"Um........Kiel?"(Rune)

"Hm?"(Kiel)

"Why do I have to sit in this position?"(Rune)

Right now, I'm in the middle of casting a healing spell while sitting on Kiel's lap.

"This way is more comfortable for me."(Kiel)

She just gives me a gentle smile. Ugh... I can't rebuke her if she gives me that smile. Somehow, her behaviour turns almost 180 degrees from the first time we met and it's been a few weeks since then. I already turned four about a few weeks ago.

Kiel is beautiful and smells good. But, excessive skinship is making me restless. Even back at home, whenever brother touched me too much, I would get angry, and she's just like big brother. Well, at least she isn's annoying as that stup- I mean energetic older brother of mine and being held by a beautiful girl compared to that stu- I mean my brother gave me a different feeling.

Kiel suddenly became friendly and introduced herself to me. She said that she 'wants me' or something?? I don't get what she means by that, but as she gives me her gentle smile, it makes my heart skip a beat.

..........

I'm not a lolicon! I'm definitely not! It's just that she might be in my strike zone in a few years.......and she's such a beauty!

....... but I'm a girl now, and she's also a girl...... this relationship might not work.... on the other side, I don't know whether I can love boys or not...... I don't think I can.... Let's just think of something else!

"What are you thinking, Rune?"(Kiel)

"Eh?"(Rune)

"You keep frowning for a few minutes already."(Kiel)

"I'm just thinking about something related to my future............Whether I go back to my past desire or just go with the flow of nature........ I just decided to stop thinking about it though"(Rune)

"That's a pretty heavy topic...."(Kiel)

Kiel just smiles wryly at my words. Even with that smile, she's still cute.

"I wonder why the other children cry when they're put in the same cage as us."(Rune)

I remember the faces of those new kids who were almost put into our cage. They just show faces of a person who just got the death sentence.

"Well, I believe it's because of me"(Kiel)

"??? I don't understand what do you mean."(Rune)

"It's because my eyes."(Kiel)

"What about your eyes?"(Rune)

"Don't they scare you?"(Kiel)

"?? I find them charming."(Rune)

They are charming.

"Ch-charming?...pffft!"(Kiel)

Kiel is trying to hold back her laughter.

"Don't you know about silver eyed demons?"(Kiel)

I shake my head. Back in the village, even if I like to read, books are very limited and expensive. In fact, the only person who had any books was doctor Alba and those books were inherited from a previous doctor. So, the books in our village were only related to medicine and plants. As for healing and cure spell books, it seems those books were given to our village by a traveler a long time ago. But, since no one can use magic, the act was practically useless. Not for me though.

"Silver eyed demons are well known as vicious demons who like to eat their enemies. Some even say they eat their own kind."(Kiel)

She smiles a few inch away from my face, showing me her biggest smile.

It's too close! Too close!

"Are you afraid of me now, Rune?"(Kiel)

If she really is a man-eating demon, shouldn't she have eaten me from the start? If I'm the man-eating demon, I would definitely prefer meat compared to those bread shaped black stones.

"No, I don't believe you're gonna eat me."(Rune)

Kiel's eyes were wide open when she heard my answer.

"Hahaha! Rune, you're soo adorable! Too cute!"(Kiel)

Kiel is hugging me while resting her head on my neck.

"Well, I prefer to be alone with you so I'm good with it."(Kiel)

She whispers softly near my ear. It's ticklish.

I'm getting drowsy as my mana is near its limit. Noticing this, Kiel take her hands from me, stopping me from healing her. She's almost healed completely, what's left is just her tattered wings. Kiel told me that the slave traders always cut her fingers and torture her once every two months. That's why, every time I finish healing her, I would wrap her legs and hands with pieces of fabric from my clothes. If they know that Kiel's healing process is getting faster, they will torture her more often.

That is why we hide it. At least before the time they torture her, I'm thinking of escaping with her. Although I haven't came up with a good plan yet and I haven't talked to her about it.... I will just tell her tomorrow.

*yawn*

My eyes are getting heavy as Kiel combs my hair with her fingers. I just fall asleep.

.......

........

When I wake up, we are already in front of the slave trader's headquarter. That's fast! Did I sleep that long?!

"Why are you' so tense Rune?"(Kiel)

"No, its just...just how long have I been sleeping?"(Rune)

"Around two or three days."(Kiel)

"That long?!"(Rune)

"Actually you woke up a few times, but then you slept again."(Kiel)

"I did?!"(Rune)

"Yes, and you're so cute that I didn't want to wake you up."(Kiel)

Am I that lazy?! It can't be right? I never slept that long before! Well, except when I was passed out. But as my skill level increased, I shouldn't sleep that long anymore.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

"Don't worry about the small matter Rune, you need more sleep. After all, you keep healing me everyday"(Kiel)

True, but now my death is just getting more closer and closer!

"It's only normal for you to sleep that long if you're tired. I'm also happy to see you hugging me while sleeping."(Kiel)

Aaa... that's already become my new habit - sleeping while hugging Kiel. It's because she smells good okay! And her body is soft! Besides, I'm a child now! So it's okay!

" Even if my mana's already sufficient, casting a sleeping spell continuously won't be good for her body."(Kiel)

"Did you just say something?"(Rune)

"No, I didn't say anything."(Kiel)

"But, I think that I heard you saying something about casting spell continuously and about won't be good for someone's body"(Rune)

"Ah, I'm saying that casting healing spells continuously won't be good for your body. That might be the reason why you sleep so long, because you're tired *smile*.....So, why are you so shocked?"(Kiel)

I should tell her about my plan to escape, but then, two kids walking around aimlessly in middle of mountain doesn't sound good to me. I lack an idea. If I want to fake my death, I need the headquarters to burn down and a fake corpse of me. Meanwhile, all my skill are not strong enough to do something like that.

"Rune?"(Kiel)

There is a high possibility for me to be trapped in the fire before I escape. Now that I think about it, where does the fire comes from? Ugh.....I need more details! Those game developer should give more details about the accident!

*kiss*

"!? W-what are you doing, Kiel?!"(Rune)

"You thinking so seriously, just so cute. I can't help myself wanting to kiss you"(Kiel)

Uu.. that smile, I just can't be mad at her for suddenly kissing my cheek...

*kiss*

"Wh-what was that for?!"(Rune)

"Your embarrassed face is cute"(Kiel)

Stop kissing me! I want to yell at her. She's more dangerous than my brother.

"So, what were you thinking just now?"(Kiel)

Should I tell her? Will she escape with me? Now, thinking about it, Kiel has wings. If we escape together, she can provide an escape route from the air. Not only can it erase my track from my brother's smell, it's also more easier to see everything from above.

"Kiel, actually I-.."(Rune)

Right before I finish my word, the slave traders started moving out the cages from the wagon.

"Rejoice, you mutts! We're moving you to a bigger cage!"(Slave trader 1)

"Hahaha! Yeah! Then, our boss will appraise your value!"(Slave trader 2)

They started opening the cages one by one and put us in line.

"Walk faster, you mutts!"(Slave trader 2)

We walk as the slave traders lead us. Their headquarter is pretty big, but its construction is sloppy. The building looks like it might collapse any second. No wonder it got destroyed until only debris was left, when it caught fire in the game. It's made out of wood mixed with mud and hidden with trees and leafs.

"What about this thing? Should we put it in the same cage as the rest?"(Slave trader 1)

Don't call Kiel a thing you hooligan!

"This thing should fetch a high price if we sell him to some noble! But the other mutts keep crying if they are put in the same cage."(Slave trader 1)

"Why don't we put that thing in the same cage as that guy?"(Slave trader 2)

"Hah! What a great idea!"(Slave trader 1)

I don't know which cell they're gonna put Kiel into, but what ever happens, I'm not gonna let them seperate us!

I glue myself to Kiel. Those guys did try to separate us, but I was unmovable from Kiel's side and hugged her tightly. When they tried to move me by force, Kiel bit them. With a loud sound, they beat her. As I saw that, I screamed, I screamed into top of my lung! At last, those hooligans gave up and let me be together with Kiel.

Ugh... there are bruises everywhere, there's also some blood on her lip. Don't they know the words, 'treat women gently'?! I bet they are hated by women!

Those slave traders lead us to the last door at the end of the hall. The door is made out of steel and locked with many padlocks.

*click*click*click*clang*

"Hey Allan! We have a surprise for you!"(slave trader 1)

Inside, there's a young man chained up. He's in middle of his twenties I think, about 180 centimeter height, dark brown short hair, brawny body, face like a player with pair of brown eyes. Full of cuts and bruises.

[Allan Riddean]

"Let me guess, big boob girl with long blonde hair in her late teens" (Allan)

"You wish!"(Slave trader 1 & 2)

I can't tell whether he's an idiot or a deviant.

"Well, that kid is blonde. What about it kid? Want to marry me? I can wait ten or twenty years, just remember, I like blonde with big boobs"(Allan)

T-this creep! He's even hitting on the four year old me!?

"Try and I will kill you"(Kiel)

"!?"(Allan)

Allan seemed to just notice Kiel who's standing behind the two slave trader.

"W-wait! You're joking right?! Why is there a silver eyed demon here?!"(Allan)

"Ha! Like it or not, these two will be your roommates from now on"(Slave trader 1)
