Chapter 13: The Stars Are Shining ...... And colorful
After Eddie and the two of them left the tavern, the atmosphere seemed to be a little more cheerful like a forest where the eagles had flown away and sparrows had sprung up;
According to Orange Wind, this should have something to do with her father's tragic death:
His whole body was festering, bleeding, unable to move, unable to live, begging for death—he didn't have the guts yet;
As a result, he wailed in the hospital bed for several days before he died.
It's getting late, and it's time to find a place to rest.
"My house is not too far from the tavern...... You see, that hut over there is. ”
Orange Wind jumped and pointed to a shabby-looking house not far away;
Even compared to the nearby buildings, it looks too ...... Fooling around.
Planks of different lengths and thicknesses crookedly fill the holes in the walls;
The roof looks damaged and unrepaired, and I wonder if it will leak when it rains?
"I hope you don't mind, after all...... My father just fixed it casually and moved in. ”
"Young Master, are you really planning to go to the tavern tomorrow?" Gray Wrist lowered his voice,
"That big man doesn't look ill-intentioned......"
"I don't know what he thinks?" Eddie pursed the corners of his lips, "a trick to kill people with a knife." ”
As a commoner, he naturally can't make a move on the nobles;
But monsters don't care about that; they only think about whether their prey is chewy or not.
"He saw that my physique was weak, and he wanted me to die while hunting demonic beasts......"
“...... Isn't that dangerous?"
"For me, it's more dangerous not to go. Eddie felt that even if he was a gray wrist, he couldn't say too much.
Fortunately, the old minister was quite obedient, and after Eddie showed that he did not want to continue, he closed his mouth very understandingly.
"This is it...... Ahem, I remember there was still a light in the house. Orange Wind looked at the black room, coughed awkwardly, and then walked in quickly.
In such a dark room and dead, she walked into it so casually......
"Young master, the room is dim, beware of stumbling. Gray Wrist stopped in front of Eddie.
"Find ...... Found ......"
Soon, an orange glow lit up the room;
Orange Wind's voice sounded a little shivering—probably not because of the cold night;
Add stepped inside;
The poor little girl's figure looked particularly delicate in the light of the oil lamp;
The slender legs trembled uncontrollably—sure enough, how could a girl not be afraid.
"Thank you. Add nodded in approval;
"Should...... You're welcome. "The orange wind answered;
Add noticed that she wasn't shaking as much.
Then, Add began to look around-
...... Made, this room, even if you look at it, you get goosebumps.
Except for the kitchen at the other end, which is separated by an earthen wall, there is only the main room that is both the living room and the bedroom of Orange Wind's father;
There wasn't much furniture in the room, it was small but empty, and according to Orange Wind, the objects sent by others were all exchanged for wine by her father;
The most conspicuous thing in the room was a single wooden bed with a bit of straw, and even when the light was dim, Add could see a faint red next to the bed and under the bed.
The most numbing part of the scalp is the wall next to the bed;
Orange Wind's father seemed to be trying to grasp something to relieve the pain—it was covered in bloody scratches.
There are some wooden planks and wooden strips scattered on the ground, which should be the remnants of furniture;
Only one table was still in good condition, and the oil lamp was placed on it.
The night wind penetrates through the doors and windows, making a subtle, dry sound;
...... The atmosphere is much more eerie than a haunted house.
Graywrist wanted to open his mouth to warn Add to be careful of the residual radiation, and then remembered that His Majesty had been irradiated a lot.
“...... Let's lay the floor. Eddie said after a few seconds of struggling with his thoughts;
The plank bed...... It's really psychologically unacceptable;
It's almost up to the physiological level.
"Ah...... In that case, I'll prepare thatch for both of you!" Orange Wind nodded, and walked towards the kitchen;
For rural areas, hay is both a fuel and a substitute for a proper mattress in short supply.
There was obviously no other light in the kitchen, but the girl's pace did not seem sluggish in the slightest—as if she had her eyes closed;
Soon she came out with a large pile of hay and made two simple beds:
"Look...... Is that okay?"
One of them is obviously more delicate and has more hay.
"Just make do with it. It's just ......," Eddie surveyed the room, "it's still too cluttered." ”
Due to the chaotic scene when everyone collected the body of Orange Wind's father, there was a little clutter on the floor of the room at this time;
It's uncomfortable, and there's a risk of slipping while going to the toilet in the middle of the night......
"Leave this to me!" Gray Wrist rolled up his sleeves, "Young Master, in order to prevent the ashes, you go out to rest for a while!"
"I'll ...... too"
"You go and move more hay to make the young master's bed a little more comfortable!"
“...... That's right!" Orange Wind said as he walked quickly towards the kitchen.
Wouldn't it be inappropriate to let the girl and the old man work and watch by themselves?
No, it's not appropriate to go up and help. Eddie rolled his eyes slightly as he walked out—
Even a down-and-out aristocrat is a nobleman, so act like a little bit.
Tut.
Graywrist picked up the broom in the corner, and Orange Wind walked out with a large pile of hay in his hand, and began to try to make Add's bed more comfortable;
Myself at this time...... It's time to lament the experience of this day.
I almost drowned, I was almost captured, I finally solved the problem, and I may not live for seven days......
And he may be captured by the regent at any time, or even ...... Just kill it.
Oh, my God.
Add leaned against the doorway, looking up at the sky—
Then he almost split the corner of his eye.
The galaxy is bright, but it is by no means the starry sky in memory;
In the clear and clear sky like black and blue gemstones, there are countless brilliant colored points of light;
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, almost any color in the rainbow from light to dark can be found from the stars;
The starry sky is as beautiful as a fantasy fairy tale, and it should only exist in the dreams of innocent girls;
But now, she exists in Eddie's eyes.
This...... Is this still a star!?
"Young Master, you don't have to worry, they ...... It probably won't come. The gray wrist who swept the garbage out of the door saw that Eddie was so emotional, and couldn't help but say comfort;
His expression was sad, sad, and unwilling, as if it was related to some major event that had happened in the starry sky before;
Add bowed his head and said no more;
...... After all, Eddie didn't know what had happened before.
"Alas......" Gray Wrist sighed, straightened his waist, and went back to continue preparing to clean;
"Young Master, the bed has been made, can I go back to the kitchen to rest?" Orange Wind had obviously adjusted his mood.
"Well, you go back!"
Add continues to look up at the stars, and it is necessary to figure things out as soon as possible.
"Heathim, what happened before, why is this starry sky so bright?"
[Your Majesty...... The destruction of the capital Corona City was caused by these "stars";
Stars in the sky...... All enemies. 】
