Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Brave Are Urgent
Full moon.
Fumig.
Grassland.
Abandoned building.
"Spring is full of mixed flowers, and the grass is deep at the beginning of summer. The scented wind arrives from the south and blows me on the pond forest. ”
While muttering Bai Juyi's "Nanchi Drinking Alone", while biting the dog's tail grass and slowly moving forward, the silver-haired boy walked under the moonlight like this, slowly walking towards the building in front of him that looked abandoned for some years.
The tall building, even if it has been dilapidated for a long time, still gives people a strong sense of oppression due to its huge shadow.
Especially, on such a deserted night, it seems even more bleak and secluded.
With the monkey-like figures in front of him, it seemed to be a demon cave with some vicious beasts, quietly waiting for some careless passers-by to stray into it.
"Hey, hey! Can you hurry up! In case you miss the selection of the brave, you will be given a sleep on the floor at night! ”
Ahead, there was an impatient urging, sounding.
A thin figure quickly rushed back, grabbed Kazama's arm, and pulled it forward.
"Hey, hey! Wait! Isn't the so-called brave man long overdue, and then finally kind? If you go so early, people haven't finished the show yet, and they are going to start the curtain call, won't you feel very boring? ”
Stumbling and running after the little girl in front of him, Kazama still tries to convince the other party.
"Moreover, are you sure that the 'Brave Urgent Recruitment' you are talking about is held in this kind of building that has been abandoned for at least decades in the middle of the night?"
"If you don't want to come, don't follow! Hum! Guy who eats rice! ”
The little girl in front of her, looking back, looked quite cute when she turned her face cleaned.
"Eat rice...... Ha...... The guys ......"
There was a long yawn, but it was another face that was exactly the same, and sleepy-eyed stretched out his hand and pulled it towards the corner of Kazama's clothes.
"Eat...... Guy who eats......"
Then came the third, the same face with a hesitant expression.
"Huh? I brought some buns with me, right? ”
Is it tolerable or unbearable?! Obviously, when you are eating, you guys are the ones who eat the most fragrant buns, right?!
"What has been given to Sister Kite is Sister Kite's, of course it is not yours!"
“……”
Unexpectedly, it makes sense.
But sure enough, it's not okay to admit defeat like this!
"At least, I didn't betray you...... You see, you have been lying to your sister that you are studying hard in the Garden of Eden, but you are not touching porcelain everywhere. I haven't debunked any of this. Shouldn't you thank me for a while? ”
"You! Hum! When we become brave, even if Sister Kite knows, she will forgive us! ”
"...... who will forgive us"
"Will forgive us. Probably ......"
dragged forward fiercely, although the mouth kept talking, but the three little guys had no intention of slowing down at all.
Finally gave up.,Ran with them helplessly.,But Kazama's feathered eyes swept over the little heads from time to time.。
There, in places covered by shaggy hair, there were several shocking scars, which appeared and disappeared from time to time.
With the bright moonlight, it reflects a shallow bleakness.
"No, that's their mother, who deliberately helped them lose it, whether it's the tail or the ears. Because of this, it will not be easy to be recognized as an orc at a glance, and you will not be discriminated against from all over the world since childhood......"
The words of the kite still lingered in my ears, with that sigh-like expression.
Giving up for the sake of life, enduring pain for the better, the shape of love is sometimes far more cruel than we think.
"That'...... Your parents...... Will you forgive them? ”
I remember that Confused once said, "When I was sleeping, I suddenly disappeared and provoked ......".
In other words, abandoned...... Whatever the reason, whether on the initiative or out of desperation......
His footsteps suddenly slowed down.
The three heads, brushing the ground together, turned around.
"Ahh Well, I didn't mean to make you cry. Yes, I'm sorry! It's true...... I'm sorry ......."
Fluster.
Caught off guard.
Facing the three pairs of sobbing eyes, Kazama raised his feathers, and for a while, he was a little at a loss.
"Forgive or something...... When Uncle Ben becomes a brave man, he will naturally forgive them! ”
He turned his head stubbornly, but his eyes were still flickering slightly, and his small palm suddenly shook off Kazama's arms, and he ran wildly.
"Hey!"
Like, messed up......
Stretching out his hand and opening his mouth slightly, Kazama Hiroha sighed in annoyance, suddenly bent down, and tied the remaining two little guys one in each hand to his waist.
"Wait! Wait! When you are brave or something, you can't leave your companions behind and take the lead! ”
"The hell cares about you! Anyway, you can't be it! ”
"......, what if I do?"
The little figure suddenly stopped, turned around, and grimaced vigorously.
"If you do, we will sleep on the floor at night, and you will sleep with your sister; If you don't, you're going to sleep on the floor! ”
Uh......, it seems that if you don't do it, you won't lose it...... At least they were ready to sleep on the floor......
Kazama raised his feathers, was slightly stunned, and when he raised his head, the other party had already rushed out, like a wild monkey, and disappeared into the lush grass.
All that remained was a scar of grass that kept parting, and it swooped straight towards the shadow of the abandoned building.

"Next!"
"It's coming! Here it comes! Here it comes! Hey, hey, it's finally my turn! ”
"Hmm...... Unqualified. ”
"Huh? I haven't even tested yet, and you say it's not qualified? ”
"If you say you are not qualified, you are not qualified, what are you yelling about? Come on! Come on! Next! ”
"Let's go! Leper, you know you can't even get in the door when you look at you like that. ”
"Hey! Dead Kema, can you be this body, I see you ......"
"Hmm...... Pass the first level, let's go in. ”
"Huh? Can this guy qualify? Why can't I? Are you mistaken?! ”
"Yelling what? What are you yelling about? Unqualified is unqualified, where is so much nonsense, we are a team of professional screening braves, bringing together dozens of famous teachers in the industry, small class training, semi-closed management, tailor-made selection training content, to ensure that those who pass the test become 100% brave, but people like you who are misaligned, the sky is gray, and they exude obscene temperament, they don't even have the qualifications for the test, so let's go back early! ”
"I ...... This bullshit brave, I can't do it! ”
"Hey, leper, don't say that grapes are sour if you can't eat them, when I become a brave man and return home, I will remember to invite you to eat wine!"
The middle-aged man, who was shouting loudly and was as thin as a wine bottle, finally entered the small black room in front of him with the label of "qualification testing room" under the urging of the interviewer with excitement on his face.
His companion, on the other hand, passed by Kazama and the others with a stupid face, cursing and walking out without looking back.
"Uh...... I didn't expect that there are really brave recruits here......"
Looking at the scene that had just happened in front of him speechlessly, Kazama raised his head suddenly, confirmed again, and glanced at the exaggerated banner above his head with six big characters written in yellow on a red background: "Brave Urgent Recruitment".
Then, nodding slightly, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it at the smug Nande shrewdly in front of him.
The fluffy hair unexpectedly flows with a comfortable feel.
"Of course! This is the news that Uncle Ben spent a gold coin to ask for from the 'Three Unknowns' grandfather, how can it be fake? ”
Hurriedly shook off Kazama's claws, and his dark and snowy eyes glared fiercely, and he said angrily.
"Hmm...... But, you see, so many people have been sifted out, are you sure, do you still have to try......"
The noisy hustle and bustle, the long queue, and the frustrated faces that kept passing by...... Kazama Yangha, who was still a little expectant, suddenly became a little empty.
At least, he has completely lost hope for the three little kids around him, as for himself...... Let's see if you can go to the little black room first......
"Of course!"
This, unexpectedly, was the answer of three people in unison.
Even the little guy who had been half-asleep suddenly widened his eyes and looked full of confidence.
So, the group, just like that, began to wait with confidence.
One...... Two...... Three...... Four......
All the time, until ...... People go to the building, empty and lonely.
Looking around in a daze, he swept around the empty building where there was only one interviewer and one, two, three, three little guys, and five people, including himself, Kazama suddenly felt a little sad.
It seems that this so-called "brave emergency recruitment" is really just here to amuse people......
In the end, including the lucky ones who happily entered the small black room for testing, they were all screened out without exception, leaving only Kazama Yangyu, the four guys at the end of the queue who had belatedly arrived, and had not yet started the test.
"Next!"
"Wow! It's finally Uncle Ben's turn! ”
Finally, has it begun......
