Hmm...... What kind of guys? There are too many people in my senses to understand. "

There are three people about the same age as Jack. I've been asking you for a while, and I'm asking you when you're coming. "

"Jack, isn't the generation too rough? Hmm, it looks like Pamela's finally recovered, and I don't want to get caught up in it and scared."

Then I'll leave Pamela alone first, so please clean up and join me.

Thank you. It's so cooperative.

I wanted to love Pamela even more. The sin of interrupting it is heavy. "

Well, then, can you tell me about the shortcut in the alley over there?

Raja

Nicolas began to act when she saluted.

"Hey, Pamela. Now let's play at my house."

The bright red and solidified Pamela restarts.

"... huh? Marc, are you and Nicolas at home? Can I go?

"Fine! I'm a friend."

"Friends!... hey. Yeah, I want to go!

"Well then, this way! It's a shortcut."

Nicolas and Pamela rushed into the alley. And I'll follow it.... uh, I'm sure there's about three of you following me. I can finally sense it. Nicolas is as sharp as ever.

Then I entered the alley, and when Nicolas and Pamela entered the sidewalk that was about in the alley, I stopped and looked back.

Immediately afterwards, three boys came to the alley. Indeed, she looks as young as Jack. It's a shame we didn't have the time to spend as much time making elaborate stone walls as before.

"Hey kid. Where are the girls?

A blonde boy with a leader's hair shakes his shoulders to intimidate me.

What can I do for you?

"Wow, that was so cute. It's a waste of time for you. It's better to play with us over there, isn't it?

The twelve-year-old of this world is amazing. I wonder if it's normal because the age of marriage has also fallen.

"Hmm. She's a stranger, so I'm sure she won't enjoy it."

"What!? I didn't ask for your opinion. Get out of there or you're gonna get hurt.

When the leader is awesome, the boy next to him continues with a smile.

"Hey kid, you don't know, so I'll tell you. Have you ever heard of a kid killing bandits in the Adventurers Guild? I don't know what to hide from that kid, Moblo."

I've heard it somewhere!

"Uh-huh. I know about the bandits."

Moblo chops his hair apart,

"Oops, I'm famous too. You know that, don't you? Can you get out of here, please? You don't want to defy this Moblo, the leader of the Blue Surpents of the Turbulence, who was said to be the strongest in the West Side?

Is there such a thing in the western district? Everyone likes to build groups.... I wonder if there's one in the North Side.

"Hmm, I don't think it's a bad idea for you guys to form a group like that and play. But I don't think it's a good idea to put it on a cover and threaten people."

Didn't you think you'd answer me, or I'll go on to Moblo, who was poking like a fool.

"You're about twelve, right? It's time for this town's kid to start working. If you still want to play, you can do whatever you want, but don't play a game that bothers people.

"Ugh, shut up! Don't talk like a parent!

Moblo came one step closer to me with a rough voice.

"You have parents, right? Some of my friends have no parents. You are happier than that. [M] And you think it's okay to play this crap and make your parents sad?

"Heh, if you keep quiet, you won't know. You're such a lousy parent."

"You'll know as soon as you get hurt. For example, Hora, this is..."

--Doshh.

A large spear with an emphasis on appearance was created with earth magic and stabbed at the foot of Moblo.

"If you stab me in the stomach, I'm sure my parents will understand."

"Hy... soil magic...?

"If this stung you in the stomach, what would the parents who saw it say? Do you think he'd say," Ah, I'm having trouble? "I don't think so. Do you know why? That's because you know your parents love you. [M] And yet, you're just a sweetheart making fun of your parents."

"Nh, who are you...? You...."

"Who cares?... ahh, but will you stop whispering about killing snakes and wolves? Someday I'll be in trouble if I do something bad."

"Eh!? But maybe you... Come on, run!

"Stone Wall"

Build a stone wall and block the escape route for the three men who ran away from me.

Hey, hey!

On the sudden stone wall, the three raised their frightened voices and sat down from their buttocks to the ground.... ah, suddenly I ran away and accidentally blocked the escape route. I wish I'd let you go.

Ah, I can't help it anymore.

"Turn around, you guys. Sit down."

Three people trembling with their necks facing this way only.

"Come on, come on. Seat!"

It seems that you finally realized for the second time that the three people who sat there trembling. Okay, now we can calm down and talk.

"Ah, um... what happens to us...?

Moblo squeezes out his voice trembling. I spoke softly as I approached the three of them.

"I'm going to show you how important life is to live. Life can be surprisingly short. Don't regret it when you die."

――――――

"... I'll never fool my parents again, and I'll do my best as an apprentice with my heart changed!

Moblo holds his fist with a clear look as if the possession had fallen.

"Me too! When I get back, I'll apologize to my mom and rub her shoulders."

"I wonder what we've given up even though we're still young. We have infinite possibilities...!

My enthusiasm has been conveyed to the other two. I nod.

"We're awake. I'll never forget what happened today. Thank you so much!"

There are no stone walls blocking the alley anymore. The mobs waved at me and ran out of the alley. Towards a bright future...

I nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmm...."

― What are you doing?

Nicolas came out of the alley sidewalk.

If you think it's too late, what are you doing?

Oh no, the sermon just got hot.

As I was explaining the situation to Nicolas, Pamela came out of the sidewalk with a worried face.

"I came back from the middle of nowhere knowing you weren't following me, Mark. What's going on?

"Oh, I just met a friend, so I was standing up."

"Really?

Pamela looks around.

"I just left. Now let's go to our place."

Originally it was a pretext to escape from the mobs, but we should invite them back to the house.

Now it's time for the three of us to go down the alley. Since I said shortcut, I had to go home through the alley. I wonder if I can make it home. That's all I care about.
