On their way out, the black-haired boy was contacted by Miriette via the message spell as he felt the slight pressure brushed against his mind.
"|Sorry for that. I am thinking about what we should do with the rest of the soldiers on the site – how do things look on your side?|"
"..."
Zoemi responded without mentioning the reason for the failure, but even so, he felt Burushi flinching as she tensed up after hearing him speak.
When the pair had left the house, the flames had already spread from the one room to the rest of the structure and even on the outside, sending clouds of grayish smoke high into the sky.
"Mother...?! MOTHER!"
"..."
"...!"
Just as if it was timed by a malicious higher being, a dark-haired young man shouted in panic while running full speed towards the burning building just when Zoemi and Burushi had exited it.
