Chapter 35

At last, another update.

I am so sorry for the long absent. It is because I have end of semester exam and I got sick with high fever, unable to leave even my bed right the day after I finish the exam.

Today it is just me since my friend haven't even finish his/her exam. We were in different major and s/he is much more busier than I am. S/he have to do taxes and finance calculation so I can not distrub him/her.

or s/he will kill me

Since I finish my exam, I will try to realease early next time (still no promises), but it probably in my trashy english. So, please bear it and prepare your eyes over my terrible english!

Chapter 35 [unedited]

…….

……….

………….

I sure I’m being followed!

At the first 2 minutes, I thought I was being to cautious. But after I activated [Detector] and [Auto-Mapping] for the second time, I’m starting to get worried since the two dots are still following me. So, I shorten the time interval before I activated my skill for the third time into 30 minutes and shorten it again into 15 minutes for the fourth time. The two dots are still there!

When I ran, they ran

When I walk slowly, they also walk slowly

When I walk backward, they also did it!

This is getting creepy!

Just who is following me?!

Why they are following me?!

This doesn’t make sense! I’m sure to make my existence as a plain weird character or maybe almost unoticeble since I rarely talk to other adult expect Shena’s follower! A fraud? A kidnapper? A pervert?

…..

Let’s ambuse them at the next alley. That alley is pretty deserted because my [Detector] skill shows no single dot. It would be a perfect place for fight without causing an uproar.

I walk quickly at the next turn and stop right there, waiting the people that following me. I activated [Stealth] and watch the dots walking closer. A little bit more….

…. They are here!

I deactivated all my skill and attack.

“Ei!”(Rune/Crev)

I caught the culprit’s hand and when I use some throwing tecnique, I feel something is not right. The weight is to light!

“Eep!”(???)

A girl voice emerge as I throw the culprit. Just then I realized that it was a girl who followed me. And because she is light, I accidently throw her pretty up high.

With out wasting any second, I quickly ran after her and use my own body to shield her before she fell to the ground. This of course, cause the both us falling.

I barely notice but she have a very soft and small figure…..More importantly, I almost throw down a kid! Someone’s child! That’s really shocked me!

Because I was quite surprised, my brain kinda blank a little. And I have been hugging her quite while.

“U-um……”(???)

“Aa…”(Rune/Crev)

I qiuckly get away and frantically apologized to her

“I-I’m sorry!”(Rune/Crev)

I offer her my hand to help her get up. But she look a little stunned as she paused before take my hand.

It’s must me a quite shock for her to be thrown suddenly. That is why she look at me blankly.

……

…….She is cute.

I mean, if I was in eight years old mental self, then she would definetly someone I would fall for.

Her body is so small and she have a big round eyes…. There is an adorable air around her and she smell like a flower. Those pink flower suit he well-............pink flower………..

She kinda remind me of someone…

I wonder who…

“T-thank you very much”(???)

Even her voice is adorable.

She is very cute to the point where I’m imagining flower petal in her background….

…….

……

…..

W-wait! This is a real flower petal! W-where these things coming from?!

“......”(Maid)

Maid over there! Don’t scatter petal around! You’re creating mess around the market!

“.....”(???)

Seriously, what the heck are you doing?!

The maid action and the girl appearance distract me. I almost forgot that they both following me. Just when I want to asked them why they both followed me, the girl look fidgeting while she seems trying to take my attention with her small voice.

“U-um!”(???)

Because the girl look like want to say something, I shift my eyes to her. She is looking at me with slightly red cheek.

She is cute…

“M-my hand…”(???)

She is pointing her hand which I have been holding for the past few minutes with out realizing.

“I’m sorry”(Rune/Crev)

I quickly seperate out hand.The girl is keep staring at her hand with dissatisfied look.

...Is it because my hand? Do my hand look that dirty? Ah, my hand do covered with a little dirt. I touch the dirt when I’m getting up from the ground.

While I’m whipping my hand with handkerchief, the girl suddenly l pull my sleeve with a cute manner as she move closer to me.

“W-w-would you!-”(???)

“Eh?”(Rune/Crev)

Her trembling yet loud voice surprised me. She is seems really nervous because her voice is pretty high in the end.

“Accompany...me….”(???)

Now her voice is very tiny, I almost didn’t hear her in the end.

This girl requesting my company. She barely know me, so why-....If she is ten years older and I was my past self, I would love to think that she is trying to hit on me. It would be the first time in my life, I was hit on by girl….

In reality, this girl is probably around 4th or 5th grader. There probably another meaning from her.

I keep staring at her as if waiting for an explanation. The girl, frantically continue her words.

“Ah! I saw you at the adventure guild before! You were reporting finished request and accepting reward with your friend.”(???)

So, in the other word you saw me in the adventure guild.

She know that I’m an adventurer and she is requesting me for a company since our age not that much different, that was why she is following me. She just want a playmate

See? She wasn’t hitting on me. She just want a playmate.

But, I don’t really in the mood for babysitting anyone though. Even if she is cute, taking care of her mean less time for me to wandering around. Beside, she have that maid with her.

I shift my gaze toward the maid who still standing near us while holding a bucket of flower petal.

Her short, chestnut colored hair compliment her white skin and peach colored lips. Is it just me or she sometimes look at me with pitiful look?

As if the girl reading my mind, she become fluster. It might be because I keep staring at the maid.

“! The maid is-”(???)

“.....Yes, I have an errand (Monotone) ”(Maid)

Said the maid, cutting the girl’s voice.

“.....”(Rune/Crev)

“Oh no, who will keep an eye on little miss while I’m running Master’s order (Monotone)” (Maid)

“.....”(Rune/Crev)

“As the young miss’ personal maid, it is breaking my heart knowing I have to leave her alone (Monotone)” (Maid)

Uh, why didn’t your master asked another maid instead other’s person personal maid?

“If only there’s someone dependable, brave and kind just like heroes in fairy tale ready to help me (Monotone)” (Maid)

….That is a lie. Who are you trying to fool with that monotone speech of yours?

“Help the young, beautiful, sheltered, and kind miss wit her journey(Monotone) “(Maid)

I wonder if her speech were written before hand...

“.......”(???)

“.......”(Maid)

“.......”(Rune/Crev)

Nope, not gonna be fooled.

“......”(???)

“......”(Maid)

“......”(Rune/Crev)

Um, can I go now?

Since there is an awkward silence, I’m planning to leave them both. But when I take one step back, the girl is starting to get teary.

“....*sniffle*”(???)

“.....*glare*”(Maid)

“.................................”(Rune/Crev)

U-uh, I can’t stand the way that maid keep peeking toward me with icy glare and the girl who is looking at me with teary eyes!

“”“.....”””

T-the silent! The glare and the eyes! I can’t stand it!!!!

If...If only a little, if it’s for a 10-15 minutes...

“......If it’s only a moment-”(Rune/Crev)

“Thank you!”(???)

The girl cut my words and grab my hand tightly. I haven’t finish talking!

….W-wait, the maid has disappear?!

Is this a scam? Is this a new kind of scam in the fantasy world? Don’t tell me this is a kind of scam where you lure young children with another children and then kidnapped them to be sold as a slave. Or the one that leave their children to play and never pick them up ever again?

That maid, I should have marked her with my [Detector] skill!

Worst case, I will report to the guard if she didn’t show up to pick this girl.

The girl look at me with a sweet smile on her face. She take a little piece of her dress and bow elegantly. The way she move is so smooth and I certain that she is some one with well educated

“Let me introduce myself, my name is [Julia]”(???)

The moment she mention her name, I quickly recognize that pink flower and her name.

Julia?!...I-it can’t be…no, could it be?! Bu-but how?! Nonono, that ‘Julia’ won’t act like this.

…..isn’t she? No way that ‘Julia’... It just no way right? If she is that person, then I just have make a big mistake.

With a cold sweat on my back, I activated my [Analyzing Eyes] to make sure that she isn’t someone that I should avoid or it is more like what I prayed for she isn’t the person that I should avoid at all cost…And my face turn white completely….

[Julia Vel Mest]

….T-this can’t be happening….

Tha-that Julia! That Julia who love animal, help the poor and the sick people! That Julia who have a very close relationship with the main character, the prince! That Julia who always light up the mood! Always cheerful and positive thinking! That Julia who always rank number 1 in favorite heroine! That innocent and adorable [Julia Vel Mest]!!!!!!!!! What’s up with this sudden fast development?!

I also one of [Julia Vel Mest]’s fan!

But she also in my list of ‘someone I should avoid in this game story’ because she have high chance for meeting my brother in the future!

“You might be not remember, but I want to thank you for the last time”(Julia)

Last time?! What did I do last time?! I have met her before? Is it about me throwing you? You want to thank me for throwing you?! But she said it as if it was long ago. Did I met her before?

“To accidently meeting you here. I believe that fate brought us together…”(Julia)

I will kill that fate! There is no fate! I want thank you fate! No, I shouldn’t meet her, fate!What with this cruelity, fatee!!

“I’m glad to meeting you here”(Julia)

‘Glad’ is the last word I would think of...

The last time I met with one of the main character, he died you know!

Ignoring my frowning face, she smoothly grab my hand…

….

She GRAB my hand! T-that Julia is grabbing my hand! If I’m not wrong, there was this one scene when the first time she met the prince, she take the prince’s hand to help him get away from the assassin that prime minister send. This scene is one part of the opening where the both hide in small back alley. Although she is scared, she tried to be strong and grip the prince’s hand strongly. And when the coast is clear, she take the prince to the safe place and smile cutely. The fact that she barely know him, makes the prince fall greatly toward her. And THAT hand is gripping my hand!

I am happy……

...

...

…..

…..Not!

I shouldn’t be happy

I have to get away from her! If I shook her hand now-...

Wait, since when did she cling to my hand?

H-how I can get away from her now?!

And where am I? Because I dazed to long, I no longer know where we are. I will activated my mapping skill later.

“Shall we venture more farther?”(Julia)

I would love to!....NOT!

I really, really love to walk together! But I forbid to! And now isn’t the time for it!

A direct contact with the main character is forbidden! Who know what will happen if I have excessive personal contact with her!

So, I sadly shake my head. Let’s just stand here and wait for your maid to come back.

If she come to pick you up, that it…She will right?

“Let go that way. There’s some famous craftman at the end of the East ward and they have a very beautiful rare blue diamond sold around there”(Julia)

NO! Can’t you see this head is shaking no?! Can’t you see my body is backing away? Are you blind miss Julia?!

“I’m happy that you agree to walk with me”(Julia)

Yes, I’m happy too…….

Even the mini version of Julia is adorable….

Not! I have to get out right now! Snap out of it Rune!

“That remind me, you haven’t tell me your name yet”(Julia)

Heh, I will never tell you my name! EVER!

While holding my hand, she looking at me closely with an upturn eyes and slightly red cheek…

That upturn glance sent shiver to my spine. That absolutely deadly cute! That mini version of Julia, looking at me like that….

It is not because I am a pedo….I have absulotely no such interest in children….No interest at all….none at all….It is only because the other person is my favourite character….right…

{AN: Sometimes, the more you denied it, the more suspicious it sounds}

“Your name is?”(Julia)

“.....Ru-Crevalance….”(Rune/Crev)

“Rucrevalance?”(Julia)

“Crevalance”(Rune/Crev)

“Crev then? Um….would you allow me to call you that?”(Julia)

Yes! Yes! Absolutely!

No! Don’t get close to me! Why the heck did I gave her my name?! I almost give her my full name! I shouldn’t tell her my name!!!!

….

This girl, she is really good in making my mind unstable….

“This is kinda embarrassing, but is it weird for me to feel somehow close to you?”(Julia)

C-close to me? ….Julia feel close to me….

This is bad, I accidently almost leak a grin. Not like she able to see me grinning anyway, thanks to this mask…

Anyway, stop getting close to me!

My brain want to break free from her but my body can’t move a single muscle!

WHAT KIND OF MIND TOTURE IS THIS?!

My body is run out of the energy to resist her… This is bad...

…..

….

….I really have to get away from her!

I take a glance toward Julia who is walking beside me.

SHE IS ALSO LOOKING AT ME!

Is it because I stay silent? But the way she looking at me a bit weird?.... Is it just me or she looking at me with feverish eyes? She slowly avert her gaze down.

M-maybe I should start a conversation...not. I should think a way to get away from her!

But there is something feel a miss here. I don’t remember Julia as this aggressive character. She should be more reserve and clumsy. Is this how she like when she was a child?

“Ah, that is the stand I’m talking about!”(Julia)

Julia is let go of my hand as soon she sees the stand with luxury decoration. There’s even some big guards near that stand. She is pointing that stand with excitement on her face.

“Hold it!”

The guard suddenly put their hands out as they stop Julia from walking further.

“This is no place for kids like you”

“Unless you two want to steal, that’s it”

“N-no, I just…”(Julia)

Well, from people point of view, it would be weird for two kids walking toward an expensive looking stall who happen to have two scary guard near by. Both of us wearing pretty plain clothes and we don’t have an adult with us.

In this world, there are plenty of thief done by children. Sometimes there are those man who dressed children from the slum with a good clothes so the victim will let their guard down and then steal their valuable item.

Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

It is only rational for them to suspect us.

“I am from the [Vel Mest] family, so I-”(Julia)

“L~i~e~s~”

The stall owner rudely cuts Julia words wirh annoying tone.

“You think I would believe you with that commoner look of yours?”

“Ah, I feel more comfortable wearing this clothes when going to the market, it is easier to move around with”(Julia)

Because her mother teach her to be humble. Julia in the original story also like to wear simple clothes, but along with her first grade armor, she looked really pretty in it.

“Does covered in dirt also makes you comfortable?”

Said the stall owner while looking down on Julia’s clothes.

I’m sorry, that is my fault she covered in dirt…

We fall down together after all.

“[Vel Mest] family who is doing business in this kingdom at the moment is the first daughter, Lady Alverta. She is refined, charismatic, and have a good eyes for THINGS. Weapon, armor, accessories and even p-e-o-p-l-e. Pretending to be her employee, you doesn’t even know the first thing about having proper look. There is no way [Vel Mest] family would hire such rat as yours”

The stall owner snorts at Julia as he using his fan to covered his sneer.

“N-no, I’m-”(Julia)

“Go along now! While I still kindly let you go. Or you want me to report the guard?”

Julia just stand there hang her head as her hand trembling. Her face is dyed with shame.

“.....ah..”(Julia)

I could see her eyes red as she hold her tears from falling. I couldn’t hold my anger no more and grip Julia’s hand tightly. I pull her toward me and push my sleeve to cover her tear.

“!”(Julia)

I would like to use my handkerchief, but it was dirty from whipping dirt of my hands.

More importantly, this arrogant old man goes to far with my favourite character!

“All of their blue diamond are all FAKE after all. We can find you more valuable than that thrasy craftmade”(Rune/Crev)

“What was that?!”

I didn’t made it up. Half of the blue diamond are not real. The one showing at the stall is real, but the rest at the box behind the counter have [Fake] at it’s name

[Raand Blue Diamond Ring] [Fake] Simple golden ring with diamond crafted by Raand. The blue paint underneath creating blue colored illusion.

Cost : 5 Gold Coin Crafting level : Beginner

Ah, the additional table shows up because my skill level is pretty high now.

Blue diamond originally have three time the price of normal diamond. It is because they are hard to find. Shena once told me that blue diamond usually contain a little bit of water magic. She can actually make a human made blue diamond. But the original blue diamond was created because they happend to be absorbing mana. The water that flowed along elven region, the pure spring have a special effect. It said that they can cure fatigue and cure sickness slowly. It is because the water it self was so pure that it can absorb surrounding mana, causing the mana turn into bluish color. That is why at night, the spring will glow slightly blue under the full moon. And the blue diamond was created because the water flowing around the ground which containing diamond. And after many years absorbing, there you can have blue diamond!

The way blue diamond created is actually unknown. Only because Shena a ‘little bit’ interested in it, she tried to do research in how it was created. At this moment, the only person who know how to make one is a few selected people from Shena’s guild.

“It can also be my back up plan if I want to increase guild’s fund”(Shena)

The other half reason is because of the money. She won’t sell to many of them because it will lower the price.

“You rats! It seems that I need to teach you two or three about your social standing”

Said the owner as he snap his finger. The two bodyguard walk toward us with scary look. Saying things to provoke the stall owner, I know that this will happen.

“[Wind Cutter]”(Rune/Crev)

Using the spell with quite voice so no one can hear me, I aimed that guy’s stall and broke the table’s legs. The table immediently colapse and the accessories fall all over the place. The man panicked while the guard stop their move.

“[Wind Blash]”(Rune/Crev)

Whispering the next spell, a strong gush of the wind carry on the accessories and it crash to the ground heavily. Causing the diamond fall off from the accessories and revealing it’s true color. A transparant white.

“W-what are you two standing like an idiot for! Help me to gather the diamond you fools!”

As those guys busy kneeling on the ground like an idiots, I took Julia’s hand and pull her away from the commotion.

Once he realized the table broken because of magic, that man won’t report to the guard since he also selling fake diamond. Even if he does, I will off the hook since beastman can’t use magic. He will never suspect a children like us capable using that level of magic. Heh, benefit of being children.

After a few minutes of running, Julia is already out of breath, so we slow down a little. Sometimes I have forgot how much energy children have because I’m beastman and people I’m traveling with most of them are brute…

When I’m sure that we have walk pretty far, I release my hand of her. She seems pale because lack of oxigent. She need a rest. I leave her near the water fountain. She can sit there while I search something for drink.

I found beluberry juice stall. That berry, it was popular even here? Look at those line up! Ah, everyone bring their own wooden cups. I think I have some in my item bag. There they are!

“””........”””

...That’s weird. Somehow it feels like people is looking at me strangely. Even the juice stall owner have looking at me twice from up to toe.

“You should becareful lass, there is plenty thief around here”

Said the juice stall owner. What is that supposed to mean? The thief want to steal the beluberry juice?

I walk to the fountain, holding two cups of beluberry juice. I could see Julia is sitting at the bench. She somewhat seems weird? She is looking down while hugging her own body. Is she feeling sick?

“Here”(Rune/Crev)

I offer her the juice and she looking at me with surprised face. Her face is very pale and she sweating a lot. Is she sick? The next moment, she seems relieved and took the cup off my hand with trembling hand.

“Aah…”(Julia)

She drink the juice very fast. In a second, she emptied the cup. Then, with a smile, she said in quite voice.

“.....Thank you”(Julia)

She is an angel even as a child…

“....”(Rune/Crev)

After a minutes rest, her face regain it’s original color. I washed the cup and put it back to the item bag.

“...Is that an item bag?!”(Julia)

“Eh? Yes, it is”(Rune/Crev)

Why she seems so worked up with it? It is common ite-

“One would cost more than 100 gold!”(Julia)

-m...What?!

“The smallest capacity is cost more than 100 gold while the biggest one can reach 250 gold. Dependending on it’s capability to slow down the time, it could reach more than 500 gold!”(Julia)

What? What?! But, item bag is common item in the game! And their price should not that high either! I even get one free from Shena!

“....I see, you have an item bag with you…”(Julia)

“Is that weird?”(Rune/Crev)

“W-well, if you are high noble or wealthy merchants, it would be normal...”(Julia)

Is that why people at the stall looking at me?! And the juice stall owner give me a warning?!

I could feel Julia taking glance of me with worried look.

I didn’t steal it okay! Shena gave it for free!

“No need to pay attention to it. So, where would you go next?”(Rune/Crev)

I quickly try to change the subject.

At this point, I already give up on getting away from her. After seeing her with that face, there is no way I will able to leave her alone.

Just for to night, It will be an exception.

“....”(Julia)

Julia didn’t answer my question and only looking down.

“S-should I change my clothes first?”(Julia)

She meekly looking at her clothes. Is it because that man’s words? On the other hand, her clothes got dirty because of me…

“I-i’m sorry for being unsightful...I should have wear better clothes…”(Julia)

She give me a wry smile but her eyes in verge of tears.

In the story, Julia lives with her mother in small village. Because at that time the head family is her mother, you could say that their lives was not easy. Her mother often sew down her old clothes for her daughter. And just like any other children, she also sometimes want to wear beautiful dress like a princess.

When her father suddenly shows up in front of their door, she was confused and happy. She tought it would be dream come true to have such father. She couldn’t understand why her mother seems reluctant to move with her father. She thinks that it would be a happy lives with her, mother and the father. Never once she know the existence of her other sibling and her father’s first wife.

The rest of the story just like a fairy tale gone bad. She and her mother was treated like nuisance. He brother treated her like a servant, and the servant treated them like an air. Higher rank noble usually have servant from lower rank nobles. For lower rank noble to serving a commoner is unthinkable, their pride won over their loyalty. Her father, never know what happened at home when he was away. When he was home, everything proceed as if nothing happen. Her mother smile was no longer bright as it used to. The lined up beautiful dress is not as shiny as she imagine...Looking at her poor mother last moment, she regreted her wish to ever enter the world of noble

Since then, she would feel more free when she wear simple clothes. It is as reminder for her about the simple lives she had with her deceased mother back in her village.

To make her feel this way, that idiot stall owner, I will make him cry later!

I took one of my clean coat out of the item bag and put it on her. This coat was made by Lila. It was pink colored coat, embroidered with white thread. Simple and cute...suit her more than I do…

When I put it on her, her dirtied clothes is no longer visible. The coat is long enough to hide her skirt.

“...It is alright if you wear this right?”(Rune/Crev)

“B-but….”(Julia)

“....You are amazing”(Rune/Crev)

“Eh?”(Julia)

Julia seems to be flushtered when I I call her amazing. She really is cute. I couldn’t help but smiled at her reaction.

“At the early age, wanting to help your family. I think you are amazing”(Rune/Crev)

I know how sad and lonely it feels when first time I take care my little sisters. I have to bear responsibilities as the ‘oldest son’ and ‘big brother’ as well. It is unbearable and tiring for the little me back then. I have to choice but to grow up at early age.

But Julia is different. She have the choice to not doing this and have an easily life instead. Yet, she still chose to help her sister and learn all sorts of things neccessary to do so.

“The fact that old man can’t see that, it’s mean he have a very poor judgement. You are amazing so be proud of it”(Rune/Crev)

Now her face is completely dyed in red. At the next moment she smile brightly while her face still red.

“Un!”(Julia)

Answer her full of vigor.

Ah, she really is cute….

After the talk at the fountain, Julia seems to be cheerful and she cling on me once again.

Only this night I let it slide...

I have been accompanying her for more than several stand. I must admit, she really is good at appraising things with out using any skill. All of her prediction of the quality is almost perfect while she only miss around 2 to 5 percent of it’s actual worth. She sometimes even know who the maker are.

When she appraised things, she would have those serious look on her face. Even if she just a child, she have that intellegent shine behind those two charming eyes.

Looking at her like this really makes me thinks ‘Ah, she really is that Julia’. I bet people would see my idiotic smile all night if it isn’t for my mask.

If I’m not wrong, Julia’s age is pretty similar to mine. Is it 1 or 2 years older, she should be between 8-10 since I'm almost 8? Because our ages are similiar, Eden in the game also treated her just like a little sister which of course that made Esta pretty jealous of her. Well, there is also one misunderstanding scene between the four of them (Esta, Eden, Prince and Julia).

In the original story, Julia's nickname was [Pink Rose of Iron Mountain]. Her middle name [Vel], came from [Velmoor Mountain], located in human continent. The mountain belongs to [Vel Mest]’s family and is one of the biggest mineral mines that can rival [Colstra Kingdom]’s biggest mineral mine. Her family runs material business, especially mineral.

In the game, it was told that Julia had four siblings. She has one older brother, one older sister and two younger brothers. Nothing else was mentioned about her siblings beside how they had treated her badly. The closest to her was her older sister, [Alverta Vel Mest]

Unlike the eldest son who managed the family business, the other child's fate was either be married of to another family for political reasons or make their own career as a kingdom’s knight. Of course, usually the daughter in the family had their fate sealed to marrying another noble. But not for Julia and her older sister. They both choose to run their own business and defy the fate of noble women. While the other relatives object, her father support their decision.

“Rather than seeing my daughters marrying with out love, I would rather seeing you two live happy and free”

Or so said the father in the Julia’s flash back event.

Born as a daughter from second wife, the commoner mother, Julia have hard time to fit in with her other sibling. She is kind and humble because her mother up bringing. When her mother died with her in early age, the only person that care for her beside her father is the first daughter, Alverta. When she was eight, she leave the house, following her older sister and help her in the store.

[Alverta Vel Mest] managing a shop specializing in weapon, armor and other craftmanship.

Wanting to be useful for her sister, Julia learn to appraised people hand work since she was a little.

Hard working, kind, humble, a little bit clumsy and innocent. With that kind of personality, player just drawn to protect her.

After walking another several stall, we decided to stop at the food stall for a snack.

“Oi, that kid!”(???)

We bought a grilled meat in stick. The seasoning mostly using honey.

“That kid over there!”(???)

Actually I’m in mood of something salty after drinking that beluberry juice. But salt is expensive, so this is also good enough.

“Crev!”(???)

“?”(Rune/Crev)

Because someone is calling me, I turn my body around. The one that standing there is a tiger beastman holding a same food as me along with the other four man behind him.

That is Kulak and his men…

==========================================

This is actually the most words I manage to write.

It pass 5,000 words!

\(> □ <)/

I will try to finish next chapter by the end of the week (still no promises)

The high probably is it isn't edited yet
