Vivi says in surprise at Morphy's words.
"The guy the deputy was capturing, no, because the deputy was a zombie. You mean the guy who called himself the Demon King left him?
"No, protect the deputy for once..."
Unfortunately, I couldn't protect you. Because I had already become a zombie.
Capturing a zombie-turned deputy feels most right as a word.
But the deputy is the victim. I don't want to use the word captive. Pick a few words.
"I have confirmed when I take my deputy to Wang Capital. The house was empty."
"Hmm?
"If anyone had been captured by a jailer in the first place, they'd be just dead without water"
"Momo!
Morphy runs out. He then cleverly opened the lid of the large wooden container with his nose.
"Wow, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
There was a skinny demonic child inside wearing blurry clothes.
Her hair is also blurred and she has a strange odor. He looks about his age between Tom and Kei.
Morphy is sniffing the smell of such a child.
"You don't have to be scared. You lived here?
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll be right out, sorry."
I'm terribly frightened. I'm glad it wasn't Fem who brought him here.
Many strangers are afraid of femmes.
"I'm hungry. Right. You should still eat this."
"It will be cold. Keep this on."
Me and Vivi were moving at about the same time.
Vivi offers the treat he had. I'll put on the robe I was wearing.
Hungry and frozen children must be protected.
"Huh?
"Don't worry, you can eat."
So Nico and Vivi laugh gently.
"Thank you, thank you"
The child ate sweets and bulk.
"Tell me if it's cold."
"Thank you. It's warm. Was it amazing? Thank you."
The child thanks again and again. Morphy was humming such a child with his nose tip.
After giving him sweets and water to calm him down, Vivi asks.
"Well, what were you doing here?
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
"No, don't worry, I'm not angry and I won't scold you"
……
Kids look up to us like they're scared.
"What's your name? Do you have any parents?
"I'm called Tanto. I don't have any parents."
Then Tanto, frightened, explained to me.
"Eh, it's snowing..."
Tanto without a house ate garbage, while apparently living under abandoned houses, etc.
But it snowed and it was so cold that I came to a well-made barn.
I'm pretty sure it's warmer than an abandoned house.
"Plus if you put it in the crate, you can't even keep the wind out of it."
"Go in on your own, I'm sorry"
"I don't mind that. Follow me later. Let's get a decent place to stay."
"Huh...?
You look a little frightened by my words. You suspect they bought us.
So much so that we must have survived a harsh situation.
So to reassure you, say it gently.
Don't worry, we're not buying people.
"... Yes"
Words alone can't be trusted. You can reassure him later with your actions.
"Vivi, do what you have to do and we'll be right back."
"You got it!
Me and Vivi decided to strengthen the hut, which was our original purpose.
And Morphy leans softly next to Tanto. Leave it to Morphy and you'll be safe.
"It's only natural that you can't get away from inside, but you have to make sure you can't get away from the outside."
"Right!
"For once, we need to keep our defenses tight so they don't kill us with our mouths sealed."
"So it's cold, it's fire resistant, right?
"Yes, yes."
One of the easiest ways to put it together and seal your mouth would be to light a fire.
It's easy to make it look like an accident.
You might consider freezing to death if that becomes impossible.
Frozen death is also easy to blame for poor management. It's convenient for what you want to seal your mouth.
"If there were any more masterminds, it would be."
"I think Al is too attentive."
With that said, Vivi carved out the magic formations for me.
In the meantime, Morphy leans next to Tanto all the time.
Tanto was scared of Morphy at first too, but I guess he got used to it one by one.
I began to gently stroke my back.
Vivi, who finished carving the magic formation, says with his throat and face.
"What do you say?
"Excellent"
I magically attach keys to the entrance, too.
Magically reinforced his defenses.
"Now it's harder to get him out of jail, not only from the inside, but from the outside."
"What if!
Morphy also stood up and canned the corner into the cage of the barn to confirm his strength.
I'll also make the keys for you when the deputy arrives. You should leave the keys with the Alliance Master.
I checked again one last time and the work was done.
