His name is Arthemis...

    A scene that was truly terrifying, a person who had a weak mentality would instantly vomit. The smell of burnt hair, such was the extremely pungent scent filling the air. The beautiful village left only ashes filled with memories that now only exist in each other's minds.

    The girls could not hold any more tears that had now spilled over the face, dripping onto the ground. Most of them couldn't hold on to their feet, their feet were limp and now they're sitting on the ground.

    “Shed all your sorrow, so that later you replace that sadness with the sidelines of memories from this village as a motivation to live. Their sacrifices should not be wasted, you should try to live the best life possible. I'm sure, if they can express their wishes, it won't be far from what I just said” saw them so sad before they can properly take care of the victims, Veroa could do nothing but say that.

    The girl that Veroa admired looked at her, she was currently standing up. What a tough woman, but her face did not escape from the unstoppable tears. Walking closer to Veroa, without asking for approval, he leaned his body against the chest of his field. That's when, there was sobs, his face was hidden in the chest of that field, it seemed like he was embarrassed for – people to see his pitiful face.

    A little surprised indeed, but Veroa did not forbid it. He somehow understood very well with his feelings, his hands gently stroking the girl's slender back as a form of empathy. He said nothing during those conditions, others were still busy lamenting grief. This moment lasted quite a long time, until it did not feel the sun would soon set.

    Since everything has become ashes, if not immediately carried out a proper burial process, the ashes will be carried away by the wind that somehow they took it away. So, without the girls realizing it, Veroa controlled the wind that enveloped the entire ash, in order to protect her from going anywhere during the girls' mourning.

    On that day, the girls fell asleep in grief on the ground not far from the ashes. The girl whom Veroa admired was the same, but she slept leaning against the chest of Veroa's field, her position remaining standing until nightfall, Veroa moving it, leaning on a nearby tree trunk. Finally, the ashes were taken care of after morning arrived.

    A new leaf has been opened by each of the girls, a deep sadness has been replaced with a passion to stay alive and live it as best as possible. The cheerful faces that were perfect for them became a second beautiful sight after nature. The handling of the ashes of the villagers was completed when the sun was overhead. At that time, then the stomach of some girls was heard asking for nutrition. Apparently, this morning no one had breakfast and decided to bury the ashes of the residents, Veroa himself helped them separate the ashes of each individual, the rest of them who took care of it.

    With the help of the night-ruling tiger, several horned rabbits, green-haired pigs, and moss deer were collected ready to be slaughtered and skinned. Indeed, Veroa itself can actually hunt some, but the problem after eating grilled meat is drinking water. In a wilderness like this, it was hard to find drinking water. But luckily, there was a clean well in the village that had become ashes. Utilizing that, the dining event in the forest this time feels more delicious.

    What he was waiting for was the girl he admired to introduce himself. His name turned out to be Yuyue Wulan who was actually not a native of the village, he was a traveller who for some time ago lived there. At that time, after he received help when injured, which at that time he was unconscious at a location not far from the village, a middle-aged woman took him to the village to be treated. After recovering, he did not decide to just leave, he stayed for some time there to return the favor for what the middle-aged woman had done. A bond of feeling is established, a feeling like a bond between a child and a mother ties the girl to a middle-aged woman who lives with her only son. Until, an unexpected incident took everything.

    At the time of the attack, he had fought back and tried to protect the middle-aged woman his helper. Alone, it was difficult to deal with dozens of goblins. Although he was an adventurer, it was impossible to overcome the incident alone, let alone the villagers no one had the ability to fight. He felt devastated when he knew he could do nothing, seeing his loved ones being harvested to death. Moreover, in confinement, watching the flames that began to devour the entire village, he could only hold tightly to the wooden cage with all his might.

    “Yuyue Wulan, a distinctive name derived from the Kingdom of Valkyrie. According to the news circulating, he said – people there are very unique. But, this girl named Yuyue there is nothing unique to be seen from her other than her beautiful face typical of – people Valkyrie and her attitude that amazes me” after hearing the name Yuyue Wulan, which is very beautiful, fragments of his memory connect to a knowledge related people – people Valkyrie. According to the description of the book, their faces are very distinctive, their eyes are sharp for men and thin lips for women are their hallmark. It applies also to this girl named Yuyue Wulan.

    Finally, the journey home began. The girls brought nothing, just the clothes they were wearing right now. Their mental and physical bodies are prepared. There was also one additional personnel, not a human, elf, or the other, but a beast that looked tame. This beast was certainly the tiger of the night, after Veroa invited him that night to come with him and become his pet. He who has a keen instinct and enough intelligence to make him think, understands that he cannot refuse the request of a very powerful being. Moreover, he has seen some of the abilities of Veroa who yesterday afternoon made his lower jaw almost dislodged.

    The journey no longer feels lonely. The girls talked a lot to warm the air that felt quite cold. A few hours on foot, no one complained and it was pretty good. It's just that, the bad news, the time it takes to get to the destination becomes many times longer. But, it was actually not that bad, because their current location had been halfway through.

    Together with the girls, Veroa walked side by side with the night ruling tiger and Yuyue Wulan on her left and right side headed in the opposite direction from the slowly leaving sun.

    “Arthemis isn't in hand for now, but this trip home brings better things. Although, there are heartbreaking events, keep memories in your heart and live life wholeheartedly”
