Could it be related to that 'Spirit Medium'?
As this thought sprang from the bottom of Eli's heart, it grew uncontrollably like wild grass—an instinctual image formed in this Scout's mind of the 'Spirit Medium guiding Lost Souls to The Eternal Resting Land.'
The noise from that fireworks show was simply too great.
Anyone who wasn't blind or deaf would know what had happened.
And those with well-informed sources knew even more about what happened afterward.
Being a Scout, Eli naturally counted as someone with well-informed sources.
Therefore, the first guess immediately followed—
The 'Bandage Swordsman' in front of him couldn't have just slipped out during that 'Spirit Medium guiding Lost Souls to The Eternal Resting Land,' could he?
But immediately, a second guess closely pursued—
The 'Bandage Swordsman' appeared amidst the ruins of the back alleys of Mule Street, his recent demeanor clearly one of searching, remembering something—probably related to the Sank family.
