rose kingdom
Royal capital
Nika District

Today is Sunday, the holiday time of Wangdu Academy of Magic.

"Wow ah ah!"

The girl's desolate cry echoed in the narrow room.

Simple and clean bed,

A whole body was wrapped in a quilt, and what seemed to be a humanoid creature was constantly rolling on the bed like a caterpillar.

She rolls into an O shape for a while, and rolls into an L shape for a while, which makes people feel very embarrassing.

In the end, I couldn't hold my breath anymore, and a small head popped out of the quilt.

Under the long silver-gray hair is a delicate and gentle girl's face, anyone who sees it must praise the girl next door!
It's a pity that as soon as she opened her mouth, that warm and watery temperament disappeared completely.

"Damn it, why is sister Lisa's bread delivery so slow!"

"Did they go to plant wheat?"

Irena looked at the closed wooden door of the house, and shouted with thoughts on her face.

According to the usual practice, you need to pay 7 copper coins to pick up the white bread from Lisa Bakery, and you need to add 3 copper coins for delivery (usually delivered by the idle whistle).

Maybe it's because the store is too busy today, or the whistlers are off work collectively.
As a result, the bread that Irena ordered in advance was not delivered, and this was the scene in front of me.

Don't wonder why she doesn't live at the Academy of Magic.

This heavyweight freshman was too expensive for the rental fee of the college dormitory (in fact, the maintenance fee), and Vivienne and Hermione didn't live on campus, so no one played with her (seriously doubt that this was the main reason).

That's why I chose to rent a house off-campus.

"Gulu Gulu~~~~"

A burst of strange sounds came from the quilt.

It was a stomach that hadn't eaten all day was protesting.

"Damn it, I clearly remember that I had already eaten yesterday, why are you still hungry!

"I remember there was a piece of bread left from last night, where did I put that bread?"

Irena wrapped her body in a quilt and turned her perspective, but unfortunately she didn't find the leftovers from last night.

Hiding food is one of Irena's unique skills.

Due to the special living environment when she was a child, Irena developed a habit of hiding leftover food, which has not changed until now.

Her food stashing skills are really high.

How high is it exactly?

Even the food she hid herself, she couldn't find it herself.

The tidy room is empty.

The gray-haired girl looked at the flimsy grain storage barrel in the corner with a look of despair on her face:

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo girl!"

The painful groaning lasted for a while before it gradually disappeared.

Through the completely soundproof wooden house walls, the rustling sound of dressing can be heard.

After a while.

"boom!"

The door of this small wooden house of no more than ten square meters was suddenly opened.

The winter sun was extraordinarily bright, instantly illuminating the decaying narrow log cabin.

"Eyes! Eyes! Ah!"

The girl covered her eyes and yelled.

Suddenly, she found that the color of the sun was not right between her fingers.

It feels a little red.
"Huh? It's already afternoon? That's okay."

A gust of cold wind poured into the girl's collar, making her shiver uncontrollably.

Irena rubbed her eyes with dark circles, and finally dispelled the remaining drowsiness.

She is wearing a simple wind mage robe (the cheapest black robe) today, with furry rabbit slippers on her feet.

But the slippers seemed a bit worn out, with a small hole in the toe, exposing a white little toe.

Looking at the bluestone streets with people coming and going in the distance.

"Damn it, it's going to add unnecessary distance again."

She sighed, and finally set foot on the journey to get the bread.

This is No. 11 Mink Street, three streets away from Lisa Bakery.

Irena didn't even take the novice wand issued by the academy.

She just clutched her belly and walked straight towards the bakery.

"Hopefully get there before starving to death"

Sunset
The purple-red sun unique to winter is slowly setting, and the new moon hidden behind the sun is slowly rising.

The streets of Nika District are still full of voices and riots.

The narrow streets are lined with stalls, and dilapidated signs on the walls list the prices of various goods.

The old bluestone brick road is rough, and several children are playing with kicking stones. Occasionally, hawkers pass by, pushing their products among the crowd.

On a quiet corner of the street, three burly punks were standing there.

The three dressed up differently, but they all wore green hats of different styles.

This is the notorious Cuckold Gang in Nika District. It is a group of idle gangsters who specialize in stealing and robbery for a living.

Among the three gangsters, one was thin and holding a dagger, the other was a fat man holding a wooden stick, and the last one was a muscular man holding a machete in his hand.

They were walking towards a young man in the alley in a surrounding posture.

The boy was about eleven or twelve years old, and he was wearing tattered clothes made of patches. Looking at the gray armband in his hand, it proved that he was a newcomer to the capital.

[Whistle also has civil organizations similar to management associations, and wearing a cuff on the wrist is a way of expressing identity.However, due to the lack of a serious management mechanism, the whistlers are actually fighting on their own, making this association almost exist in name only. 】

"You guys, what are you going to do?"

Leaning his back against the bluestone wall, the young man turned his head, with a terrified expression on his face, and there was no way to retreat.

"Boy, obediently hand over all valuables on your body, they are ours now!"

The leading gangster held a dagger and raised it high, as if it could stab the little boy's chest at any time.

"Hand them over now, or I promise you'll regret it."

The young boy trembled with sweaty palms and said:
"Please don't hurt me, I have nothing on me to give you, really."

The boy's name is Chiya,
In order to take care of his bedridden mother and bad gambling father, 11-year-old Qi Ya had to come out to live.

Making a whistle was the easiest way he could think of to make money. Today was the first time he came out to work as a whistle, but he didn't expect to be blocked by three gangsters on the way to the city gate.
The leading gangster obviously didn't believe what this guy said.

He put the square-shaped dagger to his mouth, stretched out his slender tongue and licked it fiercely, and shouted arrogantly:
"Little bastard, don't try to deceive us! I know you must have something good hidden on your whistle."

"Also, what is that swelling in your belly!"

He stretched out his dagger and pointed at Kiya's bulging abdomen.

It was because the mother was worried about Qi Ya going out alone, so she specially handed him the only 45 copper coins left at home, and asked him to eat something good at noon, so as not to tire herself.

"This is. This is"

Qi Ya was sweating profusely, his eyes were wandering around, but he didn't know how to escape.

This is a dead end, the entrance has been blocked by three gangsters, unless he can fly, there is no way to escape!
But those 45 copper coins are already the only property of the whole family. If they are handed over, what will mother eat?
"This kid really has money in his pocket, bring it to me."

The three gangsters laughed at the young man with big mouths, and reached out to grab his money bag.

Looking at the ugly faces of the gangsters, as well as their strong muscles, Qi Ya couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

The black cloak was covered with dust and dirt, making it look particularly wretched.

It's not that the people on the road haven't seen this, but they seem to have gotten used to it.

No one came to help the teenager, and no one tried to stop the gangsters.

Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths.

Nika District is a place of violence and injustice, where the poor and helpless suffer in silence from exploitation from all sides.

Just when Qi Ya looked desperately at the three gangsters surrounding him.

Suddenly, a clear and excited voice came from behind the three of them.

"Oh, this man has the beauty of a fish and a wild goose, with gray hair, the light of his beauty and talent can't help but squint his eyes when he sees the sun, and he is as beautiful as a blooming flower. Who is it?"

"what?"

The three gangsters were shocked, this familiar tone, this familiar opening statement.

Could it be
The three of them turned their heads slowly, looked at the black figure with the pointed hat and his back to the sun, opened his eyes wide, and pointed at her with trembling fingers.

"You, you. You are that crumb demon"

The corner of the girl's mouth twitched, and she hastily interrupted:
"That's right, it's me, Irena!"

The light of the setting sun shone on the girl's body, and it also fell on Qi Ya's heart.
