Yuahuatouri: A New Life Being a Legend

Chapter 742 - Falling Sick

"... ..." Shinobu opened both of her eyes, seeing a ray of light enter through the window already opened by Tech.

The morning time had come, Shinobu had a fairly soothing sleep until she immediately woke up and saw Kou who was still asleep next to her with an expression of pain.

"Mama.. wake up... it's morning..."

Shinobu smiled and patted her several times until her left eye detected Kou's body temperature which increased drastically enough that she could see him having a fever.

"T-Tech...! Please check on Mama's condition better..." Tell Shinobu so Tech does it quickly until she is startled by the fever that Kou has been feeling since childhood but is much worse.

"According to what I detected, Madam Kou had a high fever that was quite severe.since childhood she had felt it until there was no medicine right to cure it."

Tech's words startled Shinobu for a moment until she rushed to the kitchen to pick up a handkerchief wet with cold water, after which she approached Kou again to cool his forehead.

"With the cooling of that handkerchief... Mama's gonna get well soon, hopefully." Shinobu tries to keep thinking positively for the sake of Kou who fell ill due to her curse.

"Little princess, I hate to say it but mistress Kou since childhood has already received a curse that gives her a disease without any cure..."

"...The disease over time will get worse to cause the time of his life to decrease, since then he was rumored to die of heart failure."

"There is no cure, recovery, cure, or doctor who can help him. The operation is useless..." Tech was forced to say it to Kou who had already told him back.

"Koneko is sure Mama will recover soon..." Shinobu said it with hope until she did not dare to think negatively.

"I-I want to buy porridge. Please take care of Mama ya." Shinobu went to the drawer and opened it to get the savings in the shape of a cat statue.

Inside was a very small amount of diamonds, the savings were originally for the cost of Shinobu academy when he grew up but he was not interested in entering anymore because of Kou who was sick.

Shinobu walks out and darts towards Ghisaru kingdom to buy porridge at Shimatsu restaurant.

A few minutes later, Shinobu began to queue up to order the porridge as she could see countless customers lining up until the exit waiting for a section to eat breakfast at the restaurant.

"... ..." Shinobu held tightly to her skirt while staring at the land, she had seen a puddle of water reflecting her own face.

Bugs!

Shinobu was deliberately nudged by someone so that she came out of the queue accidentally.

He tries to re-enter but the Legend begins to stop him as he thinks Shinobu is trying to break through the queue haphazardly.

"Oi, oi, oi, what are you trying to do, boy? Did your parents ever teach you the manners to not break through the queue?" Ask the Legend.

"Oh, M-Sorry..." Shinobu lowered her head, allowing the Legend that nudged her to line up until she was forced to walk to the last line.

Shinobu who had just arrived in the last line began to receive another collision from another Legend until she was pushed back and fell.

"God, isn't a boy like you afraid of being kidnapped? Throwing alone is no good..."

"...Where are your Mom and Dad?" Ask the Legend.

"none... Anuu. I came alone."

Shinobu rose again so that the Legend could see both legs and arms that were silver until they thought he was a robot.

"Yes, robots don't have families. It's only natural that in this era there will be robots hanging around..."

"Anuu..." Shinobu chuckled softly and the Legend went silent without listening to her words.

Arata and Ophilia were too busy taking care of all the dishes until they could not see Shinobu who was in desperate need of porridge for the ailing Kou.

Shinobu realizes that she has been waiting for a long time, forced to find another place that provides warm porridge for Kou.

He walked away from the queue to find the merchant who sold the porridge, not long after he found it in front of him.

Seen by some Legends who were enjoying their breakfast as well, he began to walk up to the little merchandise and occupied some small diamonds to buy porridge.

"Anuu. s-one warm porridge, please." Shinobu.

The merchant saw Shinobu who was so small that he could not see her, he started to nod and took the diamond.

Hurrying to make warm porridge for Shinobu who was waiting while holding her skirt, she looked around with a worried expression at the thought of Kou who was still sick.

"This is a little girl..." The merchant gave a warm porridge that had been wrapped, Shinobu took it and he thanked him profusely.

Shinobu walked away from the kingdom and flew high up to go home, giving the porridge to Kou so that he could recover as soon as possible and work as usual to make ends meet.

A few minutes later, Shinobu arrived in her cabin and prepared a bowl to spill the warm porridge she ordered, after which she took the spoon and bowl and approached Kou.

"Mama... wake up, we eat...?" Shinobu smiled until she saw both of Kou's eyes open slowly with a body that was sweating due to the hot temperature.

Kou's gaze initially looked at Korrina who was sitting before him but he started to blink again until his gaze saw Shinobu who was holding a bowl filled with porridge.

"Koneko..."

Shinobu started to help Kou to sit down and then he fed the warm porridge to himself, he started to eat it slowly until it felt bad when trying to swallow it.

"Mama... not good to eat...?" Ask Shinobu.

"No way. Probably because of the fever... Mama's having a hard time eating..." Kou opened his mouth then he ate one more mouthful so that his stomach felt a sense of rejection.

Shinobu quickly picked up a bucket and placed it in front of Kou until he vomited in it quite a lot, Shinobu could only look at it with a worried look because he did not know what to do.

"Maybe... Mama just wants to sleep so she can heal as soon as possible..." Kou stroked Shinobu's head and then lay back on the bed.

"Mama... What kind of medicine should I buy...?" Ask Shinobu.

"There is no need to. later also heal itself..." Kou closed his eyes and Shinobu began to open up the cabin savings that had been exhausted because everything was used to buy porridge and Kou's important business.

"Tech... o-drugs like what should I buy...?" Ask Shinobu.

"I've put that information into your left eye, little princess. Since childhood, he took a lot of medicine to cure all that..."

"All right..." Shinobu had already gotten her goal but she did not know what to do to get it without it.

"Tech, please print a journal of life, fairy tales, science, and practice starting from volumes one to three as soon as possible..." Shinobu orders because he wants to sell everything to produce diamonds.

Shinobu has no intention of asking anyone because she does not want to trouble someone, she has to do everything alone with her responsibilities as a princess who has to take care of a mother.

Spending an hour waiting for all the journals to be printed until they could be sold, Shinobu started putting them all in her backpack and carrying them.

"Little princess, you only endanger yourself if you go outside this cabin..."

"It's okay.I just want to get a diamond to buy medicine, please take care of Mama..." Shinobu walked out then she darted towards Ghisaru kingdom to make sure.

He planned to sell all the journals in the kingdom that he considered safe, he began to land on the ground and find a suitable place to sell.

Shinobu finds a suitable position, he starts to occupy his backpack on the ground and opens it, he also does not forget to take out a board that shows the price of each book.

Everything looks so cheap because Shinobu needs money as quickly as possible to buy the drug, he tries to get all the passing Legends to buy but cannot because he feels very embarrassed and nervous.

"The journal..journalnya.. if you want to read, please to buy this journal..." Shinobu offers it to some passing Legends but they pay no heed to her.

Coincidentally a librarian passed by, Shinobu immediately offered him so that he stopped walking and took the journal to see the contents.

"So a little boy like you tried to sell science journals and exercises with long steps in them...?"

"I-Sorry..." Shinobu bowed her head to the librarian and took back the dirty book until several pages were torn from the rough throw.

Shinobu started offering the journal for hours until no one wanted to buy it because today, they just want the contents of a book that tells everything in person and is fast paced.

Shinobu sat on the ground while waiting for the buyer to come but until the afternoon no one came, someone began to approach her.

"Well, you've spent a long time in that position without permission. Better find somewhere else or you'll have to pay a loss." The Legend says.

"Oh... M-sorry..." Shinobu lowered her head and then she took the backpack that had forgotten to close because her mind kept thinking about Kou who must have been starving and had not taken a single dose of medicine.

All those journals instantly fell because Shinobu who forgot to close them, she immediately took everything one by one without any one person willing to help her.

They only noticed Shinobu attracting a lot of attention until the robe blocking her head began to show one cat ear.

They automatically gossip about Shinobu that Neko Legend is a very dangerous nation, although the kingdom can still be called safe, they are still very sensitive to the Neko Legend race.

Shinobu closed her head back then she looked for another place to sell the journal, she found a good position but the weather was currently not supportive until it brought down heavy rain.

Shinobu tried to find a shelter and he found it until it looked so narrow because there were so many traders who took shelter until he continued to be nudged.

In the end, his backpack was also nudged to the point of dropping several journals on the ground until it got wet, just looking at it made Shinobu sure that he could not sell it.

He began to take the wet journal one by one and then separate it, every painful test he felt, Shinobu remained patient and put on a plain look, he said, he also hoped that someone could come to buy as soon as possible before nightfall.

"Excuse me, do you have a fairy tale book?" A Legend holding an umbrella begins to confront Shinobu to buy a journal.

"A-There's..this..." Shinobu took a fairy tale journal and gave it to the Legend.

"How much?"

"Five hundred only..."

The legend gave Shinobu five hundred small diamonds that he immediately stored in his pocket, the diamonds were still not enough to buy fever medicine because one had spent thirty thousand.

"... ..." Shinobu sat on the ground so that the rain got worse due to the big storm, the raindrops hit all the Legends who were taking shelter including Shinobu.

The night had come, the rain was getting worse and Shinobu was sitting alone in the shade while waiting for a buyer to come, she did not want to go home without buying any medicine.

"Well, I'll try..." Shinobu gets up and holds her backpacks, intending to go to the drugstore to buy medicine with enough money.

Shinobu hopes that there is enough medicine for her to buy using a little diamond, her body receives the raindrops and she approaches a small house selling various drugs.

"Little girl... What do you need?" Ask the seller.

"I want to buy a fever cure..."

The seller took out the fever medicine and placed it on the table, the price could be clearly stated so Shinobu ventured to bid.

"Anu... A-Is five hundred enough...? I-I need it for my sick Mama..." Shinobu pointed out the small diamond but the merchant immediately took the medicine.

"No bargaining...! How can you come alone without an escort, leave quickly!"

"But I need it for my sick mother... My dad's no---"

"I don't care!" The merchant kicked Shinobu out because he did not like a buyer who came unprepared, he quickly closed the store.

The expulsion was rough enough for Shinobu that she fell on the ground until her Kisetsu was dirty from the mud, she got back up and saw her bag getting dirty as well.

"I-I have to buy it where it is. I want you to get well..." Shinobu walked away with a body that was wet from the raindrops of the storm.

It just so happened that Ophilia walked out of the restaurant to close it but she saw Shinobu walking alone in the middle of the street while staring at the mainland confused as to what to do.

"S-Shinobu...?" Ophilia was surprised when she saw Shinobu rain like that, she started to pick up an umbrella and approached herself to invite Shinobu into the restaurant.

"Shinobu... What are you doing here? Night with rainy weather like this..." Ophilia said with a worried expression.

"Aunty..."

Ophilia began to bring Shinobu into the restaurant and she dried up her wet body, she had seen some scars and her missing ears included with her tail as well.

Shinobu must have been hurt again by another Legend until no one could recover it properly, he began to heal all his wounds.

"... ..." Ophilia recalled that Comi's fate would get worse, starting with Korrina and then advancing until Kou and ending at Shinobu's point that really got a lot of hatred.

The girl he is currently helping is a child from Legend who once stopped himself from committing suicide because it had been the cause of the rise of Bamushigaru.

"Shinobu, why are you hurt like that...?"

"Ohh... Anuu. that's yesterday..."

"Keep...why do you go alone at night with rainstorm weather?" Asked Ophilia who started to open Shinobu's backpack until she could see all her journals were wet.

"Anu... I just wanted to buy medicine for Mama.he was sick so I worked hard to find diamonds..."

"...a-I didn't get it, so Koneko can't go home. I want Mama to get well soon..." Shinobu tightly held onto her Kisetsu.

Arata starts to approach Shinobu and then sees her completely messy self, she looks even more unfortunate when left alone, fortunately she takes a bag containing diamonds in it.

"Take this, Shinobu." Said Arata.

"E-Ehh. I can't accept something so big..." Shinobu rejected him because she wanted the diamond bag for them only.

"Shinobu, we'll buy all the journals you write. Just take that money as payment..."

Shinobu couldn't resist now, she started smiling innocently then took the pouch while lowering her head, "T-Thank you..."

"...is this not too--"

"Save the change."

"Well, thank you..." Shinobu was very happy that she could go home to give the fever medicine to Kou.

Arata and Ophilia looked at each other then they looked at Shinobu, "Shinobu..."

"Mmm?"

"What if you work here as a waiter?" Tawar Arata's.

The offer sounded quite favorable but Shinobu started to smile bitterly until she shook her head as she was forced to reject it.

"I'm-I'm sorry. I can't accept the offer..."

"Ehh...? Why...?"

"I-I am a Neko Legend..."

"...it's better they don't see myself serving their dishes,."

"I don't want to cause any commotion and fear in this restaurant..."

"...t-thank you for the offer."
