CHAPTER 7

What She Taught Me: Twilight Words

A bright red sunset lit up the western sky. Dusk came early in Orario, due to the high walls that bordered the city, and there was a long period of time after its shadows began to creep along the streets before the last vestiges of sunlight died out completely.

In happier times, adults would while away these hours drinking in taverns, while children would play on street corners. Nowadays, however, the specter of the Evils hung over the city, and the long twilight was spent only shivering behind bolted doors and shuttered windows.

Lyu walked these quiet streets without a word on her lips.

“.….…. ”

Even the mask could not fully conceal the fourteen-year-old elf’s natural beauty. The setting sun cast a ray across her face but failed to extinguish the shadow of doubt that lurked there. As she watched the sparse crowds, she thought to herself.

What exactly was her justice?

Eren’s words rang in her mind. Beneath the mask, she ground her teeth.

“It’s obvious…” she said, as though he were still there to hear her. “Our justice…the cause we all carry in our hearts…It’s…”

Her words reached no ears but her own. And still she failed to spit out a single answer. With just one question, the god had proved to her just how foolish she really was. A follower of Astrea, the goddess of justice, unable to even define the term. It was shameful. Idiotic.

“Leon! There you are.”

That voice was so bright it seemed to light up the darkening avenue. Lyu felt somebody bump her from behind, and a pair of arms wrapped around her.

“A-Ardee?!”

“Yep! Who once told Lord Ganesha that even though I always cling to people like a dog, I actually love cats, and he said, well, elephants are ele-fun? It’s me, Ardee!”

“Why do you always introduce yourself like that?” cried Lyu, still not over the shock of bumping her. “Don’t crash into me, it’s dangerous!”

“I’m sorry, Leon,” said Ardee apologetically. “I just saw you all alone, and I had to.”

Ardee scratched her cheek, still pressing her ample breasts into Lyu’s back. She shared that shapeliness with her sister, it seemed. Lyu’s face grew redder and redder, until Ardee at last had enough and released her.

“So, are you by yourself?” she asked.

“Yes,” Lyu replied. “I’m on patrol. We decided we should keep up appearances, so that the Evils don’t suspect anything.”

Ardee fell in line beside her, and the two started walking. Alize and Kaguya had passed on the details of the meeting two days prior, so Lyu knew about Finn’s plan. All the members of Astrea Familia were buzzing with energy thanks to this new course of action, but they were trying not to let it show.

“Oh, right,” said Ardee. “Yeah, I just got off work, too, myself! I’ve finally finished taking inventory of everything that we seized at the black market!” Then her eyes lit up. “Listen to this. You’ll never guess what we found! It’s the branches from—”

But just then, Ardee noticed the look on Lyu’s face.
