceptable,... it would be best if Rin's illness could be cured in Shinano itself.
