Witch of Batomata (Part 6)

"Beast tide, huh. Can we defend it?" Imada asked himself standing out in the mild weather. 

A day had passed after the group had returned to the local village. The locals were kind enough to let them take shelter for free but Imada had no idea how long the kindness would last. 

'In case, we fail to control the beast tide, we have to find jobs… wait, aren't I forgetting something? How are we supposed to find jobs if the people who give jobs don't exist anymore?' All of a sudden, Imada felt that the matter was more serious than he previously thought.

Today, they were supposed to make a plan. So he was waiting at the meeting place, or rather, outside the residence the group was staying temporarily.

"Yo! You are up early." Koshikawa yawned, lazily approaching Imada. Followed by him were the rest of the group - Asuka, Aya, Sakai, Koyami, and the magician.
