Birds chirp peacefully.
The blowing wind gently sweeps away the dust accumulated on the tombstone.
The fragrance wafting from somewhere is the scent of the flowers you loved.
The clear sky generously bestows sunlight.
It will be so forever.
Just like your great will.

A joyous event has come to the family.
The long-delayed wedding finally took place.
Cheers and applause.
Amid everyone's blessings, the bride and groom appeared.
The rumors were true.
The bride, whose condition worsened day by day, had regained her health.
Her wrinkled, shadowed skin was fresh as if reborn.
And—...
"Dares, what are you thinking?"
The groom gazed deeply at the bride's question.
In their exchanged glances, a smile gradually spread across the bride's lips.
As if she knew what he was thinking.
Moments later.
The bride and groom kissed.
It was a perfect wedding.

We are shadows that devour karma.
The self is poison.
Shun gold and blood.
The masters of the assassin guild Black Hand gathered.
The master who called the council, Black Snake, removed his mask, revealing his face.
"..."
Black Snake habitually stroked his face.
Then, recalling something, a small smile formed on his lips.
Soon, the meeting proceeded.
The council centered on Master Black Snake progressed smoothly to a conclusion.
Based on flawless rules and convictions.

Sahila, princess of Kehlin, the Dark Elves' city.
She thought.
These Elves are truly—
"Here, a token of friendship from us Ilratdein."
—beings quite different from the rumors.
Dark Elves and Elves.
Their meeting was held at the Dark Elves' outpost near Bondales.
The Kehlin expedition had set up the outpost for ongoing exchanges with Bondales.
The clash between the two races began thus.
Kehlin's outpost was adjacent to the new settlement claimed by Ilratdein.
This gathering was to discuss that issue.
Until just before it started, Sahila's worries were immense.
She knew how other races treated them, Dark Elves.
Especially since they were Elves, infamous for exclusivity.
But what was this.
Their attitude toward Dark Elves was exceedingly polite.
"So. Please answer the question I asked earlier."
The Elf representing Ilratdein spoke in a serious tone.
Sahila carefully organized her thoughts and answered the Elf's question.
The relationship between the two races could hinge on the answer.
"..."
The Elf looked at Sahila with his characteristic cold gaze upon hearing the answer.
The Elf slowly opened his mouth.
"Ah, as expected! That gray tower mage who spoke was Rishir!"
In that instant, the Elf's demeanor changed.
Ratsil, the Ilratdein overseer attending on behalf of the Elves, grinned broadly.
Moments later.
"Uwaaaah—"
The Dark Elves, tense from contact with Elves, felt their minds grow hazy from the endless chatter.
Sahila thought while watching that Elf.
She was truly glad she mustered the courage to venture outside the city.
