25 – Sahyun’s viewpoint-6
I bought all of Ari’s clothes, but the shopping wasn’t over.
Ari and the young lady started to buy various snacks while wandering around the dark area.
“Arya ah~ try it.”
“Ah~”
What the lady is feeding Ari is a food called takoyaki. Before the cataclysm, it was made from a marine creature called an octopus, but now it is said that it is made from the meat of a monster that tastes the most similar.
“Is it delicious?”
“Yeah, it’s delicious.”
Ari looked at me for a moment, as if he wanted to give it to me too, but I tried to avoid his gaze. There’s no way a lady would give me something like that.
As I wandered around, an hour had already passed since I was outside.
Just when I thought I might have to go back, I heard an explosion in the distance.
-bang!!!
The earth vibrated and screams rang out.
“Wh… what is it?”
It was near the plaza that the explosion sounded.
“Let’s drive out the queen!”
Cries to drive out the queen echoed throughout the streets of the underworld.
‘Did everyone go mad as a group?’
drive out the queen? how?
Are you really thinking that it’s possible and doing it?
“M…. What is it really. Are you kidding?”
When I looked at the lady, she was crying and trembling.
“Brother, I’m scared.”
Ari seemed to be very scared and came close to me.
“Let’s avoid it for now, lady!”
“I hate… I hate war.”
Has this young lady suffered some kind of trauma? I was sitting in my seat and talking, so I grabbed my wrist and ran.
I was so contemptuous that I was definitely not in a normal state, so even when I pulled my wrist, there was no resistance.
With Ari hanging from my body and holding the lady’s wrist in my left hand, I moved to a suitable place I knew.
Buildings are arranged close by, so unless you are a child, you can barely pass through an alleyway. Even the buildings are private houses, not shopping malls.
Just when I thought I had run away to some extent, I stopped.
“Brother, is it safe here?”
“maybe.”
After all, no matter how strong she became, Ari was still Ari. As I was gently stroking the trembling Ari, I saw a girl sitting on the floor, trembling.
“I hate war… I hate war…”

Normally, he was just a scary being, but sitting there trembling like that made him look a little sad.
“Are you okay, miss?”
“I hate war… I hate war.”

No reaction. It seems like a safe place for now, so if you wait, this commotion will soon subside.
“Did you really see it?”
“Did you see me going here? It must have been the same hair as the queen.”
I was horrified and goosebumps at the sound of a voice coming from a nearby street.
I wished they would go the other way, but the footsteps of the two slowly drew closer.
“I think the rumor that the queen has a younger sister is true? I don’t know if there will be a sequel, so let’s catch it and kill it.”
“Arya.”
“Why, brother?”
“Take the lady and run back.”
“brother is?”
“If the opponent is not an Awakener, I will follow.”
You can’t expect fighting skills from a panicked lady, but Ari is a little scared, but she should be able to fight.
If it’s a non-awakened opponent, Ahri will be able to handle it enough.
“Miss? Can you hear me?”
“I hate war… I hate war…”
To be honest, when I remembered what he had done to me, I just wanted to throw it away, but I was afraid of the queen’s aftermath, and I couldn’t leave it as it was because I thought he was younger than me.
I grabbed her by the cheek and lifted her up to make her look into my eyes.
“I know war is bad and I know I hate it. I have to run away first. Get up.”
“Oh… Uh-uh.”
I picked up the young lady and entrusted her to Ari.
“Aren’t those little boys?”
The men who appeared in the alley on the other side did not seem to be non-awakened people. Having only been with Awoken people for the past 3 days, I was able to tell if there was mana or not, but they were definitely people with mana.
“Does it seem right?”
I went forward with the mindset that I would take my time.
Honestly, I don’t know why I, the weakest among the three, stepped forward. Was it because he wanted to protect his brother? Or was it that he just wanted to die?
“What is this kid?”
I closed my eyes tight as I saw the man’s fist approaching, but there was no impact on me.
“Kid, are you more courageous than you thought?”
When I slightly opened my eyes, Hayeoni noona was in front of me, and there was no trace of the men anywhere.
If I was attacked by my sister, I would have to do something, whether it be blood or a corpse, but there really was nothing.
“Ari, you should think of protecting your brother. What if you hide? And if your brother told you to run away, you should have run away properly.”
Seeing Ha-yeon scolding Ari, she sat down in her seat, feeling relaxed.
`lived.`
I thought it was a bit unfortunate, but it must have been because all three of them survived.
Ari looked fine, and the lady looked fine, except for the fact that she was looking at me with some kind of hazy eyes.
***
“Ah do!”
“Uh… ah…”
‘I’m slowly getting full. Miss.`
My stomach, which is just the right amount of bread, can’t hold this much food.
The day after she went out to buy clothes and was swept away by the rebellion, she couldn’t adapt to the 180-degree change from yesterday.
He treated me so kindly as if he had gone where he had beaten and harassed me until now.
“uuu, eat mine too brother!”
“J… that Ari, oppa is full…”
“You’re saying you’ll take Ga-yeon’s and not mine?”
He had no choice but to accept what Ari offered him.
I sent an SOS signal to my sister and brother, but both of them were just looking at us with happy faces.
Even the queen, who usually looked at me pathetically, had a happy expression on her face, so there was nowhere to ask for help.
In the end, I cleaned up the tableware and took it to the sink to wash the dishes.
“Brother, I’ll help you!”
“me too!”
Ari, who had been begging me to play with me two days before washing the dishes, has grown up in two days.
The lady who kicked me to do the dishes quickly because I had to go out yesterday came forward to help me in one day.
what? Is this heaven? Actually I died yesterday and am I in heaven now?
“Staying still helps.”
Honestly, if I left the dishes to these two, I felt like I would break the plate in an instant.
Even if it was the kids who broke the dishes, I was the one who couldn’t take care of them, so I’m probably getting scolded. I didn’t want to see something like that, so I finished washing the dishes by myself.
“Can I go shopping for clothes?”
“Okay, go.”
After buying yesterday’s clothes, I went to buy clothes again today, I bought Ari’s clothes yesterday, so I’m going to buy clothes for the lady.
I went back to the place where I bought my clothes yesterday.
Even though there was such a fuss yesterday, seeing that the business started right away today, I thought that a big store would be different.
Like yesterday, I was waiting outside the building when the lady called me.
“You come in too!”
“Yes?”

No matter how you look at it, it was an unsuitable place for a slave like me, but the lady asked me to come in, and the slave had to follow what she said.
There were numerous clothes on display in the store, but the lady headed to the place where children’s clothes were gathered without any hesitation.
Seeing that she focused on pants and T-shirts, I realized that all the clothes Yeji bought yesterday were only skirts and dresses.
‘You’re here to buy some pants.’
The lady picked out some clothes and held them out to me.
“Go to the locker room and change.”
“… Yes?”
“Don’t be foolish, change and come!”
The lady was angry, so I quickly ran and changed.
Surely expensive clothes are good, but the skin is not chafed and it is easy to move.
Considering that the cost of this one piece of clothing was equal to the cost of living for a few months while on the street, it was a shame as expected.
“I wore it.”
Is it that strange? Well, a kid like me would only feel awkward wearing nice clothes.
Both the lady and Ari don’t say anything and just roll their eyes here and there, it seems very awkward.
“Isn’t it awkward? I’ll just change and come back.”
“No! It suits you very well!”
“That’s right oppa, it’s cute!”
Both are very bad at lying. It’s awkward to say it hard while blushing, but it only seems to be partly a lie.
“Okay. I’ll wear it even if it doesn’t suit you, so there’s no need to force compliments.”
“It’s really cute…”
“Right, it suits you well.”
does it fit really well? I was a little excited.
“Try this on and this too.”
“This too!”
Dressing up I put on and took off various clothes as if I were a doll.
In the end, I ended up buying more than 10 sets of clothes, but unlike Ari, who ended up with one paper bag, only three bags came out.
“I’ll lift it! I should lift it rather than my brother who is weak.”
what? Was I stronger yesterday?
I couldn’t adapt well to the changed atmosphere in one day, but I thought good things were good. After all, giving for me like this is ten million times better than being beaten and bullied every day.
