The Repeaters

5. Bondslave

The sun has risen, in this cool atmosphere, Leonardo and Lily continue their activities, they go around the city of OZ in the hope that Leonardo's memory can return little by little.

They continued to walk without knowing the direction and just went around, until the time had become daylight, yet they still had not found any information, either, because Lily was getting tired they decided to rest at the restaurant there.

At the restaurant it was seen that many residents were enjoying their food and drinks, they were talking to each other, but what they were talking about was not normal, it was not normal, they kept saying taboo things like slaves, or negotiating about dark items, creating a noisy atmosphere.

In the crowd, Leonardo and Lily sit in the corner of the room, Lily enjoying the food, while Leonardo continues to watch the movements of the residents.

After the incident that happened yesterday made the man very vigilant, he did not believe the majority of the population here, and assumed that the OZ city was filled with garbage.

Those white eyes of his continued to stare intently at the crowd, he held his sword as if ready to be attacked at any moment, he was completely on guard.

"Excuse me, can I help you?" a girl with handcuffed legs approaches Leonardo.

His face was very cute, his clothes were tattered, only for a moment for Leonardo to realize that this girl was a slave.

"I-i"

"Whoi!! Rubbish thing! When do you want to keep customers waiting?! Quickly serve me the shucks!" A voice appeared from behind Leonardo, featuring a muscular man and having a tattoo at the end of his hand patting the table making Leonardo's speech cut off.

"Sorry! I'll be there soon." The girl walked towards the muscular man with fear.

When the girl quivered in fear without much nonsense the tattooed man hit the girl to the ground and bled on her cheek

"Basic is useless! Why are you really scared?! Bring me some food!! You trash!" The man kicked the weakly lying girl's stomach.

Not stopping there he pulled his orange hair and beat the girl with his left hand nonstop, all the people who enjoyed the food there laughed, they did not want to break even mocking the slave.

Leonardo was furious, his emotions had exploded, he unsheathed his sword and planned to kill the man. But she is once again stopped by Lily, she holds tightly to Leonardo's hand.

"Don't Leo!"

"Why?! What's you-"

"I know how you feel!! But chill your head and listen to what I say okay!"

Leonardo sighed with emotion, he hit the table and sat back in his chair.

"So what? Explain quickly!" Leonardo's white eyes stared intently at Lily.

"The slaves cannot be saved! on his chest was a small magic circle. The circle will respond to whatever the owner says, if they say 'dead', then they will be 'dead', even though the runaway slave remains useless. Because if they get away from their owners even if it is only a few kilometers away then their heart will be destroyed and they die. Already understand?! Whatever you do is free!"

Leonardo was silent to listen to the explanation from Lily, in his memory flashed the incident yesterday, when the red-haired girl had her head suddenly exploded. But somehow in Leonardo's brain there's a crazy idea.

"Don't if we kill the owner of the magic circle, everything will be fine?"

Leonardo touched Lily's hand, with a smile and a soft voice he said, it's okay. Lily stared in surprise at Leonardo, the man standing from his seat.

He ran and hit the muscular man stopping his unflattering activities, the man crashed, his body floated up to hit the dining table of two other customers who were busy talking and dropping their meals.

"Woi! Goddammit! What are you doing?!" They stood up from their seats and stared intently at Leonardo. Not only are the rest of the diners staring at Leonardo the source of this problem.

But Leonardo ignored the gaze, he held the hand of the slave girl and ran away from the room, Lily followed in his footsteps.

"Woi! Don't let the boy go! Catch her!" A fat man shouted making the customers run after them.

Leonardo, Lily, and the girl speed up as customers chase after her, occasionally bumping into people, passing through various housing estates, and small alleys, but they are pursued desperately.

Until they finally escaped the pursuit of the customers, they hid under the river bridge hiding themselves from the mass chase.

"Huh. Heh. You crazy Leonardo?!" Lily's breath was panting.

The man leaning against the wall did not respond, he held tightly onto the hand of the slave girl.

"Why are you doing this?" The girl looked at Leonardo with a look full of sadness, she was never treated kindly by the people around her.

"If I let someone oppressed in front of my eyes where can I let him, I was not created to be that bad a human being!" Leonardo Sahut.

The nameless girl was moved to hear a remark from Leonardo, for the first time she was treated like a human by someone this was what made her involuntarily shed tears.

Lily who saw that could not bear it, she walked up to the girl and hugged her while saying that this was okay, everything would definitely be fine. The girl's cry broke when she received Lily's warm embrace.

At night the three of them decided to come out of hiding, of course with great care, they bowed their bodies and occasionally hid in the walls if there were people passing by, they're really careful.

After the situation became safe the three of them quickly ran, passed through the residential residents, a small river, and entered a small alley then entered in one of the inns, yes. This is the inn they booked last night.

When they stepped on foot there, the situation was completely silent. The grandmother who usually keeps the cashier is not there, there are only locked rooms.

With careful steps, as if the enemy could attack at any time, they went to the room to rest and calm down.

"Well, it's finally there" Lily complained, shutting the door tightly.

Leonardo and the orange-haired girl sighed, leaning on the wall.

But the girl once again cried, she was completely moved by the kindness of these two people. Lily smiled and approached the girl, she stroked her orange hair and hugged her once more.

The orange-haired girl's heart felt warm, she returned her embrace tighter and cried even harder.

Feeling that it would bother Leonardo decided to get out of the room for a while. He also went out the night to find as much information as possible, he was already infuriated by the behavior of a man named Edward, this was all his fault, he traded humans, he sold them, if only he had not done such a thing no one would have suffered. Leonardo swore when he met her he would hit the man's face until his face was out of shape.
