The AN from the beginning has returned! To the reviews:

To isolono: To be fair, Uni was also trying to hide their identities, so being asked for money won't be much of a problem. About the rest, check the story for the answers you want.

To GJO1088: Thanks for your information. That helps a lot for my stream of ideas to complete itself. I have some answers PMed to you, the rest will be answered through the main story.

Without further ado, here's chapter 7!

"Still hanging in here, Kuro?" Uni asks in curiosity, as she walks into the common room of squad 7 to see Kuro checking his phone. She looks over his shoulder to see what he's reading. "Reviews again?"

"Yeah. Hey, do you remember the time we tried to sneak back into Bruhl?"

"In the early of May? We tried to destroy as much as tanks as possible there. Squad 7 meanwhile was doing a joint operation with another squad. Why do you ask?"

"Yeah... I forgot about Nameless squad."

Uni giggles. "You are careless sometimes. Anyway, what's more?"

Kuro then remembers, and scolds Uni: "Why did you tell the girls my weakness?"

Uni: "Oh, that? Sooner or later there's going fan-service for the story, right? Besides, it's always nice to see you in the bitter side."

"...I hate you for that. Anyway...speaking about Barious, are those goggles ready to use?"

"The moment you told them about the necessary items, they already prepared."

"Military-speed, huh? Hmm... did we forget something..."

"How about that Valkyria of Empire? You said we're going to face her in this fight."

"Well... considering I have scared everyone in Kloden, I'm sure they will send the issue towards the Prince, and from that, the girl might be directly on the battlefield."

"That's just an excuse to show you who you really are, huh?"

"Maybe, maybe not. *Chuckles* Faldio, you can stop hiding now. Come in."

Uni is taken surprised when Kuro said that name, and then she hears the door opening, as she turns back to see the leader of Squad 1 walking in. "H...How much did you hear from us?"

"From the Valkyria part." Faldio blankly answers, as he closes the door carefully. He then leans on the door, thinking that he's blocking the way out, and asks Uni: "What did you say about Kuro showing who he really is?"

"Um... that..."

"You are the intelligent one, so you must have some ideas in your head, right?" Kuro answers for Uni, still looking into his phone.

"A few. First, you could be a maniac Empire soldier who got expelled, and now you're using us to kill those who exiled you. Second, you're nobody and you're bluffing us, but with your weapons being real, I abandoned that thought. Or third... you're a rare Valkyria."

"That... that makes..."

"Quite a lot of senses." Kuro interrupts Uni again.

"Don't interrupt me! And you can't just let him tell about us like that!"

"Uni..." Kuro sighs, as he turns off his phone but not looking up yet. "Do you remember what those Brimir followers called me? A true demon. But everyone else sees me as their Savior. That's just opinions from people's views, so don't work up too much on it."

Faldio joins in: "Or fourth... you're not even human."

Now that makes the room completely filled with silence. Then, Kuro chuckles. "Oh? Please tell us your theory. Why do you think so?"

"All of your feats. No normal human could do so. Even in the records, aside from their super strength, no Valkyrias had even moved with that speed you two possessed..."

"And that's still slow, Faldio." Kuro interrupts. "And there are people who's faster than me, and they're human, but okay, continue."

Faldio raises his eyebrows, then continues: "There's absolutely no records of you two. And while you look like Darcsens, Uni looks like she's a mix between them and Valkyria, which is absolutely absurd as the records said that Valkyria and Darcsens were eternal enemies."

"... Were, Faldio, were. Time changes everything, nothing can survive against it, not even the purest and utter hatred. But yes..." Kuro raises his head up and shows Faldio his eyes, and Faldio immediately sees the changes: Kuro's right eye turns red and a half-circle replaces the pupil, while his left eye has some sort of symbols circling in it. Turning to Uni, he sees her eyes have turned green with the same symbols in Kuro's right eye. "We are not human...not anymore to be exact."

Instinctively, Faldio puts his hand on defensive stance to wait for any attacks due to the dangerous aura he's feeling... then it vanishes, as both Uni and Kuro's eyes are turned back to normal, as the later says: "I think it's late now, you should return to your place and have a nice rest."

The leader of squad 1 asks with a dumbfound face: "Wait, you aren't scared that I'm going to tell everyone?"

"To be honest, it would just annoy us, that's all. After the war with Empire is done, we part way, so there's no reasons to hold secrets for too long."

"... Then goodnight." Faldio opens the door behind him and walks with fast pace back to his room, not wanting to deal with this.

... Uni then turns to Kuro: "Really?"

"Like I said. Anyway, skip to the fight."

Time: ?

Location: War room of the Empire

"The base has fallen, I see." Gregor speaks to Jaeger with a bored tone. "I told you to put more forces into protecting the place."

"Yeah yeah, spare me your lectures." Sitting down on his chair, Jaeger leans on it tiredly. "So you heard the bad news, but have you heard the worse and the worst one?"

"Those small details are not my concerns." Reading another reports, Gregor says with no interest of the matter.

"Gallia somehow gained a type of weapons that show their enemies' location, which is our position, so all of our moves are basically predicted."

"Still small details. The fact we could hide behind a rock would make the infantry weapons be useless."

"The mercenaries were there."

"...Then I must have missed something in the reports, or someone forgot to write down."

"Because they didn't want to talk about the last thing they want to know: One of them is a Valkyria."

"..."

"I have told a soldier to send an immediately message to him, so Maximilian must have known by now."

"Are you even sure if that person's one? Selvaria said that all Valkyrias are all females."

"And that's why I sent the message. He might not be, but his strength could rival Selvaria's for sure."

"Hm... they're in Barious now... for what reason again?"

"Definitely about Valkyrur for sure if His Grace brought Selvaria with him."

Time: 0900, present

Location: One of Empire's camps

"Dude, I heard sandstorm happens regularly here." One Scout says to the Sniper next to him.

"Yeah, I really hate it. The sand always gets into my boots and I can't take it out during patrols." The sniper groans while keeping his watch.

"Not to mention that it just burns us from the inside of our armor! Seriously, I want to put the mask off, but sand would just blind me..."

"We could just bring a goggle or so..."

"Stop jabbing around soldiers!" The Lancer leader shouts to them. "We're here to protect the camp, not to complain about the heat!"

"Yes sir!"

Though, the moment the leader walks away, the Scout says: "Seriously, if this goes on, I would have died because of the heat first before the Gallians come here."

An hour later

"Sh!t, I can't see anything." The Sniper complains, as the sandstorm is over their heads.

"Yeah, me neither. Hey, anyone see anything?" Scout shouts through the radio.

"Nothing. The sand's too much." One Shocktrooper answers back. "Keep your guard up. Who knows what could happen? Hey, any Engineers around?"

"Still guarding the tanks. Over." One of them starts speaking, as he knocks on the tank next to him. "Does the tank still work in right conditions?"

"At the moment, yes. But we already feel the sand in our mouths already." The rider talks from the inside, his voice muffled by both being inside the tank and the sandstorm.

"Sir, do you see anything from your side?" The Scout tries to call the Lancer... and receives nothing. "Captain, do you hear me? Captain?"

"My apology. The damn sand caught into the helmet." Luckily, the Captain calls back. "I'm heading to your position now. Keep your eyes open."

"Roger!" Turning off the radio, Scout says in relief: "Thought he just got killed."

A moment later, the Lancer leader walks on the post, as the Sniper briefly turns back and asks: "You okay sir?"

"Yes. Though, the helmet's really quite annoying." Starting to removing the helmet off, the Lancer says: "You should do the same. It's too hot in that thing."

"Now you're saying si..." The Scout just starts to cheer, but immediately stops when he looks at the Lancer's face. And he immediately raises his gun towards the person: "WHO ARE Y..."

*BANG! BANG!*

"Gun sounds? What's going on up there?" Another Scout from below hears the noise, as he shouts up, but there's no answers. "SH!T! EVERYONE, WEAPONS TIGHT! Enemies in our base! You, come with me!"

"YES SIR!" The nearly Shocktrooper readies his gun, as both of them run up to the post to see the Sniper and the Scout having a hole on their heads, with a Lancer outfit laying right before them. "This is not good. Everyone, someone sneaked in and disguised as our men! Stay on guard!" He then asks the Scout: "What can we do now, sir?"

"Check every corner. Do NOT let anyone slip by. Not even our own soldiers."

"Roger that!" The Shocktrooper salutes and walks down the stairs, and starts aiming at anywhere suspicious to him while walking very slowly to not be caught off guard. "Every post, be advice, watch closely at any suspicious movements. We don't know how many enemies..." As he's passing a ruin of a wall, a Lancer suddenly gets smashed right through the wall, causing sand to fly directly into the Shocktrooper's helmet, blinding him for a few seconds. Once he manages to get rid of the sand, he looks down to see the Lancer having a stab wound through his abdomen. "Stab wounds? NO WAY! Everyone, that damn mercenary is here!" He radios to everyone, however, all he receives is static, and a few moments later he hears an explosion sound, indicating that one tank just explodes. "Damn it! The Gallians exploited this sandstorm to sneak in!"

"Soldier!" Hearing that making him go on edge, as he turns around and nearly pulls the trigger before he hears his superior's voice. "We need to be careful now. It's only us in this mess."

"...Open your helmet, now!" The Shocktrooper orders. He's not going to risk his life not knowing what he's dealing with.

"Okay." The Scout throws his helmet away so the Shocktrooper could see the familiar face. "You too."

"...Okay." The soldier complies. Trying to keep his eyes open, he sees the Scout, with the Rifle on his shoulder, trying to cover his face with his arms. "No one survived, sir?"

"Unfortunately. Those sneaky bastards killed everyone...The only one left is you."

"Damn. What can we do now?"

"Try to head back to the communication room." The soldier complies, as the two slowly walk towards the location.

The Shocktrooper opens the room... and sees a Darcsen crossing her arms as she stares at him passively. He immediately raises his gun up, only to feel a sharp pain in his back, as some kind of knife stabs right into his spine. Dropping his gun down, he looks back to see who just did it, and to his horror, that's his own Scout... however, the sandstorm starts to go down, and the Scout's outfit changes into the one of the mercenary, as the face starts changing as well. Now he knows why, as he tries to call through his radio again, but the mercenary already yanks it out and pulls out the hidden knife, letting him fall on the floor and slowly dying due to the blood loss and the heat of the sun.

When the sandstorm completely depletes, the camp is filled with dead corpses of Imperial troops under Gallian's troops, along with a blown up tank. That one causes the second base go on full alert, as soldiers start positioning to defend against a second attack.

"That C4 really works well!" Jann commends the equipment. "But it's really risky to get close to the tank. Thanks to the sandstorm we could go close without being detected."

"And that device of yours, man. Wandering around without them even noticing..." Largo points out how Kuro wandered between the enemies, and even after the kick against the Lancer.

"It's nothing, really. Though the second base has noticed of our actions here. Better head fast now. And goggles off now, everyone, the sandstorm won't come back until an hour at least."

"Okay. Largo, you lead some Lancers and start taking down the tanks. Uni, you're in charge of the sniper team, shoot down defenseless soldiers. Scouts and Shocktroopers, protect the Lancers so they can do their tasks." The Commander gives out the orders.

"ROGER!"

Kuro wipes the blood out of his blades, and is about to head out, before Welkin stops him. "Kuro, you have done enough. You take a rest."

The man just chuckles. "Well, if you think it's the best. I'm going to troll the Imperials now."

"Troll? What do you mean?"

"Well, we have the radio here."

"We need immediate support! Gallia has taken the front camp during the storm!"

"This is HQ. I suggest you retreat now! We won't be able to give you more troops in time!"

"We're abandoning this base?"

"Or you're gonna be killed all! Just do it!"

"Rog... what the hell is that Bob?"

"Sir! Someone is using our frequency and just constantly singing with his terrible voice!"

"Goddamnit! Are you kidding me?"

"What... a terrible singing." Alicia deadpans as she aims at a Scout's head and shoots. "Uni, was that really Kuro's voice?"

"A hundred percent doubt of it. He's definitely using that voice changer of him."

"Yeah, I think it's the case." Rosie says, while spraying over the sandbags. "If that's really his voice, then I will tape his mouth the moment he starts singing in the future."

"I think it does a great job in making the fight less tense, though." Welkin tries to the bright side here.

"And surely annoying the hell out of those troops of Imperial." Edy just chuckles when she sees the confusion in the midst of the soldiers.

"Do you think how long they would run?" Isara asks in wonder.

"In this pace, Is, I think it's an immediacy." Welkin just smiles, sympathizing for those soldiers who's been tortured by the absolute worst of singing they have ever heard.

After about an hour, the fight stops as the Imperial army retreats. Gallia troops advance forward and head further into Barious...

With Kuro recently being taped by Rosie, after finding out that he was actually singing with his real voice...

"It's the voice changer, Rosie."

"No. Until necessary, I'm not letting him talk."

Kinda ruined Rosie's career in a way.

Kuro doesn't really care, as he shrugs with his eyes showing that he's smiling for sure.

"This is going to be annoying sometimes." Alicia rubs her eyes in annoyance.

"How about focusing on Rosie's singing and completely ignore Kuro's?"

"Maybe that's the best."

Days later

Largo points up to the new structure on the hill. "Hey, what's that structure over there?"

Rosie says in wonder: "Its shape looks very weird, and it stands out like a sore thumb in this place."

Faldio sees the group and calls for them: "So there you are."

Welkin greets back: "Hey there, Faldio. I didn't know you're out here too."

Faldio: "Yeah, I was ordered to observe the ruins' interior. You know, being an archeology major." He then looks up to the structure. "It was supposedly erected millennia ago by the Valkyrur themselves."

Isara: "So they actually existed?"

Faldio then glances towards Uni and Kuro, the later is focusing on the building. "Yeah. Those two know."

Welkin asks Kuro in surprise: "You two already knew that?"

Uni answers instead: "To be fair, in our eyes, Valkyrur is just a name of a human race, like Darcsens. Their power, though, is a question worth finding out."

"You two really have different mind sets than ours. Anyway, I'm planning to search inside now. You want to come and find out why the Empire is out here?"

"Yeah. Alicia, Uni, you two come with us to look around inside. The rest stay out here and look for strange movements."

"Roger!"

With the group of four heading in, Isara turns one round to look, and then notices Kuro doesn't move after the exchange of words. Isara waves her hand above his face, and receives no responses. "Kuro? Are you there?"

"Just leave him be, Isara. We have more important things to do, my child." Jann pulls the girl back, stops her from 'disturbing' the mercenary.

Though, after half an hour or so, Kuro doesn't even change his stance, as he keeps crossing his arms while staring into the structure. Even Marina gets curious of that behavior. "Even a sniper would shift a bit to ease their numb. What is Kuro thinking?"

"I'm not sure... Let me try to pull him back here." Isara walks to the mercenary and tries to pull his sleeves. "Kuro, let's get..."

"*Sigh* I tried to pull him before." Largo says to Marina. "Like fifteen minutes ago. He didn't even..."

"AAAAHHH!" Startled by Isara's scream, all soldiers nearby stand up and look at the duo, and sees the girl falling on the ground, trying to crawl away from the mercenary with a terrified expression on her face.

Marina grabs her gun and starts running towards Isara and pulling her away gently, with the gun aiming at Kuro. A distance away, the woman asks the frightened girl: "What's wrong?"

"He... he was..." Isara isn't able to form any words, as she cowers into Marina's arms.

"Okay pal." Largo starts grabbing Kuro's shoulder and pushes it so he would face him to the eyes. "It's one thing you ignored her, but to scare..." He immediately stops when he sees the lifeless eyes of the mercenary. "What the hell happen to..."

"EVERYONE!" The group of four has returned back, as Welkin announced: "We just encountered Maximilian and one of his generals. We have to... What happened here?" He immediately rushes to a scared Isara. "Isara, you okay?"

Uni immediately knows the reason, as she asks Isara: "You touched Kuro, didn't you?" Isara, who can't really answer verbally, nods. Uni sighs and grabs her gun and uses the stock to hit Kuro right in the head. "Wake up, Kuro. We have work to do."

Immediately Kuro's eyes turn back to normal. And then he sighs and apologizes: "Sorry Isara for what you have seen."

Faldio changes the subject: "I would like to know more about this, but we're having a greater issue. Maximilian is escaping, and we're not letting him do so, okay?"

Though the soldiers are worried about the current situation, the other matter is more important. The soldiers start checking on their weapons and positioning to ambush the Imperial Prince...

After a few minutes, the behemoth of a tank of Maximilian shows up. Alicia says in surprise: "Woah! Look at the size of that tank!"

"And that armor is too thick as well." Largo grimaces. "Uni, do you think those C4 of yours could make a dense on it?"

"...Doubt it. Unless we could find a way to destroy it inside out, then..."

"Then I leave it to you, Uni." Kuro suddenly interrupts. "Because I have something to do." Suddenly the motorbike appears, and Kuro sits on it and rides away, not caring about people shouting at him.

"What the hell?" Rosie immediately exclaims in shock. "He's leaving us to deal with this monster?"

"I think that's the better option, because he's dealing with a second monster here." Faldio sees where Kuro is heading and understands why. "Welkin, what should we do now?"

"For now, avoid directly facing it. We have to see what it could do."

"Eliminate who opposes against His Grace!" Selvaria shouts out, as the Imperial Army marches forward and fights against Gallia soldiers. She also starts charging her spear and fires blue lasers towards the opponents, eliminating as many foes as possible.

She then notices something running towards her force from the right side, and that thing just runs on the infantry, killing the soldiers in the process. Due to how fast it goes, the tanks can't line up a good shot against it. Then, the thing directly runs towards her, and she activates her lance and shield, and is about to slash it vertically... when the thing suddenly flies up and splits in two, and a person uses one half of it to slam the wheel on her face, forcing her to raise the shield to block it. Due to the ground being not very solid, cracks start appearing under her feet. After a while, she mutters enough strength to push the weapon away, as the person flies back and lands on the ground, the weapon disappearing out of thin air.

After the dirt stops kicking up, she sees who just attacked her, to see the outfit matched what the reports have said about the helper of Gallia. She points her lance towards the person and shouts: "You dare attacking me head-on? Have you not valued your own life?"

"My life, huh?" The person stands straight up, and the Valkyria could see the person being nearly identical to a Darcsen, without any accessories related to the race. "Lost a long time ago. One reason why I could be reckless as much as I want." In his left hand, a thin sword in a scabbard appears, as he pulls the blade out and points it at her. "I have seen your ancestors' actions towards the Darcsens, and I have to say that I'm very pissed off at it."

Selvaria narrows her eyes. She didn't know about her power heritage, but she knows it's through some dark history. Though, this person could be tricking her. "What they have done is not my concern. Right now, my job is to protect His Grace, and you're not going to stop it."

The man laughs once, before saying: "Your life and his have more values to this world's destiny, so I won't kill you now. Doesn't mean you're getting out of here, unharmed." The scabbard disappears, as he grabs the sword with both hands. "Let's get this down to business."

Due to the distance, she activates the lance and shoots one laser towards the man, but the man just dodges to the left and grabs the projectile with his left hand much to her surprise, and spins one round and throws it back to her, collapses with her shield as she raises it up for defense and explodes. Kuro then leaps forward with his sword ready for a thrust, the hit collides with the shield and sends Selvaria a few meters away. He then jumps up high and slams down, hitting the lance this time. Taking the chance, Selvaria pushes the sword back and swings the lance horizontally, forcing Kuro to deflect it out. She then continues her attacks with light swings, which either Kuro just dodges or deflects it.

Then, when the Valkyria swings her lance upward, Kuro just swings his sword down and completely outclasses the power as the lance gets slammed into the ground, as he moves his left arm over his shoulder, a second identical sword appears in the hand as he slashes it into Selvaria's shield, sending her back even further. Using both his swords, he goes on full offensive as he continuously slashes her from all sides, forcing her to go on full defense for at least three minutes. During that time, Selvaria tries to counter by either bashing her shield back or thrusting her lance, he would just put more forces to counter her attacks.

Eventually, she finds an opening and she jumps out of the frenzy attacks. In the air for a few seconds, she points her lance down and shoots multiple lasers, and after landing she starts running zigzag while firing the lasers. However, with his hyper speed, Kuro dodges those with no problems, and in no time he reaches the girl and gives her a nasty slash to the back horizontally. She yells in pain and drops to the ground, but she gets back up nearly instantly, her power quickly heals the wound but it still leaves a long scar on her back.

"Healing factor. One thing that could turn the tide of all fights. Doesn't work against someone like me though." Sheathing both his swords and making them disappear, he slowly walks towards the weakened Valkyria. "You know, for a pure and innocent Valkyria, you have followed such ruthless person."

That gains a tick of anger in her mind. "Don't you dare talk about His Grace with such tone!"

"I say what I want. Your Grace is nothing to me." He stops a meter away from the woman, so that she won't get a clean shot on him. "But you. Your power is great, your purpose is right, but is it reality or just a sick dream? He saved you for what reasons? For yourself, or your power? On that day, if he saw you but not your power, would he still pick you up, or would he leave you there in that facility, days by days being experimented?"

"YOU KNOW NOTHING!" Thrusting the lance forward, Selvaria's hoping to hit him with surprise attack, but Kuro just grabs the head of the lance with his bare hand without problems. Nevertheless, she's furious at how the opponent is mocking Her Prince. "He's the one giving me a home to stay, the best education, and the love I always wanted..." Hearing that makes Kuro laugh hysterically, causing the Valkyria to become angrier as she keeps hitting him, only for him to dodge easily. "STOP LAUGHING!"

"Why not? You're still young, you still have much to learn about real love." With a well kick to her hand, Kuro manages to make her release her grip on the lance as he kicks it to the air, follows with a kick to her chest and sends her meters away. The lance then drops on his hand, and he teleports right on her and points the tip of the lance right on her neck, millimeters of touching the place. "Love always comes from both sides. One-side love will always lead to disaster." He then pulls out the lance and drops it out of her reach and walks away while calling out the bike. "I let you live today. Remember what I told you, and try to find a real love." He then rides away back to deal with the behemoth tank, leaving a defeated Valkyria there.

Regaining her strength, she reaches for her lance and stands up, feeling humiliated that her power's got overcome by a 'normal' human. And he even talked nonsense during the fight as well! "You... I won't forget this... I will have my revenge..."

She is about to shout at the last part, when a soldier walks to her and reports: "General, Gallia troops have retreated! What's our next order?"

Deciding to let the fight be in the back of her mind, Selvaria orders: "We head straight to His Grace now! Do not slow down!"

"LEAVING THE PRINCE AND THAT VALKYRIA TO LIVE? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO THINKING?" Largo shouts, trying to be louder than the firing of the machine guns from the behemoth tank.

"Kuro has his reasons, and he explained it to me. If those two die now, the future will lead into a bad path."

"SO NOW HE'S A FORTUNE TELLER?" Rosie shouts.

"... You don't understand. Anyway, just keep hitting the tank. It's going down soon." True enough, after Alicia, Uni and Edy destroyed the radiators, the tank's defense is weakened, allowing the Lancers to land several hits on the tank, making it break in a few parts.

"You have a lot of explanations to do, both of you. Especially why Isara got spooked after touching him." Alicia tries to pick off any infantry in her sight.

"That depends."

After a few more shots, the tank is completely destroyed. From the destroyed tank, Maximilian runs off with a few black marks on his face. "Damn it, losing Batomys to those rabbles..."

"I get him on my sight." Marina aims her gun right at the head.

Uni then spots someone on the hill, and she sighs. "Marina, don't waste the bullet. It won't hit him."

"Not until I try." Marina pulls the trigger and sees the bullet flying in the straight way... only to hit something in mid-air and deflect out, hitting another Scout instead, giving another Imp soldiers to start bringing Maximilian to safety. She sees another trace of bullet, she follows it through her scope to see Kuro with a sniper rifle which is smoking on the head of the barrel. "... So that's what you meant, huh?" She then looks back to see the other general starting to cover the prince as the Imperial Army starts retreating. "At least we're alive now."

"Isara, tell us what you saw." Welkin says in worry.

Everyone in squad 7 has gathered around a campfire, as Isara is in Alicia's arms, still shivering of whatever she saw when she touched Kuro.

"It's... it's horrible. The Valkyrur... the Darcsens... fighting in a bloody battle..."

"Vision Of The Past." Uni says, causing everyone's attention. "A unique thing of Kuro, letting him watch any events happened in the past. What Isara saw was probably the fights between Valkyrur and the old Darcsens."

"It... it was. I saw what happened to Barious as well... The Valkyrur was the one destroyed it, not the Darcsens..."

Everyone turns silence after hearing that. What they have known so far turned out to be a lie...

"History is written by the victors." Kuro suddenly walks to them and sits next to Uni. "Now you know the truth about the Darcsens. They did nothing wrong, but the Valkyrur put all the blames on them."

The silence keeps on for a while... then Welkin asks a crucial question: "Faldio has told me that... you two aren't human... what are you?"

Now that causes everyone to completely turn to the duo. Kuro immediately shoots it down: "I'm not answering today. Not when that damn General is still in his chair."

"His?" Alicia asks in confusion. "I thought the one..."

"I'm talking about Damon. Until I manage to bring him out of his position, I'm not giving out who we really are." He then stands up and walks away, with nobody really dares to stop him.

"Sorry about his... sudden change of behavior. He always becomes like it when he sees anything unfair, like the blames on Darcsens."

"..." Rosie slowly regrets what she has thought so far to the general race, but still keeps her hatred towards a few ones she remembered.

"It's really a mess now." Largo scratches his head. "We should take some rest, especially Isara. We should call someone else to help driving Edelweiss, because I'm sure she's not in the right state of mind to..."

"No." Isara suddenly says, still shivering a bit. "I'm just... surprised about the fact. A night rest will be enough for me to get back to normal."

"Isara..." Welkin is very worried. So he says next: "We're all tired now. We should go back to our camp, just like Largo said. Tomorrow, we head back to Randgriz."

Chapter 7 end!

Thanks to GJO1088's reviews, I have the right motivations to immediately release this chapter.

Also, spoilers for the next chapter: The past has a way to catch up. (You know this reference, isolono my friend)

See you in the next chapters!
