Kazuma closed his eyes and looked into the world around him, his enemy detection skill, showed him where anyone or anything hostile was, he could see white dots on a black background because the things were so far away.

H e was going to say that nothing had changed, except there was one problem.

A single white dot was moving, faster than every other dot, and the moment that single dot made contact with any other dot the other dot vanished.

"That rabbit is killing everything in front of it," Kazuma said as he kept his eyes closed

"I don't know if it's killing other people, but it's killing anyone that fighting," Kazuma said to everyone around him

Arturia listened to what Kazuma had told her but she decided not to comment on it, no because she didn't care, but rather there was nothing she could say, the beast was something that needed to be put down, but for the moment it had its use.

So she would let it live just a little bit longer.

She turned and began to walk towards the cart and she gave out a small breath as she noticed that the rabbit hadn't killed the horse.

She laid on the grass next to the creature and closed her eyes, truth be told they should ask the people living in the castle for shelter but, she wanted to avoid having to give any kind of explanation.

They had just entered these lands caught between the old world, the current one, and the one that was just beginning.

She listened to the world around her and enjoyed the silence, this was her life now, it was completely normal.

She had no crown- no knights that followed her orders and no image to keep, so why did she feel so lost

Arturia felt something land on her chest and as she opened her eyes she noticed that it was a stick wrapped around in white thread, with a pair of long sewing needles sticking out of it.

She suddenly noticed that both Aqua and Nero were sitting next to her, she turned her head and noticed that Kazuma was already starting a fire, yet her ears heard something she didn't expect.

It was the sound of the horse swallowing the water it drank from a bucket.

"How long was I laying here?" Arturia asked Aqua

Aqua gave her a confused stare and yet the girl answered her with the same carefree smile she usually had.

"You just laid down anyway, today the I the great Aqua will show you her mastery of making great clothing"

"That's right the great Aqua will show you how she uses her sewing skill to make this white string into a dress" Aqua boldly declared as she picked up a needle with her left hand and used her right hand to pass the thread.

Arturia watched as Aqua began to spin the needle around her fingers until they were wrapped with white thread then she began to move the needle up and down depending on which thread she was on.

The girl repeated the actions until she had a base for what she was going to make.

Arturia watched as Aqua carefully removed her fingers and looked at what she had made with pride, she showed it to Nero and handed it to Arturia so she could get a better look at what she had just done.

Arturia could see the thread firmly held in place, but try as she might, she could not feel it.

This caught her attention because the thread Aqua had was made of wool and yet it nither itched nor was it anything special.

"I see what you did and my eyes of Empress have shown me how to do what do, very well I'll accept your challenge, let's see who is better at sewing clothing," Nero said as she began to imitate the same movements Aqua had just performed.

Arturia sat up and took out one of the needles and began to search for the end of the thread, she quickly found it and put it threw the hole in the needle and made a small knot for the thread not to come out while she did what she needed to do.

She began to follow the same act aqua had just shown her until she had both of her fingers wrapped in wool tread and she began to move the needle up and down.

It act reminded her of when she either went hunting or fishing when she had some time to relax.

She continued the action and felt herself smile and before she knew it she suddenly realized her ball of thread was gone.

She looked around and noticed both Aqua and Nero looking at their work, two simple white dresses, she looked down at what she had just made and realized she had made one big blanket.

Arturia had to admit she felt slightly embarrassed by her creation, but she wasn't able to hide it so she rose to her feet laid it on the ground, and laid on top of it.

She had to admit the blanket was something that felt great after having to sleep on the cart for two days.

The sun was now completely gone and both Aqua and Nero forced themselves onto her makeshift bed and closed their eyes.

"Aqua shouldn't one of us stay with Kazuma," Arturia said to Aqua

"...No" Aqua answered her, her voice was low and by the sound of it, Arturia could tell the girl was already falling asleep.

"...You looked happy, you know...all this time your eyes didn't have any life in them"

"I'm Aqua the goddess, I know everything about this world because I was here when all of you were born"

"You can talk to me," Aqua said to Arturia

"...I killed my own son\daughter and for what a kingdom that fell into ruins and for people who cursed my name," Arturia said to Aqua as the two fell silent.

"You fought for the people that cared about you and those that needed you," Aqua said to Arturia as she tried to comfort the former king

"She thought I hated her," Arturia said to Aqua

"Kids say that when what they expect to get, is either kept away from them or given to someone else"

"I know a certain someone that stayed away from everyone, after the girl he liked was taken by another man," Aqua said to Arturia as she opened her eyes and looked at Kazuma, who was looking at the fire.

"What do I do now?" Arturia sked herself, unlike every time she had repeated that she just wanted a normal life this time, however, she asked herself another question silently.

"Am I a monster?"

"This happens all the time, you just had bad luck or good luck depending on how you look at it," Nero said as she was finally done listening.

'I've seen it myself, after all, just remember how I looked when you found me" Nero said as she turned her back towards Arturia, not wanting the ex-king to see her tears

"You help lighten the people's burdens, help them learn and rise from their lowly lives and how do they thank you?"

"They forget everything you did for them and accuse you of not caring about them" Nero added before she became silent.

"...Aqua," Nero said to Aqua

"What are you and Kazuma?" Nero asked the goddess

"Right now, we're brother and sister" aqua answered Nero

"So it's okay if I take him and we have several chil"

"No"x2 both aqua and Arturia said stoping Nero from finishing

Nero felt her lips form a smile and decided to use this moment to mess with the two women next to her and forget about her past pains.

"We are going to be together, what happens if we are separated from the two of you and...I can't finish"

"Or if Kazuma goes to get a drink somewhere and comes back drunk only to see me asleep," Nero said before she felt something land on her head

As Nero removes the object from her head, she noticed that it was the dress Aqua had made earlier, she quickly made it into a ball and threw it onto Arturias head.

"Sorry," Nero said to Arturia as she faked innocence

There was a moment of silence and before the three of them knew what was happening they began to throw the dresses at one another.

Near the fire, Kazuma silently cried, he had what was this time periods version of a pillow fight happening behind him and he couldn't enjoy it, because he had to keep watch
