　The seasons are passing.

　The hot and humid summer season is coming to an end, and autumn is beginning to show its face.

　As for me, my life was the same as ever after that.

　In addition to New Barca and Orient, I was building churches in the villages in Orient.

　Each village church was headed by the Barka Church in New Barka Town.

　Former orphans who were raised by Ai in my house were sent there.

　I was originally raising them to become candidates for the leadership of the Barka Mercenaries, but some of them are not so suitable for the mercenaries.

　After they had acquired a certain level of education in Ai, they were sent to the Barka Church and the Barka Hospital in New Barka Town to gain some experience before being sent to their respective villages.

　The purpose of this is the teaching of the Barka Church.

　Even though we have established a mutual aid society in a large city, the contents of the society are not yet completely known in the villages and other places.

　Considering the possibility of wrong information being passed on, we thought it might be a good idea to go to the villages first to spread the basic framework of the doctrine in the form of the scriptures.

　Well, besides that, it also had a meaning as a place for the mercenaries who were dispatched by the Barka Mercenaries to guard the village to live.

　It would be easier for them to work than to live in an empty house in the village forever, since some of them are perfectly capable of cooking and sewing.

　The church building, though small, is quite sturdy and was built to be located on a higher ground in the village.

　This is in case of a storm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was done so that the children and mercenaries we had sent there would not be harmed in case of a storm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some of the walls were made from the materials from [Wall Construction], so the building is thicker and sturdier than any other buildings in the village.

　Or rather, it looks so massive that it looks a bit like a fortress.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps because of this, there were a few villagers who could not believe that it was a church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Was it too much to ask?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought so, but it seems that it was not so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because the storm came just as Ai had predicted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was big and fierce.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a much bigger storm than I had expected.

"...... are you okay?　I had a glass break from the sideways rain. ......"

"This is a really great storm, sir."

"Galius. You're soaking wet. How did you get here in all this rain and wind?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course. Marlon should be here, that he should. It is unthinkable that he would be separated from his child under such extraordinary circumstances, that it is unthinkable.

　My house in the center of New Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even inside the house, I could hear the sound of the rain and wind outside very loudly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is dark outside, even though it is daytime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sky is covered with thick clouds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a storm, and the wind was stronger than I had imagined.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The wind was blowing right beside me, causing the wood and bricks to fly in the air.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It must have been quite heavy, but it was hard to believe even when I saw it with my own eyes, as if it were paper.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then Galius comes along.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is a daredevil.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I were to be hit by a brick that is flying right beside me by the wind while I am walking outside, I would not be able to live even if I had a lot of lives to live, no kidding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, it would be difficult to even walk standing up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only reason he came all the way to my house was to pick up my little boy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Marlon, Garius' daughter, was here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Marlon, who used to sleep for a long time and prolong his life due to a curse called an incurable disease.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now that Marlon is well again, he wants to work in a hospital to save lives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For this purpose he worked at Barca Hospital, but sometimes he came to my house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His purpose was to take classes here at the Eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He said that the actual treatment in the hospital was important, but it was also a chance for him to get away from the field and study in a classroom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Marlon is such a studious man, but he can't go home in this storm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The same goes for Garius.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least, he can stay the night at the house today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But aren't you glad that Marlon is in this house, Garius?　If it had been that house in the favela where you used to live, the whole house would have been blown up by now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... indeed you are right. I have lived a long time, that I have not experienced such a big storm in my life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see. Isn't it usually this bad?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, that it is. There have been autumn storms with severe wind and rain, but never with this kind of intensity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm. So it's the same for the Orient and the rest of the world, right?　Are they all going to be okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know, that I don't know. I don't know how long this big storm will last, that I don't know, but I hope it will pass soon, that I hope.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, well, it's supposed to weaken tomorrow afternoon."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　Is that so, that it is?　How do you know this, that you do, Mister Alphonse?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's a forecast, a forecast. We have a genius for predicting this kind of weather. He says it's not due until tomorrow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, even Galius, a long-time resident of the Orient, has never experienced a storm of this magnitude before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had told Garius that there might be a big storm this year, but I didn't tell him when it would end.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But maybe this forecast is correct.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ai's weather forecasts seem to be quite accurate even here in the East.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He has guessed the weather several times in the past, and I have confirmed it, so I think he will be right this time, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only other problem is the flooding of the rivers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am wondering how the river is doing in this storm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, I was thinking of getting on the Valkyrie and going out for a moment to check it out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I decided not to do so, because people around me stopped me, saying that it would be too dangerous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was still raining lightly at that time, but it was a good decision not to go out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this rate, the river must be in a terrible state.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Talking with Garius, I head for Marlon's place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Meanwhile the wind and rain were getting stronger by the minute.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think I'll be able to sleep peacefully today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the fear of an autumn storm in my heart, I stayed up late that night listening to the sounds outside.
