The elegant and melodious sound of the harp resounds in this bustling city.

The music that people in this era have never heard has attracted many noble ladies. They quietly opened the door or lifted the car curtain, revealing a little gap where the player can be seen clearly, and were attracted by the distinctive piano sound and Girls attracted by singing voice are very curious about who is such a talented person.

It was a boy who seemed to be about the same age as their younger brother, with the usual samurai head or casually tied hairstyle, the boy's neat short black hair and a braid braided with longer hair at the temples.This novel hairstyle, which had never been seen before, made the noble ladies even more convinced that the other party came from other cities.

He must be a well-informed traveler, so the onlookers guessed.

Perhaps some of the castellan's brilliant scribes happened to travel to us.Nearby samurai sat in the shop discussing in whispers.

Otherwise, how could he sing so many wonderful lyrics and show the audience a lifelike scene with his own singing voice.

"What are you singing today, boy." A listener who couldn't wait put his money into the boy's hat that he put on as a reward, "I haven't heard the end of the story last time."

The boy stopped humming casually, and he thanked the other party for his generosity with a smile. Regarding the unfinished story told by the audience, he replied, "I'm sorry, I haven't figured out the ending yet, but there is another angle. s story."

As soon as there were novel and fantasy stories to listen to, the onlookers took out a lot of money one after another, and those who could not afford it used wild fruits in their hands as expenses. The lady at the door also asked the servants to offer money and delicious fruits. .It seems that the young man who has been selling and singing in the city for a few days has attracted many loyal listeners with his singing voice and lyrics, and has laid a foundation here.

"Thank you for your support." The boy plucked the harp in his hand after thanking him as usual.

The story he was about to tell came from a small country far away.

The ruler of a small country works hard, seeks the well-being of his people, manages the people's livelihood, and prays for the prosperity of his country and the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

But his country is too small and too fragile. Surrounded by great powers in the distance, he is like a boat in a storm on the sea. If he doesn't pay attention, he will capsize and die.

It coincided with a catastrophe, when there was no rain, the seedling fields declined, and the people suffered from famine and no crops.

The continuous cries of the civilians were transmitted to the bustling Lord's Mansion, and the urgent battle report on the border was written into official documents, disturbing the mind of the Lord.

What should he do?What can he do to save his people?

The ruler of the country with limited ability was not willing to be defeated, he looked towards the evil temple on the mountain, and an idea appeared in his mind.

If the gods can't save him, and he is surrounded by enemies, he will turn to ghosts and gods for help.

Respected and great ghosts and gods, I am willing to sacrifice everything I have, as long as my country prospers.

Respected and great ghosts and gods, please take away what you like from me, and bless my transition to be strong and inviolable.

Respected and great ghosts and gods, please let me realize my great wish to be famous all over the world.

The ghosts and gods promised the city lord, and they took away the newborn son of the city lord, and ate the child as a meal.

The last remaining skeletons were randomly discarded.

Unbeknownst to ghosts and gods, the desire to survive kept the child alive.

In an unknown village, little children grow up gradually...

"If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next episode." The young man stuck out his tongue playfully, and explained with a smile amidst the raised fists of the audience, "Actually, I haven't figured out the next story yet, let me think about it." Alright, let's finish the rest."

The more sentimental noble ladies wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs, and felt sorry for the child who suffered misfortune in the story. They asked the servants to send more money to try to leave a happy ending for the child.The samurai who think more about the actions of the city lord are arguing endlessly. Some of them approve of the other party's cruel actions for the purpose, while others disagree with relying on external forces to maintain the stability of the country.

The sharper samurai asked the boy who was sitting cross-legged on the ground eating wild fruits, "Hey, is this just a story? Didn't you bring in any city lords?"

Well?

The young man raised his head in confusion. While eating the wild fruit, his mouth was stained with the sweet and greasy juice of the wild fruit. He chewed the wild fruit in his mouth and looked back frankly, "What city owner? Of course it's a story, I Just an ordinary person, how can he get in touch with those city lords and big men? Ah...you don’t take it seriously, it’s just a story~”

Just a true story that happened.

"Ah, it's already noon, I'm ready to go!" The young man patted the dust in his hands and jumped up from the ground. He picked up his money hat and hugged the wild fruit that fell on the ground into his arms. Waved his hand and said goodbye to the audience who had listened to his whole story, "See you next time."

The audience was reluctant to let go of the boy who was about to leave, to be precise, the unfinished story, "Then when will you come back and tell the next part, we are all waiting to hear the ending."

"Maybe when I collect new inspiration?" The boy didn't know whether he would return to the city where he temporarily stopped during his travels next time, and he didn't make a promise easily.After saying goodbye, the boy hummed a cheerful song and came outside the town, surrounded by an empty and silent forest. He opened his collar so that the little elf hiding inside could poke his head out.

The wind elf hadn't learned how to fly yet, so he climbed onto the apron with a grunt, sat on the dark brown fabric and raised his short hand to greet the boy.

"Wendy, are you hungry? I have some wild fruits here to eat." The boy cut the wild fruits into small pieces with the knife he carried with him, and fed them to the little elves one by one. "This time we have saved enough travel expenses. You can take a city to see."

Ow.

The wind elf, who opened his mouth wide and ate the wild fruit piece, touched his round belly, shook his head and refused the boy's continued feeding, the weight of one wild fruit was enough for the wind elf, he really couldn't eat the delicious wild fruit !

The wind elf who was shaking his head accidentally dropped his apron, and made intimate contact with the boy's bony shoulders, knocking his head until he was dizzy.

I can't remember the last time I spent such a leisurely time together. The young man felt happy for this long-lost relaxing time. He rubbed the head of the wind elf who had slumped on his shoulder for a long time, and teased the other party, "Why are you so I have learned how to fly for a long time, if I don't catch it next time I fall, Wendy will become a wind elf cake."

The wind elf, who has spent a lot of time but still has 0 progress, drooped the two stupid hairs on the top of his head amidst the boy's jokes, and the whole elf sat there with his head drooping weakly.

At first glance, it is the kind that can't be coaxed well if you don't take a few wild fruits.

Reluctantly, the boy took out another wild fruit for the wind elf to hold, and he carefully told the little elf with a big appetite, "This fruit is not allowed to be eaten now, Wendy, you can't bear it, but you can use it at night." It's for dinner. If you eat too much, I won't help you massage and digest."

While the two were walking and chatting like this, they had gradually moved away from the city. Because of Wendy's existence, the two who had always been walking on unmanned paths or deserted forest roads saw the mountain from a distance on the mountainside. A village and town burning with cooking smoke outside.The young man immediately decided to spend the night there tonight, and it would be even better if he could earn more travel expenses tomorrow morning.

He said to the wind elf on his shoulder, "Wendy hugged the wild fruit tightly and hid, we are going down the mountain faster."

The young man running in the mountains and forests smelled the fragrance of nature, and was blown by a different breeze from the tyrant. This unusual trip allowed him to finally see the outside world.

The hard land that can grow crops, the waterfall that slopes down from the mountain wall, the sky that is no longer blocked by the blue wind wall, and the falcon that can fly freely are all things that cannot be achieved in the city ruled by the king of the tower. things seen.

The young man is satisfied with what he has experienced now, even though the time of this journey is limited, but he is lucky to be able to experience true "freedom" after death.

The boy who went down the mountain and entered the village was warmly received by the villagers. They prepared delicious food and warm quilts for the young boy, so that he could have a shelter from the wind and rain in an unoccupied house.Their hospitality made the young man think that he had met a good person, and the young man thanked them for their kindness.

"Oh, it's okay, you are a child traveling outside, of course you can help if you meet." The uncle who spoke was honest and straightforward, and he scratched his head and replied carelessly, "If it wasn't for Bandai-sama's inconvenient legs and feet, she would definitely Come out to meet you."

"Yes, yes, Master Bandai is very helpful. She is very hospitable to the travelers." The other villagers echoed one by one. Seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye after serving the prepared dinner to the boy. go.

The boy finally got a moment of peace.

He put the food on the low table, got up and looked at the room that was said to be unoccupied.The room was spotless, as if someone would clean it regularly. If it was really uninhabited, why would these villagers clean it every day?It was as if it had been prepared in advance for a tourist like him who was staying in the village.

What secrets is this village hiding?

"Wendy, can you see something?" The boy asked the non-human Wendy for help, but he got a shaking of his head.

Wendy, who also feels that there is a problem, has a new ability in this world to see the color of the soul clearly. The color of the souls of these villagers is a normal color, and there is nothing unusual when you look closely.

Do you need me to go out and explore?

The wind elf asked for the boy's opinion.

"No, safety is more important." The boy took Wendy out of the place where he had been for a long time, and after putting it on the table, he set aside a small portion of his own dinner, just like the time when the two were alone, "If caught by the villagers, Wendy, who has little meat and tastes bad, will be beaten as a monster."

"So eat more, if you become an emergency food, you may live longer."
