The end of the evening's work.

One by one, the expressionless laborers returned to the cave where they lived.

The dry bread they had eaten at dinner had already been wiped out by the great physical exertion, and Arthur and Gerald were sitting in their cave with tired faces.

Of course, Gerald and the others are really tired, and Arthur has not recovered for the time being because of the lack of sleep in the past few days.

"Everybody...... Let's get to know each other. ”

After resting for a while, Gerald looked up and looked around.

In this small cave, the original old man and the adult disappeared without knowing when, maybe they are already dead, right?

Only a few eleven or twelve-year-old children were left behind, scattered around the cave with tired faces, and there was a trace of despair in their eyes.

"Acquaintance?"

Hearing Gerald's words, several teenagers were slightly stunned, raised their heads, and looked around.

The cave that could have been able to live in a dozen people was now only six people, and the largest one turned out to be Arthur, who had just arrived today.

"Yes, we have to stick together, don't we?"

Gerald stood up and looked at the people over there, his tone tinged with a hint of encouragement, "Are you willing to wait for death like this?!" ”

“……”

The teenagers who were sitting in different corners looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of unwillingness in each other's eyes.

After all, he is a vigorous teenager, and he always has the idea of not admitting defeat in his heart, how can he accept his fate like those completely desperate adults.

Arthur chuckled softly behind Gerald and stood up with his hands on the ground.

"Gerald is right, you ...... Do you want to die in despair all the time? ”

Wally, Xiu, Simon, Miliana, and ...... The red-haired girl cowering in the innermost corner.

His gaze swept over them, and Arthur spat softly with agitating words.

Unlike Gerald, who was still very immature, Arthur, as the king, coupled with the role of Geass, naturally carried a kind of 'magic' in his tone, which made the eyes of the teenagers present suddenly light up.

"Unwilling!"

Almost subconsciously said this sentence at the same time.

As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.

The original despair seemed to dissipate at this moment, like the sun breaking through the dark clouds.

The distance suddenly narrowed, and several teenagers involuntarily walked to the middle and sat with Arthur and Gerald.

Gerald couldn't help but smile when he looked at this scene.

The first one held out his hand, and the blue-haired boy spoke to the crowd: "Gerald Fernandis." ”

Arthur also stretched out his hand and said his name.

"Wally Buganan."

"Miriana."

"Repair."

"Simon!"

Announcing their names to each other, several eleven or twelve-year-old girls looked at each other and smiled, clasping their hands together.

"So, we ......"

"Wait a minute."

Gerald excitedly wanted to talk about his plan, but Arthur interrupted him.

Looking at the girl in the corner over there, revealing a longing look, the young man smiled, came to her side, and squatted down gently.

Arthur tried to be as gentle as he could, so that the injured kitten in front of him would run away in fear.

But in fact, the girl's eyes lit up when she saw Arthur.

When he was reprimanded by the overseer, the deep impression of the people who came to him like a ray of light was not so easy to dissipate as Arthur imagined.

"Your name is ...... Thur? ”

The girl, remembering Arthur's name, looked up and looked at him with large, bright eyes.

Gerald looked over there and couldn't help but smile.

If it were him, he would have gone over to comfort the girl. Arthur...... Sure enough, I get along well with him.

"Well, my name is Arthur, Arthur Reinhardt." Arthur nodded, smiled and held out his hand, "So, what about you?" ”

"My name is Elusa!" The girl's eyes lit up, but after a moment, they suddenly became a little dim again, "Yes, I'm sorry, I don't have a last name......"

There is no last name.

This is not a strange thing in this world, because for the poor, surnames are really a luxury.

"There's no need to say I'm sorry."

Arthur shook his head, smiled and reached out and gently placed it on the girl's head.

Elusa raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her who was not a few years older than herself with a somewhat dazed expression.

I have to say that Arthur is born with an amiable leadership temperament around him, which makes people can't help but want to be close.

What's more, for girls, Arthur has a more special meaning.

"Since you don't have a surname, how about I give you one?"

"Hmm...... Well? Nodding subconsciously, and when she realized what the boy was saying, Elusa opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"Give, give me a name?"

"What's the matter, can't you? Sure enough, it's still too abrupt......"

"No, it's not," he said, taking Arthur's hand, and there was a hint of urgency in the girl's voice, "just ...... It's just that...... Thank you! ”

"If you want to thank you, why don't you wait until I'm done, maybe Elusa doesn't like the name I gave."

Blinking at the girl, Arthur teased.

"No...... I won't ......" The girl's face was slightly red, and she lowered her head and whispered.

Arthur chuckled, and a trace of crimson hair danced from the palm that covered the girl's head.

"It's beautiful hair, crimson, I like it."

"Hmm......" The girl's head lowered.

"Well, then, let's call Shukaletto?"

"Shukaletto?" The girl looked up and looked at Arthur suspiciously.

"That's right, Shukaletto, it's the same crimson as your hair." Shukaletto, which means crimson.

Shukaleto...... My name ......" The girl murmured softly, the smile on her face gradually spreading, and the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Arthur, you like Shukaletto, don't you?"

"Hmm......" Arthur paused for a moment, "yes, I like crimson." ”

"I see...... I understand. The girl suddenly laughed and held out her hand to the boy, "Hello, my name is Elusa Shukaletto. ”

"Hmm!"

The two hands shook each other, and laughter suddenly came from all around.

The teenagers who had been around for a long time saw this scene and laughed.

At this moment, they are no longer desperate slaves, but normal children, smiling at their friends.

Even if you are in hell, try to seek heaven.

Perhaps, this is the reason why these children were able to achieve 'miracles' and become magicians.

Only by believing in miracles will he appear.

Theoretically, everyone can use magic, but most people don't believe in the 'miracles' they have.

"The journey to the Tower of Paradise is a tribulation for you, but it has opened a bigger door for you."

Arthur muttered softly and looked at the teenagers in front of him with a smile.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, who can say for sure.

But anyway......

Arthur looked at the red-haired girl who was smiling happily.

The first step, and the most important step, was finally preempted by myself.

I'm sorry, Gerald, since you can't give Elusa what she wants, let me protect the fairy queen.

"Complex terrain and the fact that we are all small children...... Well, except for Arthur. Gerald, who was explaining his plan, glanced at Arthur and saw that the other party shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and the boy immediately laughed, "As long as we have patience, find out the terrain here, and find where they park their boats, we can escape from here!" ”

The words made the eyes of everyone present suddenly light up.

"But we won't sail!" Xiu, who had blonde hair, cautiously raised his hand.

The teenager was a little cowardly.

Arthur saw the other party's personality at a glance, but he didn't care too much, smiled softly, and raised his hand: "I will." ”

"Really?!" Gerald's eyes also lit up, he originally wanted to see the situation later, but he didn't expect Arthur to sail.

"Of course." Arthur smiled and nodded.

In this way, all the problems are solved.

Everyone nodded to each other, their faces resolute, and in order to escape, they decided to fight.

Absolutely, absolutely not waiting to die in such a place!
