Chapter 8

After having pro me and Misery behind

The e has regained its calmness

Well, then, shall I go catch someone?

That’s what I thought, but the village became somewhat deserted

I think that hu so much work

Aan

Is that it?

Only elderly and children are now left in the village

Just now, a gang of three children passed by me

Maa, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to play with children, this time,「Nee nee」so I called to them

But, themy way

I recall stones being thrown at me yesterday

I was greatly perplexed, but once it hit my skull, I noticed that it was a small nut

I pick it up and look at it dumbfoundedly

Then, the children throw a siain and run away

Mou, what is this?

I look at Misery

「Did the nuts hit you?」

She shakes her head

Did they throw so they would hit this child?

「Ne ne, are those children Misery’s friends?」

When I asked, Misery just stared ather head

I stroll around the village aimlessly

Misery didn’t let go of my hand as usual

It’salone

Even though we don’t talk, the ate

I thought it was very natural to have her next to me

Therefore, I just leave it as it is

However, when the sun was at its highest, Misery’s stomach let out a tiny sound

I stop in place and look at Misery

「Are you hungry? DO you want to return home to eat?」

After thinking for a while, Misery starts walking while pulling my hand

She took e

She lets go of my hand and opens the door of the house with both of her hands

Then, she grasps ain and pulls me inside the house

There are no signs of people in the house

I was greeted by only a dirt floor

I catch a sight of wooden pillars, stone walls, a furnace and a pan hanging on the wall

The furnace is covered by dust

There were three chairs around a table

Misery sits me on one of those chairs and runs to the cabinet

She takes a bread from there with both hands, puts in on the table and sits next to me

She divides the not so big bread in half and presents me with one

Fumu

I tore off a piece of the bread and threw it into my mouth

The sed bread falls froravity

I caught it with e

「As you can see, I can’t eat Please eat it all」

Misery looked atfor a while, then she burst out in a laugh

I wonder as so funny?

She tears a sers and throws it to my bony mouth

I caught it the saently right into her mouth

It continued until the whole bread has disappeared
