Even though the pain in his muscles and wounds was excruciating, Brian was able to pull himself up a little bit.
He took a substantial breath in as he looked at Neffy's back for a moment, and then he continued staring.
Brian said, "Well, we will probably equip ourselves and start training deeply... Maybe some minor missions while Kojiro and Alister decide if we stay or leave the archipelago."
When Neffy looked down, she was immediately taken back to the events of the previous night.
The atmosphere was given to by the panicked civilians, the town that was on fire, and the roar of the cannons.
Swallowing hard, Neffy said, "We will go to war?" Neffy turned her eyes a little, saying, "Brian..."
Brian slowly opened his eyes, dragged himself to his feet, and then made his way over to Neffy. Neffy appeared to be asleep.
After putting his arm around her, Brian continued to talk to her while he was still holding her hand in his other hand.
