CH 20

Before I went home, I bought a few things to eat. Among them was my best friend, the apple. After purchasing food that Rachel and Zion would like, I went into the forest entrance.

“Ruby, is this the right place?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t think it is…”

Zion clung to Rachel’s side with a frightened face.

He had gone out of the forest without his sister, but it was his first time in the square. He didn’t think it would be scary to be with Rachel, but it was more frightening than he thought.

Large people strode past them. Some of them were chattering and laughing with sharp knives.

His eyes met a man with a scythe.

He remembered the ‘Tales of the Outside People’ that his sister told him about.

Heeek!

A frightened sound came out of Zion’s mouth.

“Ru, Ruby. Let’s go back. Huh?”

Zion pulled Rachel’s sleeves again.

“Ha…”

Rachel let out a small sigh and stopped walking. Zion, who stopped at the same time, eagerly looked at Rachel’s back.

Rachel turned around.

Zion, who was about 5cm smaller than her, was crying.

“Why did we come out? We’re here to find your sister.”

“Yeah, but I’m too scared, Ruby…”

Zion’s eyes began to redden.

Rachel sighed and said firmly, clenching Zion’s cloak tightly.

“Don’t cry. If you cry, then you’re not a man.”

“But my sister said she liked crying men…”

“That’s your sister’s taste, not mine.”

“Uhhh…..”

At Rachel’s words, Zion wept with tears threatening to spill.

Rachel frowned even more.

“Because your sister likes a man who cries, you would do it too?”

“My sister isn’t weird!”
