The situation in the city center was somewhat better, but the people living in the shantytown where the refugees resided were in such a state that one couldn't help but wonder if they could endure the winter.
The Empire could not abandon them either.
As rations were being distributed, one could see the guards giving out something to the long line o...

Ellen could not stay long at the imperial palace.
She had to be redeployed immediately after completing her mission. This was due both to the situation of the empire and to Ellen's own will.

In the royal bedroom of Edina Castle.
I sat on the bed, watching Harriet dry her hair.

Most of these people had lost their families, and had escaped from the clutches of grotesque monsters whose mere appearance could inflict lifelong trauma.
Naturally, their mental states were far from stable.
They had fled for their lives, and while on the run, there was no time to dwell on such matters. But once they reached the Edina Archipe...

The day after conquering the Edina Archipelago.
I had expected that more than half of the nobles and soldiers would flee.
