Sometimes I wonder what fate is. People have had different destinies from the beginning.

If you are lucky, you were born in a wealthy family. Bad luck, born in a poor and humble family.

Although there are people who can change their destiny and are not poor, there are many more people who cannot change it.

Time is like a flash in the pan, and the person who was smiling and talking to you yesterday will leave you forever today.

After I helped the little girl with her mother's funeral, I was ready to go to the weapons shop to buy a weapon and leave the town of Araba to return to the town of Genesis.

I entrusted the little girl to the local church, then gave some gold coins and left. Although the little girl didn't say anything, her little head kept thinking.

"Boss, it's cheaper, five silver coins won't do."

"This guest, without you bargaining like this, I will cost 10 silver coins for this material alone, you are good, let me lose money directly."

In the weapons shop, I bargained with the boss, and since there were no weapons such as hand armor in this world, I could only buy a sword as a weapon.

In the end, I, who was not the owner of the weapon shop, could only buy this normal-level longsword for nine silver coins.

The town of Creation is a bit far from the town of Alaba and can be reached on horseback for almost a year.

At this time, I was a little tempted to complain about why Gaia had teleported me so far, since there were only camels and no horses, so I had to set off on foot.

Walking in the desert, I had to reach the oasis before dark, and it was then that I noticed someone sneaking behind me.

Sensing the trouble, I quickened my pace and shook off the person who was following me.

When evening came, I finally arrived at the oasis, the same one I had taken as a slave.

I set up the wood and made a fire, and I was ready to camp here.

"Whew!"

The call of a wolf came from the oasis, a monster called the Desert Wolf, which would sometimes appear in the oasis to rest and drink water.

I rested my hand on the hilt of my sword at my waist, ready to slay the approaching desert wolf. After some time, I noticed that the desert wolf had not come, but had left the oasis.

It felt strange, but the trouble avoided me, and I felt relaxed.

The next day, I put out the fire and prepared to leave, when I found the corpse of the desert wolf lying not far away.

Looking at the scars on the corpse, it should have been someone who had broken bones and internal organs with a heavy object, and remembered the stalking when I left and the wolves that should have attacked me last night.

"Is there anyone helping me?"

I followed the blood trails on the ground and finally saw a pack of desert wolves besieging something not far away.

A figure in ragged clothes and tattered shoes fell to the ground, while the desert wolves were tearing at his flesh.

However, as soon as I saw who the figure was, an unhappy expression clearly appeared on my face.

Drawing the sword from my waist, I rushed towards the wolves, swinging my sword and slashing the nearest wolf in half.

Before the rest of the desert wolves could react, I immediately followed suit.

"[Fire Elemental Forge, Rocket]"

With his left hand, he used the practice technique towards the wolf on the left, and with his right hand holding the sword, he followed the footsteps to kill the wolf on the right.

After cleaning up the wolves, I looked at the man who had fallen to the ground.

"Why are you here, shouldn't you be in church at this time?"

That's right, the person who fell to the ground was the little girl, and she secretly followed me out of the town of Alaba.

At this time, she suffered a lot of injuries, and her thighs and arms were bitten off by the desert wolf, and even the bones inside were exposed.

took out a bottle of [Divine Water] and gave it to her, and after the green light wrapped her body, she was basically healed.

Sighing, I asked the little girl again.

"So, why are you following me? And why did you deal with the wolves alone last night? ”

The little girl lowered her head and bit her lip, and finally spoke.

"I want to follow you, my mother said you are a good person, I really don't want to be alone ........."

Tears welled up in the corners of the little girl's eyes, and I remembered how she had promised her mother that she could live alone.

She looked up at me with an uneasy face, afraid that I would leave her here or send her back.

Sighing, he touched the little girl's hair and said.

"Forget it, I'll just treat this as a bad fate, follow me, but be obedient!"

The first time I saw the child smile, the colorless eyes showing the sparkle of sapphire.

Looking at the current condition of the little girl, it is already a miracle to be able to chase here.

Reaching out and hugging the little girl, the little girl showed a surprised expression, but then quietly leaned into my arms.

Now she has an inexplicable sense of security, and she falls asleep in my arms like this.

"This kid is so light, it looks like it will take a while to recover."

I arrived at the nearest town in Araba just before dusk, which was a rest stop for merchants, so it was also a commercial town.

Even at night, it is very lively, with all kinds of goods on both sides of the road, and merchants selling their wares to passing travelers and merchants.

I stopped in front of a hotel, and now I am not short of money, so I asked for the best room to stay in.

"It's really a VIP room, even the bathroom is so high-end."

The whole room can be described as luxurious, the room is about 70 square meters, and there are various exquisite patterns of furniture inside.

The bathroom had a large bathtub with soap that only the wealthy could use, and tiled floors.

"No wonder it costs ten gold coins a night."

I woke up the little girl and told her to eat the dinner that the waiter had just served, and I began to drain the water and prepare for the little girl to wash it thoroughly.

The water in the bathtub is stored in a container, and a special person heats it using alchemy, so that the water released is hot water.

"Can I take a shower by myself?"

The little girl was eating in her mouth, tilting her head, and looking at me with a puzzled expression.

"Okay."

The little girl took off her clothes, and she did not show any signs of resistance, and it seemed that the life of a slave had not taught her the common sense.

Skinny body, clumped hair. I washed her with hot water and taught her how to wash herself.

It didn't take long for the water in the bathtub to turn black, and it still emitted a foul smell, so to speak, chemical weapons.

Empty the water and refill it with clean water, this time I let the little girl wash it by herself, although she was a little reluctant, but she was obedient and did it herself.

"What's your name?"

The little girl shook her head and said.

"I don't have a name, and a slave doesn't deserve a name."

“...........”

I didn't know what to say at this point, so I put my clothes on her body after she had washed her body.

"Sure enough, it's a beautiful embryo, and when your blood color improves a little, it should be even cuter than my master."

Touched her head, told her to go to bed and said.

"I'll take you shopping for clothes tomorrow, and then your name will be Alice."

The little girl, who finally had her name, had an excited smile on her face, and she held the sword-shaped pendant on her chest, as if to tell her mother that she was having a good time now.

This sword-shaped pendant is a relic of her mother, I heard that her father gave it to her, and I feel that this sword-shaped pendant seems to have some secret.

The next morning, as is customary, I opened my eyes early in the morning, and turned my gaze to look at the girl lying beside me.

Her little hands were gripping the corners of my clothes, and she sighed, obviously sleeping in her own bed, but she didn't know when she ran to my bed.

I moved my body to try to leave, and the next moment, Alice was awakened and hugged me tightly.

"Uh, it's hot! Let go! ”

Alice, who was a little dazed, finally woke up and walked away from my body.

"Is this a conditioned reflex?!"

After changing her clothes and washing, and then combing Alice's hair, after last night's struggle, Alice finally graduated from Black Monkey.

Looking at her smooth silver hair, I couldn't help but sigh that Alice's hair quality is so good.

After breakfast, I'm going to go out today to buy some clothes for Alice.
