As I crouched down and tried to say hello to the cat-eared girl, I backed off frightened.
"It's okay. Good morning, I'm Grimm. I just made a pact to help you out, so I'll set you free soon. I'm fine now."
"is, yes, ah, thank you...... I work hard."
"It's okay. I didn't buy you as a slave, you're free to live. Don't you have any family?
"Me, one, everyone in the village is dead... killed... the devil attacked me... ugh, wow"
The cat-eared child cried out...
I accidentally hugged this girl.
To calm him down for a while, I stroked his hug head as it was.
The blonde girl who was trying to help this kid is crying too.
I gave her a hug with me.
Then the girl cried even more woefully.
I've settled down after a while, so I'll start by listening to the cat ear kid again.
His name is Chappie and he's eight years old.
He's a sub with bright brown hair, cat ears and a cat tail.
The outfit is dressed like a piece but dirty.
He lived in a small village in the "Duchy of Artemina".
It seemed like a village with a lot of subpeople.
All of a sudden, the village seems to have been wiped out by the devil.
This kid seemed safe playing alone in the woods.
The slave trader grabbed me where I was desperately running and falling.
That slave trader seems to be vicious, and catching orphans and such seems to be selling off.
This kid has been safe until now, apparently because he took it to sell it to the guardian of the city of Magne, a rare object lover.
There's nowhere to go, there's nowhere to go... this kid...
I can't just throw this kid out.
I decided to take care of this kid.
Not as slaves, of course, buddies, family.
"I'm fine now. Let's go with me. We have so many friends, it's fun."
"Er... it's okay... don't work hard for me..."
"I'm not a slave, so you don't have to work for me. Sooner or later, I'll rescind your slave contract. You just have to stay with me as a friend and do what you can as a friend... like..."
"Yeah... yes, you got it... you got it..."
"Okay, well, nice to meet you. Then you can keep your words to yourself."
"Ugh, yeah. You got it."
Finally the cat-eared girl smiled at me.
And I talk to the blonde girl who was trying so hard to help Chappie.
"I'm Grimm. Why did you try to help this girl?
"This kid was busted. Deal with bad adults. Grandma said to help those in need."
"Yes, it is. Even though it's tiny. You have courage. Are you alone? My family's nearby?
"I don't have a family... grandma... before this... she died... wah, me, me alone... guh, guh, guh"
I cried out again. I'm whimpering.
I'll give you another hug and stroke your head.
I'll make you cry like that for a while.
I listened to him waiting for him to calm down and be able to talk.
This kid, like the Milkies, seemed to live in this inviolable realm secluded with his grandmother.
Recently, about a week ago, my grandmother suddenly disappeared.
He seemed to mourn his grandmother by himself and then hunt and live alone.
It's so small...
How thoughtful...
As was the case with the cat ear kid earlier, but I couldn't help but cry when I heard about this kid......
No matter how young your body is, your heart remains your uncle who has become tearful...
I cried and embraced these girls.
They both cried again.
He was calm in the corner, but he cried again because of me...
Still, I couldn't help hugging these kids...
This kid's name is Lillii.
Age, this kid was eight, too.
He is a child of the people and makes beautiful blondes look like shortcuts, bobcuts.
The outfit had a bow and dagger, wearing something like handmade leather armor.
By the look of it, it's a brave outfit that looks like a little runaway adventurer.
You're so small, I can't believe you went in there to help a bullied child, just like your grandmother taught you... I think so... I'm getting tears all over again.
Keeping my voice down and weeping... Nia gave me a good comfort...
Nia was crying like that too......
Phosphorus and sissies are solidified.
Fu is waving around his neck as he crisps his eyes.
I feel my eyes seep in tears somehow.
Olyo is... crying.
One, one, one. I'm crying. I'm whimpering.
"Achishi will definitely protect you!
crying all over me as I proclaim.
I knew it was a hot one.
I'm totally talking words......
"Lily, why don't you come with us? It's fun to have a lot of company."
"Yeah, you're coming with me. Grandma would love that."
"All right, let's go then"
I decided to take these two girls with me.
There's no way I can relieve these little kids who aren't even close.
I think this is on some kind of edge, and I've sworn to protect these kids as a guardian.
Naturally, the Nears agree.
So we all decided to head back to the Great Forest, but they said Lillii's house was near here, so we all decided to head there.
There will be a lot of things to take.
After a while with Lillii's guidance, a small house stood in the open between the woods and the woods.
So did the Milkies' houses, but they're quite far from the streets, and no one would normally notice.
There was a small field in front of the house.
According to Lillii's story, she lived with her grandmother in the fields making vegetables, hunting and collecting nuts.
Sometimes my grandmother's acquaintances came to see me and said they brought me a variety of things.
But what comes is whether or not he comes once a year, and Lillii doesn't know his contact details or anything.
In front of Lilli's old lady's grave, we join hands.
I wondered if this eight-year-old made this grave by herself, and tears broke out again.
My uncle's tear glands, which are getting weaker, will soon collapse...
How meticulous... just think so... tears...
I swore to the grave.
Absolutely protect this child.
"Leave it to me," I swore on my grandmother's grave.
Everything Lillii says she wants to take has gone into 'ripple storage' for her.
Of course I made a folder dedicated to Lilii.
Lilli and Chappie were both surprised at first, but I told them it was a special skill.
Small house but solid good house.
It feels like a mountain cabin, though.
I feel like it would be a shame to make this house somehow obsolete...
It's small, but there's a field...
Above all, it's where Lilli grew up...
It would also be thoughtful......
Maybe I could go back and talk to Saya and get her registered to 'Managed Properties'.
Then you can go home whenever Lilli wants to...
If you want to take care of the fields, you can.
And, of course, a grave visit.
And then maybe I can put a couple of slimes here to protect them.
Lillii invited me to show her around the neighborhood where I could get nuts.
It turns out that it's a good place to take quite a few things.
And Lilli's story says he has some wild yak friends who let him squeeze his milk sometimes.
I was actually told I wanted to say hello to that friend...
Lillii doesn't come out even if she calls.
They're not close.
I just tried to give up and go......
From afar I could hear a low roaring sound of "boo boo"...
After a while, Yaku really showed up.
Big...... looks like a cow normally.
He's got a big corner, and he's over two meters long.
He was supposed to be one of the cows, but in the world I was in, he was supposed to live in a cold climate.
They also live in warm places in this world.
... Isn't it hot with such long hair...
Huge horns, a herd led by giant males.
Lillii seems to be friends with the whole group.
Lilii had spoken to the Yaks that he would be away for a while.
Will the words make sense...
Somehow... no, it seems like it's totally through...
But these yaks used to survive in places like these.
Yak's boss is slowly approaching me...
He approaches me with a trick to make sure of something... I don't know...
Staring with some kind of crushed eyes...
What if this...
Does it feel like I'm staring at you like you're one of us... No way...
"Do you guys want to be one of them?
Somehow I asked......
Then the Yaks jumped twice at once...
Jump twice... This is what if... From the example of Lynn and Sissimi... Twice would mean affirmation...
I checked the "Serviced Organisms (Tamed) List" in the "Bonding List" in the "Bonding Register"...
After all... it had become my 'Serviced Life (Tamed)'.
There are twenty-six heads.
Wow, this pattern...
I don't know what to do...
Being a "Tamed" means you can talk...
Let's talk...
(Thank you, gentlemen, for joining us. I'm Grimm. Nice to meet you.)
(Regards, Master)
The boss greeted me on behalf of him.
(But how did you become one of us? We've been able to do this ourselves before...)
(Yes. But you protected Lillii. I was worried about Lillii, who was alone. We loved Lillii and Kellii. I said Lilii is a good man. And because I found him to be stronger)
Kelliy is probably talking about your grandmother.
It seemed like a very good relationship.
(Right... I see. So, what do you guys do? You can stay here, or you can move to the Great Forest or the Spiritual Zone where our people are. I don't think it's safe because nobody's attacking either of them.)
(Well... we can still live here... but it's also attractive to be a safe place. Follow your husband's instructions)
(Okay, okay. Well, if you don't have any hope of staying here, then I'd be relieved if you stayed in a safe spiritual area. Let's go together)
(Yes, I understand. for you)
Don't you have any other friends? All of it just to be here?)
(Yes, it seems)
(Okay, okay. Then let's go!)
Thus we took the girls and the yaks and transferred them to the maze square in the Great Forest.
