Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime
[Outside] The Darkness of Wang Du (Middle)
"Maybe this is it. I don't know what a human building is.
Under his coat covering his entire body, Gi poisons one person. I hope I headed to the orphanage I heard earlier at the tavern, but I had a lot of trouble getting there. From Gi, who grew up in White Forest, all the human buildings look similar if there is no difference between the bungalow and the royal palace. Even more so at night.
The orphanage I found so painstakingly was a two-story wooden building with some season in it, but nothing strange if just the exterior. Much away from the pleasure district, you can't hear any of the hustle and bustle earlier.
Gi first checks the position of the entry-like wooden door and hides herself in the shade of the position where it can be seen.
"Now, how did you find out?"
Mumbling so in her mouth alone, Gi turns her thoughts around. Care must be taken when entering the beast's lair. Even in human society, Gi had predicted that it would probably be the same around it.
In fact, just revealing that Gi is a national guest elf and giving out Milan's name is mostly a face pass, but Gi can't help but understand his position well.
As we worked out how to get into the tiger hole, the entrance door inadvertently opened. Gi pulls herself back, kills her breath and watches how it goes. Gi has a pretty good night's eye, so he detects the identity of the person who came out as soon as possible.
"Is that it? Aren't you a kid? Why are you here at this hour?
I was wondering what kind of guy would come out, but it was like he was just a young kid coming out of the building. I have a big box so that I can hold it, and I obviously haven't caught it with my physique. In that way, you won't see the front or anything.
"Yikes!"
The advice, stepping off the entrance steps, the child fell with screams and smashed the contents. As soon as the child stood up, he dragged his legs, crawling and gathering scattered objects. The way it is, it looks as if something is chasing you.
"Ugh... it hurts."
"Do you want to help?
"Hih!?
When the seemingly gi rang from behind, the child was surprised enough to jump up and held her head to protect herself with both hands.
"Oh, I'm sorry! Don't hit me!
"Hey, I'm nothing suspicious...... No, I'm suspicious. Anyway, I'm not going to hurt you. Don't worry."
When I think calmly, I'm dressed in a jacket that hides things from my eyes, so I'm suspicious. Gi sighed, shifting the cloth on her mouth to show her all her face. No matter, keep your pointy ears hidden.
The kid in front of me was a girl who wasn't even old yet. Around the age, it's the same as Serene or a little under. Thin, dirty, crude outfit, originally blonde, but thinly dirty, shrunk and tangled.
Although the girl was still wary of Gi, she crouched down and showed her face, so she told her that there was no hostility, and she opened her horrible mouth.
"Brother, who is it?
"You can have anyone. More than that, am I supposed to collect this guy?
"Uh, oh, yeah"
Thus, the girl and Gi gather their baggage scattered along the road. If you look closely, it's not luggage, it's probably a pile of garbage that came out of cleaning, such as paper scraps and rags, but it weighs a lot when you pack it in a box. When Gi picks up most of the scattered garbage and re-packs it in the box, Gi speaks to the girl again.
"Why are you doing this at this hour?"
"My teacher told me to throw away the garbage."
"That's not what I meant. Why is a little guy like you walking outside in the middle of the night? I wish I could throw away the garbage in the morning."
From Gi's point of view, it doesn't make any sense anymore. I would never if I were an elf, such as letting a child walk alone in the woods at night. If there were an adult who would order that, he would make it octopus beating all over the settlement, and Gi, the chief of the clan, would get into that circle as well.
"People are coming today, so they told me not to clean it while I'm at it. Besides, I'm the only one who's free. Your sister, uh... it's your job."
"Don't you have a sister? So, what's a job?
"Well, you know, the guy in your room is a bad guy. I don't know the details."
"…… No, I think I got it."
The material of concern anticipated in the gi takes on more and more shape. And in a bad way. Nevertheless, it is still only fragmentary information. We need to get more information.
"Hey, brother"
"………… What?"
"Will you shut the fuck up about now?
"Why are you?
"If I tell you something weird, the teacher will hit me..."
Gi lifts her eyes when she hears that. The girl is frightened by Gi, who creates a swordswallowing atmosphere, but regardless, Gi reaches out from above the girl as she is -.
"Hip!"
The girl shrinks herself and prevents her head with both hands. Oddly enough, these things are happening on a daily basis around the speed of the operation. But it feels different than I expected, and it spreads to the girl's head.
"Huh?
As Gi reached for his head, he brutally stroked his head. Unlike Serene's grey hair, which glides over her fingers, this girl's hair tangles in her fingers like a wild dog. Kneeling in front of the girl looking up at Gi strangely, Gi gazes at the girl again.
"You, you know a guy named Milan?
"Yeah. You're a prince. There's no one in this country you don't know."
"I see. Then you talk fast. I'm his friend."
"What!?
This seems just as surprising, the girl rounds her eyes.
"Really? Well, let me see the evidence."
"I don't care if they call it evidence......... oh, can I have this one?
With that said, Gi took the sachet out from under his coat. For a small bag, there is a great deal of money in it, but what matters is the bag itself.
"Ah, it looks like the prince is wearing it."
"Did this fit, after all? What do you think? Did you trust him?
"Yeah. That's the only guy the Kings should use."
The girl finally seems to have lifted her guard against the inexperienced young man - Gi, with a relieved look. When Gi went from the White Forest to the land of man, he remembered the same pattern behind his bear bee kimono and on the carriage picking him up.
"My name is Gi. Little one, what's your name?"
"Aisha"
"Aisha? I know about this cozine, but can you tell me something?
"Yes, you can't. If you talk, you'll be pissed off! Brother. You know the prince, don't you? When people like that come, they say you can't talk about us..."
Gi wrinkles between her brows. At this point in time, it is almost certain that the interior is not even thick. If this orphanage were to protect Aisha, I would speak with more pride.
Or so I didn't feel like questioning Aisha any more. Because hunting down a child of an injured animal is the most abominable thing for Gi.
"Okay. I don't ask you anymore. In the meantime, clean the garbage."
"Oh, that..."
"Don't worry about it. You just have to dump this guy."
Gi gently lifted the trash bin he had earlier assembled. Sometimes Aisha can't carry it by herself, and she obeys Gi very much. Throwing the contents straight into Aisha's designated dumpster, Gi sends Aisha to the front of the orphanage while holding an empty dumpster aside.
"Gi, thank you very much, brother"
"Well, instead of thanking me, help me out a little bit. That's not a bad story."
"Eh?"
Quick as I can tell, Gi grabs Aisha's arm with the hands of the empty one and walks straight into the building. It's almost dark inside. The lamps placed everywhere illuminate the area blurred, and there is only so much light that I can at least tell where the object is.
"Hey, you're late! How long has it been hanging!
From behind the hallway, footsteps are heard along with a frustrating voice. Aisha trembled frighteningly just that, and unwittingly hid behind Gi. Gi has nothing to be frightened of at all, and looks to the Lord of his voice.
What emerged from the back was a little fat middle-aged man. This man in his crude clothes is apparently what Aisha calls a "teacher".
"Hey, you're pretty sure this is Cozine, right?
"What are you? You want to pick up the kid? I'm sorry to hear that, but the kids we keep are only half a serving. I haven't learned how to give it to people yet. Why don't you hit the other one?"
You mistook Gi for the person who came to pick up the orphan, answering in a somewhat calmer tone than you were yelling earlier. Gi is irritated by the change, but he hides it except in the eye area, so he doesn't know the expression from the target.
"It's not a pick up. I want to buy this little one overnight."
"Huh?"
"So he's saying he wants to buy this little one overnight."
"What, buy it? Me?"
Both the man and Aisha looked like they were flashing for a moment, but the man quickly distorted his face. "I want to buy" instead of "pick it up" is like a cipher in this place. This was the information the woman leaked earlier in the tavern.
"No, but I don't. I guess I'm just too little. Hate, you're taking a good quality guy tonight."
"Let it go. You just have to pay the money."
Just not wanting to hear any more of the ugly man's words, Gi turned the bag of nostalgia upside down, trying not to show the pattern of the Great Eagle. Various gold coins, large and small, are scattered across the ground. To the sight, the man grates and Aisha rounds his eyes. The man picks up a large piece of gold and opens his mouth gently, even as he ascends.
"Isn't this a royal gold coin!? Why do you have so many of these!?
"Whatever you want. That's all I have now. Enough?"
Nothing is enough, and the amount of money Gi smashed is unusual. Instead of buying one child overnight, there is an amount of money you can buy one house at a time if you do poorly. The man picks up the gold coin that rolls in front of him, desperately like a feeding pig.
"Are you some great guy? Is that why you're covering your whole body?"
"…… that's the place."
The man seemed to hate (no) and suddenly took out a demeaning attitude, which in turn strokes Gi's nerves, but on the surface he pretended to be calm.
"Then let me use this guy quickly. You have a room, don't you?
"There is. It's just that there's a whole magic room, so can we just go in the back of the ground floor?
"Between magic? What the hell?
"There's a magic door upstairs. Look, you're getting high money, but if you see a gap in the act and you get away with it, it shrivels. It's like an escape prevention cage, but the little one won't get away with it, and I'll be waiting at the entrance."
While we talked about that, a man with two hands holding gold led the way, leading Gi and Aisha to a room at the bottom of the ground floor. It doesn't seem to be very sunny, and the smell makes Gi smile.
Enjoy yourself, then. The man left. Make sure the footsteps stay away and the gi sit on the damp bed.
"Oh, brother, what are you going to do now?
I don't really understand what I'm going to do, but Aisha watched many times the children taken with the money come home crying all the time. So Aisha shuddered herself that her turn had finally come.
"Don't be so frightened. I told you it wasn't a bad story."
"……… Huh?
"Because you don't talk, I hung my balls on that fat dad, but you went surprisingly light."
It was also painful to question Aisha, and even if you asked an internal adult directly, he would just be appropriately teased. That's what Gi thought, and he said, "Buy Aisha."
- Here Gi finally understood why Serene sent herself. This girl is as good as Serene. And Serene has been forced to live an unusual life ever since she was a little girl. He wants to save those of his age who can be abused, and he thinks so.
Plus, I know why you didn't bring Zana. If she had known that a child with the same surname was being treated like this, Zana might have suddenly been beaten up. Considering that, it is certainly the best solution to move alone.
"Well, can you tell me again? That fat guy's gone to the entrance, and there's nobody here but me and you. So tell me more."
"Brother, are you going to help me?
"Yeah, I told you earlier. I'm a friend of the Prince of this country, the Holy Prince of Milan. So don't worry."
"Holy Prince..."
To show that he was tattooed by the powerful of this country, Gi gave the name of the Holy Prince Milan. It's really Serene's request, but Princess Moonlight is only what the elves call it, not what the humans call it. Besides, Gi doesn't know how much authority Serene has. That's why I pretended to be the wind of Milan's request.
But even when I heard the name of the Holy Prince, Aisha's expression was only cloudy, and there was no expression of joy.
