"Did you trample the debt and run away?
"Yes, Mr. Alphonse.Looks like I used to work in a workshop in the wall, but there was a guy in the ghetto who said he had a huge debt. "
"... can you escape?They'll come after you for the debt. "
"That's how many people live in slums.I'm surprised you can't find it.
"Hmm, but you're sure about your arm, right?
"Maybe. I always said I had the best arm in Orient."
Is it true?
When I asked if I could get a craftsman from the favela, Kiku had an idea.
But apparently someone with a reason.
Someone seems to have created a huge debt, trampled it down and fled.
"I know him too, Alphonse."
"Does Hannah know?"
"Yes, he was originally a serious and good person.But my only family daughter got sick and said she needed money to cure it. "
"So you owe me money?
"That's right. However, she bought the medicine with the money she borrowed and gave it to her and it didn't heal.So, I looked for medicine to help me with my illness and tried various other medicines, but it didn't seem to work after all.After that, he ran away without paying his debts. "
"That's right. That's why we occasionally feed the orphans."
I see. Well, can you ask him to come to this Vulcan village?
Maybe it's okay.You might want to make sure you're still there. "
A debt-ridden craftsman.
As far as Kiku and Hannah are concerned, they are in debt for their families.
I hear that many slum dwellers basically don't interfere deeply with others.
Even so, when I hear that the orphans were given food, I think that the roots may not be so bad.
"What do you think, Christina?
"A craftsman in debt.Doesn't it depend where you owe money and who's trying to get it out of him now?
"If I were to bring this man to Vulcan, the debt collection would come this far?
"I think it's possible.But in a way, it might be easy to understand.They might come to this village on the condition that they pay off their debts or accept them with good treatment. "
I see.
Do you offer an exchange condition?
Then there is a possibility that you will come quietly.
The rest depends on your arm, but you'll be fine.
At least if you had worked in a workshop in Orient Country, you'd be more skilled than anyone in this village making magic tools.
"All right, let's go find him.Kiku and Hannah, can you show us around?
"I see. Leave it to me, Mr. Alphonse."
So I went back to the ghetto looking for that debt-ridden craftsman.
"It's been a long time since I've been here.I lived here a while ago. "
We came to the Glades.
That's what Kik says as he screams around.
You must be nostalgic about a year after you left this place.
Still, this place looks familiar.
Speaking of this, he continued to wander through the swarmed ghetto.
Nevertheless, this place remains the same.
No, maybe it's because we came here by ourselves.
The chasers appeared before us as we went further into the ghetto.
Several people are approaching to surround them.
I've defeated the men I attacked before, but this time I'll leave them to them.
Kiku and Hannah would never have fought them before.
As an orphan located at the bottom of this favela, he lived secretly and discreetly.
But not now.
Defeat the adults who attacked you.
"... did you win?Master Alphonse, did you see it?I beat an adult. "
"Of course. I'm trained for Eye.I don't want you to lose to such a nerdy opponent, Kik.But you did well. "
"Yes, thank you.... yeahh. I'm getting stronger. "
Kiku is delighted to defeat an approaching adult with a sword.
Speaking of which, I've only been training in Balkan villages.
I didn't actually fight, and it may have been difficult to realize that I have become stronger until now.
This may be a good experience.
Well, I don't want you to be satisfied if you beat someone like this.
There are so many stronger ones.
By the way, Hannah seems to have more surprises than joy.
I'm surprised you didn't think you could beat an adult.
Apparently Hannah doesn't like to fight much, but she still feels powerful enough.
"Ah, I can see it.This is the house, Mr. Alphonse.Hey, old man. Is he here?Come out. "
In doing so, it appears to have reached its destination.
Continuing deep into the favela, this old house is twisted and bent many times.
Kiku is banging on the door of the house with his fist.
Are you all right?
Too much slapping is likely to tilt the whole house by the door.
"Oh, come on, please.Are you going to destroy the house of the handicapped?... oh, it's been a long time.You're Kiku. Is that Hannah?If you hadn't seen it recently, you wouldn't be alive. "
A man came out of the house as soon as he could not help being destroyed by such a brutal visit.
A rather tall man looks at Kiku and Hannah and smiles nicely.
Apparently, being kind to children is true.
This is how I met a debt-ridden artisan named Galius.
