Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

"..."

Are you really listening?

Is that why you feel a little shaken?

early.

He went out.

Not only is it about finding a house to rent, but it's also about the clothes I mentioned, right?

After spending almost a month together, I already knew that he was a person who said one thing and thought another.

Before I became what I am now, I also thought about the future and the so-called standards for choosing a partner according to what my parents said.

First, I hate people who are weaker than me.

Second, it has to look pleasing to the eye.

If that hadn't happened, maybe I would have liked him.

After all, it can protect me and my home. Whether it is pleasing to the eye or not... At first, I hated it when they always threatened to dig up my grave. But now I think it is quite pleasing to the eye.

Sometimes I feel stupid.

Do you take me for a fool?

The dagger and his are two different things, I can't even confuse them. Besides, I can hear it.

But I'm tired of it.

Along the way, I saw him talking to others. I saw them laughing, and they were probably talking about something funny... but I couldn't laugh.

I also saw sad things.

A farmer's child seems to have a brain problem and will never be a normal person. The farmer is also blind. But I don't feel sad, I think that's his fate. Just like me. No sympathy or charity is needed.

I stayed in the room and only saw the curtains being blown up. It had no life of its own and could only passively and ignorantly accept everything. Without a heart, it would naturally not feel pain.

I set off.

I know he won't be back in a short time.

He touched my ears and gave me two options: one was to hide them in my hair, and the other was to make me look like someone else.

I chose one. He seems to be very good at braiding girls' hair. It's obviously designed to cover the ears...but I think it's very beautiful. Maybe it's even better than the braids my mother braided for me.

Where is the Explorers Guild?

Not hard to find.

The highest point in each town has a "sword" totem, and it is the place that most people dare not enter.

【No entry for outsiders】

There was a clearly visible sign hanging at the door. No one was guarding it, so I just had to go inside and announce my identity. Even if he wanted to keep me, he would give up because it would be too much trouble. No one else would be so strange as to do nothing after catching me and not give me a chance to die.

When I arrived at the Explorers Guild, I had a chance to die after being sold at a price by others.

"..."

I tried to move my feet, but someone grabbed my shoulders.

"Want to go in and do business?"

A familiar voice lingers in my ears.

Turning back, I saw him smiling... holding a cloth bag in his hand. Although he was smiling, it was completely different from before.

"What are you two doing at the entrance of the Explorers Guild? Didn't you see the sign?"

"Sorry, sorry, my sister just got separated from me."

"Watch out, trespassing in this place is no joke."

"..."

Someone from the Explorers Guild went out, frowning. If I open my mouth and tell him who I am and who he is, will I be abandoned?

I did not say.

12 month 10 day.

noon.

I didn't say anything along the way, and neither did he.

"Here are the clothes you wanted."

He spoke only after returning to the hotel.

When I opened the bag, I found a piece of clothing that was so luxurious that I was stunned. The color was too bright.

"Want to turn yourself in?"

"..."

"I feel like if I go there and walk into a trap, I'll give up because of the trouble."

Is not it?

What's the point of getting into so much trouble because of me?

"Rare species like you won't die after you go there."

"Do you know what a guinea pig is?"

"..."

"They would not want you to die, a life worse than death. Do you want that?"

“…I don’t want to live anymore.”

"..."

"What do you want? I said I didn't want to live, so why did you keep running with me? It's not my body, nor is it for selling for money. I don't understand."

I picked up the dress.

tear up.

destroy.

"It's pointless... Mom's dead. For whom?"

"I can see it."

"You? I appreciate your help in revenge. I've also thought about repaying you."

"..."

"But why can't you just let me go? Ha..."

I was a little breathless. I was oppressed by an inexplicable emotion.

He won't understand.

I can't do anything as I watch all the warmth I have disappear before my own eyes.

is it?

I thought he knew nothing, but he was stopped again.

If you tear off this dress in front of me, you can't treat me the same way as before, right? Then, torture me? That would be easier than doing push-ups, torturing me in revenge, and maybe it would make it easier for me to forget that I'm still alive.

12 month 10 day.

Night.

I didn't plan to eat.

He didn't pay attention either.

12 month 11 day.

I still hadn't eaten or drunk anything until the evening. I started to feel dizzy.

"Can you continue to resist? I only bought one portion of food."

"..."

Eating in front of me and making noises on purpose.

I gritted my teeth.

12 month 12 day.

noon.

I still hadn't eaten anything, and I was too exhausted to speak. My lips were all dry and peeling.

The vision is blurry.

He seemed to be trying to feed me something, but I set my teeth and refused to accept it.

"Let me tell you a story."

"Forget it, I'm not good at telling stories. Just be hungry, your body won't lie."

"..."

Did I drink the water subconsciously?

The chapped lips were not that prickly. I opened my eyes again, and he was not in the room.

12 month 12 day.

Night.

He came back, covered in blood.

"bad luck."

"We have to leave immediately."

"..."

I didn't have the energy to walk. I didn't want to walk.

"pay close attention."

Carry me on your back.

"Damn it, they thought the most dangerous place was the safest. Now it's convenient for them to call for help. One or two is fine, but dozens is a bit of a bullying."

Blood suddenly invaded my nose. The smell was pungent.

not understand.

Why? To do this.

His footsteps were very light, and he could jump and shuttle across the rooftops with me on his back. But I could also see people behind him… wearing black tights who could also shuttle across the rooftops, people on the ground holding torches chasing after him, and soldiers in silver armor in front of him.

12 month 13 day.

early morning.

He carried her out of the city on his back. She was already very strong, forcing her way out of the city under the eyes of so many people.

He jumped down from such a high city wall without making a sound.

"With these few, we can catch up with them if we are fast enough."

He was panting, and seemed to be finally tired.

"..."

If you don't take me with you, it will be easy to run away, right?

I looked at her.

"Don't look at me like that."

"Regarding your hunger strike because you thought you wanted to die, I will slowly deal with it later."

"..."
