– Slave Beastkid’s POV-
I’ve always been told by scary an adult.
That I should be useful for the kingdom and thank the king for keeping alive.
That is the rcy of the king.
I don’t understand what they are trying to say.

Thanks?
I kept on being beaten and kicked for so reason, it hurts but I can’t speak.
Even if I try to, nothing cos out of my mouth.
He said that my expression is disgusting and won’t change no matter how much I get hit.
So, he hit again. What expression?
My body made a lot of noise but he said I was a beast so my body should be strong.
He stepped on and it’s very painful.
I couldn’t make a sound even though the pain was already rushing through my entire body.
I have to keep my body small and endure it.
I wonder what I should be thankful for?

I began to understand my surroundings a little better.
I am a slave and the children around are slaves too.
My voice and expression are blocked because they were not necessary for a slave.
However, I noticed that we can still express our feelings with our eyes.
I was kind of happy about that.
But the number of children with expressive eyes beca fewer and fewer. They are slowly disappearing.
That made sad.

People called nobles ca from ti to ti.
When they ca, slaves were dragged out of the room.
They won’t hit.
They don’t kick but they use those shiny silver things to kill a slave.
They said they have to try it out.
Slaves that were killed by the nobles were returned to the room for so reason.
From what I heard, it’s because it’s not cleaning day yet.

Little by little, I began to lose track of myself.
However, for so reason, the number of tis I’m being beaten has decreased.
I saw the bastard beating us with a frightened face.
I also heard sounds falling from the sky as well as light running through the sky.

I was startled when the sound fell from the sky.
However, I was more surprised when I heard a voice.
It was my own scream.
For the first ti in my life, I heard my voice and when I checked around, I saw that the others were the sa.
Sohow, only us kids are like that.
I wondered what was going on.
I’m scared because I don’t know.

Soone who didn’t have a scary face ca.
That person looked around us and left.
The next day, two adult slaves ca.
The adults were able to talk and taught us a lot of things.
They told us about the country, the forest, monsters, demon beasts, and slaves.
I find it hard to rember them all since it was the first ti soone was actually teaching us sothing. They told us to learn as much as we could, which I did.
As we were working hard, the person who didn’t have a scary face that ca before ca again.
This ti, he ca right up to us and told us to escape when an opportunity arose.
He imdiately left the room without giving us the chance to react.
I wonder if sothing’s going to happen. I’m scared.

Suddenly, we were taken out of the room and put into a small cage that started moving.
I was separated from the children who were with .
I was scared, so scared of what was going to happen.
I shivered and made myself small.
Soone grabbed my hand.
In front of is a girl I’ve never seen before.
However, I could see in her eyes that she has feelings.
She’s telling to never speak and never show emotion.
She continued to hold my hand like that.

The cage opened and I was suddenly pulled out.
I was so surprised that I almost shouted but I managed to hold on.
I can’t let them find out!

Starting from that point, I experienced more hell than ever.
My whole body was screaming.
There were several horrible monsters in front of .
They were slashing their claws at who was rolling around just to be able to escape from them.
When the monsters were about to sink their fangs into , the people watching from afar killed them.
The sa thing happened over and over again.

My consciousness suddenly becos distant.
I don’t know why my body is shaking so much but that’s what’s happening.
When I looked around, I saw the girl who held my hand.
Is she the next one?
Run away….

I felt like I saw so kind of light.
I don’t know what it was.
However, I felt like my body was wrapped by sothing warm.
It feels good.
My back also felt warm.
There is a large drawing on my back and it hurts.
Adults say it’s a slave crest.
The pain is coming from that.

She held her hand out to . I squeezed it and stood up.
What should we do now?
「Let’s escape.」
Is this the opportunity he was talking about?
He told to escape if I could.

I went to the cage if there were other children who could escape.
The cage is open.
I called out to them but no one was reacting.
There was another cage and no child reacted either.
The adults said they were alive but their hearts were dead.
I’m sad for them.

We got food and water from the luggage around and ran to the depths of the forest to escape.
When the scary adults wake up, they will surely kill us.
