{Half an hour after the explosion, October 8, 1335}
The time has past midnight. Some monsters woke up. The monsters were really hungry, and they started eating each other even if they were asleep.
The living are still asleep, children are far from their mothers, houses are empty and desolate, most things have stopped working, water wheels, mills, crops, shops, all these things have been damaged because no one is responsible for them.
Silence and stillness prevailed, a terrifying silence, there was no sound despite the billions of people lying on the ground everywhere, a huge chaos, people sleeping soundly in the middle of the forests, people lying in the middle of the snow as if nothing had happened, people sleeping in the middle of the roads, everything was filled with randomness.
{Five hours after the disaster, October 8, 1335}
The moment the celestial body begins to appear on the horizon as a result of the apparent daily movement in the sky, the sunflowers open on the horizon, their golden petals extending outward in a deep blue color. It is the bright flower of the sky that warms the world, with its soft and scattered rays a new dawn of a new history emerges, a new beginning for all forms of life.
A person opens his eyes gently and calmly, blinks again to realize where he is.
Dante: Huh? Huuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!
Where the hell am I?!
Dante walks in the area he was exiled to, in the snow again, blood everywhere, many people on the ground, he continues walking and the number of people decreases little by little as he talks to himself "Please don't appear in front of me, I feel an unbearable remorse in my heart, it doesn't matter, I have become familyless for the second time, I have nothing left to lose. Sara I'm sorry, Yuno, I made him die, I'm not sure if he died, but I regret what I did, we were dear friends, but we parted ways for the sake of training, we got arrogant, we wanted to enter the academy as experts and get praise and appreciation, Yuno is not the only one I lost, I am a person who has lost a lot and now there is a lot of effort and despair on my shoulders and my shoulders. Yubi, Dabi, I'm sorry, I was the boy who always caused trouble, if you are both alive, forgive me..."
Dante paused for a moment and raised his head, sighing and saying, "Finally, there is no one left who was affected by the disaster, now I can't feel regret at least, only responsibility." Then he made a campfire and sat thinking about his guilt to himself, sitting on a tree trunk with a miserable, depressed face.
"uhhh, I should collect some food to save some people instead of regretting it." Dante put out the fire, picked up a sword and went to hunt some animals.
On his way, Dante encountered a medium-sized rock golem. "Oh my god."
The golem Notice the presence of Dante and screamed loudly and raised his hand up. Dante quickly resisted and dodged the golem's attack. Dante ran around the golem, hoping to find a hole in its body. "What is this? Suddenly I remembered something. I read in a book that golems are monsters made of elixir, rocks and souls. What nullifies the elixir?!"
The golem continues to attack and gets angrier and angrier.
This is bad he's mad, the longer I delay the angrier he'll get and this won't work on me
". ."
"Damn you! Why are you so mad? Is all this mad just because you didn't catch me?! Just let me think of a way to stop you!!"
Damn you Dante, do you need a weak point to defeat a lowly opponent filled with weak points? ".."
"Come at me"
Dante dodged the golem's punch and thrust his sword straight into the golem's eye, the golem's eye went out and the rocks that made up its body disintegrated.
After Dante defeated the golem, he found a magic stone near the golem's corpse. He moved a little closer and started to touch it. "Is this the elixir?" Dante puts the elixir in his pocket "Well, I might need it later." Then, Dante puts his sword in the sheath in his back.
Dante continues hunting, "I've caught a lot of deer, some grass and fish, I didn't expect all this." The sun begins to set and the sky gradually turns orange "I have to go back, and night will soon fall."
Dante was on his way back carrying a torch and trying to light his way, suddenly he saw someone lying on the ground "Who is that? Wait... Is that a girl? She's a demon and the same age as me. Anyway, I can't leave her, she'll die if she stays like this" Dante grabbed his hand and found it warm and soft, he grabbed her arm and stood up and lifted her, Dante carried her on his back and made her put her hand around his neck and returned to his place immediately.
As soon as he returned, he grilled some fish, while the fish were being grilled, Dante was setting up a tent for the girl, after he finished setting up the tent he sat waiting for the fish to be grilled.
The girl opened the curtain of the tent and came out shyly "E Excuse me..." Dante turned back and saw the girl in front of him "Oh oh, good evening, you woke up" The girl looked down right shyly and said "Sorry but why am I in your tent, I just remember that a huge explosion exploded on us"
"Oh yes, this disaster struck everyone, they are all asleep, but I woke up since dawn, and when I was collecting some food, herbs and firewood, I found you lying on the ground, so I... Sorry I carried you on my back from the forest to here..."
".!."
"i'm sorry to carry you without your permission"
"No no! it's okay, you saved me."
"Ohh, so... You haven't eaten anything since yesterday, Come and eat, your share will get cold"
The girl was so shy and sat on the trunk and picked up the fish and started to eat hesitantly.
Dante: If you're that shy, you can eat in the tent.
"n no no, I'm not shy!"
Dante: uhh
"umm, excuse me... What is your name?
Dante: Dante, what about you?
"I'm Julie"
Dante: nice to met you
Jolly: me too!
Julie: Then why are you planning after this?
Dante: I will try to save as many people as I can.
Julie: Why are you trying so hard to save people?
Dante is silent and sighs and turns around
Dante: It's a long story... Dante (trying to change the subject): Anyway, I'm full, I'll grill you more if you want, there's plenty.
Julie: No, no, thank you, I'm fine, I appreciate that.
Dante: It's serious, you haven't eaten anything since yesterday except this fish, if you feel full I'll bring you hot water to warm your stomach, you're wearing light clothes and it's snowy and very cold.
Julie: Okay, water's okay, thank you very much.
Inside the small tent, it's cold outside, and the light of the campfire dances on the walls of the tent, emitting a faint warmth. Dante sits next to Julie, who is still recovering from his rescue.
Dante (in a calm voice, gently placing his hand on her shoulder to prevent her from getting up): Don't move too much... You lost consciousness and almost froze. It's good that you woke up.
Julie looks at him silently for a moment, her features confused between caution and gratitude.
Julie:... did i just... slept?
Dante (smiling calmly, looking at the glowing fire in front of him): Yes... You were so tired, so that's normal.
Julie: Have you been guarding me all this time?
Dante: yes, of course
Julie stares at him for a while, then whispers in a low voice, as if talking to herself.
Julie: Why do you care...? No one helps demons without a reason.
Dante turns to her, his gaze carrying a mixture of calm and compassion.
Dante: I don't see any reason to let someone die just because they're a demon... Also You're not my enemy.
Julie feels the warmth of his words despite the cold weather, looking at his hands that were bringing a wet cloth to wipe her forehead.
Julie: ... you're a stranger.
Dante (laughing quietly): I hear that a lot.
A moment of silence, then Julie sighs and lowers her eyes, hesitantly, before whispering shyly.
Julie: Thank you… for not leaving me.
Dante looks at her with a warm smile, then gently places the blanket over her shoulders.
Dante: Sleep now, we'll talk later when you regain your strength.
Julie looks at him for a moment, then gives in to rest, while Dante stays by her side, silently guarding her
