Chapter 11: Girl of Destiny!!
About two hours had already passed since they left walking behind the giant demon, but the reality was that they did not advance much. The giant demon was very fast, so they rested for a few minutes, which were enough for the demon to leave sight.
Kijiro turned his gaze slightly to appreciate the emaciated little girl he rescued a few hours ago. Honestly, apart from the imminent beauty of this tender face, there is nothing; it is seriously very strange that he does not speak.
Kijiro spoke: —Hello, I think we rested enough. "Let's move forward then," he said with a kind voice, trying to make the strange girl move forward a little further.
The girl heard the boy who rescued her speak and spoke. "My name is Aurora," she said suddenly in a weak voice, almost a whisper, but loud enough to be heard by Kijiro.
Kijiro was a little startled when he heard the little girl speak, and he clearly heard a name: Aurora. That's her name.
Kijiro looked closely at the girl, and this time he had to see her from head to toe. He has some really bad suspicions about the girl's identity, and he hopes they're not right or he's screwed.
Kijiro spoke: —Aurora, that's a nice name, and tell me..." (He stopped for a few seconds and asked, —Have you ever picked up a rusty sword that appeared out of nowhere? — He said calmly on the outside, but inside he is in many problematic thoughts.
Aurora heard a good compliment about her name and blushed a little, but she reacted quickly upon hearing the question asked by Kijiro and answered without delay. "Yes, one day a sword appeared when I was fighting some bad men who wanted to hurt me in an alley, and I took it, then... I..." he said weakly and with fear evident in his voice as well as in his entire body expression.
*Kijiro heard Aurora's response and was paying very close attention, but then he was surprised to see her acting scared and not wanting to continue with what she was about to reveal. Honestly, I already had prior knowledge of what the girl had done. Kijiro thought: —According to the novel, this girl is the heroine who will marry the prince she meets at the academy, and later it was revealed that she was a homeless orphan. Then some drunk guys wanted to take it, but fortunately a strange sword appeared out of nowhere, and when she took it in her hands, a thirst for blood came out, causing her to kill the three adult men, and that left her marked. End of reflecting.
Kijiro spoke: —There is no need for you to tell me. Really, each one must keep the secrets that link them to the past, but that will not prevent me from protecting you and loving you," he said with astonishing seriousness.
Hearing the boy's resolute words, Aurora felt a chilling sensation running through a part of my heart, and she also knew that for some inexplicable reason she trusted this boy she met a few hours ago...
Aurora spoke. "Thank you, Kijiro," she said with a soft voice full of love and trust.
Kijiro heard the girl's sudden gratitude and felt a little embarrassed as he had thoughts that he didn't want to have her; after all, he has no interest in being involved in the plot, but it can go wrong.
Kijiro spoke: —Don't thank me, Aurora; let's keep walking or tell me if you have any other plans. — He said calmly, seeing the girl's expression, but shortly after he remembered something and asked, —Do you feel any strange sensations? Do you think we should follow him?—he said with a serious voice, looking directly at the girl.
*Kijiro remembered that the girl, after the giant demon passed, Aurora simply walked a few more hours and found several powerful things, in addition to food and water. As a child of fate, she was saved after wanting to eat meat and was adopted by a kind passing nobleman.
Aurora was too startled to hear that she really felt that strange feeling that Kijiro wrote to her and spoke excitedly. -Yeah! I feel sorry for me! Kijiro I'm sorry! This feeling is inside me!—she said excitedly, and her voice raised.
Kijiro let out a heavy sigh internally and relaxed. He no longer had worries about survival; just let this little girl follow the strange sensation, and they will be saved.
Without speaking more, they quickly moved towards the girl's strange feeling and soon observed an ancient tree with an open grave, where Aurora fell and fortunately found several gold treasures and a magical storage box in the shape of a red ring with a ruby at the same time. Opening it, he saw a size of twenty by twenty meters, completely filled with food and drinking water...
Kijiro rarely showed emotions of reluctance, and this time was no exception, because he knew beforehand what they were about to encounter or, rather, Aurora would encounter, and therefore he was not very surprised.
Aurora spoke Ha, ha, ha! Look at this! I'm great!—she exclaims excitedly.
Kijiro heard Aurora's excited exclamation and let her enjoy. After all, now they won't be hungry, much less thirsty.
Without saying anything, he approached the piece of bread that Aurora took out of the ring and ate it, chewing slowly, enjoying the taste of the bread that was the first bread he had eaten in all his time in this world.
Feeling Aurora's penetrating gaze on his back, he stopped eating with the unchewed food still in his mouth and saw that the girl was looking at him with very strange eyes, as if still seeing an idiot.
Aurora spoke: —You're already eating... wow, wow. he said calmly, but his eyes said something else.
Kijiro swallowed hard and almost choked on the bread, so tapping his chest lightly to make it go down, he spoke. — I'm eating first to make sure they aren't poisoned and you don't die. "After all, I will always take care of you," he said with a serious and firm voice. He also didn't forget to stick out his chest and pat it a little to appear more trustworthy in the girl's eyes.
