Chapter 4 – Brand New

The reddish brown earth stretched out endlessly. The dry wind carried nothing but dust and a few scraps of grass mixed in. Natalia and Shirou were collapsed together in the middle of the wilderness.

“......Why is this happening to us?.....”

“I don’t know....... I’m sorry.......”

Shirou’s words were dry as he replied to Natalia’s faint moan.

“I’m not, Mr. Ogami......” Natalia said bitterly before going quiet.

They had left New York and went west, just west. They had no set plan in continuing their journey, the silver wolf’s journey, to help beastmen. They jumped aboard departing trains, and secretly shared rides on the back of trucks. As they repeated this cycle over and over, the glittering urban scenery slowly became less and less spectacular, until they reached a place where even the green of the trees had been stripped away. It looked like the end of the world.

This brought them to now.

The only clue that they were still on Earth was a simple road made of cleared stones that stretched to the edge of the shimmering horizon. Neither of them were even sure which way was the right way to go anymore.

Additionally, Natalia was having a hard time regulating her body temperature. She could cope with cold weather by wearing heavy clothes, but not with hot weather at all. If she doesn’t at least drink water to cool herself down, she will quickly become dehydrated.

It was as if there was a soft blanket underneath her. The gentle rocking was so comfortable that Natalia wondered if she had died and been reborn as a baby somewhere else. She imagined that she was in a cradle where she didn’t have to worry about anything anymore.

“W-What…!?”

The moment Natalia recognized the reddish-brown earth and murky, dusty sky as it reflected in her unfocused eyes, her eyelids fluttered wide open in panic.

I’m not dead, and this is not a blanket. This is-

“Oh, you’re awake,” A clump of fur the color of the wilderness spoke.

As she became more and more conscious, she realized what it was.

“A bear beastman......?”

“Ah. How do you do, my exotic sister? My name is Gregono. As you can see, my animal nature is a grizzly bear.”

Natalia was being carried on Gregono’s shoulders, a grizzly bear beastman with an eye patch over one eye.

“Kaah,” squealed Kuro anxiously as he jumped on top of Natalia’s head, where he usually sits.

She began to jerk around to try to get him to let her down.
