Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

10 month 31 day.

early morning.

"Yes, Fengchi acupoint... it's this spot, press it more."

"..."

"Come to think of it, you haven't showered yet, right? It smells a bit."

After the rain, water began to flow again in the small ditch, and the upper part seemed to be blocked by dead trees, which intercepted most of the debris.

"..."

The water is very cold.

"Damn it, when will I be able to get out?"

"..."

I have never taken off my clothes in front of a man.

But I used to be considered a ‘human’. Not anymore.

"Finish it sooner so we can hurry up and travel tomorrow."

He didn't seem to be interested in my body. He just glanced at me, said something and left.

"..."

"Who taught you to wash like this? Can't you see the mud on your wrists? It's just as smelly as before. You have OCD."

I washed it again.

11 month 3 day.

noon.

After more than ten years, I saw the prosperity of big towns again.

Last time my parents brought me to see a doctor, this time... it was as a commodity.

"Fuck, car? No...it doesn't sound like an internal combustion engine."

Is a black and white four-wheeled vehicle called a car?

I can't remember if I saw it last time I came here. But the man is from a big place, why is he so surprised?

But it has nothing to do with me.

After arriving at such a place, I would be sold immediately. My parents never taught me to break my promise. They taught me not to promise something that I cannot do. Only when I can do it can I say it. This is credibility.

Ok……

But if my parents knew that this was the kind of credibility that had to be turned into a commodity, they would probably prefer that I had no credibility.

11 month 3 day.

in the afternoon.

"Change into this dress."

I have never seen such gorgeous clothes.

If it were the herbs I used to pick with my parents, or the grains I grew... maybe it would take a whole village to afford them.

The reason I will be given...

"Goods need to be packaged. If they are tattered, the price will be greatly reduced."

It will only be like this.

So, what happens after the change?

"If you eat good food normally, your face will be sallow and your body will be thin, and your price will be discounted."

"..."

It looked like I couldn't be sold right away.

Food, very crispy...

I haven’t eaten normal food for many days. I can eat ordinary noodles to a ridiculous extent, let alone crispy chicken with tender inside?

The place to stay is also very good.

It was spacious, with a large wooden bed and soft cloth...such good cloth was only used to wipe the face.

11 month 3 day.

Night.

"Do you know the magic stone?"

"..."

do not know.

"You've really never seen a car before?"

never seen it.

“Who are the Aboriginals anyway?”

I can't quite understand what he wants to express.

Just one thing.

“When will you sell me?”

"First, get your body in good shape."

11 month 4 day.

early morning.

"Damn it, the richest person can get the car."

"Isn't the bird gun a bit too much? The Steam Age?"

"..."

The man was wounded.

My wrist was slightly scratched and my clothes were torn.

At the same time, I saw him bringing back a big bag of things.

Tubular weapons?

There is still a lot of money, probably an amount that my parents and I could never earn in our lifetime.

"Can you count? Count for me."

"…1 to 100."

"?"

"I only know how to count from 1 to 100. That's all the village teaches."

"A week's journey, and the education is so different? Huh? Which teacher teaches to use real objects to replace one, two, three? That's not how preschool is taught."

"..."

My parents said that we only needed to know numbers within 100. We wouldn't need any more than that.

"It's not okay for a product to be this stupid."

"Look. A finger can represent not only 1, but also 10 or 100."

"..."

Before that happened. Before my friends betrayed me.

Maybe it's as I get older.

For example, my parents said that when I was very young, I was not allowed to go out because of my ears and eye color, and they always told others that I was sick. With that excuse, I definitely couldn't stay in the village for long, because others would suspect I had an infectious disease.

But one day I suddenly became like an ordinary person.

My parents said that they were planning to send me away or take me somewhere else. They stayed by my bed and wiped my tears... When they woke up the next day, they saw that I had changed. They said that I seemed to understand the adults' thoughts and didn't want to leave.

I was told this because... I seem to be able to actually hear other people's thoughts. Occasionally, that is.

"Have you learned it?"

"……No."

"It seems like I am talking to a cow."

"..."

I heard.

What he's thinking about now.

[Why is it still so big after being tied up? 】

[I should have changed into the cloth clothes I had before. Isn't this even more bitter? ]

[Can you please stop putting on this expression that says you can do whatever you want? Be on guard... I thought I was being sold out, so I wasn't on guard at all.]

[How can you eat something that falls on your collar and you can't just take it off? ]

【I want to stir-fry...etc.】

[The universe is born from the dark yellow of all things, and Awaci gets... almost all of them. I love Gundam. 】

[I don't know whether to grab the baby's canteen or the ponytail when she changes to a double ponytail. I hold her up... Damn. Is there a heart-cleansing spell for sale in this world? Doesn't this thing have body lotion? How come she smells so good even after taking a bath? ]

"?"

"There's something at the collar."

I brushed the food crumbs off my chest.

"Oh. Keep learning arithmetic. Try it this time. Use 10 as the unit."

"..."

But this time I didn't hear what he was thinking.

and so.

Do you care about breasts?

Is this the key factor in evaluating whether I am valuable?

What does it mean to think I'm going to be sold? Are you planning to sell me?

What does stir-fry mean?

Do not understand.

But I probably don't need to understand. This ability that occasionally works can't make me stronger, nor can it make me go back to the past. It can't change anything, no matter where he plans to take me, who he sells me to, or what other uses he uses me for. It's not something I can refuse.

"I know."

"If it takes you several days to learn how to add a zero, you're probably mentally retarded."

"..."

Dozens of gold notes and a handful of silver notes.

When he came, he had no luggage and no one seemed to have any money.

Was it stolen?

After spending some time with him, I can roughly understand what kind of person he is.

He has no scruples, and can laugh at the life and death of others, their pain. His strength is unfathomable, and with his skills... he has probably killed many people. It is normal that the number of lives I have taken in revenge is ten times or a hundred times.

If it were the old me, I would probably have peed my pants out of fear.

"Just sleep on the floor with this quilt as a cushion."

"..."

But now I am nothing but an empty shell. I want to die but cannot. I am just an empty shell that can be slaughtered at will.
