Humans are animals that regret.

And regrets are always too late.

“Fucked, really…!”

In general, is it acceptable for a slave to point a weapon at someone? Of course not! I had to endure it! I feel nothing but regret. I should have been patient! Are you going to just run away like this? But where? I could leave right now, but I can’t when I think of Jules. Even if I leave, I have to at least finish this job. A sense of responsibility floating through my mind forced me to do so. It is a big problem that slaves pointed weapons at people. I don’t know how big of a problem it actually is, but what is certain is that it cannot be ignored. I forgot what Juul warned me about when he first gave me the weapon. Don’t cause an accident. There was no need to take out a weapon. It’s like a stupid kid who picked up a gun and aimed irresponsibly. Even if the opponent aimed first, what human rights do slaves have? What happened just now is a situation where if I can’t be held responsible, the owner could be held responsible. Jules is the only person who provides me with food, clothing, shelter, and personal care! Juul and Yusria stand on equal footing… and are people who work together with Juul. No matter how rude they were, they were not allowed to fight.

as a result.

It’s also my fault for not being able to control my emotions.

“It’s in front of me. Stop whining to yourself and forget about that elf.”

My thoughts were broken.

Nevertheless, it becomes cloudy again. Should I beg, pretend not to know, or run away…

“They are sleeping all over the place, but it looks like there are no humans around. Let’s go together.”

uh?

I couldn’t concentrate on Amor’s words.

“Yes? Yes.”

I walked after Amor without even knowing I had arrived.

Just as he said, there were several goblins and a troll sleeping on a small river in the sunlight, covered in blood.

What did you eat and sleep with? Horse head…?

“Isn’t that a horse’s head?”

“Hmm. Horse meat is delicious. Especially the hind legs and back– Wait, there aren’t any wild horses in the South, right?”

Why… why is the horse there?

One deer is worth the price of 30 deer. That’s also the standard for a small guy. Horus’ horses are pack horses, with an average weight of about 1 ton. 1 ton!

Do you tear it into pieces like that and eat it? In the South without wild horses?! As we went out to the open riverside, the sound of Amor’s footsteps immediately woke up some of the goblins who had been sleeping peacefully.

Is it because my nap was interrupted?

Opening his eyes, he confirmed that the thing in front of him was a troll, and then he stood up awkwardly, looking up at Amor with a sallow face.

“Who are you?”

“Juri wake up! Quickly!”

“Juri! wake up!! A strange troll has arrived!!!”

The goblins violently shook the sleeping troll.

Some shout into their ears and slap them. As the troll frowned and shook his head, the goblins even pulled out his nose hair.

I think it’s too harsh─── Are you smiling?

Both the goblin that is slapping and the goblin that is yelling in his ear are laughing. Did they pull out about three long and thick nose hairs that were visible even from a distance?

“You crazy dwarfs────?!!!”

I must have come to my senses.

As Juri shook her head, the goblins left.

“Wake up nicely—! Kinda───!!!”

Juri roared like a thunderstorm.

Then he rubbed his eyes with his abnormally long hands, like a gibbon. He’s so irritated that he looks like he’s going to throw the goblin at any moment.

“Juri. Where did the saying come from?”

Amor laughs heartily.

“Mal…? Who are you?”

“Forgetfulness is a disease at that level. Don’t you have to be born again? Do you need Ceres’ protection?”

Despite Amor’s scolding, Juri tilted her head without changing her expression.

“No, who are you? I think I’ve seen it somewhere before.”

“That’s it. You idiot.”

Amor sighed and sat down next to Juri.

“What is it? Did you know Juri?”

The goblins, who were in disarray, were sitting together and laughing. Are trolls naturally forgetful? Juri, who sat down with a frown, looks up at Amor.

They both sit the same way, but Amor is much taller.

“So, what’s your business?”

“I heard that you helped humans.”

Juri scratches his head and looks up at Amor.

It looks like Juri still doesn’t understand the situation. The rolling eyes turn to the horse’s head and then to Amor.

Then he stretched and nodded.

“I did what I was told and got the horse.”

“What did you help me with?”

” I heard you want me to follow you around and give you directions? They were good guys. First, I was given a horse, and after showing directions to various places, they gave me two horses. The goblin who was interpreting was also friendly for a guy who was beholden to a human. Are you going to eat it too?”

When Juri put out his head, Amor took it and took the form like a pitcher───.

Booo!!!

I threw it into the river.

As if it wasn’t just thrown, the horse’s head, which flew away like a thunderstorm, splashed and fell into the water.

Hey, he’s doing water swallows with the horse’s head.

“Whahaha!!!”

“He throws several times better than Juri?!”

One horse per carriage.

In other words, the marauders handed over all the horses to these goblins and trolls. There are actually three horse heads. In other words, it means that the carriage cannot be pulled.

why?

Why aren’t they trying to dispose of the paper they looted? Are you not aware that paper becomes unusable when exposed to moisture? Of course, it won’t get too wet, but paper is quite an expensive item. Isn’t the risk too great to get the horse and bring it back?

“What is route guidance? What kind of directions did you give?”

“The geography of this mountain or the place where the river is. Cave, attraction! Awesome scenery! like this. There is no reason to refuse a horse if offered. What is that human? Is it that group of humans?”

“You are Yunaira’s slave, you idiot.”

Juri looks down at me.

“Why do they take slaves with them?”

“They say the guys you gave directions to are skinning Yunaira’s demi-humans.”

“What?! I thought they were kind humans, but they turned out to be crazy, hideous ghosts?!”

The troll opens its eyes wide, looks at Amor with a puzzled expression, and then looks at me.

“That’s right.”

Juri’s wide-open eyes become even wider.

“Guys! Let’s run away──!”

At Juri’s shout, the goblins began to jump on Juri’s body.

“What is this because of stupid Juri!”

“Because of that stupid stone-headed old man with dementia, Juri!”

In the end, Juri gave up trying to run away and threw all the goblins into the river. He threw it so hard that a spray of water erupted as if a bomb had been dropped into the river.

I laugh when I look at it.

“Hahaha!”

“Those things don’t change… Well, I guess it happened like this.”

Amor looks in my direction.

It looks like it’s urging you to wash your hands quickly. The country may be anxious, but it is not yet satisfied.

“No problem now, right?”

They just cooperated without knowing it in a state of ignorance.

You can’t blame me for this. In fact, if they give me information, I can step down cleanly.

“Yes. Can you tell me where the last attraction you introduced was?”

When I asked first, Juri rolled her eyes and continued talking.

“The cave around the human village to the east, the now abandoned Lintcaller’s nest right next to here, and the lake cave to the north!”

This is the first time I have seen Ain treat me so naturally.

Like other subhumans, I don’t ask how they speak Korean, I just admire them. The goblins also accepted it without being particularly surprised.

Come to think of it, goblins tend to learn a lot of human language in order to blend in with humans. Perhaps the way they look at me now is that of a foreigner who speaks Korean well?

Unlike this group of easy-going goblins, Amor frowned, as if he was very uncomfortable.

“The lake cave is a sanctuary. Why do you tell humans that?”

Sanctuary?

Is there something in that cave?

“No, you said you want to look around the south. He asked me to recommend a place to stay as a starting point. So, I only chose places where it would be difficult for southerners to smell and told them.”

Juri cocked her head, pursed her lips, and looked at Amor.

“But, I don’t remember who you really are.”

“That’s it. It’s a stone head. Get them out of the way first. Everything is floating away.”

“Ouch! Those idiots faint and go crazy!”

Juri noisily jumped into the river towards the unconscious goblin, which was floating away. Amor laughed at that for a long time and then passed away.

*

It’s already sunset.

How many people would go this far with a stranger just for the first time? I’m just sorry but thankful.

“Thank you. Amor. I will try to convey what I saw today to my owner so that no damage is caused.”

“I am more grateful.”

Now he has all the help he can get.

Now it was time to go back.

“If I take too much of this medicine, will I get sick or something like that?”

“I’ve never seen a guy like that in 100 years of living. It’s all-powerful. It is good for your health and cures diseases.”

It doesn’t matter if you drink a lot.

If my health worsens in the future, I will have to drink it slowly.

“Okay. Do you have any more questions?”

Any more questions?

I have a lot of questions, but I wonder whether Amor will be happy or not.

“Do you mind about medicine?”

“What are you more curious about?”

“Is there an expiration date? And is there any way to get it back? ···I was impressed because it was so effective. Do other trolls know how to make this medicine?”

After speaking, I am so greedy that it is obvious.

I glanced at Amor’s face. Fortunately, contrary to what I thought, it seems there is nothing wrong with it. Amor shakes his head.

“No. No other troll can do this. It’s because I was born under the protection of the Mother Goddess. It’s just my blood mixed with plain water.”

Mother Earth’s blessing?

Well, it doesn’t make sense that super regeneration, which only appears in cartoons and movies, actually exists. Come to think of it, Amor seems to be similar to Juul.

Moreover, he directly mentioned ‘Earth Mother God’.

Amor, who received the blessing of an ‘angel’, was definitely someone to be wary of, but as a human being, I couldn’t dare do that.

“The reason you went into the ground earlier was to recharge the earth mother god’s protection?”

The corners of Amor’s mouth went up at a slight joke.

“Hehehe! I was just hunting a wild boar.”

That’s surprising.

Anyone who creates such a panacea should run a medical center, there is no need to participate in hunting. The best thing about being born in modern times is medicine.

Is there anyone in Korea who has never been to the hospital? From childhood vaccinations, minor illnesses, accidents, serious illnesses, cavities, colds…

But Amor can solve most problems with his ridiculous abilities. Moreover, the thing that is most lacking here is also doctors.

There are many doctors, but most of them use folk remedies and cannot provide a proper solution. This is a terrible loss of manpower that makes anyone who sees it feel frustrated.

“Amor is much more suited to being a doctor than a hunter, right? Even if you don’t hunt in particular, it doesn’t matter as long as you can make medicine.”

Amor shook his head.

“Not really.”

“It’s a great ability, right? A drug of that caliber is quite famous in the South───.”

“Little friend, ability comes with a price. The price is not limited to just me.”

Amor’s thick voice felt even more hollow.

······What was the story?

“Give me the medicine I gave you.”

He held out the gourd from his belt.

Amor opened the lid with his hand like a pot lid, took out my arrow, and stabbed his finger.

And pour in one more drop.

“There was a time when I helped many people. And at the end, I figured it out. This ability was not something I could handle. Thanks to you, I paid a terrible price. Very terrible…”

I think I know it without having to say it.

You and I would have asked for blood. Amor closed the vial and held it out to me. He took the gourd and tied it tightly to his belt, sealing it so it wouldn’t fall.

“Unless you are poisoned by Lindt’s poison, you will be able to revive everyone as long as they do not die.”

“Thank you for your help, but you also gave me such precious things. Thank you.”

“Because my little friend is polite for his age. It’s also just. When I look at my little friend, I think of my friend.”

Oh, I see. I finally looked Amor in the eye.

Those big eyes were full of melancholy and nostalgia. Today is my first meeting with Amor. Who does Amoro see in me that makes him go out of his way to help me?

“What kind of person was your friend?”

“Died 80 years ago. Hosott cut it into pieces.”

Fuck.

“······I’m sorry.”

“That’s right. Because I became a star at such a young age.”

All demi-humans resemble each other, and their manners and morals are all similar. They resemble each other. I almost lost this mindset this morning.

If everyone understands, if Ain can become friendly with each other. This stupid division and conflict could be resolved.

That’s so unfortunate.

“And then. When I talk to my little friend, I feel like I can feel his heart.”

“···Yes?”

“Should it be said to be transparent? I don’t think my little friend is good at lying. Even if you don’t see the eyes or face, you can feel it as a voice. The little friend is good.”

Wow…!

You’re so good at saying creepy things! I shuddered as the chicken meat began to boil. Amor glanced back at me as I stopped walking, and when he saw me, he smiled and turned his head.

no.

I tried to turn around and looked at the sky again, but the smile on my face cooled little by little and my gaze became fixed.

“···What is that?”

Amor frowned and used his hand telescope to block the sunlight with his hand and frowned. To my eyes, everything seems dark and I can’t see anything…

Why do humans have such bad eyesight?

“What do you have?”

“The Siren is shooting an arrow. There won’t be any sirens around here, right?”

“────?!!”

Elysia found them!
