Then they arrived at the village on the outskirts of the third kingdom. The village had only a few residents living there, and they worked as wheat farmers according to the soil and the weather.
"Finally arrived at this village," Nero looked to see if there were any inns nearby. "Hehehe.. the name of this village is the edge village..." Katanci folded her arms across her chest while looking at the people. Lyra asked before entering the village, "why is the village called the edge village?".
Then Katanci replied casually, "In the past this village was next to the fourth kingdom, but this village was expelled from the fourth kingdom and moved to the territory of the third kingdom, the reason is still unknown and a mystery!" Katanci swung her arms like a dancing octopus.
Lyra can't enter because she is recognized by many people if she changes Rira she will be affected because she looks like Lyra. Nero suggests wearing Neko's mask and cloak. Nero got Neko's cloak and mask when he was in the orphanage when he disappeared suddenly and when he went to the orphanage and returned to Rira's location he saw Katanci who was approaching Rira because her height was much taller than Rira.
After changing with Rira, they immediately went to the inn and rested while telling the story of Katanci again. They went to eat first before they went to bathe in the hot springs. After that they separated to bathe in the hot springs, Lyra told Katanci and Loss to bathe in the hot springs belonging to the men's room.
While Lyra went into the women's bathroom to talk to Rira at length. Lyra switched to Rira and told her to drip 3 blood from the index finger of her left hand to separate her touch from Rira's body. After Rira did, Lyra and Rira separated completely without telling Katanci and Nero about it. Rira and Lyra took off their clothes to go bathing.
"Lyra, I'm glad to see you in this place rather than in a place full of blood when you called me for the first time." Rira pouted a little. Lyra wanted to say something to Rira but she still didn't know what would happen later if she asked something that Rira thought was strange.
Elsewhere... After Nero ate at the inn he intended to take a bath in the hot spring in the men's room but his intentions changed slightly but remained in line, namely to go to the river to take a bath.
"I'm bathing in the river this must be a joke!," Nero looks annoyed because bathing in the river while the hot spring bath at the inn for the men's room is controlled by Katanci and Loss, "Anyone who enters I will eat!! hahahaa..." Katanci enjoyed her bath with Loss who was sitting at the front door to prevent anyone from entering. Nero intended to take a shower in the women's room but when he took off his clothes and only the towel he was wearing he saw Rira and Lyra separated and playing with each other while talking about magic.
"HOW DARE YOU GET IN HERE!!! IF YOU ENTER ONCE AGAIN I WILL DEFINITELY BEAT YOU!!" Lyra shooed Nero away while threatening him. Nero who was still wearing a towel, he quietly entered the ladies room bath to get his clothes. Nero slowly opened the door, then he ducked his head and walked on all fours so as not to be caught.
After he succeeded he immediately stood up and immediately ran and closed the door so hard that the inn was about to collapse because of Nero. So Nero was forced to take a bath in a very cold and dark river that made him hesitate to bathe in the river, Nero was also confused, "Lyra and Rira can be separated but why not earlier?" Rira asks Lyra about her childhood because there are some things that Rira can't remember especially when she was ten years old. Rira doesn't remember anything when she was ten years old, she asked Lyra what happened that day.
Because since that day and age the entire population hates Rira. Lyra pondered as she stared at the water in front of her. Lyra told Rira to go back to her room before she got sick because of the cold temperature. Rira denied that she was in a hot spring so she couldn't be sick. Lyra froze the bath so Rira went back to her room. With a sad face Rira returned to her room but she couldn't because she was frozen too.
After being thawed, Rira returned to her room, "Katanci, if you hear me telling you this, thank you my friend." Lyra thanked Katanci in the men's bath which was next to the women's bath. Katanci who heard that felt very hot or her face and body were reddened to the point that the water in the hot springs was boiling too. Katanci was so happy to get compliments from someone he had admired for a long time. Even though they never talk
Even though they talk to each other, they still don't talk much because they have their own missions. Katanci thinks a lot about Lyra and Rira, two different people but with the same face, the statement that they are different people is still a mystery.
However, even so Katanci was still happy that she was with the two of them and with Nero. Katanci hopes to be with the three of them forever and that feeling Katanci hopes to be heard by the gods in the world. It's getting colder outside...
Nero struggled to soak in there even though the weather was very extreme and cold but the important thing was that he was clean and didn't smell like he was afraid of being scolded by Katanci, Lyra and Rira.
The cold temperature didn't bother Nero much but what bothered him was that it was so dark because it was night and there was no hissing wind. "This is a new experience. Taking a dip in the middle of the night when the weather is cold! I feel like I'm talking to myself.
Rira is a cute kid!! WHAT I JUST SAY!!" Nero was talking to himself and getting angry with himself with a slightly red face. While bathing in the cold river that seemed to have zero degrees, he saw something heading towards the inn and then saw someone running towards him.
Nero quickly stopped bathing and immediately put on his clothes. When he wanted to put on his clothes, the person stood in front of Nero exactly and because it was dark the person's face was not very visible.
"What are you doing?" the man asked. "I'm looking at the water." Nero had finished putting on his clothes. When the moon shines Nero is surprised because what is in front of him is his own mother who has long died due to Lyra's attack.
