"Bolts.. Bolts! Are you listening to me? Awake Bolt!" The girl screamed and cried to wake the child in her lap.
Nier went straight up to them and saw Bolt, he was still breathing and his pulse was still felt and Nier gave the HP potion to the girl.
"It looks like he hasn't died quickly give this potion to him."
"Thank you. love.." The girl was still crying and took the potion Nier gave her and drank it on Bolt.
Moments after that the bleeding on his stomach stopped and his breathing became calmer, Nier noticed the little man had been severely injured on his stomach and back.
"Yue come here, use your Heal skill on him."
"Good!"
Yue used his mental skill and Bolt's body shone, the wounds on his stomach gradually began to shrink. Yue continued to use his skill and eventually the wounds on his stomach started to improve even though there was still a slightly injured part.
"Good, thank you Yue."
"Thank you sis..., do you guys.. also want to .. pillage our village?" The girl asked with tears on her cheeks.
Nier notices the girl, it turns out she is smaller than Remi probably around 14 years old, with tears on her face she also looks quite pretty.
"Of course not, we just want to go to the capital then we hear your screaming voice." Nier smiled and stroked his head.
"Nier you look like a pedophile teasing a child." Lucia said with a slight laugh.
"A-What? How could I look like that, right?" Nier looked at Yue.
"So.. Your smile is a little creepy..." Yue's voice was very slow when he said that.
"Bright.. Forget it, so what little girl happened to you?" Nier asked curiously.
The girl still looked scared and nervously she explained her circumstances.
"We.. our village was destroyed by being plundered by the bandits.they will kill us if we do not give our treasure to them..," The girl told her story with tears dripping down her cheeks and continued, "...They killed my father ..my mother and ..my sister suffered like this because of it..." Said the girl and her body seemed to tremble.
Lucia ran towards him then hugged the girl and stroked her head.
"Calm down.we'll take care of you, you and your sister don't have to suffer anymore..." Lucia said with a hug.
Nier heard it became pity with her while Yue looked her eyes glazed over like she wanted to cry.
While this is just a game, it feels very real as if the npc in front of them feels like a real human being. Even Nier who regarded this world as a game also felt emotional.
"Little girl, tell me what's your name?"
"I'm Elyu and this is my brother Bolt." Girl replied.
"Good, let's go to your village first. I'll help if the village is attacked by bandits." Nier said with a smile.
"No way, you don't even know how strong and numerous those bandits are!" Elyu.
"Is it like that?"
"Yes, but they're hundreds and have a full arsenal!" Elyu panicked and tried to hold Nier.
"Elyu.., let's go to your village." Lucia smiled and hugged him back.
Elyu who was still in his arms nodded and he slowly stood up.
Nier carries a bolt on his back and his party begins to walk with Elyu as its leader.
Elyu's journey tells a lot about his village and it makes Nier more knowledgeable about the enemies he will face.
Bandits would come once every two weeks and when they looted there would be at least 20 members coming, each member would bring complete equipment and carry one horse carriage.
The looters not only took their treasure but also took the pretty girl and put her in a horse carriage.
Elyu is one of the girls who wants to be captured by the looters and when he finds out about it, Elyu tries to escape from the village along with his sister.
Unfortunately, when they escape, they meet the bandit immediately, so Bolt protects his brother so he ends up being like this.
They walked for a few minutes into the jungle and saw a village that looked worse than the orc village they had ever met.
Garbang looks destroyed and can not be used anymore, their house is even worse it does not have a door and looks a lot of holes in the roof.
"Is this your village? Why don't I see one person?" Nier asked while looking at the village.
"They were hiding inside the house, ..we didn't have the strength to fight them so we could just hide and wait for them to leave.."
"Do you know where the village chief lives?"
Elyu nodded, he looked like he was thinking of something by looking at the surroundings.
"Take me to see him."
Elyu once again nodded and led the way to the village chief's house, the more they entered into the village the atmosphere became so heavy, many crying sounds were heard from every house.
"here.." Elyu pointed at the house that looked slightly larger than the other houses and also had more weapon scratches on its walls.
Nier went inside and saw a room with only chairs and tables inside.
"Excuse me..."
Nier kept knocking on the door but there were no answers and the crying sounds in every house became lost.
Since no answer came Nier tried to enter and check into the house, then he was surprised to see what was in front of him.
3 People were already prostrating in front of Nier in tears.
"Sir.pardon us. We really don't have anything else..." Said one of the people who was prostrating and his voice sounded sad.
Nier scratched the back of his head then looked at Lucia and Yue.
"Now do I look like a criminal again?" Nier asked with a sour face.
Lucia and Yue immediately shook their heads at the sight of Nier's sad-looking face.
Nier looked at the three prostrating people then noticed, two men and a woman with a thin body were prostrating, she felt bad about this atmosphere.
"Hey stop kowtowing, who says I'm a bandit who's gonna rob you.."
Then the three people immediately looked towards Nier with faces of disbelief.
"Master.. Is the master our hero?.." Said a young man who looked like he was a dozen years old.
"I'm not a hero, but we came here to help you guys because of this little girl's request." Nier turned towards Elyu and stroked his head.
The three of them instantly looked at the little girl called Nier, then their eyes twinkled.
"El-Elyu? Are you still alive?..."
"Bolt!. Did Bolt survive!?"
Nier took down Bolt who was on his back and put him on the floor.
The three of them fell silent and looked towards Nier.
"Since I'm going to help you, just tell me what you need right now."
They were shocked by Nier's words then quickly hugged Nier's leg and cried.
"Thank you, sir, please help our village.." The old man explained the village's needs and told him everything that happened.
The three of them were one family and the village head named Gord, he said that the village was in desperate need of food.
