There's Nothing Wrong Starting Life In Another World From Zero
Chapter 254: Clover Leaves
Bellatrix was flying lower than before, combing the high mountains, I saw some children were looking for something in the meadow.
Out of curiosity I asked Bellatrix to come down and say hello to them.
"What are you guys doing?" manyus.
"We're looking for four-leaf clover leaves."
"Four-leaved clover?" bellatrix said behind me in her human form.
"What are you looking for?" that's obviously something to ask.
"We want to sell it, where we live these leaves are quite salable, can find it then we have a lot of money."
I glanced far away from where I was standing, I could see that there was a city there, precisely near the stream that surrounded it.
"May I also seek."
"Of course, you can search anywhere."
Bellatrix said to me.
"Kazuya don't we have to go?"
"No need to rush, instead he said we can make money with this."
"I'm also a little curious as to what people buy it for."
We both crouched down to search among the bushes, coincidentally the children managed to get it.
"I found it."
"I am too."
Over time the children began to disappear one by one and only me and Bellatrix were left behind until noon.
"We didn't get Kazuya."
"If this is the case, let me make it myself."
I brought up two clover leaves, one of which I gave to Bellatrix.
"You should've done it before" cried Bellatrix.
"I can't show it to them, doing something like this is also sometimes fun."
"You're a boy."
After getting it me and Bellatrix walked towards the city, once there a shocking thing had happened, the children who had previously taken clover leaves had all died.
People gathered them in a row with cloth covers on their bodies.
"What the fuck?"
I bit my lip and said to one of the closest people.
"Why with them?"
"They died of food poisoning."
I can see their mouths foaming.
"Eh, Kazuya, it's not like we met them this morning."
I clearly remember it.
"What do you mean?"
"Actually we met in the meadow before coming here, they said they wanted to take four-leaf clover leaves to sell," hearing my words, the face of the man I asked was shocked.
"These kids like to collect clover leaves, they say they'll sell them to other people from out of town so they can eat but we'd rather buy them out of pity."
I clenched my fist and asked back.
"Why were they poisoned?"
"They live in orphanages and rely only on food delivered from the capital once every three days, it seems like the officials there are replacing food with expired food, corrupt practices are already happening in the country."
I walked through the people to put clover leaves in the hands of a child I spoke to, if I had come here with them, I could still turn them on.
I stood up and walked away.
"Hey, Kazuya? This is not the kingdom of Weisvia, if you kill them it will only ignite the war of the two kingdoms."
"If everyone in this country is guilty, I'll settle it alone without royal interference."
"You're crazy, you're gonna destroy the country just because they're dead."
Bellatrix held my hand and I pushed her against the wall.
"Kazuya?" his face looked surprised.
Dragons have a long life and sometimes they are also immortal, therefore, they do not know the meaning of having a short life.
"Sorry Bellatrix, but to me their lives mean so much that even if I only know them for a few seconds, their smiles, their laughter should not be taken for granted by irresponsible people... the reason why they sold clover leaves was because they were starving, I saw one of them holding their stomach."
"Kazuya, you?"
"If some of the children knew that there was poison, they would eat it because they were hungry."
"Impossible."
"Wait, let me come, too."
