The Little Devil of Sakaz

While chewing the sweet and soft corn kernels, the little rabbit raised his head and glanced at the master assassin opposite.

Askaron eats very quickly. Although it cannot keep up with Worm's almost swallowing speed, it is much faster than the slow-chewing Amiya. She has already finished her staple food and is ready to eat some fruits to aid digestion after the meal. vegetable.However, even the agile master assassin found it difficult to completely control the round green beans on the fork. When the scooped green beans were put into the mouth, one naughty one rolled off the fork.

If it were common sense, it should have fallen straight, but its route was distorted. It rolled in a large arc from a smooth cloth, seriously delaying its own movement, causing it to not fall to a lower place. The assassin master pinched it and threw it back into his mouth.

"Σ(⊙▽⊙"!"

Before the other party looked at her, Amiya hid her surprised expression by lowering her head to eat.

-

"Brother Worm, do you want to take a rest? You can go to my room."

The little rabbit followed the boy, looked at his small figure and made some gestures. Then he realized that there was still a long way between him and him. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but then he felt a little happy.

"Do you still have my room?"

Worm remembered that his room was very close to the room of Banshee's friend, but this time Rhode Island had undergone some drastic changes. He didn't see his room, and it might have been transferred to other members.

"Keep it! The bedding has been sorted and sealed a long time ago. I'm just waiting for Brother Worm to come back before using it."

"But I don't have the key card for Brother Worm's room. I have to go to Dr. Kelsey to know where to put it."

And Doctor Lynx is not in Rhode Island right now, which means that if Worm wants to rest, the best place to go is...

"There are fruits here. I'm going to wash Brother Worm. There's also tumor milk and biscuits."

The little rabbit warmly entertained his brother and took out all the snacks and fruits he could find to share with him.

"..."

Worm didn't respond to Amiya, he was caught up in the memories left for him in this room.

"Teresia..."

This was the room that Theresa once lived in. Wurm only came in when moving things after the room was built.

This place was full of mystery to Worm.

He has seen the doctor sleeping in a coma due to overexertion of his mind, the banshee friend sleeping with no manners after being drunk, and the pardoner falling asleep silently in silence, but he did not I saw Theresia resting on the bed.

Every time I see her, she is either busy or on the way to becoming busy. There are only a handful of times to rest, let alone the time to sleep peacefully in a soft and warm bed.

Worm would wonder if Theresia would also think about these things in her dreams when she fell asleep, or would she leave them behind and enter her dream without any burden or scruple.Will she also ride on the quilt when she falls asleep like a banshee?Does she also talk strangely in her sleep like the Doctor? Does she talk about her relatives in her dreams?Will she be like the Pardoner, who has trouble sleeping in her dreams and needs someone to stay with her?

"What is Brother Worm looking at?"

The little rabbit came to him and followed his gaze, then blushed slightly.

"Well, brother Worm, I have recently started practicing the violin again. Although, although I still cannot play as well as Her Highness Theresia, I will try my best."

The violin placed on the counter was a gift given to Theresa after hearing that she had learned to play the violin. However, it was shelved by her during the previous period. Her mentality has improved a lot recently. She Then he picked it up again.

"Brother Worm, do you want to hear it?"

The little rabbit looked a little eager to try. The way he looked at him on tiptoes was indescribably cute.

"Ah."

Worm could see that her emotions were getting high and it was not appropriate to interrupt at this time, so he responded accordingly.

"Then, then I will show my shame..."

The tune of the song was very familiar, it was the same ballad that Worm had heard many times.

When others sing for them, they always place certain expectations on the person being sung.

Worm looked at Amiya who had closed her eyes and concentrated on playing. What did she expect from herself?

Theresia chose her, so she gave the Black Crown to her; Kelsey chose her, so she gave Rhode Island to her.

What does she want from herself?

"Brother Worm, how am I doing?"

After playing the song, the little rabbit's smooth cheeks were stained with a bright red color and a little sweat, but those sapphire-like eyes were full of expectation and the slightest desire to be praised and show off.

"Good to hear."

Worm did not shy away from his praise.Under the influence of musician Arturo, Wurm's understanding of musicality has also improved, and now after listening carefully, he can hear some more detailed qualities.

"hey-hey……"

After a few embarrassed laughs, the little rabbit put the violin back in its place and turned to entertain Worm.

"Don't you want to eat anything, Brother Worm?"

"Not hungry yet. Take a rest, Amiya."

It's great that the little rabbit is jumping around, but it's already afternoon, and as a child, you should take a rest.He was also going to take a break for the afternoon exploration.

"..."

This was not the first time that Amiya slept next to this boy who was only a few years older than her. She could now clearly recall the scene when she was dug out of the soil by him.

In the chaotic mine, he didn't feel disgusted at all with his dirty self. He was willing to be frightened and helpless while hugging himself and crying. Even if dust and blood stained his clean clothes, he would not Push yourself away.He carried me back to the quiet and safe ward. She was extremely scared and relied on him tightly. She was extremely sensitive to the disturbances in the outside world. He had to be by his side when eating, taking medicines and infusions, and taking injections. You have to be held by him to accept it with peace of mind...

There are too many things that she can think of and rely on.

So when Her Majesty Theresia explained that matter to her, when she only heard that he could be saved from danger and would not die like her father, and that she could leave him safe like her father, Ami Ya agreed.

But she feels very regretful now. At that time, she had no idea that what she inherited would be so important to Sakaz. She just wanted to repay him for saving his life, and never thought of taking anything away from him...

She wasn't interested in Dr. Kelsey's theory about the devil either.

"Brother Worm..."

"Can't you sleep, Amiya."

It was his habit to wake up as soon as Worm woke up, but in the eyes of the Carters girl around him, this was more of a sign of trust and concern for her.

"Um... I'm sorry, Brother Worm..."

She wanted to apologize. Those things were all because of herself... If it weren't for herself, would Her Majesty Theresia be able to keep the crown and not die?The doctor will not be injured, Dr. Kelsey will not be so busy, and Brother Worm will not leave alone.Can everyone still live together happily as before?

"why."

"Brother Worm...I..."

"Why are you apologizing, Amiya."

Worm observed her emotional changes, and he wanted to touch this emotion.

"You have nothing to apologize to me for."

Worm's palm touched that soft little face, and he could feel a thought coming from that emotion.

Amiya feels guilty and apologetic about many things, which is the reason why the little rabbit always has nightmares.

"Yes! I, I...it was me, I took away the crown that should have belonged to Brother Worm..."

"No, Amiya."

Worm raised her little head, which she wanted to lower, and looked into her eyes, seeming to see the confused version of herself.

"That black crown doesn't matter."

"You didn't take anything away from me. It was something Theresa left to you, using its power to protect you."

"It doesn't belong to me and I don't need it."

Worm did not stop. He continued to tell Amiya about his thoughts during this period, his feelings about this journey, and the thoughts that emerged in his heart.

"A crown, no matter how powerful it is, should not determine who is the next leader of a race, nor should it determine the future of a race."

"A true king should decide for himself what is his crown and what is a precious thing worth fighting for, bleeding for, and sacrificing for."

"Amiya, you have to understand that a leader, a king, must deeply love the land where he grew up, the hometown for which he devoted his heart and soul, and the people he trusted and followed him. Rather than meaningless wealth, It is not an empty and powerful power, nor is it a crown that others can boast about."

Brother Worm, does he... think so?

"Keep it, interpret it, control it, Amiya. Perhaps this is what you should do, and perhaps this is the reason why Theresia gave it to you instead of me."

Theresia said that there are many secrets left in the Black Crown, not only the history of Sarkaz, but also the hope of this land.

Worm was determined and confident that he could lead the Sarkazis to find the new Kazdaele. He was willing to leave the Black Crown to Amiya, hoping that she could successfully find the Black Crown as Theresia thought. The hope hidden in the cartridge is to realize the more lofty ideals Thearesia envisioned after the Sakaz reconciled with the land.

"I, I will try my best to do it well... No, I will definitely do this well! Please believe me, Brother Worm!"

"I believe in you, Amiya. I will always believe in you."

The little rabbit cried again. Worm was very familiar with her in this state. This is what she really looks like. This is what a 12-year-old girl really looks like.

"Cry as much as you want, Amiya."

Worm hugged her tightly and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Not many people would cry around him, but there would still be people who would cry and seek his comfort.

Worm is willing to listen to their cries, to soothe their sorrows, and to share their joys.

As he said himself, the rising good emotions of people who are willing to follow him are the treasures he cherishes.

'Worm is already a mature leader. '

Theresia hugged him tightly from behind.

When Amiya cries, her brother will comfort her, and someone will remember that she is just a 12-year-old child.

When Worm cried while holding his dead compatriots, how many people remembered that he was only 16 years old?

-

Amiya cried and fell asleep in Worm's arms before she knew it.

Worm didn't bother her, just held her and closed her eyes to take a nap.

Theresia also took advantage of this quiet time to show up, hugging Worm and humming Sakaz's lullaby softly, waiting for the children to fall asleep.

It wasn't until Amiya's cell phone rang with a communication call that Thearesia reluctantly disappeared. Worm also held the squinting bunny in one hand and picked up the cell phone she placed next to the pillow.

The caller displayed was "Dr. Kelsey."

"Amiya, where are you now? The staff said you didn't go to the control center in the afternoon."

A tired lynx call came from the phone. It seemed that her trip was not easy and smooth.

"Amiya is still resting."

"...Worm. You are with Amiya."

The other party recognized his voice immediately.

"Okay, I understand. Remember to remind Amiya to go to the logistics area to check the newly arrived cargo in half an hour."

Doctor Lynx quickly hung up the phone, seemingly not worried that another 'Assassination of the Demon King' would happen here.

"Brother Worm...is this Dr. Kelsey?"

Amiya wanted to open her eyes, but she was reluctant to let go of the warmth. However, she was not completely immersed in the gentle land yet. After rubbing Worm's chest a few times, she opened her eyes and asked about the news of the communication just now.

"It's Kelsey. She said that a batch of cargo has entered the ship and she wants you to go to the logistics department to check it."

"Well, can you come with me, Brother Worm."

"Okay. I'd also like to know about Rhode Island's current operations."

Wurm looked at the little furry brown tail hidden by the wide blue coat, and told her his thoughts.

"The operation situation of Rhode Island... I can explain it to Brother Worm."

Why would Brother Worm ask that?Do you also want to buy a land cruiser?In that case, wouldn't it be enough to just go back to Rhode Island?

"Let's go this way. There's an elevator here, and we'll get to the logistics department faster."

With doubts in mind, Amiya took Worm's hand and led him to the logistics department to check the accounts.

Worm glanced at his shadow before entering the elevator. It was empty and Ines was not in it.

After eating at noon, she left her shadow, probably exchanging information with Askaron.I should also send a message to her and agree on a time to meet.

"The logistics department is managed by Miss Lucille."

On the road, Amiya told Worm about the current managers of Rhode Island and related strategies and regulations.

While Lucille serves as the chief engineer of Rhode Island, she also works part-time as the logistics minister of Rhode Island. She is a hard-working and uncomplaining employee who is a perfect model employee.

"Is that so?"
