During mid-February, dawn broke at around seven thirty. There was still lots of snow, but people’s spirits were buoyed by the longer days, and that meant it was much more common to see kids running around and playing outside.

“It’s so cold still, but the kids are so energetic,” remarked Shiori.

“That they are. Certainly takes me back.”

The children were running around and shouting until a woman—presumably their mother—scolded them all for their behavior. The children replied brightly, but showed no signs of halting their play, and the woman was left with her shoulders slumped in defeat. Shiori and Alec couldn’t help but laugh at the sight, while Rurii, at the windowsill, trembled with a touch of envy.

Shiori continued to stare out the window, and Alec noticed a slight worry etched into her features. He assumed this was because a foreign guest was arriving to see her, and she’d never met the person before. From that point of view, it didn’t really make a difference whether the person was from her home or not.

Home, huh?

Shiori was—judging by her features, at least—Eastern in appearance. That said, whether she herself actually was Eastern was another matter entirely. In the past, Shiori had said that her home was so far as to be unreachable. The nations of the east were indeed far, but they were not that far. The Eastern merchant that was visiting apparently visited Storydia once or twice a year—it was a long trip, but you could still get there if you really wanted to.

Shiori also said that she “fell” into Storydia. She might not even be Eastern at all...

When Shiori’s own choice of words had been pointed out to her, she went pale and panicked.

She—a woman who knew what the world looked like from the throne of the gods themselves—had “fallen” into this place.

Was that what Shiori was afraid of? For it to be discovered that she was, in fact, not an Easterner? The thought of it felt trivial to Alec, and just as it crossed his mind, he heard the neighing of horses as a carriage stopped at the guild. He shook himself from his thoughts as excited voices whispered behind him.

There were two carriages in front of the guild. One bore no family crest, but nonetheless of exquisite design. The people within it, too, were clearly well-off. The other carriage was a wagon, larger and stocked with goods. The tarpaulin covering it all was decorated with a uniquely designed family crest—a large flower. Sitting in the coachman’s position was a man in a strange, loose coat.

The man raised his head for a moment and met Alec’s gaze. Under dark eyebrows were sharp, black eyes, and his thin lips were drawn together in such a way as to display a fierce determination. Compared to the people of Storydia, the man’s features were softer and flatter, but his black eyes, his black hair, and his piercing expression cast shadows that gave Alec the overall impression that the man knew how to handle himself.
