Are you all right? Yes, but what was that explosion? According to what the communications squad said, it seems to have come from outside, but we still don’t know the source. I see. I just received a message that two of the rescued children jumped into this cave. You’re kidding me! What is Callum doing?!
What were the children like? A male and a female, around ten years old. Details haven’t been confirmed yet, but they got away using a special water ability. Those damn kids! Sefec! Val! What happened to Kemet? Kemet… Kemet got… trapped over there! {pos(384,396)}{an7}”The Merciless Princess and the Order” Why weren’t you together?!
The rubble fell down… Dammit! Tch… This isn’t gonna work. This is bad! It’s about to collapse! It can’t! At this rate… Dammit! Kemet! Kemet, answer me! Those of you that can evacuate now, do so! Everyone else, clear away the rubble! Yes, sir! Kemet! Kemet! Arthur, evacuate that child as well.
Well then, they’ll head out first. But… Please take care of my younger brother. No! I’m staying with Val! Put me down! Captain Alan, please watch over everyone. I said, put me down! Yes, sir! Arthur! You absolutely cannot let Lady Jeanne die! Yes, Captain! Val. Huh? Kemet?! This is bad! We have to evacuate!
That’s enough! You guys get to the exit! Val?! We can’t do something like that! You’re leaving too! Stop that! Are you guys new recruits? Or do you just not remember?! I am a criminal!
I’m a serious criminal who was caught at an attack on the knights and was taken further down by a fealty contract! Leave me be! Val! Don’t say it! Don’t say it. You will NOT order me to do anything! Val… with your bare hands and Earthen Wall special ability… Stop. Block us off. Thanks.
Jeanne! Sir Arthur! Are you injured? No, we’re fine. How’s Philip? The knights are watching over him right now. Where are Kemet and Val?! The two of them are still in there. No, you can’t! Let me go, you dummy! Kemet… and Val are…! What are you doing? Calm down. I hate this.
If only this was something that happened in the game, I may have known about it beforehand. I’m powerless, no matter how much time passes… Jeanne. To be honest, this is only a guess, but… Val! This is an order! If you can hear me then answer me! Why the hell are you there?!
Is Kemet safe? Not yet, but he’s right there! Y’all hurry up and get- Val! Remove the earthen wall right now! What?! Why’d you come back?! Val, reach out and grab Kemet’s hand right now! Kemet! Hold on to Val’s hand!
Hey! What’re you trying to do?! I can’t pull him through a hole like this by force! If you’ve grabbed Kemet’s hand, then with your special ability- You know I can’t move this rubble with my ability! It’s not just about the rubble! I got his hand! As your master, I order you!
Control everything in this cave! I can’t do… How the hell… did I do that? Kemet! Val! Stupid kid… Why’re you two always… doing stupid things… always, always…! I’m so glad. Did… Did you do this, Val? I don’t know. No, it was you and Val who did that.
Let’s see… Kemet, what do you understand about your special ability? Sefec’s the only one who knows about it. To be honest, this is only a guess, but… there’s a possibility that Kemet’s special ability is to increase the capacity of a user. Increase the capacity? Take a look at Sefec.
That’s how powerful her water ability is, however… When Sefec was holding Kemet’s hand, she sent those human trafficking men flying, and it was powerful enough to destroy the cell. I don’t believe this. Sefec said that since my special ability is so incredible, I can’t know about it until I’m older.
Wha?! No! No way no way no way?! What in the world is this?! Kemet! Val! Thank goodness… Thank goodness! “Yay, we’re saved!” I wonder if that’s what they’re thinking. Huh. Ah, but they sure gave a good show. The ground, like, moved. What was that?
A special ground ability or something? What kind of guy was that? Tippet! You’re making sure the knights don’t notice us, right? Those bombs that fell earlier, it’d be a pain to carry the remaining half home with us, wouldn’t it? What’s going on? Hey, Sefec! Kemet! Val! Sefec! You damn…! Val! Val!
Why… did I end up like this? Me, of all people, doing this for a kid… I wouldn’t have believed it myself a little while ago. Me, a pathetic, ruined man. My mother abandoned me in a low-class trash dump when I was seven. Hit by stones, robbed… I was almost killed on countless occasions.
I jumped into a get-rich-quick proposal, but in a few years, I’d lost everything, and I was reduced to being a man under a fealty contract. After a nonsensical order, I was driven out of the castle.
For the time being, I decided to go back to the low-class residence for the first time in a while. There’s nothing over there. Eh? You live here? Nope. Just sleeping, eating, and hiding here. Oh, really… Yeah, take that! Trash! You slept well, huh? Why are you here?
Because I know that it’s safest to be next to someone like you. What? What’s up with the little guy? He’s my younger brother now. “Now”? So, he’s a stranger? I’m sure you’ve got enough on your plate in a dump like this, but what are you gonna do with all that baggage?
He isn’t baggage. He’s the only family I have. Besides, if I’m not with him he’ll be killed. And you expect me to be able to protect you? You can protect us from now on. That’s why I said I want to be around you. What?! At the beginning, I just kept running away.
Until a few days before, I had been catching and selling numerous kids that were about that size, but due to the fealty contract, I couldn’t do that either. No matter where I went, the kids silently followed after me. Hey, Val.
I couldn’t do anything about it, so I treated it the same as if I didn’t see them. I know, right? A month passed, then two, and at about the third month, I had somewhat gotten used to them. Yo, kids. How long do you two plan on sticking around me? Um… forever? Seriously…?
Mister… is your name Val? Yeah? And what about it? Val… Speaking of what’re your names? “Trash”? “Vermin”? “Scum”? That’s what everyone says. Ah, “Little Brother”! So I gotta live with “Trash” and “Scum” for the rest of my life now? Annoying! Sefec, Kemet. From now on, call each other by those names.
It’s from a foreign language. “Sefec” is the number 7, “Kemet” is 3. Same as the ages you two should be around. Sefec, Kemet. Kemet, Sefec. From the next day on, the kids started talking to me on their own. I had no choice but to tell them all about money.
Soon after, the kids started selling water and to earn some. That was also about the time that I learned Sefec was a special ability user that produces water. Then… Eat this. Hot! We can have some too?! It’s in return for the water. I’m not interested in just taking it from you. Yummy!
I’ve never had meat before! Kids… Val! Val! Yeah? What’s up? I got a fish! A fish! I got a fish in exchange for the water! We got a big one ‘cause they couldn’t sell it! Wow. I heard it’d go bad in the sun so we’re going home early! Come home early today, please!
Sure. What’s goin’ on, Val? Gettin’ the family together for a meal today? Man, wish that were me! What? They’re not really my family. We just eat together and sleep in the same bedroom. What the hell… are you doing?! Who’re you? Val! Val! You our new merchandise?
Hm? That man, he’s not from this country. He’s not? Then should we just kill him? Val! Shut yer traps! Y-you…! Nah, it’d be better to put him to good use. Bring five people here by evening two days from now. You’ll provide five people from this nation.
Do that, I’ll give you back those two kids. Best of luck! Which sort of punishment do you wish for? Val! Val! …even if you are attacked or something precious is taken from you… Shut up! …you cannot resist or retaliate with your fists. Give ‘em back…
If you are ever faced with an impossible situation, Give ‘em back… Give ‘em back… and you wish from your heart for someone to help you, Give ‘em back, give ‘em back, give ‘em back, give ‘em back, give ‘em back! Come back to me. Give ‘em back!
I didn’t have a single thing that was precious to me. I’d never had anything like that. That’s why I could carelessly do anything, without a second thought. And yet… It wasn’t too bad of a life, considering. Open your eyes, Val! Wha… This is an order! Grab onto my hand!
What the hell are you doing?! You can’t die- Neither can you! You’re my subject, right?! Pride! Stale! Val! Shut it, you’re hurting my ears. Seriously… This family is irritating.
