...

Luna : " Lucia, what did you find today?"

Lucia : " ...It's not a bad haul. I found this."

Luna : " Is that... canned meat? Yay!"

Lucia opens the can with her trusty pocket knife and passes the can to Luna.

Lucia : " Be careful of the sharp edges."

Luna : " Lucia, you should eat first..."

Luica : " I ate already on my way back."

Luna nods, trusting the words of her older sister. Then she sips some of the broth packed with the synthesized meat inside the can.

Luna : " It's so sour..."

" Lucia, when can I go out with you?"

Lucia : " ...You can't. It's too dangerous outside."

Luna : " But, you're always the one protecting me... It's my turn to protect you... Or at least, help..."

Lucia : " You're being good help for looking after our food stash."

" I promised our parents that I would never let anyone hurt you. So, handle the riskier tasks..."

Luna : " fine... "

Lucia : "... "

Luna : "What's that sound?"

Lucia : "Quick, hide!"

Nun : "Looks like we're at the right place. The Central Purification Filter is still running in this city."

"Its efficiency is decreasing, but it should still last a few months."

Black-clad Man : "If  you weren't bringing a whole group of children, the army would have never guard you on your journey."

" Now that you're here, you'll have to take care of yourselves."

Nun : " I know-That's why we've been taking those kids with us."

Black-clad man : "... "

Nun: "Is there a problem?"

"It's always been us ostracized servants of God who protect and feed the children during warfare."

" Of course we're allowed to rely on the charity of you soldier folks in these critical hours."

Black-clad man : " No, it's just... Saying it so bluntly in your position, it's making me a little... Forget it...."

" Anyway, the shelter below this church belongs to you now."

" But the supplies..."

Luna : " A-achoo! Lucia, I'm cold..."

Lucia : "Shh..."

Nun : " W-what's that sound? Is it... a Corrupted?"

Black-clad man : " Come out! Or else-"

The black-clad man is about to pull out his gun, but seeing the two small figures in the corner, he quickly returns it.

Lucia, holding Luna's hand, walk slowly out of the darkness.

Lucia : "..........."

Luna : "..."

Nun : " Where did these two little girls come from...?"

" Go go go, go somewhere else, this place is already..."
