"Hey, I'm hungry."
"... yeah, that's right.I'm hungry. "
Walk with my sister on her stomach.
I'm hungry.
I have no food.
I've been thinking about what to do.
We have no parents.
I don't have any relatives I can count on.
We managed to survive because we managed to get close to the food by teaming up with similar children without parents.
But my people failed.
I went to pick up the leftovers from a store.
But it was the territory of another orphan.
I knew that, but it seemed like I went there because I didn't have enough food.
I can't find it just once.
The child, who said such a thing and put his hand on another territory, was lightly beaten up.
There is an implicit rule in the afternoon meal that no one knows who made the decision.
Having broken it, we were deprived of our little territory.
Even though it hasn't been enough, I was able to eat it just because of the territory.
But I was so surprised that I couldn't eat dinner after it disappeared.
This may not be good anymore.
I don't know what to do. I've been worried about that for a long time now.
What I can do for just one sister.
Worst case scenario, even if I sell myself to someone else, I think it's for this kid.
"Hey, onii-chan.Looks like someone's coming over there. "
"Huh? Really?Something's bothering you. "
My sister said as she kept grumbling about things in her head.
Someone's over there.
She dragged her sister in a hurry and waited while hiding in the shade.
Because if a strange guy finds out, he doesn't know what he's looking for.
"Pretty one."
Is that what my sister or I said?
Maybe everyone here thought so.
There was a beautiful woman there who could not be in such a ghetto.
She's an incredible beauty.
The clothes I was wearing were not dirty, there were no marks of fraying, and it felt like I didn't see much of them in this country of origin.
Could it be someone from another country?
There was another one beside such a woman.
It's a little boy.
At first, I could not see hiding in the shadows of people.
However, seeing the beautiful woman step back and move about the boy, it might be like the child's valet.
... completely out of place.
I wonder why these people are out here like ghettos outside these walls.
Isn't it dangerous?
The people who live here are not treated humanly by the people who live in the walls.
That's why some people said that on the contrary, we would be strong.
Sometimes citizens who live in walls get into ghettos and get attacked without thinking.
I look around.
I knew it.
There are people who want to surround the boy and the woman.
It's completely different from a child like us who has no parents trying to scavenge.
That's why some of Gala's bad guys are trying to sell out even one of the other guy's hair and exchange it for money.
"... gone"
The people surrounding them move.
It feels natural, but many men approach them at the same time from the surroundings.
I saw it and put my hand on my sister's body.
Maybe there's a disturbance here.
Make sure you don't get caught up in it, so you can get away right away.
That's why we live without anyone to depend on.
"... eh?
But I didn't know what had happened.
The men approached them.
It should have been a little closer to touching the woman.
And yet, I don't see him.
He's down.
I realized later that five men had fallen on the ground.
I don't know what happened.
But I don't think it was the woman who was about to be attacked.
Maybe it's a boy.
Because at some point the child had a bright red sword in his hand.
It's not good.
That's what my gut tells me when I've managed to live in this dangerous ghetto.
I don't know what's dangerous.
But she's not normal.
That's all I know.
We have to run.
I thought so.
But I couldn't.
I don't think it's just me.
Everyone was paying attention to those two and somehow knew they were about to be attacked.
And yet, at some point, the boys holding the sword and the men who fell down and didn't move.
Normally, people who have lived in this ghetto leave immediately to avoid getting caught up in it.
That was supposed to happen.
But no one could do it.
Kia
My sister raised her voice.
The next moment, everyone around me fell down.
What the hell is going on?
I don't understand the meaning.
I don't know why, but all the people around here are down.
Your body trembles.
... I have to run.
I have to leave this place.
I think so, but my feet are trembling and they don't move at all.
/(adv-to, adv-to) (1) (on-mim) (on-mim) slowly/(2) (on-mim) slowly/
And I met him.
I felt that my eyes and those of the boy were in line with my feet, which had not moved a step, and could not be helped.
I don't think it's my fault.
That's because she's walking towards us.
"Me, run."
I want to praise myself for having managed to move just my mouth.
I told my sister to run away.
But that's all I could do.
My sister could not escape by clinging to my back.
And there came a boy with a bright red sword in front of us who could not leave the scene.
