Since Morin Village is located in the northern part of the Valeria Empire, a typical high-latitude region, even during the peak of summer, the nighttime temperature in the village is not high, making it very suitable for a walk after a bath.
Lyra and Astrid walked one after the other on the gravel path leading to the lake. According to the former's description, there is only one path the villagers take to reach the lake named Centhes. Over time, even without deliberate paving, the rough stones have been pressed into the soil or worn smooth, becoming part of the roadbed.
Feeling the breeze brushing against her skirt, Lyra walked with light steps, her small leather shoes tapping against the gravel path, creating a crisp rhythm that harmonized with the intermittent chirping of insects, forming a particularly pleasant melody on this midsummer night.
Since the end of the last semester's exams, they had never been alone together like this.
