Chapter 65
side: Vilia1)
(Vilia)Nee, Aslin, Philia. Yuki-sensei2) Onii-sama isnt coming today?
When they heard us talking about Yuki onii-sama, everyone around looked at me seemingly interested.
Thats no surprise. Because its strange for Yuki onii-sama not to come to school.
Everyone loves Yuki onii-sama.
(Philia)Today we have self-study. Onii-chan and the others representative have a meeting today from the morning. He said something like, a great person is coming?
(Aslin)Yes, nii-sama is busy with meetings today. So we can take it slowly.
When they answered that, everyone became gloomy uniformly.
(Kid)Hi Ku3) Why Is he abandoning us Hummm
(Some other Kid)Eh!? That No, that cant be
One person began to cry, and like something infectious, soon half of the neighborhood broke into tears.
(Philia)Awaawa!? Please stop crying, onii-chan will never do such a thing!! Today he cant help it because he had work.
(Aslin)Yes he is. He is just busy for awhile and will neatly come tomorrow. So stop crying!?
The two were confused, they hurriedly tried to calm everyone.
Well, this was inevitable.
Usually, Yuki onii-sama was calming everyone.
Though the other representatives could be seen around, Yuki onii-sama had been managing the school alone.
His wife, Seraria-sama, showed her face every one or two days.
If I know that my onii-sama is coming back, I had no need to be shocked.
I had to help Aslin and Philia.
(Vilia)Hey!! Stop crying everyone!! Thats something Yuki-sensei hates!!
After I said that loudly, everyone stopped.
(Vilia)Aslin just said it. He has an important work today. So lets study hard, and have a good praise tomorrow. Yuki-sensei would be in trouble if he heard you cried the whole day.
(Kid) If you work hard, he will praise you?
(Vilia)Of course. Sensei is kind, dont you think?
(Kid)I know!!
(Vilia)Therefore, lets work hard.
(Kid)Yes!!
The person nodded this time and everyone returned to their desk simultaneously, opened a textbook, and started studying.
(Philia)Vilia-chan!? Everyone somehow started studying!?
(Vilia)Well, why not?
(Aslin)Nii-sama said it was leisure time today and not study!? Im playing!! Ill study when Im being told to.
(Vilia)Why is that?
(Philia)I do not know exactly what onii-chan meant but he saidThere are a lots of things you can do now. Playing with friends, doing foolish things.. !
(Aslin)Ill just tell you, he meant studying alone is no good! Many, many things are more useful to you!!
(Vilia)Hmm. Then, what should I do? Everyone, what do you think?
Since I didnt really know what onii-sama said, I tried asking everyone.
(Kid)I dont know.
(Kid)Lets play soccer!!
(Kid)You just did yesterday You do that every day!!
(Kid)Ehh, but soccer is fun!
They voiced different opinions.
(Kid) Vilia onee-chan. Lets use the transfer field and visit various places. This Dungeon? I dont know it very well.
One of the kids said that.
(Vilia)Thats right. Its a good idea. We still dont know anything about this dungeon. I got a map of the Dungeon in the last class. Lets get on a tour!!
Yes!!
(Philia)Somehow, Vilia-chan is reliable.
(Aslin)Yes, like nii-sama.
Aslin and Philia praised me.
(Vilia)Im glad you said Im reliable like onii-sama. Im sure in the future, I will be a great lady4)that will be useful to onii-sama. ! Will Aslin or Philia contact the representatives?
(Aslin)Yes, but why?
(Vilia)Because, if they come to see our situation, and they cant find us, it will make a fuss. And we also have to consult about lunch and other matters.
(Aslin)Yes, youre right. Wait a minute.
Aslin was using Call to contact someone.
That skill seemed to be usable by the representative. Of course, onii-sama could use it too.
I was a bit envious of Aslin and Philia.
They seemed to be together with onii-sama since forever when I met him.
Oh, for now, I had to prepare thoroughly.
(Vilia)Please everyone put a bottle of water, your name tag, and your identification card properly in your backpack. We may also go to Super Lutz so lets bring some money.
With my explanation, everyone went back to their room to prepare.
Every child made a happy face. This sight would seem like a lie before coming here.
(Vilia)Really, like a dream
I am Vilia.
I was living in the slum of the Royal Capital of Roshuru.
I could only remember a little of my parents.
However, they were kind. Both my father and mother were warm.
But before I noticed, I became alone.
Driven out of the house, I joined people and we had to support each other.
Hungry everyday.
At that time, I begged to live, looking for something to eat.
The slum had a group of children.
The children who tried to live often resorted to thievery and became criminal. But a child who had to do that in order to live was still earnest.
But, most of those who could not bear the hunger and resorted to crime didnt return alive.
(Hiiro).. Hey. Vilia onee-chan. Onii wont move?
Hiiro grasped me and asked.
In front of our eyes was our elder brother.
Even if my brother was the leader of the group
And we had no actual connection. For us, it was enough.
Everyday, he had desperately collected food that he shared with all of us He was a good brother.
Our brother was hugging tightly the bread with both his hands but he wasnt moving.
No, he was already dead.
On the wall in the other side were traces of blood
(Vilia)Brother is just a bit tired. Lets put him in the bed. Because brother brought bread, can you put it in the basket Hiiro and share it with everyone.
(Hiiro)Yes. I understand.
Hiiro went Patapata5)and took the bread away.
The vibration made brother slump on the ground. Blood tainted the wall.
Where did you steal that bread?
I cant stand it. Naturally, in the end were criminals But its sad.
I buried brothers dead body in a place where the other brothers slept.
(Seraria)Ara? I guess that thief has quite the guts, doesnt she?
It was my encounter with Seraria, and the premise of my travel for the Dungeon.
While I was brought by Seraria, I heard various stories.
I couldnt die in such a place, so I answered obediently, trying hard to please her into a good mood.
And when our talk ended, Seraria-sama said.
(Seraria)Say, Vilia. Why dont you come with us and bring the other children along?
(Vilia)Eh?
(Seraria)Theres just a little work for the children. If you come, you can eat meals properly.
(Vilia)Work Will you give us?
(Seraria)Yes. Hopefully you will get to a place where orphans like you can live properly. Doesnt that sound good?
(Vilia)Ye-yes!! I will tell everyone!
(Seraria)Wait, just a minute. You!!
(Soldier)Ha!
(Seraria)Follow Vilia and buy some food with these money. If a kid holds the money, it will get stolen, so accompany her for a bit. You should keep it firmly.
(You)Ha! Lets go.
(Seraria).. Kur, the number of orphans is abnormal. With this number of people, it would be impossible to cover them all
(Kur) Thats a thing, but the minister Loire grasped the money related to helping the orphans.
(Seraria)That low life!! Check it as soon No, Ill strike him. You come along. Because we have to depart tomorrow, lets clean up and seize him today. If he resists, lets cut him off.
(Kur)Hey!? How are you going to cleanup!?
(Seraria)I will leave it to Aria ane-sama. If someone can do it well, its her.
Then, I decided to follow Seraria.
(Yuki)Okay, everyones here? Youre training today Now, I am Yuki, I will be your sensei at school. Nice to meet you!!
The first impression I had from Seraria-samas husband was only so-so.
(Vilia)W, well. Are you perhaps Seraria-samas husband?? Ple-please treat me well!
Since I was the leader of everyone, I squeezed the words I was desperately thinking.
(Yuki)Ah, Seraria huh. That question is a problem
What Yuki-sama said had a taste of dissatisfaction.
(Vilia)So-sorry!! Do you have any problem!?
(Yuki)Oh, no no. Its not your fault. And youre the one who greeted me, are you the childrens mediator or something?
(Vilia)Yes! I am Vilia!! Please punish me if there is something you dont like!! Please forgive everyone..
Before I was done with my sentence, a hand was put on top of my head and I was shivering.
(Yuki)Sorry if I scared you. I want to get along with everyone. So I wont punish.
Yuki-sama bent his knees to fit my height.
At the same time, he moved his hand lightly and gently stroked my head.
(Yuki)Viria is excellent. You did that for everyone. Much more excellent than I am.
(Vilia)Eh?
(Yuki)Therefore, dont exert yourself so much. From here on, I will protect you.
(Vilia)Ah, ah..
The words sank into my body, my eyes brimmed with tears that I couldnt stop.
(Vilia)AaaaaaAAAHHHH. !
(Yuki)Cry cry, let it all out. You tried too hard with this small body. Seriously Its way different than my childhood.
(Vilia)Everyday, everyday , nothing to eat My brother and I did best..
(Yuki)I understand, I understand Wait, you all!?
Everyone started crying as I cried.
From here on, onii-sama desperately wanted to get along with everyone.
We stopped crying now, because we had a lot of fun things to do and we could eat meals.
Then, days like dream began.
Everyone could go at the school, and we could all live together in the dormitory.
A house, a roof, a bed? Everyone had something prepared, and we could all eat meals together.
And we could study and play everyday at the school.
Just like onii-sama said, a lot of fun things
(Vilia)Even if its only one week&hell
