7. Reason for wickedness

While looking at one room of the fort, which s.h.i.+ned beyond recognition, Iss.h.i.+ nodded approvingly though he had an exhausted expression.

The time was midnight already, time pa.s.ses quite fast when one stays up all night.

The sky is clear and the stars twinkle calmly.

But, in such a beautiful starlit sky, there exist three moons.

However, after arrived here, Iss.h.i.+ had encountered many event that were outside of common sense already.

The intention to deny the fact that the place I lived now is a strange different world that isn’t earth died down, then, the number of moons means nothing at all.

When he turned around again, he returned his gaze to Premier that was awaiting Iss.h.i.+’s words while in a standing position across the table.

“Though there were no good cleaning tools, you all did well. I mean, you immediately cut the plant from the forest, and turn it into a broom in an instant, you all  are wonderful.”

“No”, Premier shakes her head while being grateful.

“Fortunately,  all kinds of sc.r.a.p cloth was left. Because a mountain stream is near, it’s possible to clean it out. And thanks to that, we won’t be troubled with drinking water either. Right now, I’m making those who are free go fetch the  water that is needed for our necessity.”

(Is that so?) I nod in acknowledgment and sit on a worn out chair, furthermore she continued.

“In addition, I have not been able to provide a meal for Master yet, I am really sorry. Because the procurement of wild gra.s.s and beasts has been  completed already, as soon as the water arrives, I will make a simple meal.”

“Well (no), because I’m not so hungry, you don’t need to rush. Rather you should eat properly. Is eating even necessary for homunculi?.”

To his question Premier made a troubled expression.

As though, it’s a situation she had to wondered if she should or shouldn’t say something.

Fumu, when he guesses that, the question was repeated to let her understand his intentions.

“You don’t need to say what you can’t say, if you thought that I was a reliable Master, would you tell me? By any chance, is it because I am slow in understanding the difference of you girls, that you can’t tell me?.”

As I said so, Premier could do nothing but tell the truth.

Because, it would determine if her master stayed or not.

Premier made up her mind and said, with a faint voice,

“It’s human blood.”

Well to tell the truth, it was the first reason why homunculi are despised, but Iss.h.i.+, to such a thing, he made an understanding expression.

So, it was a rather uncomfortable confession, Premier expected that they might be thrown out, instinctively  upon receiving  an unexpected answer “huh?” she raised  her voice unintentionally.
