Chapter 56
Latia’s POV
In my childhood I had normal friends .
However, since who knows when [Mother], [Father] and [Friends] disappeared from my surroundings .
I came to this town because the people who would speak to me in the village where I lived are gone .
I went out of the village to a nearby town and met up with various people there .
When I was almost attacked suddenly by a man in the shop which it was said that I could make a lot of money .
Even when it was likely to become friends with an onee-san that I met when I was entrusted with the chores at a restaurant .
Everyone fainted in my presence for some reason and they didn’t wake up for several days .
Moreover, stuff would break around me . Although I never touched them .
I came to Welburg because before coming to this town, there was no longer anyone who would talk to me in the town I was in .
This town was an Adventurer town, surely I will be accepted here .
No, perhaps adventurers in this town may not collapse .
I came to this town believing so .
I found work as a day laborer because it was a work where I could talk to many people . But, I became lonely there .
I got fired from work, too .
After I got fired, the old woman who had always greeted me collapsed before my eyes . It was the day when I accompanied her to the doctor .
What should I do for today’s meal? At that time I was thinking that . I was surprised from being called out from behind all of the sudden .
“Hiya, hiyai?”
I don’t usually speak to people too much, so a strange voice came out .
And, I have noticed . For a person to be calling out to a dull woman like me in such a way when there is little pedestrian traffic .
“I-I don’t have any money . I also just got fired from my job . ”
So, it is a burglar-san . No, no matter how, from my appearance it clearly states that the possibility for money was not visible .
“My boobs are small so you should stop!”
Then, maybe his aim is surely for my body? I appealed desperately that he should stop it .
I was told later [Such a pose is dangerous and will have the opposite effect, so don’t do it anymore] .
Why is that?”
“Besides that, I don’t have any parents, I’m foolish, I’m an extremely ugly woman, nothing good will come out of me . *Sniffle* . ”
If it is not about my body, then what is it? I spoke with my utmost effort about my troubles to the burglar-san .
A depressing feeling swelled up fast when I spoke .
The burglar-san is a nice burglar-san because he listened to my story .
“Did you settle down?”
“Ha, yes . I’m sorry for the misunderstanding . ”
The burglar-san seems to be an adventurer .
After that, I talked mainly about coming to this town .
I spoke about various things, but Hibiki-san listened to everything .
When my story reached a pausing point, Hibiki-san had begun to give out a worried air .
I see, it is already such a time . I got afraid after the words [Let’s return] left Hibiki-san’s mouth .
“I don’t have a single friend in this town at all . Hibiki-san, could you be my friend?”
I noticed when I said such a thing .
Uwaa, what the heck am I saying, me? See Hibiki-san looks troubled too .
But, still .
“For a long time, a person who seems to get along well with me, would collapse . However, It seems that Hibiki-san is safe with me, somehow?”
I want a friend .
“O-oh, that so . Best regards . ”
Hibiki-san became friends with me .
Before he could say [I changed my mind] I immediately made a promise to meet the next day, then I left the place in a rush .
Like that, the day after tomorrow came early .
The promised day with Hibiki-san .
I was terribly restless on the way to the Adventurer Guild .
Though Hibiki-san’s face looked serious somehow, being an adventurer was tough .
I was troubled a little when he said it was dangerous outside of town, but apparently, it was safe for now . That’s a relief .
More importantly than such things was communication with the red slime that was near Hibiki-san .
Oh, it is pleasantly soft *bunyu bunyu* .
A somewhat scary person looked this way when I steadily touched the slime .
Though I unintentionally hid myself behind Hibiki-san, Hibiki-san did not have an unpleasant face when protecting me .
When I was working putting goods away with Hibiki-san, an alchemist called out to me .
He talked about one thing after another and I was on the verge of panicking . The moment I tried to asked for someone’s help the alchemist collapsed .
Ah, it happened again . With this, my job is done for .
Important people came from the interior of the building . Ah geez, not good .
“The customer apparently got too excited and collapsed . ”
Eh!? Hibiki-san is giving an explanation to the higher-ups .
Is he acquainted with this big boss? The boss was serious for me, he gave words of comfort to me .
In addition, I have troubled Hibiki-san .
I said [I’m sorry] so many times but Hibiki-san told me not to worry about it .
But, work has been settled thanks to Hibiki-san . It was necessary to return my gratitude .
Because, friends are equal .
I bought suitable bracelets in a nearby shop and presented it to Hibiki-san .
“Here, Hibiki-san . This is a commemoration for today that I was able to make a friend and as thanks for helping me . ”
I want to convey my gratitude even a little, however I can only pass on this kind of thing .
“Oi, is it fine? Should you be using your precious salary for such a thing?”
Please don’t say such a thing!! For me, there is nothing more important than this now!!
I want to say so . However, my mouth did not move well .
“There is no such thing . This is a very very important thing . ”
I wonder did my feelings reach him? Hibiki-san received the bracelet .
I was relieved because I was able to pass it, but it’s getting dark . Moreover, it is time to part .
Quickly, I need to make my next promise!!
“Hibiki-san, will you be in the guild tomorrow?”
I mustered my courage and asked Hibiki-san . However…
“No, I will not really be in town tomorrow . ”
There was never a case when I was sad as this when being turned down .
Moreover, he will not be in town, what was that? Will he never return anymore?
No, it was not the time to be downcast . If tomorrow was not good how about the day after tomorrow?
“Right, so . The day after tomorrow, I think that I will be in the courtyard of the lord’s castle in the morning . ”
What a relief . I can meet Hibiki-san again if I endure only for a day .
“That’s great!! Then, see you the day after tomorrow!!”
In addition, I started running at once before I heard the unpleasant [I changed my mind] .
I want to be with Hibiki-san more .
But, it’s possible to meet again . Because he promised!!
“Oi, you . ”
A voice called out from the back alley just like several days ago . The voice shows that it wasn’t Hibiki-san, my heart started to beat fast .
When I thought of looking back and answered, I was plunged into darkness .
Eh, what is this? My body doesn’t move .
I wonder why I’m sleepy? Yeah, I am sleepy . I can surely have a dream if I sleep like this . If it was a dream with Hibiki-san that would be nice .
