980 Mixed Days (1) ~ Yin Shu ~

The next day.

At dawn of the night, the mysterious girl Chil-Lim's medical condition did not recover.

The fever seems to have subsided a little, but her face is still pale blue and her breathing still seems to be painful.However, according to Platica, it was on its way to the best.

"Wounds, bad wind, not only, but also hard work.But if you take medicine, nourishment, I think you can recover tomorrow. "

When I put you to sleep, Chil-Lim seemed to fall asleep deeply, so I had to go through the examination in the gap.

Platica, Ai-Fa and Dali-Sauti are gathered in the bedroom.So Platica started loosening the bandages on the back of the girl's hands, looking at Ai-Fa and the others.

"Here, look."

"This... looks like a pretty deep wound."

Eye Fa whispered low to keep Chil-Rim awake.

Yesterday, I took care of the wound at Platica's behest, so the swelling of the wound is burning in my eyes.The little girl's back of hand was engraved with deep lacerations, both vertically and horizontally, as if scratched by some beast.

"Apparently, this girl is in some kind of trouble.I can't hear anything, but I think we should talk to the guards in the station town. "

Dari-Sauti made that decision and Vella's parents headed for the town in the morning.

After the girl was taken care of, Ey-Fa and Dari-Sauti retreated to the entrance to the bedroom to begin a private conversation.

"It's Dari-Sauti.I'm sorry, but I'd like you to take a break from your hunting duties today. "

"Of course, you should.Not only do they harbor sick babies, but they also fear that a suspicious daughter is targeting them.The three of us were sitting at Fa's house, trying to get him to do his escort. "

"Hmm... I hope all the problems are solved by today..."

"I don't know, maybe Vera's parents will bring her some good news.If she was just a stray girl, her family would be offering that to the guards. "

That's what Dari-Sauti said, but of course it's unlikely.If you're just a stray, you can't dive into a stranger's van.

(I wonder what the hell... is that daughter with the golden eyes related to Chil-Lim?In that case, it's too early to talk.....)

After a while, the front became more noisy.

Apparently, a variety of people have gathered from the Lou family and nearby clans worried.Ai-Fa and Platica stayed at the entrance to the bedroom, and Dari-Sauti gave me an explanation.

I feel the temperature of the girl's body on my chest, and I listen to the blurriness and the giggle.

I wonder when I'd only slightly fall asleep - I was called "Asta," from above my head.

"Wake up. Vera's parents are back from the town."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Do you have any idea what happened?

"... hmm. I don't know what's going on, but it doesn't seem to be a problem."

I'm going to catch my breath.

The blue eyes of Ai-Fa had a sharp shine as a hunter.

"Is she asleep?Now, don't make any noise, and listen to me.... the daughter with the golden eyes you saw is arranged as a great sinner in the town of the workplace. "

"Great sinner, huh?

"Mm-hmm. Last night, three people were killed in a slum area of the town.The story is that the killer was a little girl like a child with golden eyes. "

In such a sudden development, I lost my word.

Eye Fa whispers with a low, whispered voice, sparkling only her eyes.

"And all three of them that were killed were taken away from their right wrists.... does this have anything to do with the wound on the back of her right hand? "

"Hmm... why are you imitating such a mess..."

"I don't know. Regardless, the gold-eyed daughter is arranged as a major murderer in the workplace town.When Vera's parents went down to the post town, the streets were filled with unusual guards. "

"So, what about this chil-rim?Were Vella's parents on their way to the guards' lockup to tell them about her?

"That was supposed to happen, but Vera's parents came back to Fa's house to ask Dali-Sauti for his judgment.If the girl is haunted here, it could lead to trouble around the woods. "

Ey-Fa said so, spilling the hunter's temper.

"But of course, we can't just keep stories like this between us.Dari-Sauti intends to go to the castle town in consultation with Donda-Lou.Now Dawn's eldest brother is picking up Kruer-Sung at Sung's house. "

"Kur-Sung? What's wrong with Kruer-Sung?

"I wonder if you and Kruer-Sung were the only ones facing your gold-eyed daughter?For your sake, Kur-Sung is going to the castle town as a witness.Then Melfrid and Pollux will set the course for us. "

"Is that so...?"

Did I look so worried? [M]Ai-Fa smiled forcefully at the hunter.

"The men of Fow and Run are holding back in that hall.It happened that today was a day off from hunter work, so they stayed at home.Even if a hundred outlaws come at us, we will not be left behind. "

"Yeah, okay.Well, then, we're off the street business, right?

"No, if we show the usual behavior, we may make the outlaw suspicious.Dari-Sauti said that we should do business with a guard.As the head of Fa, I accepted the proposal.If we do business, we can hear the words of the people in the city. "

While swallowing my saliva, I gently dropped my eyes on my chest.

The girl Chil-rim is asleep, holding my outfit.Breathing seems a little painful, but he's sleeping calmly compared to last night.

"What the hell is that?I wonder if this Chil-rim is also being targeted by that gold-eyed daughter...?

"It has to wait for the girl to wake up.If you're against him, I'm sure you won't be able to tell lies. "

So I decided to hit Ai Fa with my questions from last night.

"Hey, what does Ey-Fa think of this Chil-Lim?

"... the girl is kind and scared of something.That's all I know. "

That said, Ey-Fa had a slight glance at her face.

"I wonder why the girl is obsessed with you alone.That's one of the most puzzling things I can feel. "

I see. I have no idea. "

Will Chil-Rim uncover all those mysteries when he wakes up?

With my gaze down on the girl's sleeping face, I was even left with a feeling of confusion and pity.

◇

After that, I was kept isolated in my bedroom, and I was told what was going on.

The first is Dari-Sauti, who went to the castle town.

Dari-Sauti's mouth told Melfrid and Pollux what happened to us.At last, Fermez, a diplomat, was present.

With regard to the assassination that took place in the post town, Melfrid had already heard of it through the militia.I was told that the killer and the person we were supposed to be seeing were face-to-face, and that Melfridge had his gray eyes twinkled like a white blade.

"Besides, I wonder what kind of fate prank this outlaw was chasing when her daughter was haunted by a forest settlement..."

"Hmm. Anyway, we want to follow Genos' laws and get on the right path.How should we deal with it?

Dari-Sauti asked that, but he was still waiting for Chil-Rim to recover and questioned the situation.

In doing so, it seems that a proposal was made to protect Chil-Rim in the castle town, or to send a escort unit to the forest, but Dari-Sauti apologized for it for the moment.

"When the guards gather in the woodside settlement, it's like showing the outlaw the answer.If the hunters around the forest were guarded by ten people, nothing would be dangerous. "

And with regard to protection in the castle town, it was decided that it would be difficult to pull Chil-Rim away from me now.

"It would be an unfavourable situation for Ai-Fa to leave Asta in the castle town.... or were you needless to look after?That way, we can still take you to the castle town. "

Dari-Sauti's words made it easy for me to hear them from my bed.Ai-Fa's response is, of course, "No."

"I thought the fever would go down tomorrow, so I thought I'd wait and see at Fa's house until then.If we don't move on after tomorrow... we'll have to do something. "

So it was decided to keep Chil-Lim at Fa's house for the time being.

And about the state of the station town.

Merfrid knew exactly what happened, so he told Nanami Dari-Sauti.

"The incident happened late last night.Disturbance broke out in the slums of the stadium town at a point where everyone would be asleep.The guards who were patrolling the post town ran over it, where the bodies of three men were rolled over, all of whom were cut down by a sword and taken away from their right wrists.The identity of these people remains unknown... rather than outlaws, they appear to have become less lucrative peddlers.The slums are cheap, so many of them sleep there. "

"Hmm. You're not from Genos, are you?

"Mm-hmm. Later, I was able to locate the longhouse where they were staying.They said that your luggage had been vandalized and your bronze and food had been taken away. "

When I hear that, it looks like it's just a robbery.

However, there were some mysterious points.

"The three men were harmed in the back street far from the longhouse where they were sleeping.Those who were staying at the nearby inn were listening to voices of argument... like women or children, saying, "Where did that girl go?I heard the word. "

"Perhaps that's the daughter of Chil-Lim, hidden in Fa's house.... the people at the inn were watching the killer?

"Hmm. When I opened the window and looked at the front, I saw a small figure like a child waving a sword.So he ran to the corner of the inn, and he hurried to close the window, and he saw only the glittering golden eyes under his head. "

As far as I can tell, the outlaw's aim is still to identify Chil-Lim.Was it a waste of money on the road that took the bronze coins and food?

Then why did you take it from your wrist?

"Subsequent investigations have also yielded testimony that a suspicious daughter with golden eyes was wandering around the town during the day.None of the people who spoke with each other said, "Have you seen a daughter with silver eyes?They asked me.Perhaps it was Astor and his Kur-Sung who first spoke. "

It would be the biggest joke of fate that we were to cover Chil-Rim.

But -- what is the situation?

"Normally speaking, the three people who were harmed last night are his daughter's family."

After hearing all the stories from Dari-Sauti, Ai-Fa said so.

"However, there are some points that do not fall into my heart.The chil-rim daughter was sneaking into Gill's truck at noon yesterday.In other words, before three humans were killed by their gold-eyed daughters, they were terribly scared.... to whom did he run away and what was he afraid of?

"Yes, even a gold-eyed daughter came just before the end of the stall business, so it's unlikely that she'll meet Chil-Lim in such a short time."

"Or... the murdered are the people, and the outlaws with the golden eyes are his daughter's family."

Even so, it still feels like something is a tick hug.

And no matter what you think, you don't understand the meaning of the murder of chopping off your right wrist and taking it away.

This seemed to have to wait for Chil-Rim's own testimony.

"By the way, you seem pretty quiet over there, but everyone's still here, right?

"Hmm, I'm whispering to keep my daughter awake.With three men from Dari-Sauti and three men from Fow and Run, the total number would be about ten. "

Then, no matter how skillful the outlaw with the golden eyes may be, there is no need to worry.In addition, if it was possible to deepen the rapprochement between the blood of Saudi and Fow, it was at least a consolation.

Since Jomtien is already close, Yun-Sudra and his colleagues should be encouraging the street food business in the post town.As a result of Dari-Sauti's notification to his family everywhere, Din and Lid were also scheduled to take a hunting day, so your hunters were appointed guardians.

Because of the assassination in the workplace town, it doesn't seem unnatural to have an escort.Conversely, if the people around the forest stop doing business because of this, it may become a little noisy together with the indignation that they can't eat street food.In anticipation of that, it was thought that Dari-Sauti and the others had decided to do business on the street.

In the meantime, I even sleep with Chil-Rim.I didn't get bored because I was watching, but I just fell asleep breathlessly, unless I was sorry.

"Ey-fa. Snack is ready, what should we do?

Beyond the narrowly opened doorplate, you can hear such a voice.This is the voice of Kur-Sun.After returning from the castle town, he must have taken over the job of keeping the oysters.

"I should let the girl eat first.... just like last night, I'm going to wait outside the door. "

"Yes, I understand.... Shouldn't we ask Chil-Rim anything yet?

"If the power to speak properly returns, you should ask if you have any idea of a daughter with golden eyes.But I don't think we should tell them yet about the three people who were harmed last night. "

"Yeah, if that was Chil-Lim's family, it would be too stimulating.Okay, I'll take that line. "

Ai-Fa nodded and opened the door without making a sound.

On the other side was the hall, and a lot of men were seen over the shoulders of Kur-Sung, who had raised a wooden dish.One of them, Joe-Lan, waves his hand with a faint smile as usual.He rushed to his town in the morning to make sure Yumi was safe, and then he came back.

"Good work, Aster.In the meantime, I only shipped one person.I'm warming the pot over there, so please let me know if you need me. "

"Yeah, thanks. Kuru-Sung also had a tough time."

"Compared to Asta, it's no big deal.I've only been out to the castle and told the truth about what I saw. "

Kruer-Sung smiled secretly and carried the wooden dishes to the pillow.

The deep dishes consist of soup dishes made with tau oil, while the flat dishes consist of baked potatoes.He must have prepared an easy-to-eat meal for Chil-Rim.

"I asked my parents to look after Fow's house today.I'll help you prepare your dinner. "

"Huh? Why would Kruer-Sung do that?

"Yes... I feel like I can't abandon my daughter somehow..."

That said, Kur-Sun stared at Chil-rim's sleeping face with sad eyes.

It's a bit duller than Chil-Rim, with silver-grey eyes.

"I hope you get well soon.... and I want to pray for a healthy life for her. "

Leaving such a word behind, Kur-Sun left his bed.

The doorplate is only a few centimeters open, and Ai Fa peers into the blue eyes from there.After I gazed at you, I put my hand on the girl's too thin shoulder.

"Chil-lim, it's lunch.I have to take my medicine, so can you eat before then?

The girl shook herself upset for a while, but she opened her eyes and looked up at me.

A light of relief floats in the silver eyes like stars.

It's like a kitten finally getting around to a parent cat.

"Well, can you wake up?I have to eat a lot and nourish myself. "

Chil-rim wandered his gaze and made sure there was no one in the room before rubbing his head against my chest again.

While I gently hold that little body, I get up on my bedding.A girl as thin as a bird did not feel her weight like a joke.

"Lean against this wall.Yeah, that's right. You look a lot better than yesterday.Does your right hand hurt?

…………

Well then, let's eat.This is a soup dish made with tau oil, which is very delicious. "

I feel like a nurse, and I'm going to take care of this.

Still, when I carry the wooden spoon to my mouth, I start eating without reluctance.She doesn't even look delicious, but her body should want nourishment.

"Is it delicious? Let's pour some potatoes into the juice and try some."

…………

"This is gibberish meat.It's cut into small pieces, so I don't think it's that hard to eat. "

…………

She was obedient like a doll, and that obedience should not have confused me.

Anyway, you should have eaten first.I wanted to question her about the mountains, but first I should have recovered my health.

Chil-rim is squeezing the hem of my outfit while I continue eating.

It seemed like all my feelings had slowed down, but my intention to stay away from me remained unchanged.

"Yes, it's over. It's great to eat a lot.Let's take some medicine. "

…………

"It's a little bitter, but just hang in there.If you drink this and rest slowly, your fever should go down soon. "

Chil-Lim's expression is faint, but the mind seems to be fairly stable because there are no other people left.

So I decided to bump into the question I was talking about with Ey-Fa.

"Chil-Lim, may I ask... do you know a girl with golden eyes?

Chil-Lim looked me up blurry.

Too unprotected and too vague an expression.The silver eyes showed no signs of flickering emotional waves.

"One of you...?

"Yeah, and there's a terrible burn mark around my face.I think it's a little bigger than Chill Rim. "

Chil-Lim stared at me for a while, and eventually shook his head sideways.

"I don't know... I've never seen it..."

I see. Well, that's fine.I'm sorry to hear that. "

Chill-Lim kept silent and ran down my chest.

With a tight grip on the hem of your outfit, you start shaking your little shoulders.

"Stay with me... don't leave me alone..."

"Yeah, I'm with you.Don't worry, get some rest. "

While I was heartbroken by Chil-Rim's powerless appearance, I began to have new questions.

Chil-Lim apparently doesn't know a daughter with golden eyes.

It seems a lot hot and hazy, but that won't make any mistakes.Besides, I didn't think she was lying.

(Then, the mystery is only deepening.What the hell is he looking for Chil-Lim for?

When I looked at the door panel, it seemed that Eye-Fahn was also shining blue eyes.

◇

This is the second night.

Having finished dinner in the same manner as during the day, we fell asleep in the same manner as last night.

First, I'll take a nap, watch Chil-Lim fall asleep, and then I'll sneak into the bed and spread the bedding next to me.Chil-Lim and I look like we're facing each other on our sides, so Ey-Fa sleeps on her back.

In the hall beyond the door panel, it is said that only ten men are still on the floor.It would have been careless to make Fow and Run's house too thin, so half of them were replaced by men from Din and Lid.It is a mixed unit near the woods with three additional people, including Dari-Sauti.

"You should be most careful this evening, but you don't have to worry about anything.But if something goes wrong, don't disturb your mind and follow my instructions.

Chil-rim's chestnut head, Ai-Fa said so.

Be careful, Ey-Fa is lying on her bedding with her hair tied.Inside the blanket, there is even a sword.Incidentally, my knife was in storage, fearing it would be taken by Chil-Rim while he was asleep.

"Chil-Lim seems to be getting a lot of heat.At least I'll be fine by tomorrow. "

"I just hope so.... anyway, you should sleep too. "

"Yeah. Good night, Ey-Fa."

I am not working at all today, so I am not tired at all.However, I was surprisingly able to fall asleep lightly because I was worried about my head.

And I had a dream.

This is not a nightmare that is colored by the flames of Guren.However, it is a miraculous dream that is comparable to it.

I sat in the dark.

Or maybe I was the darkness itself.

I don't even know what I look like.Even if you look down at your body, there is only darkness in it.

Darkness is what makes man anxious.

But I wasn't worried about anything like this.

Because - the darkness itself is full of sparkling radiance around me.

Various lights are dancing, as if they were covered in beautiful gems.

They sometimes took the form of animals and made my mind more comfortable.

Even in the dark, I wouldn't miss anything if the brilliance were so close to me.

Darkness may be the antithesis of light, but I still couldn't feel lamenting for my situation.Wrapped in this brilliance, it didn't seem like such a shallow act to have such a teasing feeling.

They and I are completely different beings, but I am not distressed by loneliness.

Rather, I was given an incredible amount of hope and joy from the glow.

There - a fluffy, red glow rises.

The glow that existed in the closest place to me, the darkness.

The glow eventually turned into a cat with elegant limbs and tails.

A shiny, bright cat.

What a beautiful figure.

The fire that burned me out had such a terrible hue - the cat's red glow filled my heart more than anything.

(I... I want to meet you...)

I'll give you my black arm.

The crimson cat gently chewed on his arm.

After all, this was the right destiny.

I lived in this world to meet her.

I burst into tears and hugged the red glow.

The red cat gently stroked my head without diminishing its shine.

And then...

In a state of bliss, I saw a distortion of radiance in the corner of my vision.

Even though we are so happy and satisfied, only that place is shining.It was as if someone had cooked vegetables in a marble-like fashion, breaking the harmony of beautiful radiance.

(Rub it.....)

Someone is crying in a distorted glow.

Nothing bad happened to her, but it seemed like something was trying to destroy her destiny.

(Stay with me... don't leave me alone... somebody...)

I held hands with the red cat and tried to get close to her.

But a distorted glow tries to inhibit it.As we approached the detour, we were about to be overwhelmed by the distortion.

But I can't leave her alone.

If she had been left alone, the distortion could only have destroyed all harmony.

We have to save her.

And then...

I was suddenly pulled back into the real world.

"Wake up, Aster. Can't you hear me?

When I realized it, Ey-Fa shook my shoulders roughly.

I quickly reclaim my sanity after I see it wrapped in beautiful crimson sparkles for just a moment.Eye-Fa's eyes and voice soaked with urgent signs that woke me up in a flash.

"Well, what's the matter?Something wrong?

I'll wake you up with Chil-Rim's body in my arms.

It was dark, but a candlestick was lit under the pillow, and the fire raised Eye-Fa's sharp expression.

"Someone has been holding out by the house.Now the other men are fighting back.We're moving to the hall. "

Ey-Fa said so with a dazzling voice.

The blue eyes seemed to be burning with a clean and intense flame of will that could not yield to any evil fortune.
