"Not bad, sis. Ryuu clapped his hands, deliberately ignoring the shocked little blackhaired sisters - However, it seems that the armor and bones of this lion turned out to be quite hard, since your tender hand was so hurt by the recoil from the blow.
Esdes grinned and looked at her right hand, which was trembling, clutching the falchion. A couple of places on her palm had small rough tears, from which scarlet blood was slowly flowing.
The falchion made by Ryuu was perfect, despite the relatively modest raw materials from which it is made. So he wasn't the problem.
"His armor is pretty solid. Esdes chuckled, trying to hide her annoyance. It seed to her that with this small injury she showed her weakness not only to her brother, but also to the guests.
While Kuro and Aka continued to parody soulless mannequins, Ryuu approached Esdes and, under her surprised gaze, took his sister's hand and began gently massaging the bruised place and at the sa ti bandaging it with a clean piece of cloth
The warmth of her brother's gentle strokes spread through Esdes' body, including her heart.
She watched in fascination as her brother bandaged her such a trifling wound.
Esdes was injured quite often, but usually she managed to process them before eting Ryuu, and therefore such care was new to her.
Done. Ryuu smiled, tying a cute bow on the bandage at the end It will heal quickly, I know you, but it's better not to strain this arm so much, okay?
I'll try. Esdes replied, pulling her hand out of the warm captivity of Ryuu's palms. Then she turned her gaze to Aka and Kuro Brother, it looks like our guests are very hungry... Esdes spoke with a hint in her voice, building an innocent expression on her face
Ryuu chuckled, shaking his head and quietly said "sly fox" under his breath. Okay, I'll cook it today, so be it.
Great. Esdes smiled contentedly
Finally, Aka and Kuro thawed out.
S-thank you for saving us," Aka said, feeling her rapidly beating heart gradually calm down
No problem. Ryuu winked My sister won't give up a little battle before going to bed.
And your food. Esdes added with a grin
And my food... Ryuu sighed and grinned, stomping towards the dead lion You must be hungry, now I'll cook sothing.
Reaching the lion, Ryuu scanned the carcass with the Eyes of the Emperor and the Imperial Zone to determine the juiciest and tastiest piece of flesh. Yeah... he stuck out his tongue and , under the surprised looks of Aka and Kuro , without straining , turned the lion on its side
So strong... Kuro whispered in her sister's ear, snuggling up
- Yes... Aka replied in a whisper Don't be afraid, we are not in danger.
- OK. Kuro nodded
After making several cuts, Ryuu temporarily lagged behind the lion carcass Great, I already have the best pieces. Have a seat, don't be shy.
- thanks. Aka said and sat down with her sister on a stump
Well, let's introduce ourselves. Ryuu said, handing a clean cloth to Akama
- what? Aka asked, not understanding why she needed the fabric
Your friend. pointed his finger at Kuro, Ryuu Her foot is seriously injured. Tie it up.
Exactly! Aka exclaid in alarm and turned around to face the paling Kuroma Now, Kuroma.
So your friend's na is Kuro...
Sister. She's my little sister. under the painful moans of Kuro during the dressing, Aka said My na is Aka.
Very nice. My na is Ryuu, and this is... Ryuu pointed his finger at Esdes, who was looking at him askance My sweet older sister, Esdes.
Aka nodded ekly Thanks again for saving us...
I repeat, you're welco. Better tell how you ended up here. Ryuu asked, sitting down on a stump and starting to prepare the at for cooking
Kuro and I don't know our parents. We lived all our lives in a shelter, which eventually sold us as a commodity to the Empire. My sister and I are not alone here. A lot of children were brought to this forest for so kind of exam, as I understood... What are you doing here? Aka asked with interest and suspicion
We? We're spending the night here. Esdes did not want to spend the night in the city and preferred to do it in the woods. My sister and I have recently started our journey through the Empire. We want to et a lot of dangerous animals to hunt and beco even stronger.
Why? I got into a dialogue with an innocent question of Kuro You are already very strong...
Not at all, we still have a lot to strive for. Ryuu answered with a sweet smile There are still a lot of monsters that we cannot afford and we are not satisfied with it.
And why do you want to beco even stronger? she asked Kurom again, although Aka tried to pinch her sister to hint that she would get behind their rescuers
Esdes decided to answer this question This is our ideology. We strive for strength in order to survive. To decide their fate, and not to entrust it into the hands of the stronger.
It was obvious that Kuro wanted to ask another question, but Aka's pinching beca quite brutal and the girl had to stop.
"Hmm, I'm missing so spices... Ryuu said and looked at Aka Besides, your sister needs dicines. Esdes and I usually use only bandages and antidotes of my preparation, but Kuro is unlikely to be able to survive with only this bandage. getting to his feet, Ryuu stretched Eh, I'm going to go to the city and buy everything I need.
After walking a few ters, Ryuu turned and squinted at Esdes, which with all its nature expressed disinterest in the guests Esdes do not let them offend.
I won't, I won't. Esdes waved her hand You'd better co back quickly.
I'll try. Ryuu grinned and ran into the city
...
anwhile, two gangs were looking for Ryuu and Esdes. They found their people chopped up and all they know is that they were chasing two blue-haired children.
The gangs imdiately rejected the assumption that their comrades had hacked each other in a skirmish. It was clear from the bodies that this was definitely not the case.
A truce was concluded between them, for the sake of revenge.
...
Have you seen two blue-haired children of ten years old here?
No, I haven't.
Are you sure?
Yes, you can hardly lose sight of such people.
...
Two blue-haired children of ten years old. Have you seen it?
Yes, I saw them walking towards the slums.
Fine, keep the gold, but if I find out that you lied, you'll lose your other hand.
I'm not lying, I'm not lying!
Ha, let's see.
...
A large group of bandits broke into the slum, which clearly frightened its inhabitants.
Having gathered a small crowd, they began to interrogate.
There were blue-haired children of ten years old. Where are they? For each false answer, I will break each of you on the finger, please note.
Oh, they were here, sir, they were! But I do not know where they can be! a dirty fortyyear-old woman exclaid. Her face was covered with pustules and growths.
Hmm, break her finger to show the seriousness of our intentions. Will resist, break two.
- No! No, no, no!..* crunch * AAAAAAAAAGHAGHAGHAGH! I don't know! I don't know anything, really!
Perhaps, again, I just wanted to show the seriousness of this interrogation. the leader shrugged his shoulders And so, let's continue ... you. Tell what you know.
They were here, they were! But I really don't know where they went! They just fed us and left!
I see... Break his finger, I don't believe him.
Wait, wait! I know who might know where they are!
Is that so? And who?
Pink-haired brat! Mine, yes, Mine! It was she who gathered us all when they ca to feed us. She knows them! I say for sure, he knows! She's also a slum dweller, she must be here sowhere!
Hmm, not bad... And yet break his finger, I don't like the way he looks at us.
No, no, no!.. * crunch * AAAAAAAAA!
Shut up! You're yelling like a woman! said the bandit who broke his fingers by hitting a peasant in the face and knocking him out
Lighting a cigarette, the leader said So, we are closer to the solution than Sato and his people. If we find out that our comrades died in a skirmish with them, then each of you will take advantage of this truce and stab Sato and his n in the back.
Yes, boss.
Find this girl. Get the information out of it, I allow everything in general.
All right, boss.
...
Let go! Let go! Mayne scread in panic when three big n grabbed her
Kami, look at what a doll! And you can't tell under this dirt and soot that such beauty is hiding inside! the bandit was saying, wiping dirt and ashes from the cheeks of the mine with a rag We will get information out of it, then "try" it, and then we will give it to the Mayor as an apology for the recent noise that we raised.
Great idea, the boss will be thrilled.
Help ! Please help! Mayne scread, trying to escape, but passersby simply shyly averted their eyes and seed not to hear the child's screams
Plug it with a rag, my ears are already tired.
Ha, I like her voice. one of them said, tearing a piece of cloth from his sleeve and plugging her mouth with Mine
So this hut will do, let's borrow it for a while. said the one who carried the Main and entered a random house from the slums
...
So ti later...
Yeah, it's a pity she passed out quickly... I wanted so much to hear her beg not to put my big guy in her...
Idiot, you knocked her out. Why did you put out your eye? Naturally, she passed out from shock! It's strange that she didn't die of shock, you idiot! What the fuck did you put it out for?
Well... I like one-eyed girls... Besides, I've always been interested in one thing...
"Don't tell ... You're a fucking psycho, Rick! Are you really going to put it in there!? Are you even friends with your head!?
Hey! I don't want to hear this from a man who likes his victim to vomit! Better wake her up sohow!
...
Thank you, this is what you need. Ryuu said with a smile, buying a large set of various spices
Walking down the street, he thought "There are so many new things here! My head is just exploding with ideas! These dragon tongues combined with scarlet buds will give an extrely interesting taste!"
Suddenly Ryuu froze, as did his face.
Then Ryuu's face beca blank and emotionless.
His eyes were filled with cold rage and anger.
