The chosen path

"Come, tell me. What makes you give up the easiest path and retreat to a place like this?"

The little beggar held the little baby girl, the little baby girl after smashing it two mouth, tired of sleep again in the past.

"............... The number of."

"Oh? What do you mean?" The darkness seemed to be of interest.

The little beggar looked up and said silently, "the number of people responsible for the search is too small."

Hearing this, the dark out of the blood pupil suddenly revealed a very interested color. Laughter echoed in my head, and the voice said, "interesting. Boy, you're really funny. Very good! Tell me, then, the reason why a small crowd is not only bad for you, but bad for you."

The little beggar was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "last night, that woman said she would leave today."

"Oh, is it the little princess who should have seen you as an eyesore, a thorn in the flesh, and could not wait to cut you into a thousand pieces at once before you sold you and turned you into a harlot or a corpse?"

"..................... You know all about it."

Blood pupil flash, a scornful smile into the little beggar's mind: "oh, you just think I don't know. At this point, I'm just a stupid dagger that can talk and be ignorant of anything else. Please tell me, give me directions, enlighten my wisdom by the way ~~~!"

The tone of his voice was suddenly modest, but not respectful. After only three days with it, the beggar knew it was not a good thing. But he thought it over and decided to follow his heart and tell the answer.

"She said she would leave. If I were in charge of receiving this lady's departure, I would have had a heavy escort..."

"Hold on. Hold on a minute." "Before you go on, I want to be sure. You... Do you know what 'princess' means?"

The little beggar's expression is cold, staring at the blood pupil, as if to see the subtext in its eyes. After a long time, he slowly nodded: "yes."

"Oh? Explain." Darkness still seems a little uneasy.

"............ The so-called 'princess' is a high-end prostitute. They have great beauty and great talent, and they often come from rich families and act as their mistresses."

"....................."

Now, it was the turn of the darkness.

There was nothing wrong with the knowledge of the little beggar, and in the materialistic world of sennag, the so-called princess was only a better name. Strange though he was, a girl as young as nine could become a "princess". But it says a lot more about that little girl's sophistication, her cunning, her ability to take advantage of men, her natural ability to smooth talk.

"............... Well, I have to admit, it's inevitable that you live in such circumstances." The dark extinguish seems to sigh, blood pupil closes, continue way, "go on, your judgment."

In spite of this, he did not explain the real meaning of the name "princess" to the little beggar. On the one hand, it was a very troublesome business to offend the mistress of a great man, not much more than the princess. On the other hand, its interest.

Interesting.

For interesting things, dark out happy silence, looking forward to the future development.

Little beggars were silent for a moment, confirmed after dark out really is to let his words, just said: "if I were in the escort my mistress (dark out could not help but giggle two, because the little beggar that very serious and serious face to say the words, is too funny), I will surrendered the city roads unimpeded, never send people to conduct a search. Or I'll send men to block the entrance and no one's going in or out."

Darkout stopped laughing. "that's right. And then what?"

"............ Last night, an organization of killers was exterminated."

"Ah, so it is, you think so. Because this killer organization was eliminated, that mayor before the princess will go to be sure to ignore 37 twenty-one, the abduction of the baby all blame to that organization, announced the case. Because..."

"Dead men can't tell." The little beggar's tone is calm, again coldly of say.

"If the case is solved, there shouldn't be any more searches that slap me in the face. But they probably didn't find the most important thing."

"Hey, hey, that's the missing baby, isn't it? But the mayor's mistress pointed a finger at the mayor and ordered him to find the child as soon as possible after he had left. But ~~~!"

"If that's true," the beggar continued, "even for the sake of appearances, the mayor should send heavy troops. Not just five or six people. What's more, he said the other side is a killer organization, more than a hundred babies to leave, there must be a lot of porters."

"Hey hey, I understand. If it had been an entire unit on the blockade, it would have been sent by the mayor. But there were only five or six people, and the search was too lax by any stretch of the imagination. So what is apparent is that the mayor is escorting his mistress away with a heavy military escort. He has completely ignored sennaga's perimeter watch."

The beggar nodded silently and moved the baby girl slightly to make her sleep more comfortable.

"Well, what does it mean that someone who is not from the government is now out in search, pretending to be one? Hey hey boy, you should guess out?"

Silence, for the time being, takes the place of words. The little beggar's eyes drooped and he gazed silently at the baby girl in his arms. This time there was a longer silence. Standing in the snow, he seemed to stand until the end of time...

"............ Key."

"Oh?"

"Key organization. Once... The group that went after the boy's parents."

"Oh, that is to say, to kill all the organization that is full of benevolence and morality? Well, I really want to thank them. Well done!"

There was no expression on the little beggar's face, but in the simplest words, the meaning was expressed

"They're looking for her."

If the key organization can kill the baby girl's family, it will kill the beggar who found her. And what happens when the baby girl falls into their hands? I can't imagine.

Above, the little beggar's words have finished. For these reasoning, dark out slowly open the blood pupil. After thinking for a moment, the blood pupil raised, staring at the little beggar's expressionless face, staring...

"Ha... Ha ha ha... Hahahahaha! Interesting! Boy, you are so funny! Is this made-up reasoning true or not? You don't want to send this dead girl out, is it because the other party is really a murderous terrorist organization, or because you simply don't want to leave this girl so early? Ha ha... Just. At this point, I'll just pretend that the other side is really a terrorist organization. But in this way, you give yourself in front of the draw down an insuperable gap. How do you want to do, ability is not discovered by the other side under the circumstance, take this dead wench, leave this decaying city safely? Show me what you can do, human boy!"

The little beggar looked coldly at the red pupils of his arms. After a moment, he began to look up, to look around, to think of any possible way.

It was now nearly noon, and the snow on the ground had melted a little in the sun, but it had frozen over at once, and was very slippery. This is the gateway to the city and, of course, to the shops.

Goo............

The belly of the little beggar let out a cry. He looked down at his stomach and then at the baby girl in his arms. Then he looked at the shops and saw, quite simply, many food shops.

The little beggar touched his purse, and the next moment his eyes were full of frost. Taking his steps, the little beggar began to amble toward the food shops.

"Oh, it is to want to fill belly first?"

The little beggar did not respond to the question. After wandering around the various food stores for a moment, he went straight into a macaroni shop.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Today, the owner of macaroni had the strangest customer. It was a beggar - like child with a baby in his arms. In fact, this is not a big deal, as long as the money, even if it is a dog he will still give each other food. Strangely, the little beggar ordered a dozen different flavors of macaroni and asked for a pack.

The man in the shop looked at the little beggar, and at the pocket he had taken out. There were not many sulla and enel in it. After you strip out the food, there's less left. He buys so much macaroni, does he run errands for other beggars?

But soon both the guests and the owner felt that he was definitely not running errands.

After receiving the square plastic boxes, the beggar took them one by one from the plastic bag brought by the shop owner and opened the lid. After he filled his stomach, the rest of the macaroni didn't care. Then he asked his boss for some hot water, fed her with macaroni sauce, filled the thermos and sat there.
