~： Fourth year story 032, familiar place

Silence echoed in this small cave. The idiot opened the door slightly and scanned the small room. In front of him, standing is Mili with her back facing him. Even though her back is facing, she can still be seen from her shoulder... she is shaking.

The mother did not speak.

The father did not speak either.

The only thing left in the icy room was dead silence and the crackling sound of wood fire burning dry under the stove. The father faced the wall and, except for occasional coughs, never turned his head back to look at his daughter.

"………………I know."

Mili's voice choked...The idiot standing behind her only saw the girl lift up her right hand and wiped her face a few times, then immediately turned around, lowered her head, and passed across him. After thinking about it for a while, the idiot finally turned his head, took the small bread and left with Mili's footsteps, leaving this place that should be called "home"...

——————————————————————————————

Leaving the cave, walking a few steps behind Mili, and after making a few bends in several branch caves, a ray of fading sunlight finally came in from the end of the aisle. The bun who hadn't seen the sun for a while opened his hands immediately after seeing the light, and screamed for joy. She let go of the idiot's hand and ran to the end, taking a big breath to remove the dirty air in the cave.

The thin girl was standing by the guardrail, looking up at the sky. The idiot couldn't see her expression, and naturally couldn't guess what she was thinking. After thinking a little, he could only step forward and stand beside her by holding onto the bread.

"you……"

"Let's go. Well...I'm going to the security team, right?"

The girl suddenly turned her head, but it was a smile for the idiot. She pulled the cloak, used this thin layer of rag to resist the cold wind blowing in the canyon, and started walking along the walkway towards the bottom of the cliff.

Although the architectural structure of Ash City uses the upper and lower structure formed by the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, it seems that it has not escaped the general pattern of other countries on the sad continent in terms of social layout. The bottom of the canyon is an important means of communication with other areas. Needless to say, the magical train is an important means of transportation, such as a large commercial street, or some important government authorities are all here. However, as for the legendary Black Dragon Palace, I didn't see it.

Some elevators along the cliff are moving up and down one after another. However, riding on these elevators is the same as a horse-drawn carriage, and there is a price. Obviously, Mili does not have this spare cash. From beginning to end, she hugged the purse in her arms and walked down the mountain path bit by bit, preparing to head to the other cliff.

"............ Honey pear."

After walking for a while, the idiot suddenly yelled.

The mili in front turned her head, her haggard face looked a little confused. The idiot closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he said, "It's okay to be idle anyway, can you introduce me to the sights of Ash City?"

Mili's brows frowned slightly, she stopped, and when the idiot got to a position next to her, she asked back: "Why?"

"Because I'm here to travel. Even if I lose my wallet, I want to make myself feel as happy as possible."

(Shoo~~~! I can lie very much~~~ Human kid, will this girl introduce you to this city? Interesting.)

The Mili in front lowered her head and thought for a while. But soon, she looked up. It's not surprising that she looks up, but the problem is that the idiot suddenly sees a little brilliance in her eyes? Unlike the dead silence just now, did this girl think of something? What do you suspect? !

The idiot took hold of the bread holding the guardrail and looked down, and took a step back a little later.

"I'll introduce to you... Yes. But I want to ask, are you... really here to travel?"

The idiot nodded.

Suddenly, a smile bloomed on his haggard face! The girl's eyes seemed to have found some savior, and she let out a sigh of relief. This smile...well, even an idiot has to admit that she is really beautiful when she smiles, which is different from Walnut's usual smile. Her smile gave people a mysterious and timid feeling.

"So... can you please... accompany me first...?"

The breeze swept over the cliff, rolling the girl's cloak, and along with the sweeping wind, blowing towards the idiot...

"Come with me... first go to'Worry Girl Bar'... OK?"

The wind blows through the nose of the idiot, bringing a burst of young girl body fragrance...

——————————————————————————————————

After a period of thinking, the idiot immediately agreed. With the idiot's consent, the girl's face showed a smile again. This is a smile of relief, a smile for which I finally found some backing.

The pace of Mili and the idiot quickened, and the long aisle was forgotten in a blink of an eye. As he walked, the idiot asked questions, and Mili also began to introduce the idiot to some of the transportation routes and important locations in Ash City. They crossed the gorge, passed the flyover that crossed the railroad tracks, and finally walked to the other gorge, and started walking towards the "Worry Girl".

The sky gradually began to dim, and the night in the canyon came even more quickly than expected. When the idiot and Mili came to the opposite cliff, the whole gorge was already lit up. If you look down from a high altitude, will you see a shining giant snake winding across the earth?

As the night fell, Mili's words began to decrease. After stepping into a cave passage, she never said anything, just bowed her head and walked forward. For the idiot, it would be nice if she didn't say a word so that he could have enough time to observe the surroundings.

Here... there is a familiar smell.

Although inside the cave, there is an unforgettable "prosperity".

The number of hotels on both sides of the aisle has obviously increased, and the colorful lights can make most people who want to find "joy" fall in love here. In the gap between the aisle and the aisle, some women with almost no clothes on their upper bodies waved to the pedestrians enchantingly, competing for their "guests" with sweet and ecstatic smiles. On the other hand, there are many people walking in groups on the street, and everyone’s waist--

They are all hanging weapons.

very familiar……

The taste here is very familiar...

At that moment, the sewer rat seemed to think of his hometown where he had been "educated" for ten years. In that frozen city, it also had the same familiar smell as here.

Dirty, messy, no rule of law.

Here is the gentle town of the rich, where people can spend money like dirt, walk smartly among women's piles, and then drink wine. On the other hand...

"Damn, no money? If you don't have money, sell your wife to get money!"

A knife fell, and a man's right wrist was severed. The screams of torn throat echoed in this place. The woman screamed and ran away, while the man watched with fun, watching the man holding his severed arm, tears and nose mixed with blood in his mouth, kneeling. A man howling loudly on the ground.

…………No money?

The world without money is actually that simple.

The rules here are often that simple.

——————————————————————————

The faint smell of blood in the air frightened the little bread who had just opened her eyes and looked around. She hugged the idiot's hand tightly for fear that she would be abandoned when she let go.

On the other hand, Mi Li was also scared by the scene of "broken wrist" just now, and the expression on her face became more disturbed and pale. When she walked to a tavern with the sign of "Worry Girl", this expression became even more flustered.

".................."

The idiot stood behind her, waiting for her to enter. But Mi Li just looked at the thug who was constantly soliciting guests at the front door, and she never dared to take a step forward. After "fearing" for a long time, she suddenly turned around, walked quickly behind the idiot, pulled up her cloak to cover her face, and bowed her head silently.

"Heh! Interesting. It seems that this little girl wants you to stand up for her? Well~~~ After all, for females, there are males around, more or less hope that this male can help her solve some troubles. Humans The males of Japan are often very keen to take this kind of trouble to the upper body. So now, I have to ask you. What would you... do?"

"I don't know how to do it."

No hesitation, no hesitation. The idiot didn't even look at the Mili behind him, stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist and pushed her forward. This is the trouble caused by her family. Her father owes money, and now let her come, then the meaning of it is already very clear. This has nothing to do with his idiot. The reason why he came here was purely as a spectator, and he would not do anything to cause trouble to his upper body.

busy body?

According to experience, this behavior is often linked to death.

And death is precisely the second fear of sewer rats.

Looking at Mili again, she might not have thought that she would be pushed to the front by the boy? The girl turned her head back in surprise, but only saw a pair of cold eyes without any emotional waves. It was also here that one of the big customers of the worries girl came out with a beautiful woman on each side, and the owner of the store also took his entourage out to see him off. After nodding and bowing to send away this important person, the 50-year-old shopkeeper with old spots on his face and half-bald hair happened to see the honey pears here. At this moment, the corner of his mouth...

Laughed.
