Black Haired King

"Come on, let's go, huh?

A sister who smiles and says so. With that said, you didn't hear the name.

"Yes, thank you. My name is Ledius."

"You, Redius. I'm Bene, you're bigger than Domos, you're thinner..."

"I'm Calc. Nice to meet you."

"Yes, please!

Wow, that's kind of good. Looks like one of us, albeit temporarily. I was a little nervous about my first request, but I'm excited to come.

Then ask Mr. Bene and Mr. Calc to tell us a lot about being an adventurer. Leave a little without taking all the herbs, or leave the spot when you defeat your prey.

Because I only had knowledge in books, it was very fresh to hear such stories from people. I don't know if Mr. Domos is originally silent, but he is silently watching his surroundings. Watching it that way.

"I found it."

and Mr. Domos points his finger at something. When I look at the tip of my finger, my white ears are just out of the grass. Maybe that one.

"Oh, that's a white rabbit. Good start, Mr. Redius. Let's go."

Slowly moving towards the White Rabbit, Mr. Vane. Everyone else is making no noise. I look at it in imitation, but I can hear the scratches and the rubbing of my shoes.... difficult.

"Heh heh, I'll show you an example this time, Redius, you watch."

That said, the three of us proceed to surround the White Rabbit. All right, let's give your words a sweet tour this time.

You noticed the signs of the three of them, and the white rabbit who was eating the grass sneezed up his face and quipped. Right there.

"Shit!"

and Mr. Behne moves quickly and scratches the throat off the white rabbit. Whoa! I knocked one down in no time. If I were you, I would have been noticed and run away close by.

"Yes, I will. Yes, Mr. Redius."

If you watch the blood drain after that, Mr. Vane will give me the White Rabbit.

"Huh? But it was Mr. Bene who knocked it down..."

"We're good. Even if you hunt one white rabbit, you have one copper coin. The Wolf we're after will be one small silver coin. It's okay."

And he says with a smile.

"Oh, but I'll have Domos hold it because it'll be heavy now. Domos, please."

"Oh."

"Excuse me. Please help me from what?"

"Hehe, it's good. Because adventurers help each other."

He's a really good guy. It seems to be a lie that I've been avoided with dark hair so far. But I can't leave it to all these people. I need to help you with something too.

"Well, is there anything I can do? I'll help you with anything!

"Ha, then can you help us hunt (...)"

When I say that, Mr. Calc behind me says that. Wolf's hunt? I guess there's something I can do. All right!

"Okay! I'll do my best!"

When I say it in a mood, everyone around me laughs when it tickles. Hey, what?

"When the time comes, please."

And Mr. Vane moves on. Everyone else follows Mr. Vane. All right, I'll do my best to help at all!

◇ ◇ ◇

"You've come a long way."

It's been about an hour since I followed Mr. Vane. On the way out, there were white rabbits and the first goblins I saw, but mostly the vanes knocked me out.

The goblin is about 130cm in size, not very different from my height, had no hair, and was a warcraft in a hipster.

I had a stick, but from Mr. Behne and the others, it seemed I could afford it, and I was lightly knocking it down.

When the White Rabbit came out, he made me do it, too, but I knew I was bad at turning off my footsteps, and they noticed me along the way.

The white rabbit I noticed didn't go to waste because Mr. Calc knocked me out where he tried to escape, but my sweet idea that I could take this down didn't work at all.

When I was following Mr. Bene and the others at that rate, I came as far as the heart of the woods. There are so many trees growing around here that the sun doesn't shine very well.

I can be a little scared in the slightly dark woods, but I'm a little relieved that Mr. Bene and I might not have made it this far if we were alone.

"Is it good around here?

"Oh."

"I'm good, too."

If you think about it, Mr. Vane and the others stop talking. Is this where Wolf comes from?

"Bye, Mr. Redius. I need to ask you something."

Then he looks back at me and says so. [M] All right, let me help you with what I can do.

"Yes! What the hell should I do?

"That's..."

Mr. Bene approached me as he was, and...

Spa!

"Huh?"

The moment Mr. Vane waved his right arm, my left vision was gone. And the heat that gradually comes.

Hot, hot, hot, hot!

What the hell is this! Unprecedented fever gradually turns into pain, and severe pain strikes the left side of your face. When you hold your face down with your hands to too much intense pain, something drooling wets your hands.

"Ohhhhhh!

I sit on the ground screaming too loudly for the pain. [M] Why the blood from your face! Why!? Why!? I think that repeatedly, but I don't get an answer.

"What? I waved my dagger because I was willing to crack your face, but the only one I cut was on the left. I can't believe I'm avoided by a kid like this."

"Damn, didn't you get a blunt arm because you're fishing all over a man in color?

"Shut up, Domos. You shut up, too."

That's how Mr. Vane kicks my stomach as hard as he wants, squatting in severe pain. I wasn't stomping on him at all, so he kicks me up to the tree behind him and hits me in the back.

"Ha!

Bumping your back leaks air out of your lungs, but as much as you don't even care about it, no, a severe pain strikes your face that you can't. When I got here, my head finally understood. Mr. Vane cut me off.

"Gu, duh, what, what are you doing this?

I manage to speak out, putting up with the pain of running even if I just open my mouth. Mr. Behne looks frightened by the words.

"Hehe, in you, we seem to have looked like very well looked after guild seniors. But, zah. We're after that kind of new America. Sell newcomers like you to slave traders or use them as bait for warcraft. What's the matter, boy? You were good at acting, weren't you?

"Bowes was duped."

"Newbies die a lot of kids who can't, so I don't do much research on the Alliance side either. Unless you're also noble. Well, these days, they seem to be training on the Alliance side to reduce the number of kids like that."

... well, was I deceived?

"Who comes near a creepy brunette like you? Something that was too disgusting to stop goosebumps while we were talking in this forest."

... right. That's how it's always been. I've been scorned, beaten, and ignored just for the color of this hair. Even though only my mother, sister and Mia would talk to me without worrying about the color of my hair in the mansion.

And yet, even though it's normal for me to think that there's no one out there to talk to without caring about this hair, I was kindly once and trusted to just talk to her intimately. You're too stupid......

"Besides, I'm better at brunette habits than the others. I thought you were some kind of boy. Like that sword."

I'm Mr. Vane... No, I'm freaked out by Vane's words.

"Sure. I've seen brunettes a few times, but mostly they're either dying in slave traders or in backroads, so..."

"Well, I don't care about that. Now, if you give me the money and the sword, I will save your life."

"If you can get out of this forest alive."

That's what I'm saying. The vanes laughing. But...

"... None"

"Am I? What?

I stand patient with eye pain. [M] And pull out the sword you're offering on your hips. The pattern gets wet in the blood, but it's better than that.

"... you mean do it?

"That's a licked one"

The look on the faces of the vanes laughing until earlier changes. And even amateurs know enough to kill. My body trembles because of so much fear. But...

"I will never give you this sword"

Only this sword I got from my mother would ever.

"Nope. Domos."

"Ooh."

But I didn't have the strength to protect it... Domos holding the axe in his hand that he was carrying on his hip at the behest of Vane. And I wave the axe down. [M] I managed to prevent it with my sword, but it was played in an instant, and

"Ha!

My body was cut diagonally. Blood overflows without stopping and falls at the front glance without the body being able to move. My body feels warm like it's cold.

"Am I right? That was shallower than I thought. Why?"

"See, it's weird, isn't it? But, well, you won't be able to move now, so let's just get what we can get."

"Right."

And Domos searches his body, and takes a bag with gold coins. Damn, I have a desire to move my body, but it doesn't work at all.

"Oh! I had this gold coin. Now I can drink a lot today."

"I knew you were right. Then sword more."

And Bene trying to get a crouching sword on my side. But this is all...

"Shit! I'm not letting this guy go. Get off me!"

Angry that I wouldn't let go of my sword, Bene steps on my right arm over and over again. If it's true, I'm just screaming with too much pain, but the feeling that it already hurts is fading. And...

"You finally let go. Don't give me any trouble at all."

Doss gets kicked in the stomach. But it's harder to take a sword than that. Shit, shit, shit. If only I had the strength. I've never felt more sorry for myself than I did today. Damn......

"Come on, dude, let's kill this guy and go."

"Right. It would have been too late if I'd smelled so much blood."

"I'll be out of here in a minute! If you're surrounded by wolves, it's a hassle."

"Oh, if you crush this guy, you'll get away with it. Let's just get out of here."

That's how the vanes go away. At the same time, from the back of the woods, there is a roar in the massive footsteps.... Wolf. Will I die of being eaten by the wolves? [M] I'm sorry, Mother. I couldn't keep my word. I'm sorry about your sister and Mia. I promised I'd see you.

Only regret swirled in my fading consciousness. [M]
