How much can a human hate another person?

Fin absentht all the way to the barracks by a atekeeper this whole ti officer and his name was Masod Fin, fortunately or unfortunately, see direct leadershi+p from him In short, Fin will be treated like a manservant

It wasn’t of the likes ofpushed around He was called over by the enerally was forced made to run around from the barracks to the barns and harbor for trivial errands

Although because of this he has witnessed the soldier’s corruption and ralad to not being ordered to join in even more evil acts and just finish his job

(Be patient, just endure it)

When it was not constantly repeating in his innerain wanted to take up the rebellious attitude Just now, he was told once again to shi+ne the shoes he just shi+ne, and when he took the ordered item, he was coldly sent back with a “Not this, that“ And moments like are usually accompanied by a sneer and abuse

However, if Fin were to glare back even a little, ihing like a wild animal, he would say

“Ooh, so scary, so scary It seeuy ill handle your discipline”

Given that situation, Fin had no choice but to shut up and bow his head without saying anything In order to protect Nellis, Uncle, and Aunt, he told hiether

And like that, while he was forced to run around, Fin was not able to anything about the circumstances outside Such as will the forht, or where did they get their food supply, or is his family safe

But, on the fifth day, the opportunity finally cao to the harbor’s Audia teht hi the way

“The reason why those beasts don’t come and attack fro the sacred fire be extinguished”

Only in these moments does he act respectful, even with such ruffian’s expression Fin was slightly a as he looked at the wharf The scale of the teh it didn’t match the scale of the town Nanais is a port city that prospered on fishi+ng and trade, so The Mother of the Sea Audia was a very iuardian God to them

Once, even Oandus took the whole family out to visit the temple It may be unthinkable that a miller would have any relation to a sea God, but without a strong sea breeze, the windnized the face of the priestess Fianera

The group of bandits and even the former army soldier, as expected, couldn’t lay a hand on the teures of many citizens and when the soldiers ca their eyes lares, Iguros instead looked proud and glared at theantly Fin, unable to stand them, looked down and bit his lips

Iguros did not head directly to the temple, but approached the harbor There for the first time, Fin knew of how the food situation of the toas dependent on such a dangerous lifeline

“You only rely on boats?”

Fin unintentionally asked, and Iguros shrugged his shoulders and responded

“The areas that a horse can travel has been taken, you know Well, there may still soraciously protected by Master Audia”

Fro s of wheat and some kind of wooden boxes and vases were lowered down But that was not all, there was also so where you don’t want to knohere they found it nor how they obtained it A lump of half-eaten cheese, an impressive amount of jerky and walnuts, a liquor jar that was obviously for family use, etc

“Even if night were to fall, the beasts won’t chase after us if we run to the sea Besides, our shi+p, noprotected by the sacred flame after all”

Even while he was nal to his cooods to be carried to the temple After a short while, Fin was e, and while continuallycoh place”, as he clireat effort

Iguros, ent first, carried luggage with both of his arms, but maybe because his weren’t as heavy as Fin’s or this was everyday training to him, he didn’t looked worried at all

When Fin struggled and finally arrived at the temple entrance one way or another, and he was out of breath and fell down on his knees Iguros turned his head and scoffed “You’re sloppy, youngster”, but Fin preferred this way of laughing than the glares he got when he first came to the city

“Wait there I’ll make a manservant or someone else take it up”

He left that ive a reply, Fin sat down on that spot, and while watching over the luggage, he steadied his breathing And it was at that moment

“Big Bro Fin!?”

He was called out in a familiar voice, and he immediately turned around

“Nellis!”

The figure of his younger sister appeared fro relief to wash over hi Nellis tight Nellis also tightly clung to him and buried her face in his shoulder After a while, she unwrapped her arms and looked up at him, and showed a painful bitter smile

“Big Bro, you stink of sweat”

“Is that a thing to say to someone you haven’t encountered in five days?”

Fin looked depressed, but he soon broke out into a smile and stroked Nellis’s head In just a mere 5 days, it looked like Nellis had become quite thin and dirty

“How are Uncle and Aunt? Did they find a place to live?”
