Fang Li imdiately recognised the sound transmitted from the door.
"Aya-san?"
That sound’s master was impressively Yomokawa Aya. Not just Fang Li, Ikoma too recognized her voice.
"Aya-sama?" Ikoma was astonished asking. "Why did you co here?"
"I just ca to ask sothing." Even though Yomokawa Aya was seperated by the door, the hesitation in her voice could still be heard, she clearly asked, "Do the three of you bring along any food? Do you need to prepare any?"
Yomokawa Aya’s word caused Fang Li and Ikoma to simultaneously look at one another.
The current state of the Hayajiro was very clear to them.
Under this condition of shortage of food and water on top of Fang Li and his group’s situation, if Yomokawa Aya provided food and water for them wouldn’t she definitely encounter stiff resistance?
However, Yomokawa Aya had still actually gone over and asked them, this had proven how much Yomokawa Aya cared about the people.
Only the young girl, Mui had no idea what was going on, not realising how troubleso it was for Yomokawa Aya saying whilst bored to death: "We don’t need any human food, so long as we have blood......ubwhjfpejfej!"
Mui’s sound was suddenly blocked off because Fang Li had just covered her mouth.
Not caring about the struggling Mui, Fang Li replied to Yomokawa Aya: "Please feel relieved, Aya-san, we brought along so food and water, for the anti there’s no need to be worried about this issue."
"Y-... Yes, Aya-sama." Ikoma seed unwilling to expose the fact that he needed to drink blood, following after Fang Li’s words hastily: "Please don’t be worried about us, we’re doing well.
"That’s good." Yomokawa Aya seed to relax, shortly afterwards saying: "Actually, after a mont the Hayajiro will stop temporarily, I need to tell you three important things."
"Stop?" Ikoma inquired: "Why do you suddenly want to stop?"
"...... Actually, the water tank was actually found to have burst, aning the water left inside is insufficient, if the boiler is affected by this the Hayajiro may not be able to continue moving." Yomokawa Aya said depressingly: "Therefore, we need to stop and refill the tank."
"Is that so?" Ikoma was a bit hesitant, sowhat carefully asking: "Do you need to help repair it?"
After all, Ikoma was also once a forge worker, he was good at handling these sort of things.
The only issue was that with Ikoma’s present status even if he were willing to help other people would absolutely not allow him to.
Therefore, Yomokawa Aya answered: "There’s no need to be worried, so of your colleagues from before are on the Hayajiro, with them here the water tank should be fixed quickly."
Ikoma’s expression turned sowhat complex.
It was probably of Yomokawa Aya’s words, bringing up mories of the people he worked with from before.
"After a mont, the Hayajiro will stop" Yomokawa Aya continued, "When the ti cos, I hope that you all won’t cause a panic with the people as far as possible.
"Understood." Ikoma nodded.
As for Mui, who had already escaped from Fang Li’s grip,she sulked and turned her head not saying a word.
Only Fang Li continued looking outside the window at the gradually dimming light, softly whispering.
"I just need to finish a matter..."
As night fell, just as Yomokawa Aya said, the Hayajiro stopped.
The vehicle’s doors opened up one by one and each samurai got down along with everyone else gathering above a covert open space.
At this mont, under the instruction of Yomokawa Aya so people went to start fetching so water, so started on repairs of the water tank whilst the other people gathered in the open space and went to work.
Went to work on what?
The samurais were all gathered in a circle busy keeping watch.
The rest of the people anwhile had gathered around a bonfire in the middle, kneeling down in front of it and chanting prayers.
Fang Li, Mui and Ikoma from inside the vehicle saw this scene as well.
Seeing that everyone was gathered around the bonfire praying Mui blinked and asked, "What are they doing?"
Ikoma was silent.
Fang Li looked in the direction of the bonfire and said softly, "They’re holding a funeral for the dead."
No words ca out of Mui after that.
Looking into the distance at the slowly burning bonfire and the people kneeling before it praying, Mui and Ikoma both fell silent.
After awhile wails started to resound in the crowd. Eventually, all the people of Aragane Station could not endure the sadness in their hearts, crying imdiately.
The air was filled with sadness.
This was a sadness that ca from the people they knew dying.
Facing such a scene, even the samurai felt as if the sa thing had happened to them, not able to utter a word.
Even Ikoma’s mood beca sowhat low looking at this.
Mui on the other hand just looked on as usual, her face emotionless but her innermost feelings were actually quite complex.
Facing such a scene, perhaps no one could be aloof?
In her heart, Mui thought this but then she noted sothing.
To her side, standing nearby Fang Li was looking at the miserable scene as well but his look was actually different from all other people.
What kind of look was it?
It was a tranquil one.
A tranquillity that no normal person would have.
It was a tranquillity that went so far as to make people afraid.
This look was like one that was completely numb to Death, it was definitely able to be called heartless.
This imdiately dashed the thought in Mui’s head that no one could remain aloof to this sort of scene imdiately.
At once, Mui could not help asking Fang Li, "Could it be that you don’t feel sad at all?"
Hearing this, Fang Li turned around to Mui with his pair of dark brown eyes still carrying the sa depressing tranquillity.
He said, "If I thought this was sad, I would’ve already beco a normal person..."
Leaving behind these few words, Fang Li walked towards the crowd in front imdiately causing a tumult within the crowd. However, Fang Li ignored them, walking with the sa emotionless expression he went directly in front of the bonfire towards a pregnant woman that was kneeling in front of it praying.
When Fang Li approached the woman, his lip moved gently a few tis as if saying sothing. The pregnant woman’s eyes opened widely imdiately but at this mont Fang Li moved past the crowd and walked deep into the forest in front.
Chapter 41 soon sorry guys haha
