Episode 199

When I said I would follow the child, Mom and Haku gave me strange looks.

[Why do you have to choose this person when there are so many others…?]

[Is there any reason?]

Of course, there’s no reason for me to tell these two everything about my past.

I said outright that I had no idea what was going on.

[What… … Hmm.]

[If that’s what you’re saying, it must mean something.]

As I held the child’s hand like that, people started to back away in regret, as if they realized that they were not chosen.

“What a waste.”

“It’s been years since I’ve been a stranger… Instead of staying in this outskirts, should I move to that archives too?”

“So. Hey!”

In an instant, the once noisy square became empty, and the child who was holding my hand looked up at me blankly and said.

“Follow me.”

Knock knock.

A child who weakly pulls my arm and then suddenly lets go.

As I followed him silently, Haku muttered behind me.

[… … Just in case, Mr. Morse. Are you in any way related to that child?]

“First of all, it’s my first time seeing your face.”

The fact that the child knew about Southern’s sword meant that there was some kind of relationship between the child and Southern.

And Southern is someone who was previously my subordinate.

“I chose it because of the potential of that relationship.”

[… … Is that relationship somehow related to foreign media?]

I frowned at her voice, which was so cold it felt calming.

“It’s not what you think it is. If it was that kind of relationship in the first place, I would have killed him with my own hands.”

As I said that and raised my hand that held the fraud, Haku, who had been slightly excited, seemed to calm down a bit.

[I apologize. I think I was a bit too cautious as I was stepping into the realm of foreign news.]

“Okay, just know it.”

While we were talking amongst ourselves, the child who had gone to the outskirts of town stopped in front of a building.

“It’s here.”

chin.

The place where the child stopped was a tall, tower-like structure.

“Is this your house?”

“That’s right. I’m a shabby person in a noble place, but come in.”

Squeak.

A child who opens the door and goes in like that.

[… … Don’t you usually say that a noble person lives in a shabby place?]

[It might be confusing because you’re a kid. Anyway, it’s called flexibility.]

I followed the child inside, leaving behind the embarrassed mother and Haku, who was dissing her as if he was breathing.

Phew.

The first thing I saw as I entered was a small bonfire.

‘warm.’

The interior was decorated in a cozy and warm manner, just like a place that appears in a fairy tale or a book for children.

A chimney leading somewhere up there, a fireplace with a bonfire burning in it, and a rough wall with bricks sticking out here and there.

And a leather sofa and a rocking chair made to sit in a circle in front of the fireplace, and a bread basket filled with bread.

It was just that space, but it still didn’t feel cramped.

“Here, sit down.”

Chubby.

The child offered me the only rocking chair, and I sat down on it as requested.

Naturally, all that was left was a leather sofa, and naturally, Haku and Amma ended up sitting next to each other on that sofa.

[… … Are there no other seats?]

“No, another seat.”

After saying that, the child collapsed in front of the stove.

Haku kept his mouth shut, wondering what else he could say to the child who was sitting on the floor because there was no place to sit.

[But I’m an adult, and here you are sitting on the sofa… ]

“I like it here.”

The mother, who was trying to escape, also immediately shut her mouth at the child’s words.

“……So, why did you call us here?”

After the tussle over deciding on a seat was over, I looked straight at the child.

Then, the child immediately took out a book that was on the floor and held it in his hand.

“I want to hear the story.”

“story?”

Clang.

The child turned the first page of the book and continued speaking while showing the empty inside of the book.

“For us, knowledge is power, and everything. But there is a limit to the knowledge we can gain.”

Those words reminded me of a tribe that originally lived in the middle of the desert in the world.

While other places have achieved prosperity through the discovery and development of magic, engineering, and power, this tribe remains primitive in the middle of an unknown desert.

Maybe this world, as a whole, has become like that.

“That’s why we need strangers. We want knowledge from outside, and knowledge we don’t know. And then.”

Tub.

Haku and Amma are startled when they close the book, making a loud noise.

“The knowledge you want, we provide it to you, that’s our law.”

The child’s eyes shine brighter than ever before.

Haku looked at those eyes and asked cautiously.

[Then, can you answer any question we want about knowledge?]

“That’s not it.”

The child shakes his head.

“As I said, the knowledge we have is limited. We will try to obtain the knowledge we don’t have as much as possible, but if the value isn’t right, we can only give you part of it or we can’t give you anything.”

[So, can you give me any kind of knowledge?]

At those words, the boy hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

“The amount may vary, but for now.”

At those words, Mom began to think deeply.

Are you wondering what questions you should ask?

“So, tell me a story.”

[… … Even if it’s just a story.]

The child stared at me intently, holding a book as big as my body in his arms, perhaps because he was expecting it.

Seeing that sight, Haku seemed bewildered and started talking nonsense.

[We don’t know what to tell you.]

“Whatever you say, it doesn’t matter.”

The child whose eyes shined at us as he spoke like that.

While Haku was groaning as if he couldn’t stand the sight of that child, Amma stepped forward first.

[Then can I speak first?]

“Yeah. Okay.”

Mom opened her mouth to look at the child who was turning his gaze like that.

[The day I was first born… … .]

That was the story of Amma’s life.

How did you live, from the moment you were born until you entered this tower?

[… … When my brother first said he was going to go up to the tower, I tried to stop him. Now that I think about it, I should have held on tighter.]

“I understand. That’s what brothers are like.”

How did you live after entering the tower?

[After seeing the growth of the Demonic Cult, I also wanted to be like my brother… … .]

“You must be proud.”

He revealed each and every one of those images, speaking as if he were telling the truth to a child.

And the child never took such words lightly.

They nodded, their eyes sparkled, they sighed together, and even asked questions.

“Then, are you still proud of that brother?”

[Of course! Cheonma is still my eternal brother.]

And whenever she was asked that question, Mom would just smile brightly.

As if he knew the questions would be like that, the child picked out those parts and asked questions.

[… … I don’t want to see our demonic sect collapse.]

“this.”

So in the end, let’s finish all the stories of Amma’s life.

Hakudo, who had been looking at Amma with almost disgust until then, seemed to have calmed down a lot, and the expression on his face as he looked at her became subtle.

Well, judging by the way they frowned again when their eyes met, it seemed like those feelings hadn’t completely gone away yet.

“I heard you well. Now it’s your turn.”

chuck.

Then the next child points to Haku.

[Me, me?! I still have something to say… … .]

“Just do it like you did before.”

Hakudo, who had been flustered and flustered, soon glanced at Amma and took a deep breath to calm down.

[… … Yeah, that guy did it too, so there’s no way I can’t do it.]

[That’s a bit too much.]

[It’s noisy.]

After exchanging words like that, Haku began to speak again, as if the tension had completely eased.

[The manager… … says there are many difficult things.]

Rather than unfolding his life story like Amma, Haku spoke in detail about the things that happened after he became a manager.

[When I first took on the role of manager, I used to see what other high-ranking managers were doing and wonder how they could do it. Now, I find it fascinating that I am doing those same tasks.]

“It’s proof that things are progressing.”

It’s like a story about a new soldier who just entered the army, gradually gaining experience and eventually becoming a worn-out soldier who is used to it.

It was obvious, but it was still an unusual story because it was about one person’s life.

[… … There used to be an administrator who was a shooter. His name was Peril.]

At some point, her eyes began to fill with longing.

[He was such a good person. He taught me again what to do when I made a mistake, and he covered things that came from higher ups. Ha, I wish he had stayed as my mentor all this time… … .]

Stop.

Her face darkened.

[I heard he passed away.]

Everyone held their breath at those words.

[Ranker… … In the first rebellion that those bastards started by joining hands with the foreign press, that’s how my senior passed away.]

“…….”

A child whose eyes open wide in surprise.

At some point, Haku spoke to the child in a tearful voice.

[I… … hate foreign news so much.]

The child couldn’t agree with those words and just listened quietly.

[The feeling of people I was close to… … and people I knew all disappearing one by one… … is so hard… … .]

Pat pat.

Before she knew it, a child had approached her, was hugging her, and patting her on the back.

[Ahhhh… … .]

Knock, knock.

The child comforted her by holding her in his arms as she lowered her head and shed tears as if she did not want to show it.

How much time has passed since then?

[……under.]

She wiped away her red, swollen tears with her fingers and spoke to the child in a wet voice.

[Is this kind of story worth it?]

“……Enough.”

Nod, nod.

The child nodded heavily and then ripped a page out of a book he had picked up from the floor.

Then, in an instant, the page turns into a generous towel.

“First, wipe it off with this. You can cry more.”

[No, it’s okay… … Thank you.]

Swish, swish.

She wiped away her tears like that.

Normally, it would have been my turn to say next, but… … .

“It’s almost time to eat. Let’s eat first.”

As the child spoke, he opened the book and began to create something.

The small table suddenly expands, and soon numerous dishes appear on it.

“I don’t know if it will taste good.”

Haku carefully rolls up a piece of pasta and puts it in his mouth.

Soon her eyes lit up.

[… … It’s so delicious.]

“That’s fortunate.”

Even while eating such a satisfying meal, I still couldn’t take my eyes off the child.

Then, when the child asks to play, he creates a game on the table and enjoys it.

Even when we go outside to see the stars, the night sky is full.

‘… … .’

I didn’t take my eyes off the child who didn’t ask me to tell him anything.

After a long time passed.

Keu …

The two fell asleep as if they were overcome by fatigue.

After I moved the two of them to the bed that had been made and laid them down, the child sat down on the rocking chair where I had been sitting.

“Sit here.”

“Now it’s my turn.”

I sat down on the sofa, facing the guy across the table.

“……There’s something I want to hear from you.”

Unlike before, the child told me clearly what he wanted to hear.

“An old story. Tell me a story from the world before you entered the tower.”

Those words that speak as if they know me.

I sighed at those words.

“……It’s going to be a long story.”

“doesn’t care.”

The eyes of the child who said that were filled with emotions different from the excitement he had felt up until then.

It’s closer to a determined look, as if one had made up one’s mind.

“I want to hear it.”

“……i get it.”

To get a clue about Southern.

As I muttered like that, I fell into the past.

… … Into the old past that I don’t want to remember.
