It's Sudden, But I'm Coming To Another World! I Wish To Live With Peace

Chapter 18: For Now, The More Confident - 2

"Have you seen the village?"

“Yes, but I have one question. It's about the girl called 'Cursed Child'. Why is the boy considered damned?”

“You saw that strange appearance, right? Have a clean white color mixed with their hair color. But even an old man like me whose white is not like that. That hair, it reminds you of the terrifying feeling of death. That's why we call him Cursed.”

I suppressed the feeling of wanting to argue and pushed further.

“He was born by a black wolf mother. At birth, his mother died. Within days, the father who tried to raise her made a mistake while hunting animals and she never returned. The day after, I left him alone in the forest, before long the plants around him died. In the end, I couldn't throw it away. Isn't that weird? And, If any warrior tries to take his life, I don't know if it's a curse or not, we're too afraid that the curse will move on to us. Therefore, we kept him alive outside the village and gave him the destiny to face the calamity that tried to enter this village.”

“So, you used him to ward off disaster because he brought disaster?”

"Because he has no other use than that."

I don't like it. However, this is not a good place to pour out these feelings.

Then, I stood up and tried to leave the house.

“Do not get involved with it. Or disaster will befall you, son. And it's late at night, I can't guarantee security outside the village.”

“I don't plan to leave this village, so don't worry. In that case, let me check it with my own eyes.”

"Do as you please. You will understand after seeing it for yourself.”

I arrived at the entrance of the village with a burning torch in one hand.

If you go in with this, it can cause a fire in the forest, so I extinguish the fire.

After all, with this moonlight, I won't have much trouble.

I proceeded to the place that seemed to be the entrance to the rubble.

It reeks. Like the smell of rotten garbage. Ugh, I'd love to close my nose.

Organs in animals and dirty fruits roll on the legs.

Looks like they left the leftovers they received last night here.

Still, that's no reason for me to stop.

I looked into the rubble.

There's a girl there.

He saw the moon from a hole above the hole.

The moonlight also shone on the girl, her white hair and skin glowing as if they were shining.

Her appearance was not inferior to the magical scenery I saw when I first came to this world.

"Hi."

“….!?”

Called him. He looked at me and then shouted.

He raised an incomprehensible word. Then, he shook his head from side to side and retreated to the back of the rubble.

Tears piled up in her frightened eyes.

"It's okay. I won't do anything to you.”

I called again, but the girl kept making an incomprehensible sound, She's trying to get out of here.

No, it's not that.

I remember what Obaba said, the two girls' parents died shortly after the child was born.

And until now, he lived far away from people.

It was not that he could not speak out of fear.he did not know any words.

It was shallow to think that he could understand language because he was a black wolf.

Coming here, I understand the shortcomings of Possession Magic.

If this magic was used on the cattle, it had the effect of 'making him understand the words' and 'making intent into words.'.

However, for someone who did not know any words, there was nothing they could understand from the very beginning.

Even if I try to express this intention with words, he doesn't know his words.

Perhaps, if Possession Magic was pronounced to this girl, she might understand. Still, there was no point in letting him convey his intentions.

It frustrates me. Thus, the communication…

"I understand…"

Thinking so far, I understood the reason why the girl was trembling.

This girl had been experiencing this frustration since she was born.

What he understood was that the villagers hated him.

When he tried to say something, he didn't even know what it meant.

However, he continued to be persecuted after that.

'Why do they treat me like this?', 'Why do they keep me alive?', There is no way to know such a thing.

Keep living in fear.

So just being called, could make him tremble…

The girl kept her distance but did not run away. No, he can't escape.

A chain was installed at his feet, leading to a large pole at the end.

Whether it was just rubbed or he tried to escape many times, there were many traces of blood on his legs.

Not treated as a human. Not even as a farm animal.

My eyes warmed up, and my field of vision blurred.

All the suffering this girl had. I won't be able to understand it.

Still, this girl's horrible past, as if it had appeared, I could feel it.

My tears are flowing, I can't stand it.

I hugged a girl who seemed like she couldn't take it anymore and tried to keep her distance.

He kept on thrashing and screaming in fear. The girl's body.cold.

“It must be lonely right? This is all very difficult for you, isn't it? Scary, right?… This is bullshit! Fuck them! No one has the right to put you in this way of life. You want to complain, right? It's frustrating, isn't it?… In this world where you can't even ask for help, alone... Damn it!!”

When was the last time I cried like a child?

Maybe it was because I felt like the world was lame, and there was nothing precious in it, since then, I didn't even try to cry.

There are some things in this world that cannot be realized. But some things can happen too.

Maybe there are times when it's just me, who can make it happen.

But that, I just said 'yes there's something like that' and I don't care anymore.

I just have to be as strong as I can be, If I can live in peace and safety, that's okay.

When I made the wall unconsciously, this girl destroyed it.

The deepest part of my heart that I covered up. The anger and sadness that had been suppressed and could not go anywhere, was now overflowing.

Instead, I want to shed tears.

Instead, I want to complain to the world that it hurts.

Even if saying that means…

“Uaaa,aaaa,aaaaaaaaaaa!”

I hugged the girl and sobbed.

The girl was frightened, but seeing the situation she started to change her reaction.

Illustrations

He probably understood what I was crying and yelling.

Because that's all the girl knows.

That was why the girl also raised her voice.

He shed tears, and we cried together.

◇

"What did you say!? The kid was caught by a demi-human?”

Mr. Ban tried to save him when he was kidnapped, but after estimating the number and difference in his abilities, he immediately returned to Tiez.

If they were only one or two people, he intended to save her by force, but the numbers were simply too many.

Judging there were no signs of immediate execution, Mr. Ban chose to call for help.

And the maid he chose, that person knew the boy and had a close friendship with Mr. Ban as well, She is Karagyugjesta Domitorkofkon.

As soon as he explained the story, Karagyugjesta jumped out and called out to the others in the Ragdo corps.

Ten people were instantly gathered, but that was enough.

The village population was around 100, and half of them could probably fight well.

If they were normal Knights, they might be worried, but the Ragdo corps had no problems at all.

"Okay, let's go!"

“By the way, how about reporting it first to Lord Ragdo..”.

“We can do it later! The child's life is more important!”

It was not that he was afraid of being stopped by his superiors.

Lord Ragdo will definitely ask to arrange a rescue unit.

Conversely, if he reported it later, he would be scolded.

The Knights jumped out of the castle gate and ran past it on horseback and the van that followed.

“At a time like this, why Illias should be off duty..!”.

“Then I will order my subordinates to go find and explain the situation to him.”

"All right then. If it's Illias, He'll come faster on foot than we use horses.”

Karagyugjesta adheres to the Yugura religion, but he has little faith in it.

But now he had no choice but to pray.

The kid's smart. However, it could be his weakness as well.

◇

After crying for a while, I realized that I had hugged the girl and then I let go.

“Ah, I let you see my unsightly appearance. I'm sorry."

I told the girl that, even though she could not understand my words, if I tried to convey my intentions, well, it still meant something.

And then, he shook his head.

He shook his head!

"Just now ... Did you just shake your head?"

This time he nodded.

"Do you understand my words?"

He's nodding.

And then, He moaned something incomprehensible like 'Auu, auu'.

… I'm thinking about the cause.

This girl should not know the words.

But suddenly he understood these words.

I'm trying to find the same case from past memories.

Then I observed the girl.

And grab the girl's hair.

The girl no longer looked frightened, but stared silently at what I was doing.

The hair of the girl I touched may have been unwashed for a long time.

Stiff, dirty with sebum, and full of dandruff.

However, the hair that was illuminated by the night moonlight still seemed to glow…

No, it's emitting light.it's not a joke.

A single guess came to my mind from my memories and experiences.

I'm not sure, but it might be true.

The girl looked at me with interest.

Of course, it should be. Suddenly, a partner who could convey his intentions to a girl who did not even speak appeared.

Fortunately, the girl knew the meaning of shaking her head.

Maybe he observed the villagers and learned what it meant.

And, I remember that I shook my head when I entered this place.

This was what was desperately remembered by the girl who had learned nothing.

As the only way to defend yourself.

I grabbed the girl by the shoulder and she showed a surprised expression, but I kept telling her.

"Do you want to leave this village?"

The girl stiffened at the question for a while, but ended up nodding.

Of course, I intend to save her from here without having to hear the answer.

However, according to her life so far, the girl now has a trauma that can not be eliminated.

If it's only forced to save him from here, I'm sure the scar will follow the rest of his life.

To eliminate it, he needed to overcome the trauma with his own hands.

When I came here, I didn't know what to do.

When I found out that she was unable to communicate, I thought it was okay to force her.

But now this girl is showing her wish.

There was no other way, though I could only see faint hope, but I wanted certainty.

"Shut up."

Suddenly I heard a voice behind me.

I was so surprised even my heart was beating so fast.

Wh who? since when is anyone else here? and did he hear what I said earlier !?

No. This voice…

"Don't threaten us, who are you?."

Looking back, I saw an indistinct figure like Mr. Ban… !?

Wait, if I take a closer look, it's Mr. Ban explained.

Mr. Ban was dressed like a bandit who was often seen in a fantasy world.

But, It's a little more luxurious than bandits in general.

“I came to help. But when I was planning to hide. I heard the sound of men crying.”.

You heard it!!???

My shameful cry was heard by someone I knew!

This, this should be removed, Wait, calm down, I can't make someone who came to help me die…

"Secret, please keep this a secret!"

“Of course, but there are already Mr. Karagyugjesta and other Ragdo corps outside the forest.”

“As expected, you guys are fast. did Ilias also come?”

“Ilias, he is suddenly out of his duty, and we do not know where he is. But, I am sure my subordinates told him our situation.”.

That might be better.

If it was Illias, He might have entered from the front, and now there was definitely a commotion.

“Anyway, Let's run.”

“No, wait a minute.”

I stopped Mr. Ban, and told him my conversation with the Black Wolf tribe.

“ So so, the other party has already received peace and exchange…. Then it seems better to pick you up tomorrow.”

“Yes, Grandpa Kara and the others have to wait tonight.”.

"I understand. I'll ask them to wait in the cave."

To convince the initially worried Grandpa Kara, I had to leave this village early, but I'm sure Mr. Ban wants to see what will happen from now on.

Therefore, he accepted my offer.

"And I have something to ask you all."

"What's that?"

“It's about this girl.. Hey, it's okay, she's not scary.”

This reminds me, when I realized that Mr. Ban had suddenly appeared, I completely forgot about the girl.

The girl was frightened by Mr. Ban and trembled in the corner of the room.

"Is my bandit style that bad?"

"No, but yes."

I told the girl's story, Talk about wanting to make this girl independent from this village.

"Yooo, oooo!"

Mr. Ban was crying too.

He's a really good guy huh!

“Do you, I see, I understand. Maybe if I explain to Mr. Karagyugjesta, he will definitely cooperate!”

“Yes, anyway, the first thing I want Mr. Ban to do is..”.

With the appearance of Mr. Ban, the idea that had been stuck in my head could become a reality.

Then I got Mr. Ban's approval, and the plan will be done tomorrow.

Time to go back. Because I hugged the girl, my clothes were very dirty and the smell was very pungent.

I'm sure there's a place with a lot of water, so should I clean it there?

The girl looked at me as I tried to leave.

I looked straight into her eyes full of anxiety and smiles.

"No problem. I will definitely set you free.”

Having become a habit of living a safe and peaceful life, I prefer a position that takes a step back.

Avoiding attention-grabbing things, even if I choose to take action, I prefer to push someone forward.

I'm sure even Grandpa Kara or Mr. Ban can save this girl.

Of course if I want to get certainty, I can hand it over to those two people.

But I was thinking.

And I made a decision.

That I want to help this girl, with my own hands.

Even though I have to get out of my peaceful and safe way of life.

Wait, maybe not?

Choosing a way that I will not regret is also a safe choice to keep my mind stable.

So this time, let's say the words I usually avoid.

"'I'll give you freedom."

[TN: in the source it says ' ⁇ ' which means me, this is one of the first person pronouns in Japanese,]

I put the first man in those words, and I swear to the girl.

[TN: In this case, it's the first time the MC has said something using a first-person pronoun with his own mouth, so it's a big deal, I guess.]
