979 Date of Encounter ② ~ Silver Eyes ~

Now, let's go back to the forest.

After returning the stall to Kimus's Tail Pavilion, we returned to the woods.

Kur-Sung still looked a little worried, but I'm completely demodulated.However, my mind was made to realise how threatened by an unknown existence, and I was held in a slightly angry comfort.

(I will have to report this to Ai-Fa, but I will be with the people of Saudi Arabia for five days from today.I have to sneak it out somewhere)

The impact just now was just a mistake, so there's no need to rush it out until then.Anyway, if I postpone it at a later date, I can see that Ei Fa is furious.In the first place, Ai-Fa thought more of me than I thought of myself, so I couldn't postpone it.

(I wonder what it is, really.I don't care about any crazy opponent, so I want you to clarify who you are anyway.)

Once we got back to the woods, we stopped by Lou's settlement.Today was my third business day, and it was my personal training day.Only Reina Lou and Sheila Lou were scheduled to come out from the Lou family.

Then, as soon as you go to the house of Fafa, say goodbye to the truck of Fafa in front of the settlement of Baim.Members who did not participate in the training were supposed to return to their respective homes in your wagon.

Six people will participate in the training here: Tour-Din, Yun-Sudra, Marfila-Naham, Ray-Matua, Kur-Sun, and Platica.Including me is overcrowded, and I wanted you to deepen your contacts with the blood of Saudi, so Yun-Sudra, Ray-Matua and Platica were on their way home in your van from the beginning.

"Ki, ki, what training are you going to do today?Or are the ingredients bought from Geld still at the center?

"That's right. I could consider adding ingredients to Marfila-Naham vanilla dishes."

"Eh!? Wow, I'm so sorry to have to spend so much time with you!

"But Naham's house doesn't allow him to use the ingredients he likes very much, so it's hard to get on with the work, right?Then it would be meaningful enough. "

While manipulating Gill's tether, I gave him an answer like that.

"The rainy season's vegetable ban is coming up the day after tomorrow, so we'll be dealing with you from now on.Today might be your last chance. "

"CHAN, CHAN, CHAN?

"Oh, I'm sorry. In my hometown, it means opportunity.Anyway, that Murphyra-Naham dish is a great reference for me and the others, and a great stimulus.It would be meaningful to everyone if you let me study it. "

"Yes, is that so?I mean, I'm sorry, but I don't really feel right.... "

So Murphyra-Naham slightly clouded the end of the story, but only Toor-Din and Kruer-Sung, who had a modest character, were on board the van, so there was only silence left.I will complement the scene in the carrier in my brain, saying that I'm sure the Tour-dins are smiling to encourage Murphyra-Naham.

That's how I arrived at Fa's house.

It seems that the rain has subsided again, so I put on the hood of my jacket and descended from the podium.Everyone else was wearing a jacket and got down to the muddy ground.

After seeing that the subsequent cars of Saudi and Lou had arrived safely, I entrusted Marfila-Naham with the rope and decided to greet Gilbert first.

"Gilbert, I'm home. Is everything all right?

When I opened the door panel of the main house, Gilbert jumped out alive.

Gilbert, who tried to rub his nose to my feet, stopped moving quickly along the way.

Those crushed eyes stared at me like they wanted something.

"Nh, what?Are you hungry?

Gilbert stared at me and compared Gilbert's pulled truck.

And finally, hold your gaze in my sight again.

"I wonder what happened.He wants to tell me something..... "

Kur-Sung and I were watching our behavior.

The Ladies of Reina Lou and Saudi, who are waiting for us to move, are also looking for us on the far side.

"What's the matter, Gilbert?Does that wagon smell funny?

Gilbert turned his back on Gilbert's wagon.

And then suddenly I started barking like I cut a weir.

"Oh, hey, Gilbert...?

Then Reina Lou, who entrusted Sheila Lou with the rope, rushed closer to us.

"Aster, maybe someone is lurking in the wagon?

"Yeah? Because we came back in this van?

"But do you also have crates and barrels in your truck?Is it possible for humans to hide if they are concerned?

Reina Lou's serious eyes brought a sense of urgency to my heart.

So, did Gilbert nod to me earlier to introduce me quickly if there were any guests?

"... Gilbert, stop"

Gilbert stopped barking at me.

Those black eyes shine a more serious light than Reina Lou and compare me to the wagon.

"Everybody, get away from that van.Murphyra-Naham can also let go of the rope.... I'll check with Gilbert to see if anyone's lurking on the cargo bay. "

Then Platica stepped out of Saudi's van with a quick leg.

On his hand is an elongated barrel - a barrel that fires poison arrows.

"Aster, I'm here to help.I think I'm carrying more force than anyone here. "

"Yes, I'm glad to ask Platica, our guest, for such a dangerous role... but I'd be happy if you could help me."

"Yes, outlaw, alone, I will never take it back."

Regardless of how large the luggage is, there is no space where two or more people can hide.Thinking like that, I also put my fingertips on the knife I lowered to my waist.

"Gilbert, don't jump on me like that.First, find out who they are. "

Gilbert answered my words by blinking several times.

The other ladies have a tight face and are moving away from Gill's truck.And the women of Raina Lou, Ray-Matua, and Saudi's bloodline were really brave and holding hands on the handle of the knife.

"Platica, can you turn to the podium?Gilbert and I are going around the back. "

"I understand.Asta, Gilbert, be careful. "

As I felt my heart beat, I circled around the back of the carrier with Gilbert.

Since the rain has stopped, the entrance and exit books remain open.The inside of the cargo bay is thin and bright because the side of the cargo bay is also open and the window book is also open.If anything had moved, it would have been immediately detectable.

"... is anybody there?If you are, come out.If you keep coming out, I won't do anything rough. "

Something moved behind the wooden box.

I take a breath, Gilbert grunts... and makes a moan of intimidation.

"... come out slowly.If you have a weapon, throw it in now. "

If the opponent is outlaw, such a call may be meaningless.

But it was the girl who emerged from behind the crate - a very small girl, contrary to the plan.

While the girl was kneeling on the floor, she rolled up to the back entrance and exit.

A poor, thin girl with pale maroon hair.

There is no jacket, and only a coarse grey coat wraps the slender body.

And, even in the light, the silver eyes that glimmered like stars stared at me from the front.

I instantly lose my words.

It was such a beautiful look.

Only then did Gilbert stop getting angry.

"I... who are you?

When I whispered, the girl trembled her shoulders.

And I wonder if he stared at me like he was eating in - his silver eyes began to pour out tears.

"Tasu... go..."

Along with her blurry voice, the girl's right hand came against me.

The tip of the little hand is wrapped in a gray cloth cut and bleeding red blood.

When I tried to step almost unconsciously, I was grabbed by the sleeve around my elbow.

"Aster, get closer, it's dangerous."

"Ah, that? Platica, when?

"One sign of a human being.So, here we go.It's the other child, but we need to be vigilant. "

"Yes, yes. But you can't leave me alone.Look, it looks like you're hurting the back of your hand.... "

"Well, I'll take it."

When Platica held the arrow in her pocket, she tried to approach the girl with her fingertips on her hip dagger.

But the girl stood back in the carrier, weeping.

"No... nobody else... stay away from me..."

"Why would I refuse?

"No... unless it's you, no..."

Girl's silver eyes are staring at me again.

Only the expression of sorrow too painful was engraved on that young face.

I've never seen anyone look so sad before.

Just staring at me with my tear-wet silver eyes made me feel like I was about to crush my heart.

"Platica, I'm going.Platica, can you prepare for an emergency?

"... I see.Aster, I'll help you. "

When Platica releases her hand from the dagger, she sneaks her fingertips back into the back of her jacket.

The next time the hand was revealed, it was equipped with strange instruments.With an instrument like a connected ring, four fingers are passed through, and a hook nail that seems to be only 10 cm is growing.

"Here, cat nails, poison, it's packed.You, Aster, if you try to harm me, I'll use you here. "

Whether Platica's warning was in my ear or not, the girl was struggling to put her wounded hand over me.

I'll keep an eye on Platica and then slowly approach you.Of course, Gilbert followed me perfectly at my feet.

Sure, no matter how cute a girl she is, she wouldn't be dangerous if she had a poison weapon or something.

However, it was clear that this girl had no harmful intentions.On the contrary, she is trembling with fear and anxiety.Even if I was cursed, I couldn't feel the feeling of scratching the hands of such a frightened girl.

"It's okay. There's nothing to worry about."

When I reached for my hand, my trembling fingertips slowly rolled up.

It's a weak, thin fingertip that's about to break.

And the fingertips had more heat than I could ever imagine.

"Maybe you have a fever...."

When I tried to say that, the girl came to my chest.

Platica reacted with a twitch, but fortunately the vicious weapon of her hand was not shaken.The girl was just sneaking up on me.

A girl clinging to my chest is trembling all over her body.And that little body still had an unusual fever.

"You have a terrible fever.I'll get you some medicine right away. "

"No... don't... rub me..."

The girl looked up at me with her face sneezed.

Wet with tears, those silver eyes are even more beautiful and radiant.

It was like a pupil filled with starlight.

"It's okay. I am the people of the forest, Asta of Fa's house.... could you tell me your name?

"My name is... Chil-Lim..."

That's all, the girl nodded her face on my chest.

No matter how small and powerless I am, my chest hurts.

That's how I met a mysterious girl with golden eyes, followed by a mysterious girl with silver eyes.

◇

About two hours later, when the area was getting a lot darker - I was to be questioned sharply by Ai-Fa, who had returned from the woods.

"... and who is that girl after all?

"That's why I'm not sure.It's because the fever is terrible and my consciousness is still cloudy. "

I'm in the hall of Fa's house, next to the girl Chil-Rim who slept on her bedding.I mean, she wouldn't let go of me, so I just sat there all the time.

She suffered a severe laceration on the back of her right hand, so she treated it properly, gave her antipyretics, and put it to bed.So I finally fell asleep, and when I gently let go of my hand, I suddenly became half-crazed and jumped.

"Don't fall apart... stay with me... don't leave me alone..."

If I were to cry like that, I wouldn't be able to shake off my hand.

To be careful, Platica stands by on the other side of the bedding with her knees tight.Besides, he still wore poisonous cat claws.

Ey-Fa, who was staring at us in front of us, sighed with his head shut.

"Thank you for being careful with Platica.I'll take over the rest, so I want you to take care of the equipment. "

"Yes, I assure you that Astor's body was safe."

"No matter how weak Asta is, she won't take a step backwards... but what the hell is this girl?

Chil-rim, wrapped in a blanket with his bedding, is holding my right hand tightly with a safe left hand.Now that mysterious eyes were hidden under her eyelids, she should have looked like a girl with no freaks.

Will I be at most ten years old?I don't know because I've lost weight, but at least my body is smaller than Limi Lou.The chestnut hair is long enough to reach my waist, and it has a very beautiful hue, but it is also damaged by the lack of nutrients.

The skin colour is yellow and white, probably the people of the west.However, if Mr Rim is a freelancer, he is a freelancer.That's all I could deduce.

"Hmm. So young and sick, my daughter lurked in Astor's van and followed me to this façade.Looks like this is a pretty ugly story. "

And Dali-Sauti, who sat beside Ai-Fa, said so thoughtfully.Vera's parents and Dawn's eldest brother are working to dismantle today's harvest, Gibba.

"Besides, she's hurt in her right hand, and there's one other thing besides that."

So I started talking about the other daughter I met in the middle of business.

With the burns, Ey-Fa stepped forward.I smiled brightly to calm my heart. [M]

"When I first saw the scar, I wondered if this girl was the one.But that was a mistake.She was a little girl like a child. "

"Kids... how does that grow to be as tall as me?

"No, I told you Nachala's tricks were meant to free my memory.I'm just forgetting about him.Then it's impossible to meet the future. "

Ai-Fa took a deep breath and Dari-Sauti stroked the square chin with a "fum".Only the chiefs could tell me about the results of the ceremony I did to Nachala for the time being.

"Was that some kind of mystery that threatened Aster?Are you sure this is irrelevant?

"Yes, as far as I'm concerned, yes.I wasn't just saying that my back was different, but I wasn't scared at all when I saw her.... "

I see. It's hard to tell whether you should be happy that trouble didn't overlap or lament that trouble was postponed. "

Dari-Sauti smiled to empower me and then turned to Ai-Fa.

"Then this girl will be just a stray girl.After asking about a street situation, I had to hand it over to the guards in the township. "

"... but if you're sleeping like this, you can't even tell me what happened?

"Mm-hmm. I think we'll have to rest here until the fever goes down and we can talk."

…………

"Don't worry. This is not a disturbance to deepen ties.The women want to be kept by the blood of Fow. "

"So, what about the crowd?

"We'll let you sleep here.Just in case, be careful. "

With a powerful smile, Dari-Sauti said so.

"Was she asking Asta for help?Then it would be interesting to escape from the suspicious person that Asta met.Well, it's hard for anyone to know that her daughter is hidden in Fa's house... but she's never been too careful. "

"That's right...I think Dari-Sauti is right. "

Eye Fa nodded deeply with a harsh expression.

Then he looks at me with his horizontal eyes.

"But why do you get into trouble, like every time?Could there have been a lot of other women there?

"Yeah, I don't know why, but I'm really scared of someone else."

That was already a confirmed matter.When Ray-Matua and Mother of Charity were socializing, Sheila-Lou tried to take care of her, but the girl stubbornly rejected it.

"Maybe she's just scared of women.Dari-Sauti, can you try later?

"Hmm. But a big figure like me might scare me.It will be Dawn's eldest brother's turn. "

When Dari-Sauti answered in that way, the door panel of the mother house was knocked on.

It was Yun-Sudra who came.They were not going to go home silently, so the Saudis were cooking for them.

"We're done here.What should we do after this?

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll talk to Ei Fa right away, so please wait a minute."

Eye-Fa, who greeted Yun-Sudra at the entrance, stared at me.

"What are you talking about?

"Yeah, I'm like this, so I was wondering what I should do for dinner.The Saudis have just come to Fa's house, and I don't know what to do... and I was asking Yun-Sudra if she could help me. "

"... are you trying to force Yun-Sudra to prepare dinner?

"Yeah. I mean, you can't work with this kid, can you?

Ai-Fa sighed with all her might, then turned back to Yun-Sudra.

"So, I also want to ask Yun-Sudra for help... Have you already told Sudra's house?

"No, I was hoping that when the other ladies came back, they would tell me what to say.And what about the Saudis?

"They want you to leave it with Fow."

So Dari-Sauti also joined the discussion and this was to be arranged.

The women of Saudi will also have dinner at Fa's house, and when they have finished eating it, they will keep it at Fo's house.In order to deliver you and Yun-Sudra to your home, we will invite the men from either Fow or Sudra to dinner together here.That was what the Tour-dins told Fow and Sudra's house on their way home.

"What a strange noise.I want you to stop making such noise this evening. "

Ai-Fa peeked into the girl's sleeping face as she blurred.

The girl is sweating and suffering on her pale face.Eye Fa immediately frowned in anguish.

"... the fever, probably because of the bad wind coming in from the wound.Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it will heal. "

In Platica's words, Ey-Fa sighed again.

"I hope it heals by tomorrow morning... but if it doesn't, what are you going to do?

"I'll think about it then.I told Yun-Sudra that I might ask her to arrange the stalls for tomorrow. "

…………

"No, I don't want to throw out my job either.I'm sure if I talk to her, I'll feel like I can't leave her alone. "

But the story wasn't that simple.

After about an hour, when the ladies of Yun-Sudra and Saudi, who had made dinner, came to the hall, the girl awoke in the bustle - and fell into a state of panic.

"No! Stay away from me!I... I... "

"Calm down. I'll be fine.Nobody's gonna hurt you. "

Even if I licked her like that, the girl remained confused.

You're clinging to my body and trembling like a scared kitten.Even though I felt weak due to the fever, this was still not enough.

Anyway, to get away from the public, I'm going to hold the girl's body and have her evacuate to bed.However, as Ai Fa entered the room with her, the girl began to shed fresh tears.

"No... stay away from me..."

"What are you afraid of?Do we look like bad people?

Ey-Fa asked that with a very quiet voice so that he could literally talk to the young child.

The girl is shaking her head with her face down on my chest.

"It's my fault... so stay away from me..."

"Then why are you allowing me to get as close to Asta as I can?

The girl twitched her shoulders and then looked up at me with silver eyes.

"Don't leave me alone..."

While rejecting all humans, he only seeks my help.

It was totally unreasonable - Ai Fa didn't want to pursue it any further.

"First of all, we'll have to wait for the fever to heal.I'll bring you dinner, so you can feed her.I'll be watching from the gap in the door. "

"Yeah... I'm sorry, Ey-Fa"

"I'm not responsible for you.But I have to apologize carefully for the inconvenience. "

Ey-Fa, who spoke like that, had a very quiet look.

Like me, you're not just sympathizing, you're trying to figure out what this crazy commotion is all about.

The first night I met the two strange girls ended with a big mystery in my arms.
