The morning sun bathed the land in a gentle glow, casting long shadows over the open road. The cool breeze brushed against Hazuki's face, carrying the scent of fresh grass and morning dew.
For once—he felt refreshed.
With his hands behind his head, he walked leisurely along the path, humming a light tune.
"Yep… this is nice."
The road ahead stretched endlessly, winding through rolling hills and scattered trees. The sky was clear, the birds were singing, and best of all—
Nobody was chasing him.
"Let's hope I find a place today. A town or something…"
He yawned, stretching his arms.
"Would be nice to sleep in a real bed instead of… well, the damn dirt."
Still—there was no rush.
For once, Hazuki actually enjoyed the journey. The way the sunlight danced across the landscape, the distant mountains standing tall like silent guardians—this world, for all its bullshit, was kinda nice.
He smirked.
Then—a small thought crept into his mind.
