In the late afternoon when the sun was almost done illuminating the earth where Ray and Yumi were, they walked through the capital city, observing the residents starting to return to their homes. Various races of half-humans and ordinary humans casually interacted with each other in a peaceful atmosphere.
"Ray, what do you think caused this kingdom to go to war with the empire?" Yumi asked Ray.
"...," Ray just looked at Yumi slowly without saying anything.
Feeling ignored, Yumi asked again, "Ray, why are you ignoring me? Hey!"
Ray sighed to contain his emotions and replied, "Yumi, the only thing I want to tell you right now is this. I've told you not to talk about it when there are others around us!"
"Come on, everyone is busy with their own business. It's not like they care about our existence at all," Yumi whispered to Ray, "and also, they all don't know that I am one of the heroes."
