Chapter 22 - Rosemary Village (2/2)
”So this is the village, huh?” Jin murmured while looking at the village.
Corpses of the villager were scattered around the village.
Jin could smell thick blood, smoke, and rust in the whole village. The smell of flesh made Jin frown. It will be bad if the children saw the dead bodies.
He looked at the children and saw them trembling before he said, ”Just stay here! Don't enter the village if you're afraid!”
When he was about to enter the village he felt someone tugging his jacket. He turned his head and saw Erza with Simon.
”What do you want?” Jin asked them with a plain expression.
”I want to come along” Erza said as she tightened her gripped at his jacket.
Jin sighed before he looked at Simon and said, ”And you?”
”I want to come too” Simon said while looking up at him.
”Okay” Jin nodded as he enter the village. The two followed them while looking around.
”Say who is it? That you want to find” Jin said as he checked the bodies if there's any survivor. If there's any survivor he would be glad because it would help him take care of the children.
”My sister, Kagura” Simon said as he clenched his fist into balls.
Jin looked at Erza and asked, ”And you?”
”Kagura” Erza replied in a low voice.
”Okay! Looked around the village and checked if there's any survivor” Jin said to the two. Since they were looking for Kagura why not they also checked if there's any survivor.
Jin walked beside Erza and asked, ”How come this Kagura is not with you? From what I see those people kidnap all of the children in this village”
”I let her escape” Erza said in a low voice. She lowered her head and added, ”Also thank you for saving us”
Jin looked at her for a while before he said, ”Atleast someone thank me for saving them. I save you from those guys and yet you're all scared at me. Am I that scary?”
Erza stay silent.
Knowing that Erza wouldn't say anymore he stood up and said, ”Let's go and find this Kagura.”
Jin called Simon and leave the village after the checked that there's no survivor.
He sighed in said in his mind, 'I couldn't even find someone to talk in these bunch of children. They didn't even buy it when I joke with them.'
