【036】
Before I could hear a response, a cough echoed from behind me.
So fragile and delicate… such a pitiful sound that I couldn’t bear not to turn around.
“Who’s sick…?”
I couldn’t let anyone be sick. I hated sickness.
I reacted with surprising sensitivity to that cough.
“Hey there. You okay?”
I scurried over and plopped down right in front of the child lying there. The boy then pressed his cheek against my knee, breathing heavily.
‘Wow.’
He looked to be three or four years older than me.
But… but here’s the thing.
‘How can he be this beautiful?’
The most beautiful person I’d ever seen in my life was Elzen.
But that ranking just flipped.
Even though it’s so dark I can barely see anything properly, somehow…
There’s this golden radiance rippling around him. That’s why only he shines so vividly.
Long eyelashes and reddened eyes.
Rosy lips and slightly upturned eyes. A proud nose.
It’s not just ‘beautiful’—it’s more like….
“Radiant.”
Not wrapped in sunlight, but rather crafted from that brilliant luminescence itself, sparkling.
For a moment, I forgot the situation entirely and stared blankly at the boy.
I couldn’t help it.
It just felt like I had to.
‘Like the sun… I want to have him.’
Is this thought strange?
But truly, I really, really want to.
[Honestly, his appearance is devastatingly magnificent!]
Just as I reached out as if enchanted, Upiros suddenly appeared.
‘Devastatingly…?’
[It means remarkably, extremely, splendidly beautiful. It’s the highest tier of compliment! At this level, his face could topple nations!]
‘I see.’
That’s true.
I gently touched the boy’s hair as he nuzzled against me.
‘So soft!’
And he smells wonderful too.
Was he captured just like me?
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ worries about the price of disrupting causality.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ says nothing can be revealed at this moment.]
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ clicks his tongue, saying he’s never seen a creature like that before.]
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ defends you, saying that’s why you’re pure-hearted.]
Huh?
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ expresses joy.]
[Pure-hearted! Another pure-hearted one!]
Why did the Emotion Spirit King suddenly become so delighted?
[The ○○ Spirit King ‘■■■’ speaks.]
[That Fate creature is thrashing about wildly. The price won’t be cheap. It’ll only grow larger with each passing second.]
Since I couldn’t understand their conversation at all, I decided to just use the glittering text as a light source.
“Ugh….”
Just then, the child resting against my thigh started crying too.
“Don’t cry. Crying makes you hungry.”
I rummaged through my pocket and pulled out the round candies inside.
“Here, have the strawberry flavor. It’s Chuuu’s favorite.”
After giving the crying boy the strawberry candy, I took the rest and went to those Half-Elf Friends from before.
“You eat some too. Sweet things give you strength.”
“Fine! A human gave it to us!”
“It’s delicious. Look, yum.”
I showed them by putting a candy in my mouth, then stepped back. The hesitant Half-Elf Friends immediately snatched up the candies from the ground.
“Don’t worry. Our older brother will come rescue us soon. Then we’ll all leave together.”
I’m going to take every single child here with me—not a single one left behind.
Having resolved that, I turned back to the boy.
“Thank you. The candy gave me strength.”
The moment his faint voice reached my ears, I trembled.
How could his voice be like that?
Strangely, I wanted to keep listening.
Keep listening, keep listening—only to me. Just me alone.
“My name is Rasifer.”
“Rasifer.”
“Yes. And you?”
“Superti.”
His gem-like eyes filled with joy.
Something seemed to dance within those beautiful eyes, and I found myself unable to look away.
“Superti. My Shu.”
“Huh? I’m mine.”
“Ah, that’s right. Then I should be yours. Your Rasifer.”
“Um…?”
The conversation was strange somehow, but it wasn’t unpleasant.
I just realized that this child—Rasifer—wasn’t scary at all.
“Aren’t you scared at all?”
“Um… no, I’m a little scared.”
I could have sworn I just heard a yes.
Did I mishear?
I rubbed my eyes and looked again, only to notice tears glistening faintly at the corners of Rasifer’s eyes.
‘Ah. So he was just pretending not to be scared.’
Oh dear.
I found myself hoping Rasifer wouldn’t cry. Though if he did, I had a feeling it would be beautiful in its own way.
Staring blankly at his face, I scolded the mischievous part of myself.
‘You can’t wish for your friend to cry!’
I needed to keep him from crying.
“Listen, I’m the vice-class representative.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. So trust me. I even beat up Ricardo.”
I tensed my tongue to sharpen my slightly slurred pronunciation, then puffed out my chest confidently.
Standing with my shoulders squared back like Mikard, I counted how many people were in this strange space.
‘One, two….’
[There are three Half-Elf Friends and two human children!]
So that makes five of us total.
‘Where is this place? It doesn’t seem like a room.’
The ground beneath my feet felt oddly squishy. The walls too—all wobbly and soft.
“Cloth?”
If I had to describe it, I felt like an eraser or pencil stuffed inside a bag.
As I muttered this while touching the wall, Rasifer—who had somehow gotten closer—smiled.
“Yeah, it’s cloth. Looks like we got shoved into a cloth sack. And we’re moving.”
“Is there any way to escape from here?”
“I don’t know. That seems impossible. What do we do? I’m scared.”
Rasifer’s shoulders tensed slightly.
But why was he smiling?
‘Is he actually scared?’
I had my doubts, but that wasn’t what mattered right now.
“Does anyone happen to have something sharp?”
Of course, no one did.
What child would be carrying forbidden items like that?
‘Sigh.’
I wanted to escape before the Admiral came to rescue us!
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ sternly reminds you that good children don’t touch blades.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ is pleased, saying that exerting effort is more impressive than being docile.]
“Huh?”
I was casually scrolling past the shimmering text from the Spirit Kings when I tried to return to my seat.
That’s when I noticed Rasifer’s gaze lingering on the same spot as mine.
As if he could actually see these shimmering words!
“Ah, so this is how you’ve been protecting them. I can rest easy now.”
“Huh? Rasifer, what are you saying?”
“Nothing.”
But that’s not true! You just said something!
Yet Rasifer simply fell silent.
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ suggests that it would be nice if everyone stayed together in one place.]
I followed the Earth Spirit King’s advice and moved over beside my Half-Elf Friends.
When I did, Rasifer trailed after me, and soon we were all huddled together like a ball of dough.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
In the silence, I could only hear the faint sound of candy rolling.
How many seconds had passed like this?
“Should we sing?”
“Sing?”
“Yeah. Let’s sing. Then the Admiral and my older brother will find us faster.”
I remembered the song the Carrot Class Teacher taught us!
I cleared my throat and belted out “Chick Chirp Chirp” with all my might.
My Half-Elf Friends didn’t seem to know the song, but Rasifer apparently did, and he soon joined in with me.
“The chick goes chirp chirp chirp! Mama hen goes cluck cluck cluck! Chirp chirp chirp! Cluck cluck cluck! We walk together!”
Since those were essentially all the lyrics, it wasn’t long before my Half-Elf Friends were singing along too.
The narrow dark space filled with our voices.
Suddenly excited, I jumped to my feet and sang even louder.
“The chick goes chirp chirp chu——!”
Right then.
CRASH!!
An enormous explosion tore through everything.
And then golden sunset light came pouring in!
“I’ve come to rescue you, little one.”
My savior was the Admiral.
