I was born in a place that was not bright.

[I, ah, have lived in a place that is not dark since I was a child. 】

There is no father, no mother...... Probably the woman who took care of me all the time.

[My parents are alive, but I haven't seen each other a few times. 】

She said that my existence was a mistake.

[Grandpa said that although they don't come here often, they must be very concerned about me.] 】

Even if I didn't want to believe it, I slowly began to loathe myself.

[Even though I didn't believe it, I began to repeat it to myself.] 】

"I was banished to this world by the devil in order to erase some special guys."

[I was guided to this world by the angels in order to warm some special people. 】

My name is-

"Hatred."

[Elija. 】

Sticks, blades, guns,

The weapons were broken to the ground, and the blades were pierced deep into the portraits on the walls.

A boy about seven or eight years old adjusted his breathing and stood up.

He walked to the center of the room, bowed to the only clean portrait in the messy garbage heap, and walked out the door.

It's time to find something to eat.

The hut is independent of the top of the lonely cliff,

He jumped a few times, climbed on the steep rock face,

This is Kanto,

He didn't know exactly where it was.

Even the name 'Kanto' came out of her mouth,

The meaning of its representation, Ah Qiu does not understand very well.

She was stingy with teaching him anything about thinking, stingy with charity and compassion.

So even on the day she left,

He didn't have much sadness,

The only thing left is probably some loneliness.

After that, it's one person.

In a trance, Ah Qiu's finger fell into the air and fell to the ground.

A situation that is very dangerous for ordinary people can still barely cope with it now.

Work hard to adjust your posture in the air and land on the ground in a less injury-prone movement.

He got back on his feet,

If there is anything to thank her, it is this body that has been exercised with absolutely cold and strict means.

"Hello."

A childish female voice sounded,

Ah Qiu turned his face sideways, still maintaining a half-bent posture,

Almost beast-like movements, in the first meeting may bring some discomfort to the girl,

But after a few times, I was able to get used to it.

"Came early today, huh?"

Alicia said to herself,

On the sparsely vegetated mountains, Alijia stepped forward,

She knew that the other man didn't seem to talk much, maybe he didn't listen at all.

It's just that, since I saw it, out of basic politeness, I should always say hello.

After all, isn't he much better now than when he was very vigilant when they first met?

Two,

One climbs between the mountain walls, the other walks on the mountain, seemingly in the same direction.

"Huh?"

It didn't take much time for the two to reach their destination.

Steep cliff wall, erected a sloping dangerous rock,

At that peak, there were some green branches and leaves that moved with the wind.

"Found it."

Alicia wiped the sweat stains from the corners of her forehead,

I heard that there were traces of rare plants in this area, so she would investigate again and again at any cost.

Now, at last, there is a harvest.

Even if it's a lot less than expected, it's enough.

But what was faster than she thought was the boy's movements, and I saw him quickly grab a sharp rock, and take advantage of the momentum to tumble up, and grab a handful between those branches and leaves.

"Excuse me—",

“？”

Ah Qiu raised his head suspiciously, and saw that the girl's face was a little unkind.

Murderous?

Not really.

But there seemed to be something strange about her.

"You're not going to pick them up, are you?"

Isn't this for eating?

Ah Qiu spread his hand suspiciously, looking at the young leaves that produced two or three green fruits.

Don't eat,

What can it be used for?

Even without words, Alijia could read the other person's confusion.

The girl took a deep breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction and chagrin in her heart, and took out a small cloth bag from the small bag she was carrying.

"I have some food here, can I exchange it for those fruits?"

The white cloth was lifted and there were several emerald green shortbreads.

It seems to be much better than the fruit.

Ah Qiu weighed it several times and agreed.

- Ten minutes later,

"You can slow down, I've got other snacks here."

Seeing the boy gobbling up, Alijia hesitated to hand over a glass of water,

Poured all the hot water from the small cup into his throat, Ah Qiu wiped his mouth absently, and lay down satisfied.

"I really ate all ......"

Alicia was a little surprised, "Do these cakes taste good?" ”

She was met with the boy's slight snoring.

People who can't read it......

Alijia shook her head and happily took out the green fruit.

However, I finally got it.

"If only it could be so easy in the future......

Thinking of exploring more unknown and dangerous territories in the future, Alicia sighed in despair.

"Huh?

By the way, if he could-"

In his sleep, Ah Qiu turned over uncomfortably.

A week later –

"These are the ones I brought,

Can you do me a favor? ”

Looking at the pile of colorful snacks in front of him, Ah Qiu looked at the girl suspiciously,

"There are a lot of buds and flowers that I want to get, but I can't collect them with my ability.

So anyway, please—"

The girl bowed her head deeply,

In Alicia's anxious waiting,

Ah Qiu slowly took some shortbread and chewed it in small bites.

"You promised?!"

“......”

What's so catchy about those things?

After delivering the yellow buds, seeing the girl's happy look, Ah Qiu thought incomprehensibly.

"Huh?

Sorry sorry, this is the reward promised to you. ”

Noticing Ah Qiu waiting on the side, Alijia apologized and handed the small bag she was carrying to the other party.

"That-"

“？”

"You don't seem to talk much.

Is it because you are not familiar with it?

How do you communicate with people? ”

“.......”

Speak?

What needs to be said?

Ah Qiu looked at Alijia in confusion,

I've always been alone, and there seems to be no need to speak.

"Now I need your help, it's always easier to talk in words."

Alicia thought about it for a while,

"It's better than this,

Let me teach you some basic vocabulary and words. ”

language

writing

Wouldn't it seem, not bad?

A few months later,

"Joy - joy can be used on people and things that you have a good feeling."

"Flowers?"

Ah Qiu handed over a white flower and asked.

"Well, yes.

I love flowers. ”

Alicia took the little flower and suddenly asked.

"What about Ah Qiu,

What do you like? ”

The boy's gaze slowly drifted,

"Shortbread doesn't work."

“......”

"You can't sleep!"

“......”

Even if you can't eat or sleep, then the rest is probably -

After a few thoughts, Ah Qiu's gaze fell on the girl's face,

"I like—"

"Squad leader!"

The abrupt female voice recalls the sanity of Ah Qiu,

When he raised his head, he found that it was Xiao Wan walking towards him, and the arm that was about to be raised slowly stiffened.

"Look, I've got a big guy back."

The girl was dressed in an orange kimono and stood behind Xiao Huan, equally surprised by the familiar shadow in front of her.

[I haven't seen you in a long time.] 】

"Hmm."

[A-hate. 】

"Alijia."
