Time in a collapsing world

It's really strange... He is obviously his father, but I am as guarded against him as a wolf...

Yaeli laughed to himself, and after giving instructions to his sisters, he left the house with three steps.

"elder sister……"

Yae Rin reached out from the quilt and grabbed Yae Sakura's arm uneasily.

Being sensitive, she also sensed the increasingly distant relationship between her brother and her father, which made her feel overwhelmed.

"It's okay, trust me brother, let's go to sleep."

The candles went out and the room fell into darkness again.

Yaeli stood in the shadow outside the house, waited for a long time, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he jumped on the roof, jumped on top of the houses in the village, and returned to the shrine as quickly as possible.

In the shrine warehouse, Yaeli found the robber brother who was placed here by him.

When the other party heard the sound of the warehouse door being opened, he subconsciously shrank in, but he was relieved when he saw it was Yae Ri.

"you can go now."

"Um... ah?"

The robber boy was stunned for a moment, "You don't need my help to lead the way?"

"No need, I already know the location of those monsters." Yaeli shook his head.

"..."

The robber boy hesitated for a moment and then said to Yaeli: "Then...does the money ticket you mentioned before still count?"

Yaeli was startled, "Originally, there wasn't any, but... after thinking about it, I've wasted you so much time, so I might as well forget it."

With that said, Yaeli walked out of the warehouse, came back a moment later, and handed the robber a few money notes, "Is this enough?"

"Enough is enough!"

The robber boy nodded quickly and bowed. He originally thought that he had wasted his time these days, but he didn't expect Yaeli to be so easy to talk to.

Obviously, I and my eldest brother had tried to rob him before...

What should I do? My conscience hurts a little.

"Then let's do it. You'll stay here tonight. When the patrols outside change shifts tomorrow morning, you can pretend to be a villager and sneak out of the village."

Yaeli gave his opinion, then closed the door and left.

"What a good person..."

The younger robber was so happy that he could not wait to return to his elder brother immediately and show him the money ticket Yaeli gave him.

He used to often say that he was not a robber. No, he has earned so much money through his own efforts~

With this thought in mind, the robber quietly opened the warehouse door, looked outside a few times, and then ducked out without forgetting to close the warehouse door.

However, just as he was about to leave, a huge claw suddenly stretched out from the darkness where the moonlight did not shine, grabbed his body and dragged him in.

Then there was the sound of chewing...

A figure appeared behind the wall of the warehouse, his gloomy eyes fixed on the house Yaeli entered, breathing heavily.

……

Early the next morning, Yaeli opened her eyes before the sun rose, looked up at the ceiling, and looked left and right at the empty places on both sides.

I'm still a little used to not being with Sakura and Rin at home...

Yae Ri stood up, stretched, and put on clothes casually. Thinking that in a few days, she would be able to take Yae Rin to the West to seek medical treatment, her steps became brisk.

It's just that this brisk pace stopped when he just went out, and was replaced by a frown.

There is a new smell of blood...

Yaeli sniffed the disgusting smell in the air and was convinced that something unreasonable happened in the shrine just last night.

"What are you waiting for?"

Just when Yaeli was thinking, Lord Yaeji came to him at some point and pointed to the main hall, "Why don't you go to the main hall quickly? Do you want Lord Fox God to wait?"

"..."

Yae Li looked at him, didn't say anything, just nodded and walked towards the main hall. During this period, he also looked back secretly and saw that Yae Li did not enter the sisters' room, but went directly to the back of the side hall. He just breathed a sigh of relief.

The sooner my father discovers that his sisters are not at the shrine, the better.

Entering the main hall, Yaeli closed the heavy door, and then came to the statue of the fox god. He knelt down and sat down. However, he did not raise his eyes to look at the face of the fox god statue, but paid more attention to the place on it. The spiritual sword in front.

It still exudes the fragrance of cherry blossoms, which calms Yaeli's impetuous mood a little.

There seems to be something different in the shrine...

I always feel like something is wrong.

Yaeli clicked his tongue, thinking that when he sent his sisters away last night, he was indeed not discovered and followed by anyone, so he tried his best to feel relieved.

There are only three days... no, four days, four days at most. When everything is done, I will take my sisters to the city in advance.

This shrine, this village... we can't stay here any longer.

This is his intuition.

That night, when Yae Ri sat on her knees in the main hall, they were in the house where Yae Sakura and Yae Rin lived.

"Rin, wait a little longer, the medicine will be cured soon."

Yae Sakura was squeezing the medicine with a small tool brought from the shrine, and chuckled at Yae Rin who was sitting on the bed.

"Um……"

Yae Rin nodded, her eyes kept on her sister's busy hands out of boredom.

However, from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a shadow suddenly flashing on the window paper at the door, very fast, but she was sure that she was not wrong!

"Sister! There is someone outside!"

Yae Rin nervously grabbed Yae Sakura's sleeve and shouted.

"?!"

Yae Sakura immediately put down her work, held Yae Rin's hand with one hand, and held the knife at her waist with the other hand, looking warily at the door.

After waiting for a long time, nothing abnormal happened.

Yae Sakura turned her attention to Yae Rin, who quickly said: "Sister, I'm not lying, there is really someone outside!"

"……I know."

Yae Sakura naturally knew that her sister would not lie, but she did not rule out the possibility of misunderstanding... But in this case, no matter what the possibility was, they had only one choice, and that was to stay here and wait. Brother is back.

If there were really malicious people outside... She didn't think she could escape safely with her sister.

She... doesn't have as much power as her brother.

Now she can only pray that the worst will not happen.

"Rin, go to sleep, don't be afraid, I will protect you if my brother is not here."

Yae Sakura gently stroked Yae Rin's head and comforted her softly.

"Uh-huh……"

Yae Rin knew that he could not cause trouble to his sister at this time, so he obediently suppressed the fear in his heart, and lay down gently with the support of Yae Sakura, with the quilt covering his head. He followed what Yae Rin had said before and took it as his own. It is the strongest protective shield in the world.
