And, don't forget the practical obstacles that you have to face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

…… Does she really have the right to let me go right away when she says leave?

That made me hesitate, because I knew I was the property of the Beast Casino.

I think back to the cheers in the square, aren't those voices just the joy of my expectation? Some guests lose interest if they lose the focus of watching the game. That would be a big loss for the casino.

It's possible...... Her current assertiveness has violated the rules.

I stroked the collar that wrapped around my neck. The horror of the digestive worm's body turning into smoke from the explosives flashed through my mind, and my brow furrowed worriedly.

"Why do you have the ability to unlock the cell door, where are you going to take me now? So suddenly, I couldn't understand what you were thinking. Are human beings so spontaneous, and their thoughts are sometimes illogical and meaningless?

"The little black man is very smart. 」

"I...... Leaving the cage without permission should be punished by the administrators. 」

"If discovered, the little black will be executed and blown to pieces. 」

「………」

"But you're the focus of conversation among the guests right now, and that's not going to happen. If you get caught, don't worry about having me by your side. 」

Luz spoke lightly about what was at stake in my life, and once again took my hand and dragged forward.

I had a very bad feeling in my chest, and if I said "I got on the thief ship by mistake", I would probably describe the present. At present, there is no other figure in the empty hallway, and if you go back to the cage before you are seen, you should be able to treat it as if it didn't happen - the encyclopedia in the brain suggests.

I shook Luz's hand away again, and was about to turn around when she dragged me again.

"Didn't you say you didn't have to worry? trust me. 」

"I don't want to lose my life because of your inexplicable actions. If that practice is dangerous, you might as well go back. At least you can live if you are obedient, and if you are alive, you will have time to wait for the opportunity...... Do you really understand what I want, at least explain the purpose of the adventure, and keep me safe. 」

"Little black, you're so stupid. Trust me. The managers of the casino won't care what I'm doing. As for your purpose, of course, I decided to take you away after I understood it. It is true that following me to "complete the goal" can also "achieve your desire" by the way. Now the specific action is very simple, get out of here, and everything can begin. 」

"What is your relationship with the manager, what are your ideals, and why do you benefit me?"

"I'll explain it later, come with me first. Since I decided to make Xiaokuro my partner, I can't stand your dirty appearance. Take care of it before you go. 」

"The beast's escape is a dangerous act of panic to humanity, and I will be sanctioned for doing so. The first step to following you with the risk is to change into human clothes?"

"Yes, that's a priority. 」

「…… The question of my life is on the back burner, just because it's dirty? Also, I don't understand the standard of the line between you being dirty and clean, but by my standard ......."

The clothes I was wearing were rough in texture, probably made of some kind of animal skin. Although it is quite wear-resistant, it is indeed a little uncomfortable after being in contact with the skin for a long time.

"This can bear ......"

I was only halfway through my sentence when Luz raised his voice and showed his insistence:

"No, the little black is so dirty and smelly, I don't accept that my partner doesn't pay attention to it. 」

"But the humans I've seen in the arena don't care if the beasts are dirty. 」

"I'll care, and you've got too little knowledge. Some "domestic beasts" that are considered "home pets" humans also dress up their appearance. 」

"So, I'm a pet? Well, it does make sense. I'm a pet raised by humans now, and I have to listen to you humans to eat food. 」

"Little Black ......"

Luz's eyes blinked, and I couldn't understand why she was surprised by my opinion.

She put her hands on my thin shoulders and shook her head:

"No, I'll repeat, we're partners, you're not pets, you're friends. What's more, the appearance of the little black child is no different from that of an ordinary twelve-year-old girl. Girls of this age always have to dress up a little. How about it, little sunspot, to have the opportunity to be a beautiful twelve-year-old girl, do you feel that it is actually a happy thing? 」

"Answer my three questions, and I'll go with you. 」

"Trust me. Ah, the little black man is back!"

…… Ask people to believe without explanation, take me outside the prison, enter the circle of human freedom, and do the stupid things that a twelve-year-old human girl would do, who is the stupid person. When I think about it calmly, I was affected by emotions at the beginning, so that when I saw her move of taking me out, I not only did not resist but agreed, which really lacked rational judgment.

- Why, I felt like I was holding her hand at that moment...... Will you be able to get your wish fulfilled?

Obviously, her intuition will be carried to an unpredictable future.

I shook off Luz's grip and walked straight towards the cage without looking back.

「…… Woo. 」

I felt a tingling in my neck.

The thin needle hidden in the collar was injected with anesthetic and made me faint in less than three seconds.

I fell to the ground, and within a hundred and eighty degrees of vision, the corners of Luz's mouth curled up with a smile.

…… Sure enough, on the thief ship, the "Encyclopedia in the Brain" appeared on my conscious side.
