He wants me to buy a slave from this vigilante pimp.
"I don't have enough money to buy a slave."
"... You'd better have more conversations with me in the future."
"Thanks."
"What kind of slave would you like?"
"I didn't think... One that won't talk along the way and won't bother me."
"So you want that elf slave?"
"So it fits the definition, why not?"
"All right, come this way."
The elf took the slave out of his cage and brought him to me. It looks better than the previous time, but it could also be an illusion. She's still looking at me with those empty eyes.
'I don't like those eyes...'
"Bring your hand."
"Here."
He cut off my hand and after reading a hymn, he started rubbing my cut hand on the elf's chest.
'Her skin is dry, she probably doesn't eat regularly.'
"ARGHHHHH!!!!"
The elf suddenly started screaming and collapsed to the ground.
"A few months from now I will go to the world kingdom, let Oak be found in it."
"Thanks."
"... Words don't feed you."
"Did you say something?"
"No, safe travels."
I think it seemed to me, where should I go? I'm definitely not going to Diana country, I don't want to die again.
That's why I have to go to the kingdom of Ceres. Of course, I have to go to the Eastern kingdom of Ceres. West Ceres is a little troubled.
I've already left the city, and I think my master was wrong. It did not go as far as the king's ears, or he did not care. I turned around and saw the Elf again staring at the ground with hollow eyes.
I need to let it go. I only took him with me so that I could get rid of the kingdom. But why do I feel the need to help against him.
'Why?'
I don't know it. If I die again, it will be reset again and all my benefits will be wasted. And then I'm going to help again? I don't know. I have to listen to my heart, but I'm tired of it. Then what am I supposed to do.
'Even though it's sad for me, I have to help, maybe it will help...'
I hugged the elf and sat him next to me, there was no reaction. No objections, no objections. What is the difference from a doll in this form, I wonder?
"You don't have to look at the ground with empty eyes, look at the sky with empty eyes so that your eyes are happy."
I glanced at the elf out of the corner of my eye, but there was no reaction.
'I think I spoke against the wall...'
Hours later I looked at the elf again and he was looking up at the sky. I guess I didn't speak against the wall.
After about 4-5 hours, the horse began to get tired. We also moved well away from the city. There probably won't be any problems.
I got off the horse slowly and tied his saddle to a tree.
"Thank you, now rest well."
The horse probably didn't understand what I was saying, but he started sleeping.
My toilet came too, I've been holding it for about 8 hours. If only you'd given me time to go to the bathroom after I finished training.
I made my toilet in a distant tree and saw that the elf was also trembling strangely. I think she's got the toilet, too.
I hugged him again and took him to a remote place to do his toilet. I don't want to think about such a strange thing anymore. He made his toilet and we went back to the horse.
It's a little cold, so I lit a fire. The horse also got a little scared when it saw the fire, but I calmed him down. I don't have a sleeping bag, so we have to sleep in the open.
I leaned my body against the tree, and the horse also slept next to me, I feel his breath in my arms. And the elf is leaning his head against me, I don't know if he's asleep or awake. Although I am the one who put him in this situation, she hesitated a little, but in the end he did not resist.
I don't know what kind of torture he went through to get to this state. She looks like she's sleeping.
I wonder, when will I be able to sleep peacefully? Every time I sleep peacefully, I wake up with nightmares.
I'm sleepy too, but I need to stay awake against the monster attack.
I don't know how many hours have passed, I want to sleep a lot, but the monsters that hunt at night in the area where we are are more than usual.
'Stay awake a little longer... A little more.'
I've been stroking the Elf's head since night, and I have to admit, it feels beautiful. I can't see the moon in the sky anymore, the sun will probably rise in a few hours.
My thoughts are very blurred. I just understand what's going on around. I'm probably half asleep and half awake.
"ah! It's already daytime."
And it's probably 9 o'clock or something. It is now very easy for me to understand the time from the position of the sun.
It looks like the horse has already woken up.
"I think I slept towards morning"
When I tried to hold the elf in my arms, I realized something. Tears are streaming from his eyes.
I wiped it gently with my hand and put it back in the car. She looks like he woke up from a concussion.
We quickly set off back. I wonder if the kingdom has taken out a picture of my face? You know what they were doing to these wanted criminals, I think they would do something similar to him.
"Grruulll!"
Sounds began to come from my stomach, there is a place like a village nearby. I'll get the ingredients and make them myself.
Now that I think about it, the elf doesn't have many teeth in his mouth, he probably can't eat anything solid. So I have to make something like a stew and I have to chop all the ingredients little by little. How troublesome.
We got to the city in half an hour and got in very easily. I bought the necessary materials for 3 silver and we left the city back. I don't need to pay the entrance fee because I'm registered with the adventurers guild.
I collected branches that could burn or something and came back.
'How nostalgic...'
I miss the atmosphere here.
'It's really nice.'
I gave a few of the carrots I bought to the horse and collapsed next to a tree.
'I'm sleepy, I wonder if I'm going to die again? I have an elf slave with me, and if they see it, they will attack without listening. As if they had listened to it the previous time!'
Why is life so difficult?
"Bubbling bubbling bubbling (A: Doesn't boiling water make a sound called bubbling? E:Yes?)"
It's like boiling water. I'd better put the supplies in.
It's like the elf is looking at me, but with those eyes, it's hard to tell if she's looking at me or the air.
After a couple of hours, dinner was ready and we started eating, but when I put the soup in the elf's hand, he did nothing. When I finished my own meal, she wasn't doing anything again.
She looks at his food in silence.
'That must be the mental breakdown... Probably my downfall is also not far off.'
If I continue to die, I will break away from my self at some point.
I opened and closed my hand. It was a meaningless thing, but I don't have the mental health to look for meaning either.
When I saw that the elf still hadn't eaten, I tried to feed him myself, and strangely enough she ate his food.
'Her throat is dry, most of his teeth are missing, part of his tongue has been cut off.'
I know that elves have a high healing factor and life energy, but this is really too much for a living being. I hope that after recovery, he will regain his former health.
We finished our meal and the elf's face looked more like a living thing. It probably seems that way to me.
"... What am I supposed to do with this food?
It makes the most sense to take it with me, but do I have to bring it here every time to warm it up? If I ask the innkeeper, would he do it?
The most logical thing would be for me to bring this with me... I'm out of money, you know. I think I need to hunt some monsters.
I hunted 2 goblins and 1 horned rabbit on the way. This is the most because we are close to the city.
I arrived in the city and handed over to the adventurers guild the monsters I hunted. After receiving the money, I took a room at the inn and settled in. since I have a room with 2 beds, there is not much trouble.
It was almost noon now, and I don't even know what I should do. I looked at the elf on my left. She was sitting in bed. It seems as if he is gathering strength to heal his wounds.
Well, I don't really want to carry a dead weight with me. I put the water I bought from the innkeeper next to the elf.
"If you're thirsty, you can drink it, it's there in the toilet. I'm leaving, I'll be back in a few hours."
After I said what I was going to say, I left the room and left the city to hunt monsters. I brought the horse cart with me because it's important to transport corpses, an orc corpse in full pieces costs about 1 silver.
My current goal will be to put the most expensive parts of the orcs in the car, but the only part of the orcs that makes money is their testicles and oil. Orc oil is a very used ingredient in cooking. And his testicles are an object that creates an aphrodisiac effect for women, I think.
At least that's what I've heard from the Guild. So if I say I don't have much of a choice, that's the place. A pair of orc testicles goes to 20 coppers.(A: I may have said bronze in the previous sections. I'm too lazy to look.)
of the orcs that weigh 180 kilos, about 70 kilos are fat. If I say that muscle and fiber tissues are not very useful, November is the place. At least I didn't hear much.
I saw an orc and got out of the carriage. I quietly approached from behind the orc and, adding creeping steps and weight to his calves, I gave him a hard kick, he groaned and fell to the ground clutching his leg, this event happened in half a second and by the time the orc got rid of the pain and tried to look for my place, it was too late.
I gave him a nice kick to the head and I tried a little bit to get him to die. I loaded the orc's body into the car.
"It looks like it will fill up faster than I expected."
1/3 of the car is already full. It looks like I'll win 9 silver in 3 hours by doing go come.
And as I said, after winning 12 silvers in total, I returned to the inn. After getting a light stone and some things, I went back to the inn.
The elf was sitting on the bed again, but she had drunk some water and the toilet door was not in its former position. I left the toilet door open on purpose, but now it's closed.
'I think she's curable, even if she's damaged she knows what he needs to do for her basic needs.'
I took 1-2 medicines and vitamin supplements I bought at the pharmacy and forced them to eat.
"cough cough!!"
"..."
I wonder if she reacts like this because there are mana-enhanced drugs?
"If it's stuck in your throat, drink some more water. I'm going to heat up dinner. I'll be right back"
I asked the innkeeper to heat the food, but I managed to heat it for 2 coppers.
'Stingy fellow.'
And I brought the rest with me. We ate, and since it was evening, I tried to feel the meaning in my room.
'I really need to do this thing but it's so hard.'
It's like asking me to feel every molecule of oxygen. On top of that, these mana things are mixed up everywhere. I need to sort these out and put them together.
It's like playing with lego but you don't know where the lego pieces are.
'Come on... Where is this mana?'
The longer I stay like this, the more I despair...
It's like I'm running through a long forest, but I can't get to an open area. Every time I move forward, the forest becomes more and more dense, and I can no longer see the sky.
An absolute darkness and nothingness... Every time I try to understand the meaning, I get even more desperate and sit idly for hours.
"Meaningless."
I quietly opened my eyes and saw that I was still in the inn. It was already dark and I see the Moon at the top.
'I wonder how many hours it's been?'
The city was quiet, and I hung my hand out of the window and quietly watched the city and the stars.
'I wouldn't have seen this in my old world.'
I'm happy to see such a beautiful scene, but the brighter a scene is, the greater its darkness. And I've already stopped counting how many times I've proven the truth of this saying.
'The slaves, the dungeons, the desperate cries of Decaying people outside the cities, the absurd gulf between the races.
I'm already used to it now, I went back to my bed without thinking any more, and I saw that the elf was quietly watching me again.
"Do you want to watch too?"
He didn't answer, but she seemed to shake his head slightly. Tuesday. So I picked him up and supported her to watch the scenery.
