Ch 77 - Oath Under Snow, Collapsing Idealism

Currently (Y/N) is tutoring Miyu about the common knowledge as she needs them to go outside.

Miyu: "Noun, a relationship with a person on equal terms without any disaffection or hostility, someone close enough to play and talk together..."

(Y/N): "Um, it's correct in the literal meaning of the word"

Miyu: "Hmm... I don't understand is it different from being family?"

(Y/N): "Yeah, the different is that it belong to outsider..."

Miyu: "Outsider? What do you mean by that, Onii-chan?"

(Y/N): "Of course, it's a person with no relationship, a chance encounter with each other, occasionally having a reason to meet together, without hiding anything from each other, chatting pointlessly and walking in the same direction. It's a relationship like that..."

Miyu: "Hmm... Did Onii-chan has a person like that..."

(Y/N): "Yes. Of course... That person is... what I called... a friend"

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

I stood here confused as hell as saw Julian is here and looking angry at me as if he saw something unforgivable.

(Y/N): "Julian!?"

He then glared at Miyu, caused her to get scared but I try reassures her.

(Y/N): "It's okay, Miyu. He is my--"

Julian: "That's the one without a doubt right, Erika?"

Then a familiar blonde young girl is popped out behind Julian which she was the girl I saw in the elementary school before.

Erika: "Yep. Most of the characteristics are probably gone but... the container is still intact..."

Julian: "Good. I always monitored this area, this town with no traces of people, if someone intentionally enters, they must be from Sakatsuki family that left or... a thief"

I widened my eyes after heard that and Kiritsugu's words suddenly ringing in my ears.

It's orders from him.

"Listen (Y/N), this is a strict order..."

(Y/N): "Julian... You..."

"Do not bring Miyu outside. Do not let anyone notice her"

Julian: "Five years ago. The attack that swallowed the town. The pillar of light that removed the activation from here..."

"If you don't do what I say, getting discovered will be inevitable"

Julian: "I've been searching this whole time for... that miracles... and the thief who stole it!"

"People like us who want to steal that miracle"

I panicked before putting up my martial stance before reinforced my arms and feet as shouting out.

(Y/N): "Run, Miyu! I'll handle this!"

Miyu: "Huh? Run? To where?"

Ahhh. How stupid I am as only realized after shouting out.

That I'm always alone...

I had nothing...

Not even a place to escape to...

Julian: "Heh... What a joke. What is that? Reinforcement? Do you want to kill me with that?"

I even don't have the resolve to abandon my best friend.
