When Kamiya and the others returned to the village, it was almost dark. Everyone was waiting for them anxiously. Sanda, Seika, and Roku were standing in front of the hospital.
"What do you think will happen?" Roku asked.
Seika, tired from the day, unconsciously leaned her head on her sibling's shoulder.
"Many people went, I'm sure Rikimaru will be fine," said Sanda. She wanted to be sure he was okay, she missed him.
"I hope you're right," said Roku. Although his sister's recovery relieved him, he had a bad feeling inside.
Sanda was looking ahead anxiously. When she saw the silhouettes approaching from afar, she felt relieved; they were carrying Rikimaru. However, she could sense that something had gone wrong. The group's atmosphere was very heavy, and there was someone wrapped in a white sheet with them. "They're here!" Sanda shouted. Seika jumped at her voice.
