[Kaius Valley]
"——I'm back! I'm back!"
Beili Sier rushed toward the valley.
Ever since he had resolved to help Acto, he had been wandering from place to place, trying to find new resource extraction sites.
It had been a long time since he last returned to the valley. For him, only here was "home."
As he neared the valley, he saw the Doomsday City army stationed at the entrance, and he relaxed a bit, which meant the valley hadn't been breached and was safe.
"Thank you for your hard work." Beili Sier nodded to the army.
"It's nothing, after all, it was the City Lord's order; he let us protect the valley continuously." The troops were very polite to him.
Beili Sier greeted them and then entered the valley.
Upon entering the valley, he smelled the familiar scent.
"I'm back ..."
"Little Beili is back ..."
...
Underneath the frigid frost, the black-haired girl stood at the edge of the world, her eyes as clear as the green of gemstones.
