"I want to see her cry," I said to my two friends, Vela Crawford and Luvino Fafnir.
"Uwah.. what is this? Blaze, since when did you become this disgusting?" said a woman with dark purple hair and silver eyes (vela)
"I think what Blaze meant was that he just wanted to tease his little sister until she cried," replied the man with blonde hair and orange eyes (Luvino).
''That's also evil behavior! Isn't she only one year old? Teasing her until she cries, isn't that very evil?'' said Vela.
''That's right. Even though you're known to be naughty, it's still too much if your dream is just to make your little sister cry,'' replied Luvino.
''You guys don't understand at all!'' I exclaimed.
"My little sister is different," I said.
"Yes... yes... I understand, everyone will say that too. My little sister is different. I'm like a parent who is too proud of his child," Vale replied, which immediately made me annoyed.
''It's not like that, she's really different,'' I said.
''That time, when I killed the hitman or even when I killed dozens of killer rabbits. That child didn't cry at all. He even looked amazed!'' I exclaimed, making them look at me like a weirdo.
"That... isn't it normal? Besides, you're from the Florin family," said Luvino.
''That...ugh..maybe..but..shouldn't a child her age be crying?'' I said as I sat back down quietly.
"It's not wrong. But she could be the same as you, who is crazy about killing. The blood of a psychopath is already embedded in her," replied Vela.
....if that... that girl... her figure is so innocent and white... a psychopath?... I can't imagine it at all
''Maybe Blaze has been with Brother Vered for too long, that's why sometimes you forget your family identity, right?'' said Luvino.
''...maybe...'' I replied
But..I don't feel that's why she didn't cry
"By the way, when will your sister's identity be announced?" asked Vela.
''if it's about that..'' ''vered said that the current situation is not good, it would be better not to announce rosalia's birth for now. For security reasons,'' I replied
"Is that so..." said Vela, who was trying to understand my current situation.
"So the news that the Marquess hasn't returned is true?" asked Luvino.
''Yes...''
"Dad still believes that mom was kidnapped somewhere. That's why he hasn't come back yet," I said.
Where is your father now? I also want to know.
''Mm..Blaze..Although your sister can't be introduced publicly yet. Can we go see her?'' asked Vela
''um?..yeah..i guess it's okay''i replied
***
Rosalia
What's this...
''so cute!!'' Vela exclaimed
''she's really cute...very different from Blaze,'' Luvino added.
???... who are they?. Blaze's friends?
( Correct..)
"Her hair is as white as snow. She's so beautiful," said Vela.
Name:Vela Crawford
Age: 7 years
third child of the Duke of Crawford
power: wind
mana level: 25
''She inherited your mother's genes, huh?. They really look alike,'' said Luvino.
Name:Luvino Fafnir
Age: 9 years
second childViscount Fafnir
power: darkness
mana level: 35
"That's how it is," replied Blaze.
These two were no ordinary people. One was the daughter of a duke, and the other the son of a viscount. Their levels were also quite high for their age.
*Um? Are they also the ones who will help Blaze in the future?*
(Yes.. the Crawford family is the biggest arms supplier in the Kingdom while the Fafnir family is a family that specializes in poison)
Scary.. the antagonist's friends in this world are not even playing around..
*But even the duke... does this kingdom condone all crimes? What a messed up world*
(actually, only in this Kingdom do things like that happen. Moreover, this is a small Kingdom that is closest to the dark continent)
*dark continent?..what is that?*
(to know that you have to reach a certain stage, after that new information can be opened)
*stingy*
(....)
"Nice to meet you, Rosalia. I'm Vela Crawford, just call me Vela," said Vela in a friendly manner.
"If I'm Luvino Fafnir, you can call me Vino," Luvino said.
.... Well.. they are all still kids so it doesn't seem as scary as the future.
''au..loalia..nice met u'' (I'm Rosalia, nice to meet you) I said
"Wow!!.. amazing, she can already talk," said Vela.
"She's already quite fluent in speaking. It's amazing. Even though she's only a year old," Luvino added, patting my head.
....Is this the effect of love cheating?..they immediately liked me
''Oh? Vela and Luvino came to visit?'' said Vered
"Sorry to bother you," said Luvino while bowing.
''bother Ver~!'' exclaimed Vela, who immediately hugged Vered.
"Vela..long time no see. Are you well?" asked Vered
"Um! I really miss you. Unlike my unreliable brother. I really miss you," said Vela, who didn't want to let go of her hug.
"Ahaha..is that so..is he healthy?" asked Vered
"Unfortunately. It would be better if he died," Vela replied, making an unhappy face.
"Vela, don't say that," said Vered, gently pinching Vela's nose
''In the end..he is really useless..''
What's the relationship with his brother that doesn't get along so well?
"I didn't think you guys would come, wait a minute, I'll make a cake first," said Vered then left the room.
"The cake was made by bigbro Vered... I haven't eaten it for a long time," said Luvino, who looked like he was already drooling.
''.....are they too noisy for you?'' asked Blaze
Eh?.. '' ng..'' I shook my head
''hee.. I thought you preferred a quiet atmosphere,'' replied Blaze
???..why does he think that?.
It's true that for some things I prefer being alone but...
''alo cali..'' (alone is scary) I said
Previously in my life, I was also alone... even though I don't like being the center of attention, it doesn't mean I like being alone... after all... if I'm alone... I feel like I'm falling into endless darkness.
''!?!...you..were you just about to cry?!'' exclaimed Blaze which immediately made me jump.
''eh?..no..'' I replied
''Liar! I saw you were about to cry''
''baze..wong" (blaze looks wrong)
"I didn't see it wrong, your eyes were really glassy earlier," said Blaze firmly.
''lia no klai''(lia doesn't cry)
"You're stubborn, aren't you?"
''baze mole tumbon''(blaze is more stubborn)
''huh!?..I don't_''
''Ahem! ..Blaze.. What are you doing?'' asked Vela who saw our little argument
"Eh? That... I saw this child was about to cry," replied Kak Blaze.
"Blaze, she's still a baby, how could such a small child be able to stop crying?" said Luvino
"But, I wasn't lying earlier... she... looked like she was in pain..." said Blaze while looking down.
!?!..
What..do I look like?
(interest points 10+)
*Eh?.. why did the interest points suddenly increase?*
(...)
No comment, really..

vered
''Young Master Vered'' called Sebastian
''um?..what's wrong?''
"Young master... there is a call from master"
''!?!..from father?''
Dad contacts me? Very rarely. What do you think is the problem?
"Okay. Please give this cake to Blaze and his friends," I said while giving them the cake I made and then going to my father's office.
I stepped into the room and saw a crystal ball shining on the table, indicating an incoming call.
"Dad, long time no see. How are you?" I said as I sat down on the chair.
''Me?..I'm fine. My younger siblings are also fine. Besides that, Lia has also grown quickly, she can already walk and talk a lot now_''
''eh?..dad is coming home?.!? What does that mean mom_''
...!?...''ah...is that so..okay...I'll prepare it...'' ''don't worry..I'll tell the kids...'' ''yes..be careful on your way home, okay..'' I said then ended the call
....mom..ugh..
"Is that so...well...I guessed it, but...ugh...damn..." I muttered while trying to hold back my tears.
***
Rosalia
"lady, what do you think about this dress?" asked a waitress with short brown hair (Anna).
"No, lady will definitely be more beautiful in this blue dress," said the maid with long gray hair (Marie).
''eh?..but the pink dress looks cuter'' Anna argued.
"What are you talking about? The blue dress is much sweeter on lady," said Marie.
... I don't care. Either way is fine for me.
These two servants are my personal servants and they are also assassins.
Another interesting fact I discovered recently. While I was playing with my friends, Kak Blaze, yesterday, I saw a rather suspicious maid. Although she tried to hide it, she had a knife hidden under her maid dress. And when I investigated, it turned out that all the maids and knights here were assassins. They were professionals. I could hardly believe I'd been surrounded by assassins all this time.
Plus, I'd almost been killed before. No wonder there wasn't a commotion. Apparently, it was because they were all used to such things.
The killer who tried to kill me also seemed to be one of the traitors who accepted the request because of the money offered.
In other words, as long as you have a lot of money, the workers here can become traitors if necessary.
"Okay, it's been decided on the blue dress!" said Marie, who won the debate with rock, paper, scissors.
"Ah... I lost..." said Anna, who immediately became weak.
After that they started to dress me up and after a while
''kyaaaa..cute!'' they both exclaimed in unison
"The blue color is also very suitable," said Anna.
"I told you, didn't I?" Marie said proudly.
"Okay, let's go, Miss. Your older brothers is waiting for breakfast," said Marie softly.
''um!'' I nodded then followed them to the dining table
***
"Oh, Lia! You've come. Come here," said Vered, who was already sitting in his chair.
I immediately ran to him and hugged him.
''oning..vel..'' (morning ver) I said while hugging him
"Good morning Lia," replied Vered while kissing my cheek and holding me in his arms.
"Did you sleep well, Lia?" asked Vered, to which I nodded in response.
''Good morning..'' said Blaze who had just entered the dining room.
"Morning Blaze. Did you sleep well?" asked Vered.
''Well... at least I slept longer than yesterday,'' Blaze replied and then immediately ate.
Um? Does Blaze have insomnia? Poor thing, even though he's still young.
''lady... let's eat,'' said Marie.
''um!'' I nodded then with Marie's help I sat at my baby's table and started eating my food.
Everything went well as usual until
''Blaze..dad will be home'' said Vered suddenly
''eh?.. REALLY!?.. when?. Dad found mom?'' asked Blaze with sparkling eyes
Eh?..already coming back? Isn't this too soon?..he should be back in 3 years, right?. Why is he back already?
''...about that... blaze..dad..go home alone'' said Vered while lowering his head
''eh?..'' ''why alone?'' asked Blaze
''....'' ''blaze...listen..mom.."
''!?!.."
.... Well.. I already suspected it, it was the same in the original story too.. I already knew that too. Mom...
"You must be joking," said Blaze, who still couldn't believe what he was hearing.
''Mom, it's impossible...''
''blaze..''
''YOU LIED TO ME!.MOM CAN'T BE DEAD!'' Blaze shouted then ran out of the dining room
''BLAZE!" "Young Master Blaze"
.... Well.. he must have been devastated by this reality. His father, who had gone to look for his mother, came back with the news that the person he was looking for had left this world.
Blaze...he must have always hoped that his mother would return. But reality was too cruel.
"Ah? lady?" said Marie, who saw me about to get down from my baby chair. Realizing my actions, Marie immediately put me down and after that, I intended to chase Blaze.
''Lia..'' called Vered who stopped me in my tracks
"Ah..that..please take care of Blaze for me," continued Vered while smiling helplessly.
.....what a strange request, I'm only one year old what do you expect from a baby like me?..but..
''um!'' I nodded then chased after Blaze
I'm also worried about that boy. After all, he's the one who always protects me. At least, even if it's only a small amount, I hope I can be his support now.
***
Even though I say that..
In fact, I don't know where he ran off to.
He runs really fast. Plus this house is also big, he could be anywhere.
*Is it possible that he went back to his room? Children usually do that, right? Besides, he's still a kid* I thought until I accidentally saw footprints leading to the garden
...this foot size..
*there's no mistaking this is Blaze.* I thought as I looked at where the footprints were leading.
Did he go into the forest? Uwah.. of all places, why did he go there? There might still be killer rabbits there. After that experience, I don't want to go there again, to be honest.
.... *huft.. what a troublesome older brother* I thought to myself then followed his footsteps towards the forest.
I hope I don't run into that rabbit again. Besides, I don't have any weapons with me. Although, I should be relieved now because I'm sure Marie and Anna must be following me quietly behind.
''sob..sob..''
Um?..sobs?...he's nearby
I tried to shift my gaze all over the place until I found Blaze crying on a tree.
...*you must be joking...of all places why does it have to be up a tree?.there's no way I can climb up there*my heart was restless
''baze!..baze!'' I shouted trying to call him
At least if I can't get up, I'll make him get down.
''baze..baze''
''ugh...LEAVE ME ALONE!'' he shouted
... he really doesn't want to get off like this
Sigh..I guess I have no choice but to wait for it to come down on its own.
I decided to sit under a tree while waiting for Blaze to calm down up there. The white snow still adorning the forest made my body a little cold.
I took a twig that was near me and started drawing on the snow while waiting for the blaze. And after a few minutes...
"Do you remember what mother looked like?" asked Blaze from the tree.
... how could I possibly remember. I never even saw it in person and only read about it through the description given by AI
''no.'' I replied
''I see...'' ''Mother is very beautiful... her hair is as white as snow with blue eyes that are like sapphires. She is truly a very charming woman,'' said Blaze.
mm.. I think I can imagine it. Well.. after all she gave birth to a son as handsome as Blaze and Vered who has a beautiful face even though he is a man. then... Rosalia who is so charming. I can imagine how beautiful she is..
''You really look like our mother,'' he continued.
''mm..''
Yes, I guessed. Rosalia's beautiful face was indeed inherited from her mother.
"I miss her... I want to meet her again," he said while looking down up there.
.... ''baze... sad cant met mama ,ia sad cant see mama'' (blaze is sad because he can't meet mom again. while lia is sad because can't see mom) I said which immediately made blaze jump and finally look at me
"Mama..antik aya lia?...lia uga au iat..api lia nda ica iat" (Mama is beautiful like Lia?. Lia also wants to see... but Lia can't see) I said while trying to draw Mama on the snow even though of course it was more like a stick figure
Blaze..I don't want to compare your feelings with mine. You know him better. The pain of being left by someone close to you is certainly incomparable. But... I've never met him, to me he's nothing more than a stranger. Right now I can't say I understand your feelings. Sorry, Blaze.
*syut!
!?!
Suddenly, Blaze jumped down from the tree and hugged me tightly. His body was shaking as he held back his tears. But he didn't say anything, just hugged me tightly.
.... *But one thing is certain..there is no child who is not sad when their parents die* I thought while returning Blaze's hug
***
''hachim!''
''um?.. sorry I kept you here too long. You must be cold'' said blaze while putting on his coat.
"Go in first. I'll be right there," he continued.
''um'' I nodded ''baze..uga asuk.anti atit..'' (blaze also go in, it will hurt) I said
"Yes... I'll be in soon too," Blaze replied with a gentle smile and stroked my head.
I think he'll be fine now.
So I decided to go back inside first. I was already cold anyway.
I also intend to go back in until
''!?!..anna..malie!?'' I exclaimed as I saw my two servants lying on the snow with scars.
!?!..what happened?.were they attacked?...anna and marie are pro assassins. They can't possibly lose that easily..then who attacked them?.don't tell me there's another traitor?...
!?!..wait..then what about blaze!?
I hurriedly ran as fast as I could towards Blaze's place and as soon as I arrived I was shocked by Blaze's condition who was also lying in the snow with his body battered.
!?!..blaze also lost..you must be kidding me...who did this...don't tell me...his level is higher than blaze?!
*THUMP!!
I felt a hard blow hit me in the back of the head. For a moment, my head felt like it was spinning, and then I fell to the ground.
My vision started to get blurry and even though I could vaguely see there were several people in robes carrying blazers.
...kidnapping?..
***
Ugh..my head feels like it's spinning.
*so mean. I'm only one year old, I could have brain damage from being hit too hard* I thought to myself while rubbing the back of my head
But..where is this?..um?..
From the looks of it, this looks like a dungeon, right? Like in most movies...
Um?..!?!..*BLAZE!*
I saw Blaze lying near me with chains on his legs and arms too.
*what is this?. A restraint collar?*
(it's a magic tool to suppress magic. Usually used on slaves who have magic so they can't use their power)
Ah..is that so..Blaze, who has extraordinary powers, can definitely escape easily if he isn't held back like this.
*but.. there's not a single chain or tool on me* I thought while checking my whole body
(I think they think there's no need to do that to master. Because master is still a baby)
Oh, I see...
Well...if a baby were normal at this time, they would just cry without being able to do anything.
*Cruel..they beat my brother so badly* I thought while looking at Blaze's condition and I found something near his neck
*This..*
(drug residue) (I think they drugged Blaze to calm him down)
*they even did something like that to catch my brother. Like trying to catch a wild animal*
On the other hand they didn't do anything to me and just took me away..what was their purpose actually?
*but I also can't do anything because I'm locked up_* I thought as I approached the iron bars but suddenly I just slipped through
''eh???''
Seriously.. I can get through???
How small is this body?!.. no.. maybe the bars are too wide apart.um!. must be because of that..
*But if this is the case, there's no point in me being locked up. Besides, I can escape very easily.*
(but no one year old would think that)
*Correct.*
.... *first of all let's find a way to free blaze*
(Aren't you afraid, master? Maybe there's a guard)
*even so, I don't have much of a choice. If I just stay silent, something bad might happen to us*
Besides, mother's funeral and father's return will be held soon. I can't make Brother Vered have more work by looking for us.
Even so, I'm curious about their purpose.. if they only want to capture Blaze, why bring me too? Besides, who could do this? Blaze is no ordinary child. He is very good at fighting. Even though he was shaken by his mother's death, that shouldn't have weakened him. Besides, he also infiltrated Florin's residence and easily paralyzed two of my servants.
He could be a very strong person or... a traitor who was once a very trusted person..
"According to the agreement, I brought young master Blaze"
!?!...is that it?
I stepped forward trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. And when I peeked a little, I saw a muscular man in the florin family knight's uniform, a brown-haired man in noble attire, and several other criminals gathered in one place.
Is that person the traitor...
*is he strong?*
(That person is Kelvin. Blaze sword teacher, mana level 35, water power)
Swordsman?..no wonder blaze was caught..but his mana level is lower than blaze's..
(mana level only affects how good you are at using magic, but it will not affect your sword skills)
In other words, if the sword level is higher, can someone with a high mana level still lose?
*then?.that man who looks like a noble?*
(the prime minister of this Kingdom, Nicolas, he is also the current king's accomplice)
!?!..prime minister!?
I see... so he was ordered by the king... that means the king has already started to take action to get rid of my family... starting with Blaze...
"Good job. I'll pay you the promised money. So how are you going to handle Blaze's disappearance?" Nicolas asked.
"Don't worry about that, everyone knows that Young Master Blaze is furious because of his mother's death, it's no surprise that he ran away from home, from there, rumors will definitely spread that Young Master ran away and died while running away," replied Kelvin.
"What about the servants? If not, one or two of the female servants who followed him," asked Nicolas.
''I've asked my men to clean it up. they won't remember anything either. "People will also think that Young Master Blaze did it because of his rude nature," replied Kelvin
...ugh..the two maids you attacked were my maids, damn it..but that's how it is. He's using Brother Blaze's personality to cover up this kidnapping case. But one thing I don't understand...
What about me?
''Hmm.. that's good... then. I saw you brought a little girl too earlier,'' said Nicolas.
"Ah... that child, I don't know her either, maybe she's the daughter of one of the servants. she has a pretty face even though she's still a baby. I intend to sell her," replied Kelvin.
Waitress!?!... I'm wearing a dress this nice you call me a waiter?.are you blind??..no he's probably just an idiot.
But one thing I can be sure of My existence in the Florin family is still a secret. Even Brother Blaze's swordmaster doesn't know who I am.
*Is this the system's doing?*
(to minimize your origins in the future, information about you is provided as little as possible)
Heee.... I think I can make use of this..
"Do as you wish. Besides, I already got what I wanted," said Nicolas.
"Okay... then what will you do to Young Master Blaze?" Kelvin asked
"What else? I will make the most of him. That child will grow into a killing machine in the future. I will train him to be an obedient dog, of course I have to brainwash him first for that," replied Nicolas.
.... Stress.. listening to them talk any further will make my head hurt. I better find the key_
"I see... then about the marchioness' death... does it have anything to do with you too?"
!?!!!..
''um?..I don't know..anyway, that family will be finished soon too? *smirk.. his death won't change anything. Just think of him as going first and his other family members will follow later'' he said with a satisfied smile
...just now..what did he say?...mother's death...ugh..
My blood boiled hearing that...how dare he.
(master you can't stay here any longer. remember you are the protagonist, you can't get involved_)
*that's right..I'm the protagonist..*
(?!!?)
I knew my family would be slaughtered in the future to clear my name, born into a criminal family. But... seeing my family's killers scurrying around like rats in the house, waiting for their slaughter made me sick.
How dare they do that..even though they still feel like strangers to me, they are my family now.
*those bastards...I will destroy them so they don't dare to come to the surface again*
(???..master is not the words of a protagonist)
Protagonist huh..hmph..
*don't worry AI...I'll do it in the gentlest way that protagonists usually do* I thought with a gentle smile
Just wait.. *SMIRK
***
(master...master.. what are you doing now?)
*Don't you know even if you look? I'm looking for the key. If this continues, Blaze could be in danger*
(even though you say that, you've just been going around in circles)
*it's not my fault if I get lost right?. I'm also trying to find the key*
(Aren't the keys usually carried by the prison guards? If you go back you might find a guard or two)
*regarding that...*
*I'm totally lost*
(...)
*don't just stay silent. Do something! Help me find a way out of here!*
Ugh..this is really annoying, I actually got lost and it smells of oil here. It makes me nauseous.
"Hey!..it's bad!. The little girl who was locked up downstairs is missing!" shouted one of the guards, which made me immediately hide.
"What?! Quickly find her. she can't have gone far."
Ehehe....as soon as I said that, I immediately found the way.
Oh!..that, isn't the key in that guy's pocket?. I just have to take it from him...
But how?..mm..
Should I gamble with the protagonist's body again? No, that's too risky. It's not that I'm afraid of dying, but if I get caught and taken away, I won't have a chance to help Blaze.
Then how do I take it?..
(Do you want to use your protagonist's abilities?)
*??? Protagonist's abilities?*
(protagonist's ability)
???..what ability are you talking about?.the only skill I have right now isn't just love_!?!..
Wait..that skill..love cheat..don't tell me..I can use it at a time like this?..
I don't really like this skill, but since it's a passive skill, it means it will activate automatically... ah.. no, even in games, passive skills definitely have conditions for being activated. But what are the conditions...
!?!... Do not tell...
''Damn, where is that kid? How did she escape?'' said one of the guards who looked annoyed.
''kyaa...oh?..woah..hello..'' I said, suddenly appearing between them
"!?!...that kid.'' ''suddenly appeared. ehe..good kid. That's right, she's still a baby after all,'' said one of the guards while trying to approach me.
''Come here girl, we won't hurt you.'' he said while asking me to come towards him and of course
''kyaaa..'' I immediately ran towards him while hugging him tightly and then gave him a sweet smile.
''!!?''
''aman..e angkep..''(uncle caught)
''eh?..ah..yeah...'' said the guard who seemed shocked by my behavior.
''SHE'S SO CUTE!!'' the guard thought to himself.
''she looks so much like my daughter...really cute'' thought the guard as he gently carried me in his arms.
"Hey, what are you doing? If you've caught her, quickly take her back to prison," said one of his colleagues.
"STUPID! HOW COULD YOU TAKE SUCH A SWEET GIRL TO JAIL!" he exclaimed.
''huh?..''
"Look at her... she was even able to get out easily before, wasn't she? Rather than putting her back in prison, it's better if we keep her in another room," he said.
''what you said is stupid, she is _''
"Lia..I don't like it thele..it's dark thele." I said with a pitiful face.
''!!!?"
***
Uwah.. the love cheat skill is really scary... in an instant the villains went crazy over me. This is the power of the protagonist.. amazing
Thanks to this skill, I can now sit comfortably on my bed with delicious biscuits. But of course, I haven't forgotten my original goal.
''tadaaa'' I said while taking out the key I got while they were busy admiring my excitement
With this I can cast blaze.
Now I just need to find a way out of here.
(other than that master.. how do you know the conditions for this skill to be active?)
*um?..ah..maybe because I've watched and read several manga where the protagonist uses this skill without realizing it*
*but who would have thought I was right*
The prerequisite for this skill to activate is innocence and naivety. To utilize that, words are also needed. In other words, as long as I can use words that can win over others, this skill will activate automatically.
.....then brother Vered who loved me even before I knew this skill..is it possible..he really loves me sincerely?..
No...no...don't get your hopes up. The way to win someone's heart varies...it's possible that a simple act and the innocence of a baby can activate this skill.
That's right... don't expect too much to be loved...
Yosh! . don't think about that yet. Now let's get out of here and free Blaze. If Blaze is taken away and brainwashed, it will be a problem.
Eto.. I can't go out of the door because there must be a guard then...
''oh?..'' that's not ventilation..
Slowly I moved my little feet closer to the ventilation.
This might work. Rosalia's little body might fit in. But where this ventilation takes me is up to me too.
*ugh..what am I afraid of? I'm the main character, and I'll definitely end up at Blaze's place in the end. I just have to take advantage of the protagonist's luck*
(You are so confident now huh)
*one thing I can guarantee. My luck has never run out so far*
***
Since it had been decided, I escaped through the ventilation. It was quite complicated because it branched out, but with luck, I hoped I would arrive at my destination. Blaze...well, that's what I was hoping for.
*..damn...*
Forget about going to Blaze's place, I ended up in a meat slaughterhouse. Although I don't know why a place like this exists, this place is very scary.
*hup.. there's no one here... and there's also a lot of freshly cut ivory. Is this animal meat?
I decided to look around until
''hic!!'' feet!?.. I found human leg fragments and several other organs instead. Of course, that made me nauseous.
This place isn't a slaughterhouse. They slaughter humans too... illegal trade in human flesh.
How rotten are they that they sell the meat of their own species..
*disgusting..*
*crack..
HIK!?. What is that?..the sound of bones breaking?...
It came from the cage there..don't tell me there are wild animals there?..
*gulp... I better go soon...
"Is it time?" said the voice from the bars.
Eh?...voice?..is that human?...
I carefully tried to approach the bars and how surprised I was to see what was inside there.
!?!...
A boy with black hair and glowing red eyes and then..tail and ears..!?!..
"welewolf" I said as soon as I saw the child who was locked up there
***
Blaze
Ugh...my head hurts. What happened?.. if I'm not mistaken I met Mr. Kelvin, after that...ugh... I don't remember anything anymore..
And again
"What's with this chain?" I muttered while looking at the chain that bound me.
Kidnapping?..hee.. it turns out there are still stupid people trying to catch me.
''They think they can hold me back with just this,'' I said then tried to use my magic but
!?!...can't?..I can't use magic?.why?
"Ah! Is it because of this necklace?" I said while holding the necklace around my neck.
Those bastards even bought a device to restrain a high-level mage just to restrain me. Which noble family hired them...
"You're awake," said one of the criminals in front of my cell.
''he..so you're the bastard who kidnapped me. You have big guts too, but you think_''
"Don't talk too much. You should be aware of your current position," he interrupted.
*smirk.." after this you won't even be able to be as arrogant as now'' he said with an arrogant face
''Hey..quickly give me the key and we'll finish this immediately,'' he said.
''er..sir..sorry..but we lost the key''
"Huh?!"
Huh???. they lost the key to this prison?. how stupid are they?''LOST YOUR WORDS!?. HOW COULD THEY BE LOST!?'' he exclaimed angrily
''about that..we are looking for it now..''
"You STUPID! HURRY BRING THE SPARE KEY!"
''Pfft.. you can't even keep the key. You guys are really idiots,'' I teased.
*BRAK!.. ''SHUT UP YOU BOY. AFTER WE FIND THE KEY. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO LAUGH LIKE NOW'' he shouted then left the prison with an annoyed face
"Yes..yes..just look for it slowly." I replied casually.
Sigh... for the time being I think I'm safe from whatever they're planning. But... how could a criminal lose the prison key? How stupid are they?

Rosalia
''welewolf (werewolf)'' I said
Wow! This is my first time seeing one. A real werewolf... so cute. Its fur looks a bit shaggy but still soft. I want to hold it.
''um?...baby?..what insult is this?.my executioner is a baby?'' he said
Eh? ''Excekutol?'' I asked
"What did I do wrong? Didn't you come here to cut me up like the meat there?" he asked.
''HUH!?!''
How could I do that! Is he an idiot? I'm still a baby! I've never even held a knife. And he even thought I was going to kill him.
''although I'm quite curious how you do it with that small body'' he said while looking at me sharply
...I won't do it. I don't want to do it either..
"Lia won't do that!" I exclaimed.
''lia?''
Ah.. bad I shouldn't be dealing with him right now. I have to go to Brother Blaze's place. Besides, he's a werewolf, right? There's no guarantee he won't kill me if I help him. For now, it's best not to risk approaching him. Besides, he could be a villain. Sorry, but I'm not a naive protagonist who will help anyone he meets.
Let's go ...
"It's none of your business," I said, then I intended to leave.
(NEW MISSION!)
*huh!?. At a time like this?!*
(free the caged dog)
(success reward: candy.)
(Failure: penalty)
*Huh!?.. what is this!. *
Since I came to this world, I've never received a single mission. And now the first mission I get after coming here is to free this dog? Seriously?
*plus the prize is only candy and if you fail there's a penalty. Why is this so unbalanced!!*
*do i really have to do this?*
(yes, you can't refuse the mission that has been given)
*tsk..*
''ok... acan ku lacukan!'' (ok, i'll do it) i exclaimed
Just free him right? it's easy i just need to unlock it...
..... where is the key...
AAAGH.. DON'T TELL ME I HAVE TO FIND THE KEY FIRST!!
''???... what have you been doing all this time?. you're not going?'' he asked.
"Lia..acan pelgi engan mu" (Lia will go with you) I said while approaching her
''huh?..why?.''
"Umm...after all, if you stay here you will die," I said.
Actually, this is because the system told me to. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to do it either.
''Huh?..did you just pity me kid?'' he asked sounding annoyed.
"I don't need that. Go away!" he shouted.
.... he is really stubborn. Even though if he stays here he will die too
Better finish this mission quickly and go to Kak Blaze's place
I decided to ignore it and went looking for the key all over the room.
"You really don't listen to me huh? Go away and don't pay attention to me," he said, still babbling on.
... ''camu ,lebih suca maci dicini ,dali pada celual?'' (you prefer here than going out?) I asked
"Yes, besides, there's nothing I can get if I leave here. Rather than dying slowly outside, it's better to die quickly here," he said.
.... it turns out he had no purpose. it's true that letting him die here might not be a bad choice. After all, it was his decision.
"If that's your decision, Lia, it's no problem," I said as I approached her and opened her cage with the key I found.
''Your life is yours, do whatever you like''(your life is yours, do as you please) I continued while opening it
Well, this should be enough.
"That's all right. Bye..bye," I said and immediately ran away from there. Besides, I didn't want to waste any more time here.
*greb!..''wait'' he said suddenly holding my hand
???..what does he want to do?. I just opened his cage. Whether he wants to go out or stay here is his own decision. I don't care
''You.. how old are you?'' he asked
''um?... two " (2 years old)
''Don't lie! How could you be two years old?''
Ah... yes.. yes..
''ok..ok..catu cahun cetengah (1,5 years old'' I said
''WHY IS IT SMALLER!? Are you playing with me?!'' he exclaimed in annoyance.
''lia nda liar..lia benyelan catu cathun cetengah'' (lia is not lying, lia is really one and a half years old) I said
"Huh?...seriously...how can a one year old child talk like that?" he said in disbelief.
Ugh..if that's true too..it's bad I should have just kept quiet more...
*pats.. ''lia cibuk cekalang. Agan anggu lia'' (lia is busy now, don't bother lia) I said while pushing away her hand and then leaving her
This should be enough, right? Please don't hold a grudge against me.
***
''...it's impossible that the child is only one year old, right?...talking like that doesn't sound like a one year old child,'' said the werewolf while looking at Rosalia's figure moving away.
''... what is that kid actually doing?''
***
Blaze..blaze... where are you..how big is this place actually...
''oh!.. finally'' I said as I finally found the dungeon.
I quickly looked for Blaze's whereabouts until
''!?!..Lia?'' Blaze called, which immediately made me turn around and approach her.
''baze!'' I exclaimed happily
Finally I found you. Finally..my feet are so sore from walking around this place
"Why are you here? Are you alone?" he asked.
''ehehe..baze..uci..''(blaze key) I said while showing the cell key to blaze
"You took that!? How could that be? He asked.
''ehehe..lia is cool'' I replied
"Don't get too big-headed, you kid," said Blaze with a small smile and then ruffled my hair.
"You are really reckless," he said then opened the cell door.
"What if you get hurt?" he asked while rubbing my head until
''!?!..wait are you really hurt?'' he said when he saw that there was a mark of a blow on my head earlier
''Ah..um.. Lia was hit too..then brought here like Blaze'' (Earlier Lia was also hit and then brought here just like Blaze) I said
After he said that I feel pain in my head now
''ugh!..that bastard...'' said Balze annoyed then suddenly carried me
"My chains still can't be removed. It'll be hard to fight like this. Especially since this necklace is holding back my magic. First, let's escape from here," said Blaze, to which I nodded.
Yes, everything should be fine after this, right? Blaze is strong, I'm sure everything will be safe...
''um?..strange..it's too quiet here. Are they really that stupid?'' said Blaze
Um?..that's true..after what happened, there's no way they would be that stupid to leave the prison, right?.especially since I've also disappeared..where are they actually_
''!?!..Lia don't look!'' exclaimed Kak Blaze who suddenly covered my eyes.
Eh?...eh?..what?? what happened??
!?!..this smell..this pungent fishy aroma..there's no mistaking it..this..the smell of blood
Moreover, the smell was very pungent..even though I didn't see it, I could guess...someone died, especially since there were a lot of them..were all the criminals dead?..but how could that be?
''The wound... there's no doubt it was an attack by a wild animal,'' said Blaze.
Wild animals? Did some animal get loose and kill them all?
''This place is dangerous.. Lia, listen, whatever happens, don't open your eyes. Understand?'' said Blaze.
''um!'' I nodded
Well... even without opening my eyes I can know what's happening...
But how can that be?..I'm absolutely sure there hasn't been any sound of unrest since I've been wandering around..if so when_
*GROOOAAR!
!?!..roar!?
''ha..so that's the monster..no wonder they died...'' said blaze
''minotaur's opponent''
!?! *Minotaur!*
Hearing that, I immediately opened my eyes and saw a terrifying figure with a very large body with an axe covered in blood after slaughtering everyone.
!!!?...IT'S REALLY A MINOTAUR!!!
*GOOOAAAR!!!!
