Compared to last night, the atmosphere around Reiger tonight, despite being equally lively, was utterly different.
Refugees huddled together, greedily devouring the roasted magic beast meat in a scene that might seem unseemly, yet there was at least a trace of homeliness.
Meanwhile, the knights gathered together to establish their encampment with an air akin to conducting official business, the entire process marked by extreme seriousness, making the atmosphere comparatively oppressive.
In such circumstances, Reiger didn't stay long in the encampment, exchanging a few words with Nipede before returning to his own tent.
Yuri and Marilyn made many preparations for Reiger's outing, and all the necessary tools were at the ready, so Reiger's carriage also had a tent, set up by Liz's hand.
Liz also pitched a tent for herself but, unlike Reiger who retired to his early, she found a corner to start practicing "Love Breathing."
