"Mmm..."

I wake up with a swinging vibration. Oddly enough, I have a bump in the head and pain. I can't judge the situation without moving both hands for some reason. I don't know what I was doing...

"You're finally up."

Looking at the voice, there was a girl as old as me sitting there with her hands and legs tied. The girl had a cute face like a doll, though she seemed to feel strong, dressed in luxurious clothes with a betty hair that she called a blonde vertical roll.

"Is this place………?

I still can't grasp the situation and when I ask the girl in front of me, the girl sighs. You're a kid with a strangely grown-up maneuver about my age habit. Well, I can't say anything about people either...

"We were kidnapped. I don't know what's going on out there, but I think they probably put him in the carriage."

Blonde vertical roll with "yes" tone or something too sticky. But I like that kind of lady character. Yes. Now if it's a high-flying car, it's better!

"That's not if you're thinking about being an asshole. Or kidnapping?

"You don't remember? Badly patterned men let you in here, didn't they?

I was thorough when I looked at my body again and said that my legs were tied with rope and my hands were tied with rope-like objects and wrapped with some animal skin on top of them.

And that's where I remember. Yeah, you got caught by Armando's bastards and weirdos. The headache must be because he was beaten just before he passed out. Looking around, I was crying or depressed at all the other kids that seemed wealthy and general class-like, more or less caught between the ages of 5 and 10.

Hmmm... judging by the outfit, it looks like there are non-noble children out there. The main reason for the kidnapping is the ransom, but in doing so, I feel that there is a variance in the identity of the child to be grabbed. Besides... I'm also concerned that Armando said "talented in earthly attributes".

"Hey! Are you listening!?

The vertical roll talks to me thinking about why I was kidnapped.

"What is it? I'm thinking right now."

"Well! What a crude way to talk! You saw it with a nobleman from your outfit, but it just looks like it!

Vertical rolls get prickly and angry for some reason. We can't afford a situation like this right now. Nevertheless, I don't know how much I thought about it and I'll respond to it at my adult leisure because it's a pain in the ass to make me angry forever.

"I'm sorry. Ma'am. Something was suddenly a little confused about this situation. Please forgive my rudeness."

Huh, what do you say! Dada didn't educate you about manners. Well, maybe a little bit of reverence is wrong, but no problem considering it's a 5-year-old. Vertical Roll talks angrily about whether he's fixed his mood with it or not.

"Phew, if you know what I mean. Now, tell us something."

What an unscrupulous gesture.

"Um, what's the story all of a sudden...?

"Well! Don't you understand? You're scared of this adorable, poor girl being kidnapped? Wouldn't you like to distract him by talking to him?

Oh, no, this kid. It's a tough type. I am a lady type who comes out a lot in various pieces yesterday, but I don't usually praise myself. It may be my bias, but at least it applies to the work I know.

I'd love to do everything in my power to get through, but it's not a good idea to make a bad noise and damage the kidnapper's mood. I don't know how many kidnappers there are in all of them, but a kid like me will be killed lightly.

I smile and introduce myself, sighing inside.

"Excuse me. My name is Alba Fontesium Lambert. Could you tell me your name?

My full name to be revealed here. What an aristocratic name.

"I am, Flam. Fram Albett... daughter of the world's best arms dealer."

The vertical roll named Flam introduces himself to you for some great reason because you are tied up. Are you the daughter of an arms dealer... if I help you here, can I get you some good weapons or something?

The carriage stops when you're thinking such an asshole, and the man who hit me walks in.

"Okay, meh. Follow me as adults! If you run away, I'll kill you fast, okay?

The children around them cry but are pushed by a man's sword curtain and taken by other men for the most part.

"The kid there. You should come soon."

For a moment, I thought you were talking about me, but apparently you were telling Flam. Is Flam unconscious to say that he has been kidnapped or not? Consider his nose a hun.

"I'm not named Kid. And why should I listen to a bitch like you?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You know what this is? You were kidnapped, right?

The man approaches with his blues floating, but Flam looks straight at the man instead of being scared.

"Well, it's useless to say that you and your fathers are going to catch you right away. If you want to treat me politely, you can just give your father a mouthful and stop being sentenced to extreme punishment, okay?

"......... this fucking kid!!

The man tries to swing his fist up and punch me easily on Flam's provocation, but I can't stand in front of Flam.

"Fair enough, calm down. Dr. Armando told you, didn't he? He told me to be polite... I'll be honest with you, so will you manage to keep your anger down?

I persuade him to smile while dobbling the cold sweat inside. It felt like the man said his anger couldn't hold, but you remembered what Armando told you to do, come quickly! and he leaves the carriage rampantly yelling.

"Not at all...... wouldn't you help me out cooler like a knight if I were to help? Aren't you ashamed of being such a hella laughing and feisty and a man?

... I might have had to help you after all. I helped because I thought I couldn't overlook being violent no matter how damn busy the kid is, but I regret it slightly.

In the meantime, I don't like it when the guy just did it again, so I manage to get Flam out and follow the guys.

The place they took me to is like a cave. I can go down the road and I can get into a cabin. We already have a client in the store, and a few other children were caught earlier.

"Okay? Don't even think about running away, okay? I don't think they can do it with their soggy magic... and you there."

The man, now it's time to look at me and point at his fingers visciently.

"Oh, man. Oh, boy, the dirt attribute there. I think it's okay because you're blocking your hands with skins that you can't manipulate without a magic chant, but don't get weird though, okay?

When the man said that, he left a lookout and left the room. So the point was made. Sure, I had my hands on the ground and raised the ground when I ran away. That's what they used to do to efficiently flush magic, but they thought it was a form of magic. So you're hiding my hand with animal skin so I can't use it.

Indeed, since I am weak as a five-year-old, I cannot lift this restraint. Well thought out...... seriously I might have packed it.

I don't know what they're after yet, but I want to believe they're looking for ransom. Because that way our lives will be guaranteed, at least until the deal is over.

"You were an earthly attribute. I thought you were pathetic, but you're pathetic to your attributes."

And there comes the unreadable flam of air talking to me again. As a matter of fact, I was thinking that I might be slapping my hatred to mislead it because I'm anxious, but even if I subtract it, I'm a little upset. I don't think I can grow up with it, but it's annoying, so I have no choice.

"... What about you like that?

"Me? Of course I am, Flame! Yes! A supreme attribute of overwhelming aggression and flashfulness that everyone envies! That's exactly what noble me deserves!

... I see that this high chronic personality and strange confidence of this guy is also that the innate attribute is flaming? Well, this personality is probably due to the way parents are raised.

Then comes the face I saw as I gently flushed Flam talking to me and searched for a way out.

"Hi,“ Master Aruba. ”How are you?

Armando with a nasty smile speaks in the usual tone, but what a white it was.

"……… Why did you kidnap me?

"Oh, you're surprisingly calm. After all, you seem different from normal children."

"Just answer me."

"… Well, since you're going to die, you can at least tell us why you're going to die."

I was unintentionally breathtaking with that vivid word of dying, but it seemed to freak me out around, and even Fram, the unfortunate girl who couldn't read the air, shut up.

"First of all, it's because you have a talent for earthly attributes."

I was wondering why Armando said this even when he was kidnapped.

"Even when we say simply innate attributes, talent is for each person. It splits into something talented with a guy who has little talent even with the same flame attribute. We need talented kids like that. Because I know very well that you are a talented teacher."

Armando, while saying so, continues to explain.

"Next, why a child? That's simply because if you grow up, you'll remember the acquired attributes. The rest is simply because it's easy to kidnap...... is it? All we need is a child with congenital attributes only. Our God doesn't care if impurities such as acquired attributes are mixed. Especially the earthly attributes may have a parent's good looks, but like you, the earthly attributes are the only ones that were difficult to find. Thank you very much."

I wondered about the word "God," but Armando continued to talk about whether he was drunk on himself to explain. The villain is why do you like to sprinkle all the evil out of you...

"In order to find a child with no mix of talented impurities, my other appearance is that as a magic tutor, when I enter into various homes and stare at them, I look at the gaps..."

"…… If I keep doing that, I'll have a rundown someday, won't I? Besides... why are you after a high-profile kid like us?

I hope you don't get me wrong, but I'm not saying anything about targeting an unfamiliar slum kid or anything like that. I wondered why they bothered to choose the higher risk ones.

"Hehe, you may not be able to imagine being a child, but there is a darkness in the world that you do not know... And I know what Aruba wants to say. If you're talented, you're telling me to go after an unfamiliar slum kid, aren't you?

Armando smiles invincibly when he says so.

"Of course, I'm after those kids. But I don't know if I'm talented, and besides, I have to go out of my way to find out the attributes here. Given the hassle, we need people like me to act simultaneously."

"So... what are you guys after all and what is your purpose?

"Our organization is' The Redeemer (Greatest Full Dead) '… The goal is to save this world. Our God is sleeping now and needs a great deal of magic of various attributes. That's why I took you."

The point is, is there a pattern where the cult denominations call it salvation and commit mass slaughter? So when we gather talented children who don't have acquired attributes and dedicate them to sacrifice...

Am I gonna suck? Magic is also sealed, and most importantly, I see no elements that can be defeated by a multitude of passives.

Did the boulder flam get scared too, grabbing my clothes hem and shivering?

"Come on, I'm done explaining. It's not my hobby to scare kids. I'll make it easier for you now. It's an honor to be a part of God."

When Armando signals that the explanation is over, the inflexible men come into the cabin and take the children one after the other. When I heard Armando explain it, I was completely frightened. The kids cry and rumble, but they can't possibly beat the power of adults, and they are taken vainly in resistance.

I was completely frightened of the flam that I had behaved in a temperament until earlier, and they took me very seriously, and I couldn't think of a way to open it, and they took me very seriously as well.

At the end of the journey, there was an altar and a black hood lined with wicked men, and the center of the altar was a huge evil statue of a disastrous figure.

"Oh! Dear Our God, 'Holy Evil Agnakia'! Give us salvation by sacrificing the innocent soul that is here now!

One of the devils screams something like that when he sits in front of the statue of the evil god.

"Come on, one sacrifice at a time!

One black robe holding one child at a time, which the devil refrained from on both sides when he gave the signal. The child screams and rumbles, but it also ends in vain, placing him on a stone pedestal and restraining his limbs.

I wanted to distract myself from such an unusual sight, but for some reason I watched it in silence. I want to help, but I can't. Such teethy thoughts dominated my mind.

"I'm not giving you relief here right now!

It happened when the black robe held the knife in both hands and tried to shake it down.

Suddenly, two figures emerged from the wall where the statue of the evil god exploded and broke.

"Albaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Where?!

One of the shadows had a disfigured and impatient look on his father and handsome face.

"Who are you! You guys! Get them!

"Disgusting! A merciless frozen blade. Bury your foolish existence in a pale coffin. Hell Ice Burial Blade!

After finishing the chant, his father saw countless giant ice spears appear from the ground and pierce the black robe.

When Dad notices me, he knocks down all the black robes around him and hugs me.

"Alba! Are you okay!? Are you hurt!? Still pure!?

I'm worried too much and at the end of the day I'm talking weird, but I decide not to ask and answer.

"Yes, I'm fine. More than that... why my place?

My father answers my question with a smile as he removes my restraint.

"That feels like loving my son through heaven." I found it! "... I was wondering if you could let me snuggle for a moment."

Aldi shows up a little behind his father when he tries to say something.

"Me and Aruba are connected, so no matter how far away we are, we can find them!

Well, thanks to Aldi's contract, did I save you? It is something that we do not know what is positive in the world.

"Oh, speaking of which, what about your mother......?

"…… that way."

To my inquiry, my father points to the other side with a chewed up bitter worm for some reason.

"Ahhh! You got to get your hands on my boy and think you can do it for free. Yeah, yeah!

Mother burns up a black robe that wraps the flames around her body and escapes. Whatever it is, I'm scared. Where did Mae and her troubled mother go?

"Long time no see. Oh, that. Commonly known as the Empress of Fire Hell... Merriella's specialty magic in converting her magic and body into flames and burning down her enemies... Merriella was young before she married me to the head of the Knights of the Kingdom 4th Knight. After marrying me, I retired because I wanted to focus on raising my children. It was called the Queen of Hell at the time."

Dad talks about that in a distant way. Um, I didn't really expect my mother to be like that, either. I mean, if you two were so strong, you certainly wouldn't need an escort.

"Speaking of which, your father was strong, too."

"Hmm? Well, it's weaker than Meriella's, but she graduated first from the School of Magic."

Dad talks like it's nothing as he unties the other children.

"There's no reason for my parents to be so monstrous." I came up with a title like some Lanobe, but I want to think that's something I can't help.

That's what happened when my mother burned down all the enemies.

"Move!

Looking at the voice, Armando, who had somehow disappeared, was taking Flam hostage.

"Armando!"

My father and mother stare at Armando with hatred and scream, but Armando smiles and speaks with a hella.

"Hey, boulders are the Queen of Hell and the Ice Emperor and you two are famous. I didn't think this branch would be destroyed in a few minutes."

Armando continues the conversation without breaking his grin and poking his knife at the flam.

"But I'm not going to get caught here either, am I? Shall we miss this place?"

My father and mother just couldn't help it because of the hostages. Flam had his teeth rattled with fear with a crying expression.

... I can't abandon you, can I? Damn busy kid, but I'm not ruthless enough to abandon the guy in need in front of me. I don't think about saving the world or anything big like that, but I want to save what I can. I'm going to be just enough.

(... Aldi, can you hear me?)

(What?)

I do Aldi a telepathic favor.

(Can you?)

(I can't do it, but I don't think I have enough magic. It's a little hard to do here because it's full of nasty magic)

(Then you can use my magic too. In the meantime, just distract him for a moment, that's fine)

Aldi nods at my words, jumping out of the doll body and diving to the ground.

"Let go of the flam! Armando!"

I yell at Armando to buy me some time.

"I can't do that. It's a consultation...... she's my important hostage. It's a shield to protect my life."

After all, can't you just say these words? And Aldi contacts me there that I'm ready. My body suddenly gets heavy when I issue a GO signature at a bad time. Perhaps Aldi collected the magic from me.

"Well, the long story is by here. It's time to let him get away...... ugh!?

Where Armando tried to change direction, all of a sudden Armando breaks down his system. Earthly in the battle, where Armando stood, the earth was exposed, and from there, the hands of the earth were grabbing Armando's feet.

"Flam! Now run!

Armando's out of balance, and I run out. Armando's imbalance makes it easier for Flam to escape, and when he's happy with my voice, he runs out, but because of his fear, his feet don't stick and he falls. My father and mother rush out at the same time, but when a novice shows up to see where he was hiding, he stops my father and mother. Those parents wouldn't do it, but there's a time lag going on.

"You fucking kid!!

When Armando's mask comes off and he becomes a vicious face, he tries to stick a knife in the fallen flam.

(Shit!)

I scream at Aldi in a hurry, but I can't move what my body thinks because of the loss of magic.

"Aldi!"

Having heard that voice, did Ardy understand the intent or pull Armando's leg again? Armando's movements stopped for a moment under the influence, and I managed to make it, and I pop the flam that was about to rise.

Moments, a severe pain runs on my back and several shocks run on my head. That's where my consciousness was interrupted when my vision blurred and my father and mother's desperate face rushed away.
