《My New Life on the Otherworld》 PROLOGUE "I.... I can''t breathe....." My eyes are getting hazy, I can''t even think of anything anymore. My body full of blood, I can''t feel my legs and hands, and I can''t even speak one single word. My consciousness is fading... I guess im dying. "Where am I?" I woke up into the place that i''ve never been before. It was so warm and has a gentle atmosphere. In front of me was a beautiful woman with pink hair and amber eyes and handsome looking guy that looks like a prince from drama. "Ara... How cute he is, look darling it''s our child!" "It''s...It''s our child!!.. I''m so glad!!..I''m so glad!!.." "Let''s give him a name darling!" "Yes we should! Er... Your name is Lion!"The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. From the situation, it seems like I was a newborn baby and my parents giving me a name. I can''t seem to remember anything before. As I think so, my consciousness is fading again and i fell asleep. In the next day I woke up, it''s the same scenery as yesterday. I''m trying to grasp the situation I was in and as what it looks like I was a baby. I don''t know why, but are all newborn baby think like this as when they were born? A few moments later the bautiful woman came into this room with a smile on her face. "Ara... You''re awake! Are you hungry? Mama brought you some food!" "Uwa....!! Uwa....!! Uwa.....!!" "Yes I''m hungry!" Is what I''m trying to said, but it seems I can''t say anything other than "Uwa!" She pick me up and carry me then feed me with her milk that come out from her breast. It doesn''t have any taste...... I thought woman breast milk would taste delicious but what I taste was plain. After she done feeding me, she put me back into my bed then go out from the room. I see there''s a book near my pillow. I tried to open it and read the book. "Eh? I can read it? Isn''t newborn baby doesn''t have the ability to read it yet?!" Woah, it seems I was a newborn baby with high intellectual!. I was surprised and feel somewhat happy with my talent. Since i''m too happy, I can''t sleep yet and try to learn to walk. First I tried to walk with both my hands and legs, then I tried to stand up using only my 2 legs. But it seems I can''t maintain my balance yet and fall from my bed. The woman that seems to be my mom heard rushed to my room after heard the crashing sound that came from my room and quickly pick me up. I cried because it feels so hurt but my mom keep rubbing my head. It feels so nice and calm... the pain is slowly disappearing and I fell asleep on her embrace. First Day on the Dungeon -16 Years Later- It''s been 16 years since i was reborn to this world. As usual, I still can''t remember everything that was regarding myself. But I have learned how to read,write, and of course every important information that will came handy while im living in this world. Such as : First, in this world theres no discrimination against other races. Demons,Elf,Orc,Ghoul,Dwarf,Beastman,etc. We respect the difference here and all race can live happily without worries about how other races look at them. And I''m human race by the way. Second, as expected of other world there''s alot of adventurers here. Guild work as the center of the town and gave quests for all adventurers that want to do it. There''s alot type of quests can be accepted like cleaning,bodyguard,hunting,service, and else. There''s no level range for each quest given that displayed on Guild so everyone can take the quest based on their strength and experience in exchange that Guild won''t responsible for death,sickness,and every accidents that happened during quest. We can also form party if we want to do some quest but the reward divided equally based on how good we do the quest and number of party member that doing the quest. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. Third, we can also accept quest and receive reward directly from client. But, there''s no guarantee if that client will surely pay you or not. The client that won''t pay the reward won''t get punished by anyone. Because it''s the adventurers own fault for being fooled. It''s no problem if we punish the client by ourselves tho. Fourth, there''s also dungeon in this world that said to have alot of treasures inside it. And of course, for such place that keeps lots of treasures, there''s also alot of monsters reside in it. Each monster slayed inside the dungeon give "?" drop item like in game and we can use the item for various equipment or sell it to Guild to obtain money. Strange thing is the monsters inside dungeon won''t come outside the dungeon even if we lure it out. It seems theres a reason behind that action. I also have learned few magics that useful for combat out there. But since I''m too focused about learning this world system, I have no friends or even comrade. And atlast after 16 years learning the culture of this world, I will start off my first adventure by heading to the dungeon for the first time. Before entering the dungeon, I first checked my equipment if it complete or not. Im just a simple adventurer with no party whatsoever so I will be done quickly if I don''t prepare anything carefully. My equipment is just a basic sword, white cloak, and of course food and drink. "Yep... I''m ready to enter the dungeon. I''ll go in and bring back alot of treasures and items to sell and buy better equipments" After I arrived in front of the dungeon, I saw a pink haired girl from a distance. She looks anxious about something I guess. Based on her appearance, it seems that she is also a human race like me. She only wears denim shortpants and blue long sleeves sweater equipped with long staff and black bunny ribbon on her head. It seems she also beginner that want to enter the dungeon because of her anxious looks. I don''t have the feelings that I should call out to her so I just enter the dungeon leaving her behind. "Woah... The dungeon sure looks amazing!" Inside the dungeon got beautiful scenery of forest with alot of animals in it. Im surprised because I thought dungeon would be a dark and scary place with alot of monsters roaming around but inside this dungeon it was a beautiful forest or I just haven''t see the terror yet. I walked deep inside the dungeon while looking at the scenery. After 1 hour walking, the scenery suddenly changed. It was a humid place, with lots of hot water and mist like in hot spring. Suddenly a monster attacking me from behind. It was a giant monster with alot of legs, and hairy. Luckily I jumped to dodge it before one of it leg can hit me. "Ew.... this monster so disgusting, I don''t even wanna touch it!" Because of the creepy figure of this monster, I don''t even think of wanna touching it. So I will use one of the magic I learned and perfected few years ago ¡ºIce Pike¡» As the name suggest, this magic is summoning ice pike from nowhere. In my case, I summon giant ice pike from ground so it will hit that monster body from below. "Woah... It worked perfectly!" The monster died right after the giant ice pike hit it''s body and dissapear. It drop some "?" item. I wonder what this "?" item is so I''ll keep it with me until I return to guild and appraise it. The Fated Encounter The monster died right after the giant ice pike hit it''s body and dissapear. It drop some "?" item. I wonder what this "?" item is so I''ll keep it with me until I return to guild and appraise it. I was surprised that it was so easy to defeat, because it''s figure was so big. And then someone appeared from my back. It was the girl that I saw on the entrance of the dungeon. "A-amazing!!! You defeated that ¡ºViele¡¡Beine¡» So easily! A-and it was only one shot!!!" Oh so that creepy monster was called ¡ºViele¡¡Beine¡». She said my skill is amazing and approach me. But for me, my skill isn''t that amazing. "H-hey, are you Veteran Class Adventurer? You defeated that monster so easily!!" "N-no, I just started today.. I don''t even know that monster name so I guess you''re more knowledgeable than me. A-and stop clinging on me i-it''s touching me!" Ah.... the sensation of female breast... N-no what am I even thinking! I don''t even know her yet, and yet I already have a lewd thought of her. Am I a pervert?!!! "S-sorry, I''m just so amazed by your skill. Are you really just a beginner adventurer?! Even usually Veteran Class Adventurer need about atleast 3-6 people to take it down you know?!" "W-wait what do you say?! This weak, creepy, and uggly monster is that strong?!"Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. "Well of course!! Don''t play dumb with me I know you just think that if you pass a beginner class adventurer it would be troublesome and you make excuses for that" Well from what she''s saying, I guess I had done an incredible thing just the first day of my adventure. But really I don''t lie, and why she looks like she want to cry when she said that?! Have I done anything wrong?! Eeehhhh??!!! While mourning with myself, the weak, creepy, and ugly monster start reappearing again and the number is around 7-9 now. "Hey, it''s not safe here, let''s go somewhere safer!" "B-but, there is no safe place inside a dungeon!" "Just run! If it had hit you I can''t carry you back to town while protecting you from those monsters inside dungeon you know?!" I take her hand and run while casting AoE flame magic ¡ºIgnis¡» to take the monsters down. Even though it''s AoE the effect range can only hit 5 enemies max. Plus it make me can''t use any magic for 10 minutes. Meanwhile there''s still around 2-4 monsters left. From what she said about the monster history Im not dare to even use my sword on it. While running and holding hands with her, she ask me to left her here because she think that I thought of her as a burden. "Left me here! I''m just a burden for you right? You not even know me so you won''t even feel guilty if you abandon me here" "No way I would left a girl here and run away as fast as I can! You''re not a burden at all! It''s true that I know nothing of you but still... Even though staying together with you would also kill me, I still won''t run and left you alone here!" "T-thank you very much for your concern. B-but I would feel guilty if you also got killed because of my carelessness!" She then let go of my hand and cast an acceleration magic on me. And because of that magic, I suddenly run faster ahead.I was surprised and look back but she already cast an explosion magic and blowup the ceiling above her. "Thanks for being so kind to me, but one day you will think of me as annoying existence. So I would like to end our relationship here while you still caring about me. Goodbye!" "NO WAIT!! OIIII!!!" Before I could go back the rocks that fall from the ceiling already block the way. The girls Past From the girl''s point of view. "I don''t know who you are but please for caring about me even though it''s only for a moment. Eventually, you will hate me and get rid of me like other people did." Long time ago, I had a friend that I go adventure together with. Her name is Remilia. She was strong,beautiful, and can do anything unlike me... weak,clumsy, and can''t seem to do anything right. Even so, she still want to go with me and always comfort me when I feel down. She promise me that she will never leave me, until that one day... We were on the dungeon, fighting crystal golem called ¡ºKaro Vitreus¡». It was so strong we can''t do anything but to pray for help to come. But in the end, help was never come. I desperately pray... I don''t wish for anything else Atleast... Atleast let Remilia escape from here safe and sound! I even dare to sell my soul to demon lord if only she can survive. But... I was too careless... The golem almost smash me with it''s feet. I close my eyes scared... I guess this is the end for me. Ah... I still want to go into an adventure with Remilia again. "Vanecia look out!!!!" Remilia suddenly came and push me out of range of the golem''s feet. In exchange for her body to be crashed along only to safe my life. "N-no... Remilia!!!!!" I scream and cried... When the golem raise it''s feet, Remilia''s body already smashed Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.out of shape. I can''t even see her face, her hands, her legs, and her body anymore. It''s all my fault... It''s all my fault.. Because I was so useless she died... I can''t even do anything to help her... I''m so useless... A few moments later, a bunch of Veteran Class Adventurer came to help. But it was too late, Remilia already died in front of my eyes. I really regret for what happened on that day. "If only... If only I got power to atleast defend myself.." I keep murmuring that, but no matter how much I cried, pray, and scream. She won''t came back to life. Her family and friends blame me for her death. They won''t even let me see her grave and pray for her death. The rumor spread around the town like a wind and because of that no one want to go adventure with me anymore. And because of that, I won''t let that thing happened again! This is my time for me to safe someone''s life and not to be saved anymore. I need to atleast make my life be useful to someone before I died! "Now come at me you creepy monsters! I won''t let you creeps pass here!" the girl''s Point of view ended here. Back to Lion''s point of view. "Oooiii!!!!!" Tch, the boulders of rocks already block the other side... It''s still 3 minutes until my magic can be used again. Damn, I shouldn''t have used ¡ºIgnis¡» back then. If only I used other magic, I wouldn''t have to wait for this stupid cooldown and let her trapped on the other side. "Tch, I aim to be one of the best adventurer but I can''t even save one girl?! Please be safe until the next 3 minutes... I promise I''ll get you back to town alive safe and sound!" But still, I can''t sit calmly and wait. I desperately dig the boulders and try to get into the other side. Atleast until my magic has cooled down then I blast these boulders away and immediately safe her! 3 minutes has passed. I hurriedly cast explosion magic and run to the other side to safe her. The boulders scattered everywhere because of the explosion magic, I hope not a single boulder hit her. But on the other side... One of the ¡ºViele¡¡Beine¡» long and sharp leg has pierce through the fragile body of that girl... Blood spilling everywhere and she''s already in state between life and death. Chapter 4 - Ill Save You "W-what, no way.... No this can''t be... Hey you still alive right?! You can''t die here!! Ooii!! You damn ugly monster... Let her go!!!!!" Well of course she won''t answer me, she''s on that state anyway. I angrily scream and use light magic called ¡ºLuminous Ray¡» to cut the monster''s leg first then cut the body and then I hurriedly catch her body and cast ¡ºIce Pike¡» on the other ¡ºViele¡¡Beine¡»¡£ I immediately treat her wound using healing spell ¡ºHeavenly Heal¡» It''s a high rank healing spell that cost most of the user magic for healing the heavily injured person but if that person is no longer can be saved then this skill is useless. "Please... Don''t die yet! I don''t even know your name and if you die I can''t allow myself to reach my dream to be the one of the best adventurers!" If ¡ºHeavenly Heal¡» doesn''t work then it''s RIP and it''s the thing I never wish to happen to her. Her wound slowly healed... She is really badly injured. If I came even a moment later to safe her I don''t even know if she still can be saved or not. Atlast her wound 100% healed but she still hasn''t regain her consciousness. I got no choice but to carry her back outside dungeon. It''s really dangerous here Who knows what monster will come next if we sit idly here. If it''s only 1-2 monsters at once I still can handle it alone, but if it was 7-9 monsters like back then, then it''s RIP. It''s already outside the dungeon, but she still hasn''t regain consciousness. Does ¡ºHeavenly Heal¡» doesn''t work? I never cast this magic before so I don''t know if this magic really work on her or not. For safe I check her heartbeat. Good it''s beating even only faint sound. Now the real problem is ¡ºHeavenly Heal¡» can perfectly heal every wound but it can''t fix broken outfit Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.nor to clean dirt. Meanwhile her sweater is torned and I can see her whole stomach and bra plus her blood from earlier spilled her sweater and bra completely. Isn''t it bad to leave it like that? I must change her clothes but what should I do?! If i brought her back to town I need to pass the gate security first meanwhile, I don''t know her name or who she is. If I only say "Im trying to save this person" while her outfit is torned, the gate security gonna think I''m a Sadist pervert that went too far to this girL! "Meh...I''ve got no choice! I must do it or she will catch a cold!" I undo her outfit and remove her bra... I can clearly see her nice body and wonderful breast up here. Plus, her cute sleeping face that really luring me in. "S-stop, don''t think lewdly of her! I only gonna change her clothes nothing else!" Luckily, I can still hold my lust. Sadly I''m still a virgin at age 16, so my lust really high right now. If I can''t hold my lust I''ve already rape her while she asleep and say nothing when she awake. Well Im not that bad of a person so I guess I wont....Maybe.... Well whatever. I immediately cover her body with my cloak. Her body is small enough so my cloak can cover her body completely. Now, I just need to find a good place for us to hide. It''s gonna be bad to encounter another adventurer here so I carry her on my back and immediately search for a place to hide. "Oh.. this is a good place to hide." It''s a place thats only grass even though it''s in the middle of the forest. I doubt adventurer will go here because once they done hunting on the dungeon, they will go back to the city at once anyway. Plus the grassy area only as big as my room back on the house so it''s perfect! I then carefully lean her body on the tree near me and tried to make a tent. There''s a weird magic that I learned from my dad. He said if I cast this spell, A tent that big enough for 4 people to sleep in will appear. Well it''s weird so I never really care about it. But I guess I will need it now. Thank you for your weird magic dad. I tried to cast the magic spell ¡ºCreate:Tent¡» It''s one of the creation magic but none of Creation magic i learn from a book can make a tent that''s why it''s weird. Well... book not all knowledgeable anyway. A tent big enough for 4 people to sleep in appeared in front of me. I carried the girl in and lay her body down in comfortable position so her body won''t stiff when she wakes up. "Phew... what a long day. Guess I will sleep too.... Good night!" And so the first day ended with me sleeping with a cute girl that I just met and saved out of nowhere in one tent. Lucky me. Chapter 5 - Ill Save You (Part 2) From the girl''s Point of View. It''s so dark... I almost can''t see anything... What I hear only a voice that calling on me. It was Remilia. Ah... If I see her smile brightly in a bright day like this I must be dead already. If I remember correctly I was stabbed by one of the ¡ºViele¡¡Beine¡» leg. Well of course I won''t survive after stabbed by it''s giant leg Im weak and can''t do anything anyway. I hope that male adventurer made it out alive... I hope he can reach his dream to be one of the best adventurers in the world. I suddenly awake. It was inside a tent that fit for four people to sleep in. It seems that I hasn''t die yet. I can still feel the warm from my body and my surroundings. On the right side of the tent, there''s a male that I was trying to save on the dungeon back then. But I guess I''m the one who''s being saved again.... "Why... I should''ve died back then. Why did you come back and save me?!" Why Im so useless... Im trying to save people but Im the one who''s being saved. He even change my clothes and cover my body with his cloak so I won''t catch a cold. I can''t do anything.... I can accomplish nothing.... I can only trouble people around me.... Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.The despair thought and the agony of being useless and burden to other people around me have broke my mind. I can''t think of anything anymore other than killing myself. I run out of the tent with all my might rushing forward without looking back. I don''t know where I am anymore... Suddenly I bump into another male adventurer. He is a cool looking blonde haired guy. He carrying two-handed longsword and beside him is his companion... cool-looking purple haired guy that carrying long spear on his back. "Hey! Watch out!" "S-sorry!" "What''s going on? Hoho... A cute girl you got over there. Hey Eric don''t keep her for yourself! Share her with me too!" "Yeah she got a nice body also. Hey girl wanna have fun with us? We''ll make sure you feel good!" "S-sorry but I got somewhere to go!" I step back trying to get away from them, but I stumbled on the tree root behind me and fell. The blonde guy then pinned my hand to the tree. Meanwhile, his companion take off my cloak. "Woah dude, this girl is naked! She must be a whore!" "Hahahaha!! We found something good on the way back from dungeon. Let''s have some fun first before going back to town!" I feel scared..I can''t speak... My legs shivering and I can''t move my hands. No matter how much I struggle, their strength overpowered mine. I know Im prepared to die, but why... I feel so scared... I don''t want my precious part to be violated by someone I don''t know. I don''t wanna be their plaything. I don''t wanna die like this! My mind scream for "Help!" But my body won''t move as I want to. What should I do? Please someone help me! Anyone is ok just please... HELP!!! *Swoosh!* "God...As soon as I woke up you already gone. I don''t know where to find you until I saw two adventurer ganging on one girl... Now it''s fine, Im here and I promise that I''ll save you!" The girl''s Point of View ended here. Chapter 6 - My First Friend and Companion "You!!! Who are you there?!" "Eric be careful! He is no ordinary guy" "Now now... ganging on one fragile girl and you still call yourselves adventurer?! Fuck off!" "Who care? We want to have fun with her. Also, she is like premium treasure that we can found nowhere for us" "YOU SCUM!!" I then cast Strengthening magic on my fist. With anger, I punch him as hard as I can. His body then thrown as far as no normal human eyes can see. I even wonder if he still alive after that. One more guy then shiver after he seen his companion suddenly thrown so far with just one punch. "M-monster!!!! AAAAHHH!!!!" I don''t care what happen to them. Even if they report to town and accuse me as a killer I can also proclaim it as a self defense action. I then immediately pick my cloak and cover the girl I save with my cloak. "Thank you...Thank you so much... I don''t know how to express my thanks to you anymore.. You saved my life two times in a row. Sorry for my uselessness, but why? why? You don''t A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.even know me, yet you always came to me everytime I need." "Well... There''s two things that I want from you" "Tell me, tell me what you want from me! I''ll give you anything you want. Money, my body, my life, my everything I''ll give them to you!" "First, I want to know your name. And second is.... Let me stay by your side and be your strength. It''s true that I can just run away and pretend like everything never happened. Not because I believe that best adventurer never abandon anyone or anything but it''s just because I want to save you. Ever since you approach me on the dungeon, I see through your eyes. They are full of colors and wonders but at the same time, it''s also looks so sad. It feels like you have dreams that you want to reachbut something prevent you from doing it. I want to help you... I want to be your strength.. I want to save you from those chains... That''s why even if you like it or not, I promise I''ll always be by your side to help you and save you. So please, let me stay by your side!" "Why...For someone like me why.... Im useless and can''t do anything right. What good can you gain from staying with me?" "Well, it''s true that I might can''t be one of the best adventurer that I always dream of since I was a kid. But thats only one of my many dreams. Now I got one more dream, and that is to save you" Hearing me saying all those things, she cried. I guess she really went through alot before I met her. I caress her and say it''s okay. She then smiled and tell me her name. "Vanecia... Vanecia Kreutzel, that''s my name. And you?" "Lion, Only Lion. Nice to meet you Vanecia" "Yes... Nice to meet you Lion. I''ll be in your care from now on" "Yes, Likewise!" After we exchange each other names, I carry her back to the town. Because she seems like she doesn''t have the strength to walk by herself for now. And I finally made my first friend and companion Vanecia Kreutzel. I hope we get along well from now on. Chapter 7 - Would You Like to Come and Stay With Me? After we reach the town, we parted ways. Vanecia went back to her home. I lend her my cloak. It would be innapropriate to walk around the town topless anyway. She might get ambushed by dirty adventurer again and of course I wouldn''t want that. But my worry get better of me so I followed her. If it''s to protect her, being called stalker is a small price to pay. Im getting curious where she is going. She said she will go home to get a change of clothes but this way is to ruins outside the town! After a few minutes later, we arrived at the ruins. I followed her inside. She pull out a black tank top and white blazer from under the haystack inside the ruins. She then undo her cloak. (Woah nice view I got from here) That''s the first thing that came into my mind. But I feel guilty looking at her body while she is changing her clothes without even know that Im here so I step back and look to the other side. But I got careless and kicked a small rock. Because of the noise, she noticed me. Ah... this is the end.. Im dead, she gonna call me stalker, she gonna hate me and Im gonna labeled as a pervert. "L-Lion? Why are you here?" She covered her body with her clothes after seeing me. Meanwhile I face the other side and feels really awkward about this situation. "Er..Ah...Um... I''m worried about you so I followed you here. You said you want to go home but why are you here?" "This is my home." "Eh Whuat? You not lose your memory because of that wound right?!"Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. "H-Hey thats rude! T-this is really my home! You see Im taking out my clothes from here right? A-A-And you want to peek on me!" She quickly put on her clothes while Im not looking. "SORRY SORRY SORRY!!! Forgive me I won''t do it again!" She suddenly depressed. Her eyes looks like she want to cry at any moment now. "Im poor. I don''t have enough money to rent an inn in town so I came to this ruins. People rarely come to this ruins so I make this ruins as place for me to stay." Geh.... I feel sorry for her. If I lend her money for her to stay at inn she would reject it of course she''s not the person that use her situation for her own benefit anyway. I guess I''ll invite her to my place. "Hey, would you like to stay with me? Ever since I came to this town, I live alone separated from my parents. It''s just a normal house that''s not too big and not too small but it''s better than you staying here. You also don''t need to worry about food. I can provide enough for both of us. And also don''t even think of pay me back for what I have done to you. I do this because I want it so you don''t need to worry about it" "But wouldn''t it be burden for you? It''s okay I never have problem living here except when it rains I must go to the forest nearby to take cover. And I can buy 3 piece of bread per day so I don''t really have problem with food" Uwah... 3 piece of bread per day? I wonder how she can even survive all this year not to wonder where she get that nutritions on her breast. "It''s okay, you wouldn''t be a burden. I always feel lonely when I wake up in the morning. So if you come it would be great. And also I''ve promised you right? That I''ll always stay by your side to help you" Tears start pouring from her eyes, she looks so happy with what I''ve said. She then agree to stay with me. She doesn''t have any luggage. Her clothes only that blazer she wear and blue sweater that''s already ripped on dungeon. So before I take her to my place, I''ll buy her few clothes first. It would be painful to watch a cute girl like her suffer anymore than this. Female clothes are expensive but if that would make her happy, then it''s a small price to pay. Chapter 8 - Shopping We start walking around town together to search for a clothes that suit her. But she still look gloomy. Maybe she still think that she''s a burden to me. Well, it''s good that she''s not too carried away with this but she think of it too much. But I got no right to say it to her right now. She would just forced to do as what I said and conceal her true feelings. And of course that''s not what I want. I''ll find the right time and say it to her. We arrived at clothing store. We get in and take our time deciding what outfit that would look good on Vanecia. "Hey Vanecia, would you like to buy this sweater? Yours ripped back at the dungeon right? It has the same colour as the one you wore back then. I''ll give this to you as present if you like it" "S-Sure, thank you so much Lion!" She looks so happy I guess she really likes this sweater. She must feel really down when her sweater ripped back then. She immediately go to the changing room and try the sweater already. "L-Lion do I look good in it?" "Yes, you look really good in it!" If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.Yep it''s really suit her well. Perfect for her appearance. She embarrassedly look down as if she feels really happy but don''t want to show it. "Would you like to buy another outfit? You can buy as much as you like." "N-No thanks! I can''t trouble you with this any longer. Plus I don''t deserve it...." "Nah don''t be, It''s okay. You need to care more about your appearance you are a girl after all" "I-If you say so" It''s good that she easily go with the flow. If not it''s gonna be so hard to even buy her a clothes. She buyed a few pair of clothes. She looks so happy as we walked out from the store. Next is the lingerie shop. For this one, I gave her money for her to buy her own underwear. It would be inappropriate for me to get in there anyway. Im not her boyfriend nor her father. Well I don''t think a father will go to lingerie shop with his daughter anyway. She embarrassedly nodded and went to the lingerie shop. While waiting for her, I go check the accessories shop. I want to buy her another bunny ribbon. I lost her ribbon when saving her. I''m too desperate to save her that''s why I don''t care about her ribbon. She looks so cute wearing that ribbon that''s why I want to buy it for her. After buying the ribbon, I go back to the last place we parted. "Done buying your underwear?" "Y-Yes and p-please don''t say it out loud it''s embarrassing!" "Sorry sorry hehee.... And this is for you. You lost yours back then right?" "Oh thank you Lion! I really liked to wear bunny ribbon ever since I was a little child so I feel really empty without it" "Good to hear then. You also looks pretty cute wearing it. It warms my heart" "T-Thank you....." I guess what I said really give an impact to her heart. She speechlessly embarrassed and didn''t say another word. But really she looks cute. It really looks like I treat her as my fashion doll but atleast she looks happy with it. Then I walked her to my place. She really looks forward for her new home. I can''t disappoint her. Chapter 9 - New Home Then I walked her to my place. She really looks forward for her new home. I can''t disappoint her. "Let me help you carry your thing" "Yes. Thank you!" After we walked a few while, I feel like we''ve been followed. I pretend that I didn''t notice that we''ve been followed But after a few while one of them jumped into front of us. That person wear a brown cloak and hid her/his face. Judged from his/her voice that person was a female. "Hee`~ So that girl have a companion now. What a shame" "what do you want from her?!" "Woo, scary scary. We want to make a deal with you" "A deal you said?" "Why don''t you sell that good for nothing girl to us? We want to buy her as a slave. She might be good for nothing but she have a nice body and cute face right? We will also pay you a high price if you want to sell her to us." Vanecia looks scared. She might think that she gonna be abandoned again but I won''t let that thing happened to her. Even if they pay me billions of golds I still won''t sell her as a slave. Not as long as I live. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it."Sorry but I won''t ever sell her. She is not a tool and not good for nothing. I promised that I will protect her So I won''t let you guys do as you please to her!" "Hahaha, negotiation failed then. But we won''t give up now we''ll take her by force if we must. She is a good material after all. Bye then`~" "Try it!" They fled. They said they won''t give up yet so we must be careful from now on. But I don''t know when they will appear again. They might also appear when we fell asleep. I hope from the bottom of my heart so that won''t happen. "Don''t worry Vanecia. I''ll protect you. I won''t let you be a slave.. Not after I promised that I will protect you and make you happy!" "Thank you, I''m so happy!" And so, we continued to walk to my place. "Here we arrived! It''s not too grand but atleast you can stay here" "Can I really stay here?! I''m not a burden right?" "Nah, how so that you are a burden? With this I can be by your side even more and you can have a normal live now" "Am...Am I really deserve this?" "Yes, You deserve it" "Thank you.. Thank you so much Lion!" She started crying. I guess she just too happy to express her feelings. She been through alot this is the least I can provide for her. Clothes,Food, a place to live and even entertainment. I''ll provide that to her as much as I can. And so, we went in to my house. I show her around the house and her room. "Here is your room, you can use this room as much as you like. I won''t barge in without knocking don''t worry" "Okay, Thanks" "Is there anything more you need to know?" "N-no thanks, Thanks for showing me around Lion" "Okay then, have a good night" "Good night!" After that, I left her on her room and went to my own room. I still can''t stay calm after those cloaked guys came after her. They said they will come again later so I can''t let my guard down. I can''t always watch over her that''s why Im worried. If those guys came to her while I was away then that''s RIP... 100% RIP... "Ah...!!! I can''t sleep" I came out from my room and check on Vanecia. She''s asleep, her sleeping face looks so cute. Wait didn''t I said I won''t barge in to her room without knocking? Glad that she''s asleep I''ll get trouble if she''s awake. I immediately close the door and go back to my room. Looking at her cute sleeping face also make me feel sleepy. I guess now I can sleep for the night thanks to her. Chapter 10 - Vanecia is in Pinch! From -???- Point of View "Fufufu.... "I''ll protect her"? You''re too light-minded adventurer" -???- Point of View end here. I wake up in the morning feel the morning breeze and hear the birds whistle. The atmosphere was so calming make me want to keep sleeping. But there''s one problem. I don''t know why but once I woke up I can''t sleep anymore. Such convenience but also troublesome nature. I come out from my room and go wash my face. It seems Vanecia hasn''t awake yet, I''ll wake her later. After done washing my face I go to Vanecia''s room. "Vanecia, it''s morning!" No answer. Well I guess she''s just tired so I let her sleep a little bit more. In the meantime I''ll go to the kitchen and cook something. "Hm...Let''s see what should I cook today" There''s bacon, eggs and some vegetables left on the kitchen. Meh, it''s too normal. I regret I didn''t learn how to cook any gorgeous morning breakfast from my mom''s book. I miss my mom''s morning breakfast. Well, it''s better than eat nothing let''s start cook then! ¡ºNormal Egg & Bacon with salad is done¡» Ok, it''s time to wake Vanecia for real "Vanecia, wake up! Breakfast is ready!" She still doesnt answer. I got worried and get into her room but if I barge in again and she''s awake..... Now is not the time for that. "Coming in`~" Eh? She''s gone. What? Where did she go? I searched around the house and can''t found her anywhere. No way... Could it be them again? Did they kidnap her when she''s asleep? Damn it, I let my guard down too much! No no no no it''s too fast to come into conclusion. She might be wandering around the town... Or no, She''s not that type of person. Well what could I know I only met her just recently. I then take my equipment and go search around the town.Stolen story; please report. I searched and asked everywhere from day to night, I even went to nearby forest to search for her everywhere. She''s not even at the ruins. Did she really get kidnapped? If so where should I go? Damn it, I couldn''t think of any place that they could''ve kept her. Is there any tracking magic that I could use?! After thinking of that, I rushed to the town''s library to search for a book that have tracking magic on it. ¡ºClosed¡» "......." It''s closed..... Now what? Suddenly there''s a man that holding a big book walk pass me asking me if im troubled. His looks like a librarian. "Hey young man, you look troubled. May I help you?" "Sorry, I need to know if there''s any way I can get in the library now" "That''s impossible" As expected, the town''s library 100% guarded by super strong magic that no one can dispel. Well no one "YET". "Well if you need to know anything about magic I guess I could help you. Im quite confident with my knowledge of magic except if you want to dispel the magic that guard this library I can''t help you hahaha!" "Is there anything called Tracking Magic or something like that? I really need it right now!" "There is, but for what? Stalking people? Hahaha... Stalking people is a crime you know" "Im serious here! Please stop joking around!" "Woah woah calm down man, I''ll tell you so calm down ok?" "Alright... Thanks for understanding" "There is tracking magic called ¡ºTrace¡» as the name said, It''s gonna track your target anywhere they go. But it''s illegal to use it right now." "What, why?!" "Well as I said it''s gonna track your target anywhere they go. It''s so simple yet so frightening. You just need to think deeply of your target and say ¡ºTrace¡¡On£¡¡» then the skill will activated. The condition is just you need to know of your target full name and face" "As easy as that?!" "That''s why it''s illegal. Lot''s of stalker used that magic got into jail caught peeping on woman while she taking a bath and do lot more innapropriate things. Well if you wanna peep on them I won''t hold you down, you also a man after all I know the feels`~. But if you got caught I won''t help you so good luck on that!" "Thanks for the info, let me try to use it now" "Woah woah gonna use it already? So bold... Do you wanna peep on naked woman that badly?" I think deeply of Vanecia.... I say her full name and think of her face as detailed as I can. "¡ºTrace¡¡On!¡» Suddenly there''s a line made of light guiding my vision to Vanecia. She''s inside abandoned building near the neighboring country hanged, handcuffed, and stripped naked. There''s alot of masculine guys nearby that looks like trying to rape her. She is crying, asking for help but the guys that surround her just laugh happily attracted by her crying pitiful face. "Damn it! Sorry I must go immediately. I really appreciate the help" "Be careful and don''t get caught okay?!" I immediately rush to the position the light guide me. If I just run from here, the distance is too far. They must''ve raped her already. Is there anything I could do to go there faster? Damn it damn it damn it damn it!!!! I''ll kill them.. I''ll fucking kill them!!!!! Chapter 11 - Im Really not one of them! D: From Vanecia''s Point of View. From the time I awake, I already in the place that I don''t know. It was a dark and cold room unlike Lion''s place. I was hanged,handcuffed and stripped naked "Eh... Where am I? Lion... Where are you?" My body feels so heavy, I can''t even move a finger it''s like I''ve been drugged. Suddenly there''s a voice echoing from outside the room "Oh.. You awake?" "W-Who are you? Where am I? Where is Lion?!" "Fufufu... Calm now little girl. That adventure who was with you will never come. He slept so soundly unnoticing that we came to get you and brought you here after all he said that he''ll protect you. Ah... So sad`~" I tried to use my magic but it won''t do. "It''s useless girl`~ That room has a barrier that dispell any magic. No matter how many times you struggle your magic won''t pop out. Well have a nice time until there''s someone who came and bought you there. Ah`~ For your info, we''re selling you as a sex slave. Be sure to do your job properly fufu`~" "Eh... Sex slave?! W-what?! I don''t want to! W-wait release me!" "Bai bai`~" She went. I-I must get out from here somehow but my magic... I can''t even move a finger. Why...Why I''m so useless? I can''t even do any magic other than light magic. Suddenly, 3 masculine guys enter this room and light the room up. "Hey girl, before you got selled why don''t you have fun with us first?" "Woah, this girl got a really nice body!" "Woo, nice finding!" I''m scared, I can''t do anything in this situation. I''m gonna get raped. No, atleast Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.I want to give my virginity to the one I love... Not them! Lion.... Please hurry and come save me! If not... If not... These people will.... "Fuu`~ What a nice face she make. She must be really scared!" "Man, I love this girl. I want to buy her but she''s so expensive! What a shame" "Hey hey, lets release her chain first and have foursome with her" "Good idea!" "Yeah, do it!" They released my chain and hold onto my body. They already in position to rape me. My first time..... Papa.... Mama.... I''m sorry for being such useless girl... Im gonna be a sex slave from now on. Please forgive me. Suddenly the cloaked woman from last time shout and give a warning. "Boys`~ You can rape her as much as you want but don''t ruin her face and body okay`~? Ah`~ Also don''t release her chain. If you do, she would be able to use her magic again`~!" 3 of them "Eh.....??!!" I suddenly light a blinding light magic and blind them all. I run outside the room and bump into that cloaked woman. She''s surprised and fell to the ground. Use that chance, I also blind the woman and take her cloak. After that I continue run through the hallway. "You useless boys!!! After her!!" "I can''t see I can''t go after her!" "Sorry boss!" "AAAAAHHHH!!! MY EYES!!!!!!" "Urgh....!!!" I keep on running and running without looking back. Nobody followed me here I guess Im safe for now. I looked around searching for exit and then I bumped into a girl. "Onee-chan.. Do you have some food? Im hungry!" She looks so fragile and weak. I guess she''s also another slave that been kept here. "Hey Mimi don''t get close to her!" Suddenly one more girl came. She warn her not to get close to me, is it because of the cloak? "I''m really sorry for her, I will keep an eye on her so she won''t bump into you again! Now Mimi let''s go!" "Ah....." "W-Wait! I-Im not one of them!" "Y-You can''t deceive us! I won''t let you take Mimi away from me!" "I-It''s true! And I won''t take her away from you!" "Mimi run!!" "O-okay!" "You won''t pass here!" "Eh....? B-but I''m really not one of them!" Her legs shivering, she is so scared of me. I want to take off the cloak hoping she would believe me but I can''t. I-If I take it off I-I-I will be naked! And then, the little girl cried. "P-Please don''t take Mimi away from me! I-I''ll do anything for you so please!" *smile* "Then I got one favor for you" "S-Say it! I''ll do it even if you told me to kill myself!" "Eh...? No no I won''t ask something like that! I want you to believe me that I''m not one of them!" "T-Then prove it!" "Then, have you ever seen my face here?" "All of them hid their face so of course I never even seen one of them, baka!" "Au.... It''s true.... B-But I''m really not one of them I swear!" *laugh* "Fufufu.... I believe in you Onee-chan! You''re funny and they are scary so I''m sure you''re not one of them!" "Yay! Thank you for believing in me Teehee`~" "Mimi`~! You can come out now, this Onee-chan is really not one of them!" "Alright" Chapter 12 - A Trouble in Food Storage Still on Vanecia''s Point of View`~ "Nee`~ Onee-chan, what''s your name?" "I''m Vanecia, and you?" "I''m Ichigo, bunny race. Nice to meet you Onee-chan! And this is Mimi, she''s from cat race" "Nice to meet you I''m Mimi and I''m hungry... Do you have some food?" "Hey Mimi don''t be rude!" "Sorry, I don''t have any food with me" "Au......" "W-Well is there any food storage around here? If so maybe I can help" "Yes! And we on the way to the food storage to steal some food but......" "But....?" "There''s alot of guard there... Lot''s of us went there and some of them not return. If we lucky the guard might be sleeping and we can sneak in easily without making any noise!" "There''s more of you here?" "Well of course! It''s slavery shop. Onee-chan are you baka or something?" "Eh...?! W-Well Im just here recently so of course I don''t know anything yet" "Oh ya I forgot, sorry!" "Ahahaha..... A-Anyway if there''s food storage around here, maybe I can help.... Maybe....."Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. "Yay! Onee-chan will come with us! Mimi it''s great news!" "But isn''t she said only maybe?" "Aaaa.... Nevermind that I''ll help. Yes I''ll help!" I can''t say to them that I''m really clumsy at things like this... But I can''t back down now. At the very least until I get enough food for all of them. "W-Well let''s go then?" "Alright!" "Alright!" On the way to the food storage, Ichigo explain the texture of this location. It''s like she''s been kept here for long enough already. She said that she was born here and her parents were also a slave. Her father died of fatigue and her mother sold as sex slave. I feel so sorry for her, but she just smiling wryly and said "It''s okay, it''s all happened when I was a baby so I don''t feel sad or anything!" I want to help her but Im not like Lion that can do anything. Im only a useless girl that can''t even save her single friend. As for Mimi, she was kidnapped here just a few days ago while she was playing with her friends on street.She''s also so scared when she arrived here, but Ichigo comfort her... told her not to cry and play with her. She''s been with Ichigo all the time here. They''ve been a really good friends through the hard times together. Such beautiful friendship. While we talk, we already arrived in front of the food storage. "Mimi and Ichigo wait here okay? How many people is there again?" "Um... 10 people including us. All of them are kids around our age though" "All right, Onee-chan will get enough food for 10 people to eat. Just wait here, I''ll come back with hands full of food!" "Onee-chan won''t eat?" "Don''t worry Im not hungry!" To tell the truth, I haven''t eat anything since last night but Im used to live like this. Their food is top priority for now, mine can wait until later. Now it''s time to charge in, I won''t make them wait any longer! "Good luck Onee-chan!" "Good luck!" "Thanks!" I charged into the food storage. There''s one guard on duty on the right side of the entrance but luckily, the guard is asleep. I quietly pass through the guard... Carefully so I won''t mess up this time.... After I passed him, I immediately searched for food. Well I did said I''ll search for food but there''s bread everywhere. I carry enough bread for 10 people to eat then I head back to where Mimi and Ichigo are. *stumble* "Who''s there?!" Ah... I messed up, I stumbled into a rock and tripped into the ground. The breads thrown into outside the entrance. "Onee-chan!" "Onee-chan!" They come and help me but it''s too late. The guard already awake and we''re in pinch here. Before the guard call for reinforcement, I cast a light magic and try to blind the guard. "Mimi, Ichigo close your eyes!" "Now girl, it won''t work anymore!" Look closely it''s the same person as the one that tried to abuse me on the chamber where I woke up. "Ichigo,Mimi Run!" I told them to run but the guard immediately block the entrance. His body is so big, it''s like he''s the door of the entrance itself. "You three won''t get pass me here. Just be obedient and surrender your lives to me already!" The girls get scared and embrace me tightly. I''m also scared, but as the older one here I got the duty to protect them. "I-I won''t give up and I won''t lend them to you!" "Shut up bitch!" I close my eyes scared and hold the children tightly. They cried out of fear but the guard doesn''t care. He looks so irritated. "This is the last warning for you, don''t waste your life and do what I say!" "N-No! I-I''ll protect them!" "Tch.. Don''t regret this!" He then kick Mimi and Ichigo away from me and strangle my neck. His grip is so strong I''m starting to lose my consciousness. I tried to cast my magic but I don''t have enough energy to cast it. My body feels so weak and I can''t think of anything. "Lion.....Save us!" Vanecia''s Point of View end here. Chapter 13 - Escape! Back to Lion''s Point of View. ¡º30 minutes earlier¡» I keep running and running without rest and go as fast as I can to save Vanecia. I can''t rest right here, not before I save her. Suddenly, the ¡ºTrace¡» magic effect start waning. The light is slowly dissipating. I guess I know the cause, it''s because I feel so tired and of course it affect my magic power also. I remember the location of the building that kept Vanecia inside so even if the ¡ºTrace¡» magic dissipated now, I still can go to the marked location and save her. The problem is, I don''t know if something happened around there and she''s moved somewhere else. I can''t tell her exact location nor situation without the ¡ºTrace¡» magic so it would be troublesome. Ah well... After I reach the destination, I''ll just need to be careful not to get caught by the guards. The problem is wether or not I can be caught but they could just call their reinforcement to arrest me and of course fighting many of them with this tired condition and no magic would be sooooo troublesome *meh*. After a long long long and long marathon run to the neighboring town, atlast I''ve arrived to the marked location by ¡ºTrace¡» It was a big abandoned building.... Eh wait, look closely it''s like a fortress. Well whatever it is, I must go save her immediately. Since I don''t know where she is nor the safe way to get in, I go to the backside of the abandoned.... fortress or whatever it''s called and make a hole using my light magic. I focus my magic into a sharp light of blade and cut the wall slowly. ¡ºNow back to the present time¡» "Lion....Save us!" It was faint but, it''s Vanecia''s voice. She''s calling for help! I don''t care about cutting the wall slowly anymore so I just crash the wall in. Inside the wall, Vanecia is being strangled by one of the guard there. And on the corner of the... I guess this is food storage... There''s two kids lying around looks in pain. The guard looks surprised as I just get inside by crashing the wall. Using the chance, I immediately cut the guard''s hand with my sword and catch Vanecia from falling. She passed out, I cannot forgive him for doing this to her but I can''t let my anger get the better of me. This is not the time for that, I must get out from here first and find a place to hide. But how could I carry these two kids? I''m not strong enough to carry all three of them altogether.The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. Oh, one of them still conscious. It was the rabbit girl. "O-Onii-chan... Please help us run from here, I...I can help carry Mimi out from here" I suppose Mimi is the catgirl. "Alright, sorry I''m not strong enough to carry all of you" "It''s fine, Ichigo is strong after all!" And then I suppose that Ichigo is her name. We then immediately escape from the fortress, but before that. I make the guard unconscious first. It would be problem if he tell the others and chase after us before we can hide. After we escaped from the fortress, we run to the nearby forest to hide. But I don''t think the bad guys are that stupid not to notice their prisoners....slaves.... or hostage? Well I go with slave for now since the woman on cloak from yesterday said want to sell Vanecia as slave. Yeap, I don''t think the bad guys are that stupid to not notice their slaves gone. And the guard should regain consciousness anytime by now. I want to leave them here and go fight all those bad guys by myself but what if they came here and attack the girls while I''m inside? Thinking so, I decided to continue running away deeper into the forest. "Let''s rest here for awhile!" There''s a river nearby, I decided we sould rest awhile here. I keep on guard to detect if there''s any enemy nearby. Looks like we safe for now. I then drink the water from the river, it was so cold and refreshing. A few moment later, Vanecia woke up. I immediately went to her position asking if she was okay and asking if there''s anything traumatic happened to her. "Vanecia, are you okay? Does anything traumatic happened to you? I know there''s alot of bad thing happened to you since you were kidnapped but I hope it left no scars in your heart. And sorry for asking it so immediately after you just woke up, Im really worried about you!" I then embrace her, I was so worried. I feel like my heart is going to burst out once I see her gone. She then embrace me back saying "It''s okay. Im fine! Nothing really bad happened to me!" It''s good... Im glad... If there was I don''t think I could hold my emotion back and just massarce those bad guys after I heard it from her. "Alright Vanecia, I know it''s sudden but could you keep watching these two girls? I got business to take care of with those guys who kidnap you all" "Ichigo,Mimi! Thank god you both were okay..." "Onee-chan! Glad you were okay! B-But Mimi has passed out.." "Don''t worry! I''ll keep both of you safe until Lion return!" "Aye! We trust in Onee-chan!" "A-Alright, but Lion be careful okay? We''ll be waiting here! And I got a favor to ask you but...." "What is it? Tell me what you wanted to ask!" "I know it''s troublesome but.. C-Can you also free all of the other slaves inside? I-I know it might be hard even for you.....But I just can''t stand it seeing them suffering there." "Don''t worry I''ll save them all! It''s no trouble at all! Just wait me here and I''ll be back with those guys safely!" "Be careful Onii-chan!" "Aye!" I then run back to the fortress to save all the captured slaves and punish all those bad guys. I won''t kill them....maybe. I''ll just punish them so bad and let the Imperial Guards take care of the rest. Chapter 14 - Assault! *BOOM!!!!!* I invaded the fortress and have defeated more than 40 guards but there''s still lot more of them. They keep coming one after another..... Is there no end of them??!! How many more remaining??!! My power drained from time to time, if this keep up I won''t be able to free the slaves nor to get out from here alive!! "Ah...!!!" Where are those slaves??!! I searched everywhere inside the fortress but still can''t find any of them only guards that keep coming from every direction I go. ¡ºTrace¡» also useless for this because I don''t know any faces of the slaves. Well, I''ll capture one of the guard and ask them where they keep the slaves. "Oi you! If you want me to spare your pitiful life tell me where are you guys kept those slaves!" I did ask him... But he just bit his own tongue and die pitifully. *Meh* I also asked the other guards but their action are the same... What the hell?! Are they crazy?! Are those slaves that important to them?! Nevermind all those craziness, I keep running everywhere to search for the slaves and the result is still the same... I found none of them. Wait a minute.... Is this fortress got a basement or underground room? As I think of that, I blew the floor below me and fall to the underground. And.....bingo! Lots of slaves are kept in here. They all look surprised as they see the ceiling above them exploded and see me fall from above. Lucky no one get hurt from the fall of the ceiling. Next time I must think twice before I want to explode the floor I guess. "Everyone, Listen up! My name is Lion and Im trying to safe you all from here. I already defeat all the guards The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.(that I saw) on the way here so rest assured as I will protect all of you until all of us get out from here safely" All of the slaves listen to my words calmly and start to gather around me. I think they trusted me to get them out of here safely. Now the problem is, how the hell to get back up there? Is there any..... Oh there''s a door there. I ask which way that door lead us to and one of the slave answer that door is the way to get to the upper floor. Bingo! Now charge!!!! We went to the upper floor and I led them to the exit. We all escaped from the fortress safely and what awaiting for us outside are army of Imperial Guards from neighboring town. I guess I make too much noise from the explosion magic and they got awarned by it. My mistakes..... I explained the situation to the Imperial Guards calmly and they said they will take care of things from now on. The slaves and all of the Imperial Guards say "thanks!" and wave their hands to me on their way back to the town. I feel relieved now.... I''m so tired..... I run around the town all day to search for Vanecia then I run from my town to the neighboring town then save all the slaves from slavery... What a rough day..... Feel relieved, I went back inside the forest to reunite with Vanecia and the others. When I arrived, Vanecia and the others rush to me and feel relieved that I came back safely I also tell them that I succeeded on my mission to save all those slaves. Now, we need to decide what to do with Ichigo and Mimi. I hear explanation from Vanecia that Ichigo''s parents died long ago meanwhile, Mimi''s parents still alive but she doesn''t know where did she came from nor the name of the place she lives. "Lion... Why don''t we take them to the nearby town for awhile and look for place for them to live?" "Hm.... Good idea. Okay Mimi, Ichigo would you like to come with us for awhile? We might also find you a place to live while we on it!" As much as I wanted it, I can''t take them home with me. Mimi got her parents waiting for her and as for Ichigo, she already like a big sister to Mimi from the story I heard from Vanecia. If we found Mimi''s parents, I''ll negotiate with them if they can take Ichigo with them or not. They both nodded and decided to come with us. "Well, let''s go then!" "Aye!" "Okay!" "Roger!" Yes it''s a rough day. But as long as I can protect their smiles, I don''t mind went through hard times everyday.
