I want to protect you in this hand.

Arsh, 11 years old, 11 months.

"Okay, I'll be there"

"You guys are really free now. Normal luggage is not moving."

"'Cause they're dispatching me everywhere."

"When you say that, well, Cece is warm, but watch your body"

"" "" Yes!

For starters, three days to Merche. Cyril and Will ride carriages at adventurer discounts that also serve as escorts. Me and Mal are customers. The slightly lingering greenery was also cold, but I climbed on to the Merche enjoying the clear air of the early winter. Greeting the guild chief, he organised the tea purchases Dan had asked for and immediately traveled to Cece. Cece is a three-day carriage south of Merche. The strange journey, which gradually warms up even though it is winter, finally ends through the arid zone on the second day.

With sand all over us, we headed to the guild first. Walk after Cyril and Will, holding hands with Mal. He asked me to introduce him to the inn at the guild.

"Even where it's cheap, it's 3,000 gills a night. If I had your sister, it wouldn't be easy to sleep with the fish."

"Huh? No, it's okay..."

"Can you handle it? Then I'll introduce you to just the right place. You're an adventurer, and you're going to make good money tomorrow."

And I was encouraged.

An increasingly sympathetic gaze pierces us opening our mouths with pokans.

"You don't have a parent, I can't believe you're an adventurer with a sister."

"Did I introduce you to the right place?

"It's a cheap, tasty woman's place."

"You'll be fine over there."

Hurry up and fly out of the guild, face to face.

"Nothing is wrong. She's my sister, she's an orphan, she's an adventurer, she's kind."

"But something's different."

"I can't wait for something."

Weird ones, uncut ones, that luggage carriers aren't going on a journey, you mean? Kids don't travel. Do you mean the child who does? Anyway, let's head to the inn.

"Welcome! Oh, adventurer, sister, what's wrong with your parents, no? Are you okay with the inn bill? You can pay in advance, well, later. How about a room for four, then I'll show my daughter around, Jessica!

"Yes."

"Adventurer, show me upstairs to the four-man room."

"Yes, go ahead"

"I'm Jessica, I'm 11. What about you guys?

"" Eleven ""

"You're a jerk! Hey, you can play a little in the evening, why don't you go play later?. I'll show you the harbor, okay? My brothers are with me."

"" Okay?

"Fine, are we good too?"

"Fine, I'll call you later. Yes, here. Can we have dinner at night and in the morning? The dining room is where you eat."

"Thanks"

The room for four was small but clean. Now 3,000 gills a night is not a bad idea. As soon as I was resting, I picked him up.

"Wah, the ocean!

"Ship!

"It smells like the sea"

"Is this your first time in port?

"Yeah, I'm from Merrill. Because it's a mountain."

"I've come a long way. If you're still here, I can teach you how to fish."

"Really? Yay!

"Oh, hey, guys, I'm a guest at the inn. I've been here a while, so I played."

"Ooh, where are you guys from? Adventurer? Wow, we're helping out in the harbor."

Say hello.

"Hey, let's go see the boat."

"" Yeah!

Thus, thanks to Jessica, I quickly became acquainted with Cece. Get up early in the morning, train in the guild, have breakfast, go to the dungeon, get up early and play with Jessica and everyone. Even Cyril and Will played and fished with everyone in the evening. That's normal life, but it wasn't normal. No one knows who they are. He's just an orphan, an adventurer's brother and sister. I was just a child. There was freedom there.

"Oh, it hurts."

"Hey, I'm sorry, were you okay?

"It's okay, what about you?

"It's hectic, bye!

……

Cece has an orphan, too.

I was aware. Every day when we head to the guild, the little children who drop off the luggage orphans, the children who head to the demolition station, the children who return from the guild, who buy black bread looking important and go home, the children who wait happily ever after.

"I was letting it go..."

"Same as the Mars four years ago..."

"You guys are good because your brother is an adventurer, but those kids are big kids and they're 11."

"How many are there?

"Right now, about 10 people, here, Merche and Merrill are friends with the guild chief, and I'm hiring an orphan at the demolition station, which is pretty good."

"You can't make a lot of money."

"Everyone wants to do something about it, but I don't know what to do, not wealthy."

"Where to live..."

"In the house ahead of the guild."

Cyril squeezes his hand.

"Tomorrow, will you pack up and go with someone else?"

"Cyril, fine, are you taking those kids?

"I'd like to take a look at it."

I can't stay, I'm just a kid anymore.
