Volume 3 Chapter 55 (2/2)

『You don't have to worry that much, you know? 』

On this precise ain The silhouette was pitch black

It was as if the shadow that once spoke to e that I suddenly remembered that shadow here and noas extreination

If it cah to persuade the inhabitants of the Poor People's cave

『Ohhh, youto you It's so that can't be borrowed』

I reflected on how this shadow could be so visible on h hts

Yeah, of course I wouldn't have to worry about anything if I solved everything with my oords

Involuntarily, a dry and sarcastic sh ood for us, as s, to lend our help to hu I can say…If you were inspired by my words, why don't you stand up on your own here and now?』

The shadow spoke to h eration of ination

However, that shadow ht e the course ofto the past

Please, let ination was fake, I didn't care Anything he said was fine with uidance But, perhaps, I won't get anything since it was my brain that created the current appearance of the shadow Or so I thought

Even though it kept appearing onso that I didn't hear any ain

『That's it, yeah, keep pushi+ng yourself on your own… 』

「That's right At best, the last thing you'll have is…a little bit of hatred, isn't that so?」

After a brief silence, a strong voice erupted froone, and he spoke with a rough tone The lightening sparks of the fire pit illuminated his face, yes; his look had a fierce cois with a stunned expression Neither Wood nor Sereal understood theof his last words

Hatred Yes, hatred he said Why would he speak of such a thing now?

The flame burnt continuously and sparks flew in the air because of the light wind Lugis' silhouette distorted with the ht froht, Elder If you want to be a good person, that's fine Even if you are attacked by one of your own neighbors, such as Garoua Maria, and even if you are tra any kind of hatred, then it's splendid for you You're a great holy person」

I could hear a shi+vering sound throughout my spine

The hairs of my arms stood up as if I had chicken skin, and my throat sed the saliva involuntarily The Elder, and of course, the gathered people, were looking with astonishi+ng eyes at the rat that spoke without hesitation

Ah, stop it Don't tell us the future I didn't want to hear it The eyes of the gathering people also agreed with this thought No one wanted to hear about it either

「I heard that you had a beautiful fishi+ng village nearby They caught fish in theThey weren't rich, but they weren't poor They lived a fulfilled life Well, those were good days that didn't last long…It seeside with its people to build a port for trade So, tell me Elder This was totally fine because it was God's will, wasn't it?」

It felt as if his words were like nails that pierced the bottom of our chest painfully No one wanted to touch that topic No one wanted to remember Our is' words began to lift the edge of the dark curtains

The shi+ave the shadows of the people in the dark an eerie atmosphere in the square

「…Ah, everyone Just think deeply about it If you let that predicaotten, then you'll live your entire lives with hued colors

His voice was different The tone changed dramatically unlike his previous voice It wasn't a voice with cruelty, nor did it sound as if he tried to force these people into doing so they didn't want to do Rather, it was a different voice Nor gentle nor cruel, but soanized

Lugis' eyes spotted Wood hiding behind a large tree in the corner of the square Wood was hiding behind the tree because of his cowardice and fear But, Lugis' eyes saw him And on this moment, both of their eyes saw one another Wood felt so nervous that this excruciating feeling ran throughout his spine It was as if he heart stopped for a second

「Correct, just think about what happened so far Who took away your dignity, stripped you of your right to live under the glow of the sun? Who row fat and wealthy?…Those who took everything away fro their best lives inside of those walls」

Lugis spread out his arms and moved his face to point to the walls

His voice wasn't loud And yet, it was a voice that creeped out from the bottom of this earth We felt one unmistakable emotion Hatred Yes, the colors of his words were undoubtedly painted with strong strokes of hatred

The audience looked at the walls behind thele one of them stared fixedly as if they were a flock of tiny rats controlled by the bigger rat Lugis, who stood still with his arms open

They separated our co that we couldn't overcouished the poor people froreat walls of Garoua Maria, the sy away Froet the that I can say to you Only one thing」

It seemed as if the flames blazed violently on the fire pit as we reached a crucial point Yes, Lugis' momentum with his speech for the inhabitants of the Poor People's cave had arrived

The flames spread little by little, and the sparks flew in the air Everybody was eager to knohat the only one thing was The eyes of the crowd of people idely open

「…Let's bring everything to ashes Let's take away from them as reat holy religion that wants equality for everybody's souls, then we'll drag theround and burn them all」

It wasn't persuasive words Likewise, it wasn't words that de It was rather words full of raw emotion

He had a heart full of hatred A detere His words blended ith the darkness of the night

Wood's eyes idely open and they barelyher brother's hand, Sereal noticed the fountain of sweat that fell from his forehead

There was no power on his words There was no way that those words would have the power to shake the hearts of the inhabitants of the Poor People's cave It was just the talk of a young man All I could feel was one emotion of his entire speech

「…But…What can we do as weak people… 」

Before long, the Elder professed his oords The oldthe pressured air

「Yeah, right Just listen carefully 」

The voice spoke for itself Lugis approached the Elder and touched his shoulder

「…They're laughing at you 」

Aht, everyone re on their ears

I didn't want to hear it I didn't want to concentratenot to see I pretended not to listen I thought it was fine Yes, everything was the same for those tiny rats, for Wood and for Sereal

The inside of the walls were bright day and night It was the proof of a trading city During the day, the ht, the rich people played with the goods they bought during the day That's why the influx of reat power

The men's voices, the women's voices, the youth voices, and even the elderly voices Their laughter crawled out of the walls They celebrated the prosperity of their city-state Their joyous life was so grand that they wanted to tell the whole world how happy they were

Things are starting to heat up!!
