It Wasn't What It Seemed To Be

Chapter 35 -Exploring Can Wait-

"I'm Kuro, I hope we get along well~" The blonde said with a welcoming smile on her face. She had a long nice black coat with golden linings along with a white shirt underneath. The red-eyed girl then looked over from a familiar voice that belonged to a recognizable girl.

"Kuro-! There you are!" Lon said as she shook her head, sighing before looking over to who she was greeting. She smiled at first before seeing Luz and his group a part of this.

"Oh Lon! I was just here greeting these guys~ They seemed to have come out of the cave that had just collapsed." Kuro said, pointing out the fact that the exit of the cave, was blocked. Lon on the other hand, had her suspicions. 

"Really now~? Huh.. well then, that's a surprise."

Lon looked over to the cave, wondering how exactly it had crumbled. Obviously though, she could tell that it wasn't any of the males who were with Soraru. They were all together. And with that, she could tell that they were clearly innocent from this due to the certain trust she has towards the swordman. She then only let out a little sigh before giving a sweet smile. "Well? Shall we begin heading in? Because I'm sure that's why you all came for, right?"

Giving a nod to the girl, Kuro on the other hand was glad to see others here. Sure, she had Lon and she was happy with that enough but, she still couldn't help but want to meet others as much as she could. Since her and Lon we're always together when it came to the village, or when she wanted to help out the blue-eyed girl with any tasks. She then looked over to see her dear friend and the group start walking, as she simply started walking to catch up with Lon. She was going to help her after all.

"I heard that this place was considered a safe haven, is that true-?" Mafu asked, looking at the blonde who was up-front of the group leading. The blue-eyed girl gave a nod, "Of course. It's the only place where we made sure that enemies couldn't reach." She said, slowly averting her eyes towards a certain lavender-eyed male. Seeing the pure dislike in Lon's eyes, the angel tried to give a smile.

"Don't worry, we weren't planning on attacking this place!" He said, trying to reassure the girl of no worries. Lon on the other hand only tried to smile back before turning her attention back at the road. The dirt path had been leading them to what seemed to be a cabin, a very beautiful type of cabin. The wood had looked sturdy, and the wonderful colored vibes were growing along with other plants and flowers.

Slowly opening the wooden door, Kuro then turned to the group behind her and Lon with a smile. "I hope you'll enjoy your stay here since the cave had been block. Please feel free to make yourselves at home~"

"Thank you, Kuro-san. We truly are thankful." Amatsuki said with a grateful tone, he was glad that the two were kind enough to let them stay. And of course, Kuro had to simply give a polite nod towards the male. Seemingly enough, the red-eyed girl had figured that they were so far at a good start. Though she wasn't sure on how Lon had felt about this. The girl had talked about the countless times that who she assumed the Lord was Luz, had sent many of his men to kill off villages. Her friend just couldn't simply look at the lavender-eyed male without forgiveness. Not for the many other things he's done.

She then shook off the thoughts in her head as she began to escort the bunch to their rooms. Who they had to each choose for themselves. Before she wanted to say anything else, she felt her sleeve get tugged gently from her friend. Letting out a smile, she then turned her head towards the group.

"Well~ It seems that I have to go now. Please go ahead and choose your rooms if you'd like~!"

"Of course, thank you Kuro-san!" Mafu said, waving towards the girl before turning back with a certain red-eyed brunette. Though as she led to the blonde's room, she only looked at Lon confused. The girl then leaned toward the wall as she was waiting for the other to speak up.
