"It seems she is really tired. She has been worried and frightened these days."
Standing in front of the bed, Coris whispered to Loran Hill, and then the two of them slowly retreated and came to an open space outside the house, where there were white tables and chairs.
Chris picked up the white chocolate teapot, poured out the orange fruity liquid, gave each of them a cup, and then they sat at the table and started talking.
...
"The True Crimson Empire is no more. Lord Atatis was killed by the orcs' holy shamans." There was a hint of sadness in Coris' words, and then she talked about the respected Witch of Fertility.
She always liked to sit under the grape vines, holding green branches and red berries, and handing the fruits to the children.
[The sweat of farming will bear fruit]
The sheaf of wheat ears in the hand is the proof of the friendship between man and the earth.

"Otherwise, those senior witches wouldn't have died so easily on the battlefield."
...
"Okay, that's all for today. I have to go." Coris picked up the cup and drank it all, then stood up.
"I still have to help the remaining people of the empire escape their predicament. They are said to be retreating to several islands in the Endless Sea. There are mermaids led by Lady Phoebe in the sea. They should be able to help us, so there is no need to worry too much."
"That's it then. See you next time, Lagetis. Remember to prepare some toffee for me~"
"It must contain the sweetest poison." She waved her hand and her back disappeared at the end of the path.
For some reason, Loran Hill felt a tightening and sadness in his heart.
