The Calling

After hearing the sound of that very loud trumpet, Asqa and Joshua immediately rushed away from the field where they were practicing.

Joshua walked at a fast pace. His long legs allow him to move very quickly even though he just walking, much faster than Asqa.

Asqa, who only has a pair of short legs, tries her best to speed up her steps but still can't match Joshua's speed. Finally, she gave up and let Joshua go first.

Joshua turned his head when he realized that Asqa was not next to him.

"I'm sorry, but we have to hurry," said Joshua.

"Yes. I know," Asqa replied in a flat tone, trying to hide her annoyance.

Despite feeling guilty about leaving Asqa behind, Joshua chose to prioritize obeying the trumpet's call rather than waiting for her and risking a delay in his arrival. Consequently, he paid no further attention to Asqa.
