On the morning of his third death and resurrection, Alexei speaks to a mysterious creature in clothes.
"Do you have a human child here without me?
The mysterious creature walking on two legs with blurry green skin seems to be able to solve the humanities.
But he could be killed again.
That's how Alexei got scared. Without realizing his anxiety, the mysterious creature speaks in a turbulent voice.
"Hey, Menko. Ah, this is the first time I've ever seen Menkoiko. But naked is not good."
The mysterious creature wrapped around Alexei a worn stall on his shoulder. Instinctively convinced that he would not be killed, Alexei wore a stall over his head. And I saw the mysterious creature again. The fact that she is wearing a skirt makes her gender look like a woman.
A fierce third eye red bear ran toward them with a loud footstep as he was able to spare a little feeling that he might be saved.
The beast that killed Alexei twice.
You can only tremble without making a voice out of so much fear.
Killed again.
I was incontinent due to the fear, but it wasn't far behind.
But she stands flat in front of the third red bear.
"Hey! What are you doing?! You're not going to eat a kid like this? If you do that, I'll kill you and put you in the pot! Look, you're a bear pot!
When she yelled at her, the third red bear ran away in fear.
She laughed at Alexei as she couldn't understand the situation.
"It was okay, Pepe. I'll protect you."
And Alexei was terrified and powerless.
"Menkoi, menkoi. You were dumped in the woods? That's right. There's no woods where kids can go in alone. For now, come to your house."
She went deep into the woods with Alexei in her arms. On the way, the beasts approached her. Big dog-sized diploid rabbits, poisonous tigers, acid-spitting blues, and so on, all struggling to crush each other, are magical beasts I've heard from knights before.
When Alexei was frightened by the beast and grabbed her shoulders, she gently slapped Alexei's buttocks and spoke to the beasts.
"Are you guys good kids? As you can see, today, I picked up my mother, my sweet child. You guys, I'm sorry, but don't come visit Mom for a while. That's what I'm telling your people. Someday, this kid may get along with you. Be a good boy until that day. It's a promise to your mother."
The Beasts must have given their consent, each leaving three or five times.
After that, the cave appeared as we walked through the forest for a while.
"Ola lives there. Live together."
She points a green finger at a cave covered in trees.
It reassured me that Alexei might not have been killed today.
"Hey, what's your name?
……
"You can't talk? Yeah, don't worry about it."
"I can't say my name because of the circumstances. If they find out you're alive, they'll kill you."
"Oh! Oh, my God, you talked. I wanted to, I wanted to. It was a beautiful voice."
The conversation behind my back reassured Alexei.
And when you go into the cave, you can see the poor beds and a little luggage in the back.
"Are you hungry? Do you want some meat?
With that word, I realize that I haven't said anything since the first time I was killed.
"Mmm...."
"That's right, that's right. Now, I've got you ready, so wait."
When she realized that Alexei was coarse when she lowered her back, she hurried out the rags and wiped Alexei's body with water drawn from the underground lake behind the cave.
"I'm surprised. I was scared. It's all right now. I'm with you."
When he heard the words, Alexei distorted his face and cried. She gently hugs Alexei and slaps her back.
"Hey, did I save you? Can I stay here?
She stroked Alexei's head and smiled.
"Of course it was Pepe. Ola, I'm so happy to be with such a beautiful child."
"... are you human?
That's right. Human beings. "
"What's your name?
"Hey. Everyone in the village used to call me Bakemon."
"But didn't you say you were Carchan?
She always twists her neck when she doesn't know what it is.
"Look, you said Carchan to the Beast."
"... ahh! That's what I said, Mom. Ola, I don't have a family, so I want to be everyone's mother."
Mom?
"It was about my mother, Pepe. It would be more inconvenient without your name."
She took a serious look at Alexei. White soft cheeks, big blue eyes, shiny silver hair. A much prettier boy than the doll held by the village chief's daughter.
In the meantime, Ham, let's hear it right.
"Ham?
"No?
"... that's fine. What should I call you?
"That's right, Pepe. Ham-chan decides."
Before thinking about her name, Alexei decided to ask why she was Ham.
"Ola, I've seen ham several times in the village. But I've never eaten it. I heard that my cheeks were so good that they fell. Your cheeks are also soft and about to fall. That's why, Ham."
"Yeah... Is that why you're here?
"No?
"No, it's fine. I owe you my life. Well, I'll make your name a pie. My favorite sweets are custard pie and apple pie."
"Pie. I've never eaten it. But Ham said," Uh-huh, I guess I did. "
Thus Alexei lived in the Forest of the Devil.
