Despite the fact that the Tacet Discord Outbreak was over, roads and lands were still unsafe. And here and there TD attacks happened on everyone who met them on the way.

You sighed, looking at your appointment to another field hospital located somewhere on the other side of the world. The soldiers were too busy clearing the aftermath of the invasion, so you had to hire mercenaries to escort you to your new place of work.

Calcharo, one of the best mercenaries, was silent and reserved. And he didn't seem to pay any attention to you while you were getting ready to leave. But what you couldn't expect is that the general of Jinzhou - Jiyan - will join you on your way. By a lucky, or not, chance, it was necessary for him to conduct an inspection in those lands, where you were appointed.

It was another night stop on your way. Calcharo was sitting by the campfire, silently looking at it and slowly drinking from a flask. You've never been able to get him to talk enough to find out more about him. He was always a master at dodging questions about himself, and you had no choice but to accept it.

Jiyan was sitting on the grass, his legs crossed in a lotus position, and he was frowning at another stack of documents. It seemed that the general's work never ended, dark circles from fatigue lay deep under his eyes.

You had no choice but to sit by the fire in silence. Calcharo and Jiyan slowly shifted their gazes in your direction.

"You should rest," - Jiyan's voice was warm and soft like a summer breeze.

"It's getting late," - Calcharo growled, continuing after Jiyan.
