CHAPTER XXXVIII

The hound's fangs were slowly approaching, and Cesola could clearly smell the stench coming from it, which was worse than the dung pit next to her.

But the current situation did not allow her to cover her nose, she curled up into a ball like a hedgehog, but her body could not provide her with sharp thorns, but only a thin layer of tattered clothes with I don't know how many patches were patched.

Everyone could see that this ten-year-old child could not escape the mouth of the vicious dog, and the scene of flesh and blood was already vivid.

And at stake

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

Out of nowhere, several silver knives flashed at the hound, and the sharp knives slid through its neck, pierced its eyes, and cut its chewing muscles, and the hound, which had no time to make any screams, fell on Cesaura's body covered in blood.

Cesola felt like she was almost suffocating, her heart didn't dare to beat too much as if it was pinched by an invisible hand, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, holding her head and curling up on the ground.

Until............

"Hey! Why haven't you been so embarrassed for a few days that you've been chased around by a dog? Where did the courage to take a knife to block the road and rob has gone? ”

A girl of the same age in a maid's costume walked slowly from not far away, her face showed a hint of a mocking smile that could only be seen on a bad friend, her short white hair showed a much stronger luster in the sunlight than Sisola, and her red eyes stared at Sisola

"I said that I asked you to go to Sister Tori to take D-class tasks to earn some pocket money, although there are not many there, but it should be enough for you to live alone, right? Really, I said hello. ”

Diana came to Sisola's front and helped her up.

"Sister Tori just gave me a hard beating, don't you know that the kind of guy who greets me with a smile for a long time is also the kind of smiling tiger when he talks, how terrifying it looks like."

Diana, dressed as a maid, hugged her shoulders and trembled exaggeratedly, as if she didn't want to remember something terrible.

"Huh? Diana? When did you get back?! ”

Cesola wiped the blood from her face and looked at the person in front of her in surprise.

"Originally, I came back with the caravan in the morning, but after being trained by Sister Tori for a few hours, I was mistaken now. Speaking of which, what are you doing here? How did you get into this kind of thing? ”

Diana kicked the big dog that had fallen to the ground, and looked at Sisola on the other side with a pair of dead fish on top of her.

"Forehead ......"

Sisola scratched her face in embarrassment, and said a little to herself.

"Anyway, you don't care! A slum thug like me doesn't have a few enemies! ”

Hey, do you need to be so proud to say this?

"Alas~ Let's go"

Diana carried the big dog on her back, not caring about its blood staining her clothes.

"What are you doing with it?"

Diana: "Huh? Are you scared silly? We used to even catch rats and cockroaches and roast them, you still hate this, such a big dog is enough for the two of us to eat for a while, remember that we will buy two pieces of tofu in a while, we will eat dog meat hot pot tonight!! ”

Looking at the heartless smirk on Diana's face, Sisola shook her head helplessly and followed.

………………

Inside Diana's empty house, Sisola pressed Diana's shoulders with both hands, clenched her teeth viciously, and the expression on her face was gloomy to the extreme.

"I said that I was attacked by a group of Assassins and stayed. Don't worry, this little injury won't delay me at all, I'll grab meat with you later! ”

Diana pressed the agitated and indignant group of Sisolas back to the newspaper on the ground and sat down, stretching out her mechanical arm made of steel and dancing nimbly in front of her.

"You see, this manipulator is really easy to use, isn't it? I dare say it can make any movement of a human left hand! ”

And Sisola lowered her head all the time without saying a word, the pure malice revealed in her eyes made Diana a little moved, her slender hands clenched into fists, she was not a fool, Diana always couldn't help but caress her left hand She saw it very clearly.

At first, she didn't understand why Diana wore a pure black long-sleeved glove on her hand on a hot day, but now it seems that the reason is simple, isn't it?

"Alright, alright! Come and eat! The world is the biggest! I guess you haven't eaten any good food lately! I'm different, you don't know how delicious the princess's working meal is! ”

In front of him, a large mouthful of dog meat and tofu in the pot was handed to Cesola in a bowl.

Taking the bowl of dog meat, she saw her emaciated reflection in the soup noodles, if she had money, Diana would not have accepted the task of Princess Rausch, right?

If you do all kinds of tasks and odd jobs like Diana, you can lend her money when she loses it, right? If you work harder......

This girl who is always giggling won't lose her arm, right?

"Tick~" A transparent tear slipped through the sunken cheek and dripped into the rice bowl.

"Hey, hey~ good end, you cry wool!"

"Also, it's not because the hot pot you made is too unpalatable!!"

As if to cover up, Sisola picked up the rice bowl in her hand and raised her head and stuffed it into her mouth with a big gulp, two tears flowing.

"Obviously you haven't eaten yet→_→"

On the other side, in a hot spring club, the middle-level swordsman who was blown up by Sisola and turned into a grandson was standing at the door at the moment, looking anxiously waiting for something in the distance.

"Why is it so slow? Why haven't you come back yet? ”

He leaned against the doorpost with his shoulders crossed, and the index finger of his right hand kept running little by little on his arm.

His hound had timberwolf blood, not to mention a skinny little girl, even two or three adult men. But now an afternoon had passed, and he hadn't seen a single dog's hair.

"You know what? Today there was an old dog in the slum chasing and biting a little girl. ”

At this time, the conversation of two passers-by came.

"I've heard, I've heard it, I guess that dog is the pet of a rich family, otherwise how can it be so rampant, although it is a slum, but it is also human life."

"How's that little girl?"

"Otherwise, there are still many good people in this world, and there are kind-hearted people who help, and the dog must have been slaughtered."

The intermediate swordsman's eyes widened when he heard this, that was the dog he had raised for seven years, and he was slaughtered so easily? His dog, not to mention a little girl in the slums, is not as valuable as a single hair of the entire slum combined!!

He picked up the heavy sword in the room and strode towards the slum.

He wants to let that little girl know one thing, this is a world where the strong are respected, no money and no power is just an animal to be slaughtered, there is no right at all, even life will be easily taken away by others.
