Alesse'S Connect: The Alchemist
The forgotten village
Alesse continued to walk among those people, whereas they stared at him full of astonishment.
"Hmm, it seems like it only contains women and children, very few adult men are here!" Alesse concluded.
A child who looked the same age as him was having trouble cutting firewood. After cutting a few blocks of wood, he started dragging it with fatigue. Alesse approached her.
"Why are you dragging the woods all by yourself? Isn't this an adult's job?" ask Alesse.
The boy did not answer, he continued to drag the wood until he tripped on a stone.
"Where's your dad? If you keep dragging the wood, it might be midnight at your house" said Alesse.
"My father is dead, I have to work so my mother and sister can eat" the boy said. Alesse felt sorry to see him continue to work hard like that.
Even though he was only watching the child, in fact, there were still some children whose age also did the same thing.
"Have all of your fathers died? Wh why? Because of the war? Shouldn't your lives be guaranteed by the kingdom?" ask Alesse astonishment.
"No, I killed my own father" the boy said with a cold expression. "Eh? You killed him?" ask Alesse astonishment.
"It wasn't my fault! It was his fault for being too weak! This is all because of him being unable to face me while experiencing the Cursed Condition!" said the child, his eyes immediately glazed as if he did not accept the heavy life he experienced.
"So, some children in this village also experienced something similar?" ask Alesse.
"Truely, everyone here must face his son who is experiencing the Cursed Condition, if he is not able, then he will be killed by the child," he said.
Alesse began to think for a moment, he tried to manipulate the weight of the wood with electromagnetic principles. Instantly the wood became lighter to carry. He also did the same for other children who were dragging wood into their homes.
While walking around, he finally found a house that looked rowdy. The back wall of the house was hollow because a small child with a terrible aura destroyed it.
The villagers watched it from a distance while on the other hand a man looked sweaty and frightened to face the monstrous figure, he had actually experienced a deadlock in his life.
"Isn't he in trouble? Why are you just watching from here?" ask Alesse astonishment.
"It is a risk for those who have a family, a man must face the child he brought into this world. If he is unable to do so, he must die for the sake of his family. If he chooses to flee, the child will harm his wife and other children" said one middle-aged man.
"But still! In spite of all that, you must help him!" Alesse. "Who would bother to face someone else's child? We can't lose our hands or our feet! We also have to work to support our family! All of us here are just poor people, who even the daily needs of each of us are not necessarily fulfilled! You think once we help him face his son, he'll help us support our family?" ask the middle-aged man.
In the end the child with the terrifying aura instantly pounced on his father, he even started to tear his clothes to tear his skin.
The man fell on the ground, he crawled into a fit of fatigue while asking people for help, his condition was truly tragic.
Unfortunately people remained unmoved, even until the man was dragged into the house, they did not care. They just waited until the child in the Cursed Condition recovered.
Alesse could not stand still looking at the helpless man. He immediately went to the house.
"Hey, little girl! What do you want?" ask the middle-aged man. He could not stop it because he did not want to deal with the child who experienced the Cursed Condition.
Alesse immediately jumped on the boy's back and then hit him on the nape.
Instantly the boy let go of the bite on his father. Now his attention is turned to Alesse.
"Ware you! Why are you approaching us?" ask the father of the boy who looked limp in panic.
Alesse began to sweat, he also did not know what to face the child like. It was then that his dark aura suddenly appeared, making it feel like his panic disappeared all of a sudden.
People looked astonished at the sight of his majestic horn that had suddenly appeared.
That was when the villagers directly pointed various spears towards the three of them.
"Hey! What are you guys doing?" ask Alesse. "Otherwise? A man who is scared to death of his child does not deserve to live! Look, now he is experiencing the Cursed Condition! There's no reason for us to let the three of you rampage here!" said the middle-aged man.
Alesse immediately hit the boy's nape once more, causing him to fall unconscious. Unfortunately the uncontrollable man continued to swing his hands to and fro with his increasingly elongated claws.
Alesse found it difficult to hit his nape. On the other hand the other villagers started approaching them with those sharp spears.
"Hey! Wait up! Don't point that thing at me, too! I don't have a Cursed Condition! I'm female!" Alesse.
"You think after seeing that horrible figure we believed?" ask the middle-aged man. Alesse was furious because the people could not be spoken to, which was when he suddenly shouted loudly.
Soon the uncontrollable man before him suddenly bowed.
Alesse did not understand what was happening, but the dark aura on the man and child suddenly disappeared.
The villagers were shocked when they saw him, they did not expect the body of the man and child to return to its original state.
Feeling safe, the dark aura on Alesse's body also disappeared, he deftly checked the pulse of the man and the child.
"They're alive!" exclaimed Alesse, but the villagers still kept their distance from him. They did not know what was in front of them.
"Wait moreover? Get them to a warm place! They're dying!" Alesse.
Eventually the villagers ignored the doubts they had. They immediately lifted the body of the child and the man into the house and enveloped them.
"Bring me some water!" alesse Pinta. Without asking much the middle-aged man directly obeyed him.
Alesse was about to slash the neck of the man and the boy with a knife he had just heated with a candle, but the villagers looked at him in astonishment.
"You should all stay outside" Alesse said. "Why? What are you gonna do with that sharp thing?" ask the middle-aged man.
"Just do what I tell you to do if you want this man and child to be safe!" Alesse. The villagers finally obeyed him.
After they left, Alesse directly manipulated the water into a mixture of chemicals. He wants to make medicine and anti-septic.
After a minor operation to help them both breathe, they both woke up.
"What's going on? I'm still alive?" asked the man in astonishment, he looked at his son who had just woken up.
"Dad!" The boy hugged his father tightly, not expecting his father to survive.
"How can I live? This is unbelievable!" said the man. "I helped you both, I stopped you from your Cursed Condition as well" Alesse said.
"You? Little girl?" The man looked confused by the clothes Alesse was wearing. "But you two just survived a critical condition. Better rest in a few days, do not move much first! Then, don't forget to take this medicine I made! Remember sign! This one is taken before meals, and that one after meals" Alesse said.
"Medicine? What'sthat?" ask the man in astonishment. Alesse was silent for a moment. "Duh, bad! I just remembered that this place doesn't know drugs! They just do medical practice without consuming anything like this other than alcohol for dope!" thought.
"Alright, just follow what I say if you want to live! And one more thing...don't tell anyone anything about those drugs!" Alesse. The man nodded too.
"Why are you helping us?" ask the man. "Because you are so unfortunate that it makes me sad, I help you just to comfort myself, so there is no need to thank me! You don't owe me anything" Alesse said, then walked out of the room.
"How are they doing?" asked the middle-aged man, the other villagers also looked curious.
"They're fine" Alesse said with a smile. People were still in disbelief, but after seeing the father and son coming out of the room, they immediately cheered happily.
