[Having learned the lesson of his last hurry, Merlin summoned a carriage and raced north.] ]

[At night, in the early hours of the morning, the people who were in a hurry finally arrived at the Warcraft front in the northern realm. ]

[At this point, there were four hours left before dawn.] ]

[Matthew went to sleep first, ready to recharge his batteries for tomorrow’s battle.] ]

[Quetzalcoatl went to check on the soldiers’ condition and cheer them on.] ]

[Ishtar had given up sleeping since she knew that she would be occupied by Ereshkigal at night, and she was going to see where the leopard man had gone to prevent the off-line guy from running in the wrong direction.] ]

[The girl walked on the wall of the Warcraft Front with Fufu, who was about to fall asleep, quietly looking at the Gobi steppe outside the wall. ]

[The traces of potholes still have undried blood…]

[“Leonidas … Ushi Wakamaru…”]

[Once, here, two heroic spirits stayed here permanently after her break… Never came back…”

[Again, here a heroic spirit “escaped,” said goodbye to her, and left alone.] ]

[She believed, however, that the spirit would return, and she couldn’t forget the man’s gaze to the north as he left.] ]

[“Good evening, Anna, no rest?” The girl turned her head to look behind her, and the little purple goddess had already arrived behind her. ]

[“Hmm… Can’t sleep. Anna walked to the walls and looked at the cedar forest to the north, as if she could see something. ]

[“On the contrary, it is Tachika, does it matter if you don’t go to sleep?”] ]

[“I plan not to sleep until dawn.”] ]

[“This way… I can understand your feelings. For example, when you are panicking, you want to take a walk, for example, yesterday we were in Uruk…”

[Anna was depressed, and the scene of what happened in Uruk flashed through her mind, she hadn’t been so happy in a long time.] ]

[But that behemoth in the north seems to be constantly reminding her, reminding her of her sins…]

[Sister…]

[“It’s humiliating to not be able to sleep and not be able to concentrate.”) ]

[“Is this humiliating? After all, a lot has happened before. “]

[“…… That’s right. A lot has indeed happened… I’ve always carried out my original intention of being a combat power, so I haven’t been able to join everyone’s circle…”

[The girl smiled and waited quietly, and Anna’s tangled expression was also cute.] ]

[After a long time, Anna finally spoke: “… That one…… Thank you so much. “]

[“……”]

[“Hehe, I think this aspect is Tachika’s greatest strength, you have never asked me anything from meeting in the forest until now. It is very suspicious that you do not say a word about trusting such suspicious followers. “]

[“Anna.” ]

[“Huh?” ]

[“Have you had fun in Uruk?”] ]

[“This………… No, nothing to be happy with, I hate humans in the first place… Human beings are very intelligent creatures, not obsessed with one means like animals, but constantly seeking numerous ‘possibilities’. You are ‘creatures who will choose better beings’. So, human cities are naturally full of change. But…… What happens when something new comes along, something that is no longer ‘better existing’? “]

[“It’s good to just be forgotten, even if it’s not used, it’s good as an ‘ordinary existence.’] However, humans will reject them as ‘bad things’. Just because if you keep these things, you won’t bring benefits to ‘new things’. “]

[Anna kept talking about why she hated humans, and the girl just listened quietly, without any argument.] ]

[In the face of the little girl’s complaints, there are few human audiences who have not been unable to get along with her.] ]

[Because, this little girl’s heart has long been exposed…]

[She mentions the story of the flower shop grandmother, the grandmother who kept watch over the withered flowers in her home when there was no sunlight.] ]

[At first, she would only help the old man because of her work, but the old man was so happy that he told her a lot of things.] ]

[Obviously his eyes are no longer visible, but he is still so calm, even if he is lonely, he will never mention it.] ]

[The old man treats her like his granddaughter and invites Anna to eat butter cake with her. ]

[“What else to say, it’s delicious…”] She obviously couldn’t tell the smell anymore. Anna’s little face looked so worried, looking very sad. ]

[“It must be because it’s really delicious.”) The girl showed a gentle smile and took out a garland from her body, “This is for you.” “]

[“Floral ornaments … Is it for me? Anna looked closely and seemed to recognize something, “This is—that flower shop’s… Did the old woman give it to me? “]

[“She said you will be the most beautiful girl in town in the future.”) ]

[Anna took the garland from the girl’s hand and stroked it gently.] ]

[“I hate humans, but they’re still warm…”]

[“The city of Uruk was my dream, I wanted to be treated gently by humans, I wanted to be gentle with others, I always wanted this…”]

[“…… In the past, I thought it would be nice if I could do this…”

[“…… I’m not going to grow like this…”

[“This is me who became an adult…”] Growing up, I… A dream that can no longer be recalled. “]

[A hint of sadness flashed in Anna’s eyes, and she handed the garland in her hand to the girl. ]

[“…… Thank you for the floral ornaments, but I can’t take them. Take it, I’m not qualified to wear this. “]

[The distressed girl seemed to be on the verge of crying: “… Because the grandson of that old woman … Killed by Warcraft in the north wall. “]

[The identity of the little goddess has long been clear, she is the infant of the northern goddess.] ]

[That gentle child has become so cruel, venting her pain, her hatred, the Avenger to the world…]

[Myself… Not eligible to accept this gift at all… That tenderness…”

[“Anna…”]

[“It’s not too early,” Anna put on her hood and covered herself again, “… Set out at dawn to fight against Gorgon. That’s what I’m here for. “]

[This is…] The minimum atonement I can make…]

“……”

Chaldean, the girl watched all this wordlessly… Last time, it was also at night… That person’s name is Ushiwakamaru…

She never came back after that…

“Anna…”
