Day [Life]: Incarnation

The Secret of Yuma City

"I heard that Yuma city held some rituals that violated the commandments of the gods."

Uncle Url said.

"Infringing?"

"They forcibly changed their race as they wished, some even said that some almost lost their lives when the ritual took place."

Further uncle Url.

"Uh..."

Zena who heard it like it was enough with that.

"Can we continue when we arrive?"

I said to Uncle Url.

"Hm, okay."

He nodded as if he could read the atmosphere. Meanwhile Zena closed her mouth as if in disbelief.

I approached and patted her head gently.

"No need to worry, nothing will happen that threatens his life anyway."

I smiled as I continued to gently pat her head.

"Thank you..."

He then hugged me tightly.

"Eh!? Uh..! This.... We're outside..."

I frantically tried to let go.

"Young time huh? Haha."

Uncle Url laughed happily to see it.

"Aah!!"

Zena jumped up and blushed in embarrassment.

On the way we exchanged stories, joking jokes, even we were like grandfathers and grandchildren? He looks like a grandfather who is trying hard.

We reached the nearest village. As we reached the end of the day, we waited in a log with a bonfire to warm up. Uncle Url went to report to the village chief what happened during his hunt. While Zena sat pensively next to me. I who saw him with a blank mind then touched the tip of his hand.

"Oh, uh..."

He who was surprised immediately looked at me with a smile which then continued with his head rested on my shoulder.

"Try to sleep."

I said while patting my thighs.

"Can?"

He asked when I said that. With a light nod I replied with a smile. He then put his head on my thigh and I stroked his head. Slowly his eyes closed. Her sleeping face was decorated by her happy face.

"...."

Uncle Url then sat down next to me while speaking so.

"Well, that's how it is."

I answered him briefly.

"Yourf...."

Uncle Url exhaled after smoking his thick cigarette.

"How is the story going?"

"Hm? Still want to continue?"

Uncle Url asked her as proof that it wasn't a pleasant story to hear.

"Yes." Yeah."

I'm firm.

"Huf.... All right, I'll continue."

With a few puffs of cigarettes he continued the story this afternoon.

"According to what happened....."

Yuma is a research town. It is said that the city was led by Nobles who were crazy in research and research. In that study they (All researchers including the crazy nobility) tried to change the absolute rules of the Gods. By forcibly changing their destiny and race. But in some experiments they failed because of something less. It says the research is illegal, most of the people may not know what happened but some nobles and clients from the black market know it. You could say this is taboo research. In the black market in the city of Yuma itself there are slaves who are deliberately captured to be experimental material.

And from the news, I was surprised that it turned out that Zena was the next target to be made experiment. Uncle Url was only expecting it because they called 'A blue-haired Elf, and an adventurer' or so Url's uncle heard. The reason they were looking for her was 'special magic power and being able to overcome previous failures.heard the word 'previous' I remembered the time Meli cried because both her parents died. I guess they died from the war, apparently not... They seem to be victims of that research. Only Meli doesn't know. Many secrets from Yuma City were hidden. The war of the time was a diversion so that the victims of the research were not seen. They are great at diversion.

"Then the last one, they might continue and still look for it."

Continue Uncle Url who told me such a long story.

"....."

I watched the story go silent for a while.

"Huf... It might be too heavy for you..."

He said as he exhaled and let out his cigarette smoke.

"Hm... I understand a little what's going on..."

I looked up while thinking. My hand moved by itself and continued to stroke Zena's head.

"Huf... Not much to know..."

Uncle Url spoke again as he let out his cigarette smoke.

"Uncle, if with Halm village, how far is this village from there?"

"Hm? oh, village halm... Maybe 10 days on foot? What's up?"

"Uh... oh, I want to go there, is there a transport? How long will it take to use a horse-drawn carriage?"

It is likely not too far away if using a horse carriage.

"Hm? About 7 days for a horse-drawn carriage. If usually some traders will be there to buy new materials."

"Hm...."

Maybe tomorrow I'll find a merchant who's going to Halm village...
