The Artificial God

The Vision of a Little Child

The next day I woke up soundly, because yesterday all day had been active in a place that I did not like, the library. Although I don't know if it's an activity or not. Because I don't think I did anything yesterday but relax in the park and eat ice cream eight times.

"Who? tumben once Tygruth wasn't in his room. Though every morning I wake up he's still in his room reading books" I thought after seeing Tygruth wasn't in his bed. Then I walked out of the room to ask Boa Boa where Tygruth was going.

"So morning Tygruth went back to the library with the book he borrowed yesterday. His eyes look chaotic, as well as his appearance" said Boa Boa who was cooking something in the kitchen, and Yuki was accompanying Boa Boa while reading a book on the dining table.

After hearing what Boa Boa said about Tygruth. I was really surprised, and immediately thought that Tygruth had not slept all night until he had finished reading all the books he had borrowed yesterday. Foolish kid, why is he so interested in those damn books. Looks like I have to burn the library, and the entire book in this world so Tygruth doesn't go crazy.

"Hei Gernath where are you going in such a hurry?" said Elysna who had just come down the stairs after seeing me rush out of the tavern.

"Just ask Boa Boa more completely" said I who immediately went after him, and ran after Tygruth in the library.

"Yes... Boa Boa... So what did Gernath do?" the Elysna that was seen in his eyes seemed to have no glimmer of hope.

"A-I don't know." said Boa Boa who seems to have been expected to come out of Boa Boa's mouth for Elysna.

"Sister Elysna, and Boa Boa's sister Yuki want to go for a while to play with friends huh" said Boa Boa who immediately put her reading book on the table, and immediately get off his seat.

"Eh!? do you have any friends?" said Boa Boa who was confused because he had never seen Yuki play out with his friends. Then Yuki briefly replied that he had a friend, and immediately left in a hurry. Which seems like Yuki can't wait to play along with her friends.

Meanwhile in the kingdom... His Majesty Gluthoma ordered his subordinates, the great knights of the kingdom who were trusted by the king of Zotheas who was currently going on errands somewhere. Gluthoma orders Zion to investigate someone she perceives as a threat to her.

"Hamba has come before you noble.." said Zion who behaved with respect like a great knight of the kingdom. Starting from his attitude, his way of speaking, the look in his eyes, everything was liked by Gluthoma.

"Go investigate this person." said Gluthoma who gave an idea of the person using his hologram-like powers.

"That creature... from the same nation as me!?" Zion muttered that she looked surprised because the first time she saw someone from the same nation came to this kingdom.

"And also investigate also the people who are in close contact with him" said glutera who looks very serious give direction to Zion.

"Okay, your majesty, but before that there is something that makes you think." said Zion who waited for a noble speech.

"Whatis that? my great knight, Zion...?" said Gluthoma who stood from his throne.

"What is your noble purpose in investigating them" Zion said as she lowered her head, and closed her eyes.

"I do not know." said the noble Gluthoma who made Zion's heart moved, and obeyed his command with all her soul.

"Alright then, your majesty, I will withdraw from here" said Zion who immediately went to carry out her duties given to her. But when he came out of the king's residence, Bane, the great knight who held the arm armor of the left arm of the mythological creature Cerberus, was already waiting for Zion's arrival while leaning against the wall.

"I can't tell you that, and he's not a fucking kid. He is our king." said the indifferent Zion, and immediately left Bane. Hearing that remark Bane was angry, and stopped Zion from leaving by holding her shoulder.

"Hey... you're a lowly creature, you really make me angry" said Bane who can't stand to see Zion. Because Bane had always underestimated Zion, and considered her weak so that the creature did not seem to deserve to be in the same status.

"Hey..take off that dirty hand of yours!" said Zion who looked at Bane sharply, with the look of his eyes that wanted to kill. His face looked wrathful, and Bane reflexively released the grip of his hand that he had placed on Zion's shoulder. Afterwards Zion leaves Bane, and does her job. After Zion left, Thoma came before Zion after seeing what happened to them.

"Haha! are you afraid of that little cat?" said Thoma who is a mythological creature Minotaur the owner of the right foot armour.

"Silence you're a jerk!" bane said with a feeling of annoyance, and left the Minotaur.

Meanwhile, I was in a hurry to go to the library to see Tygruth. I met a little boy who looked helpless on the side of the road. No one cared about him even though he was very attention-grabbing. I came to the little boy and took him somewhere to buy him food and drink.

"Are you still hungry?" I said to the little boy I picked up on the street who was eating the food I gave. Then the little boy answered my question with a nod, after which I went to buy food for him again, and returned.

"Why... Are you so good to me? while no one cares about me out there" said the little boy in his shabby clothes, and his disheveled appearance. I felt sorry to see a little boy suffering like that. Seeing the suffering of others is like seeing myself suffer.

"Because I am your hero" I said, smiling at him to give the spirit of life that had been lost to the little boy's soul.

"Then your hero's action is enough to get here" said the little boy who was seen in an instant giving a fragile smile to me.

"Huh!? wh-why is that?" I said confusedly hearing her unreasonable words.

"I don't want you to give me your heart. I don't want you to have a relationship with me. I don't want you to feel it any longer" the little boy said with a puzzling remark.

"What are you talking about? did my previous words make you feel bad? then I'm sorry" said I who somehow felt guilty for her.

"No. those words are more than enough for me. So don't get too involved just in people like me" said the little boy who seemed to be holding back something he wanted to talk about.

I really don't understand what he's saying, and what he's thinking. But looking at the look in her eyes that looked happy when she met me it looked real. I could feel that happy feeling, but I still couldn't feel her little fretting heart for what reason.

"Do you.. see the future?" my words back then were all I could think of after deducing from everything I felt right now to the boy. Because he always looked restless, his heart continued to feel restless even though he felt a sense of happiness. He was always anxious, and afraid of what he saw.

But when I spoke like that he was silent, and surprised. Until he finally said something to me for a short time, "Yes, I saw death" said the little boy who then left my sight. After hearing the little boy's words I could only freeze, my heart also felt restless.

It was so fretting that my breath became congested, I lost my focus on the little boy, and the little boy had gone somewhere out of my reach. Sweat immediately poured all over my body, this tightness was felt again. Hearing the word death alone has made me like this. Because I always remember the people I love leaving, that's why I feel restless, and scared right now.
