Afterstory, Part 1 – A Certain A
Mountains of sand, changing shape in the wind
The boulder’s shadow stretched far across the sand
Under the red glow of the evening sky, a number of dead men and the corpse of a ruba could be seen
――If only the ruba were alive
How many times had he wished this already
But no matter how badly he wished for it, it was fruitless unless he could revert time
“Create oases and trade routes”
Karasu thought back to the woested this
――damned Goddess of misfortune
Karasu cursed to himself
The oasis creation prograht with problems from the start
It took twojust to reach a semblance of cooperation
Thus, negotiations began with Jebas, the ho between Yohk’Zai and Jebas were a steep e, and the nation known as Triht Worse, Triht’s leader, Setsugen, was a stubborn youngster as difficult to negotiate with
With Setsugen constantly pestering him for firestones, it took half a year just to secure a route to JebasAnd to trade with the isolationist Jebas took another three in
Even though Karasu had been so busy he couldn’t even sleep, that damned Goddess had said,
“You’re slow Geez, we can’t wait any longer Whatever In that case, I’ll just bring the Tohjian workers to Insen myself”
Never in his life had he wanted to strangle that woman more
But despite that, Karasu couldn’t oppose her
While the wo her baths, Karasu had been slowly but surely advancing the preparations
That woman had complained to him, but he had still created an oasis in less than a year How could that be slow

Getting the tariffs in place was close at hand too
It was probably because of this that he had relaxed and gotten conceited
It was just riding a ruba for a bit Hardly dangerous at all Thinking that, Karasu had headed into the desert by hi any of his men

Before he was old enough to have his voice break, Karasu had worked as a bodyguard He had good sense and talent to go with it, and was regarded highly by trading caravans
Thanks to that he ed to turn the tables on the five bandits Unfortunately, in the process he had lost the ruba that was his lifeline
It would be reckless to atte a distance that would take half an hour on ruba
Karasu decided to preserve his energy rather than struggle pointlessly
Sparkling grains of sand in the wind seemed to paint over the corpses
Quite unlike hirow sentimental
“OOOOOOOI, WHERE ARE YOU HUUUUUUROOOOOOOOOOON!”
An angry woular hole was cut into the scenery
It was a bother to get up, so Karasu only moved his eyes
“You’re slow I’ve been waiting for you,” he said
It was a
When the wonantly
“What the hell was that!”
“What the hell… hat?”
Of course, he had a rough idea of what she was angry about Still, he decided to pick an annoying answer
