Re: Zero, The Witch and the Sage

Part 13: The unknown entity

The woman looked at her surroundings, most of the people were drunk and others were still drinking despite the situation, others were sending glances in their direction but quickly averted them, while others went on their daily lives as if a corpse of a little girl isn't even there

The woman knew how the world works, weak creatures like the little girl are bound to be toyed by those who are more powerful than her, that's just how the lives of those who live in the darkness work, situations like these are the norm here

But still.....

Though the adults that are living in the darkness are beyond saving, she still thought that the children still have a chance to live in the light so she was a bit saddened at the situation of the girl

The woman then carried the corpse of the little girl away from the road and gently put it down on the side of the road

The woman realizing what she did, let out a small chuckle

"Though this isn't really much.....at least your body won't be stepped upon by their filthy boots"

The woman then patted the head of the little girl and said

"You were about Meili's age too......sleep well, you're finally free from this cruel world"

After saying this the woman stood up and looked at the sky bright sky

"I hope she's having fun right now....."

and continued walking towards her destination

The woman walked the sad streets before stopping in front of a run-down two-story house owned by her

"This is...."

The woman sensed an unfamiliar presence inside the house, though it wasn't really that good looking, the house that she owned was like a mansion compared to the others in the slums so thieves would usually try and break-in

She then took one of the multiple knives that she had been hiding secretly at her body,

The woman grasped the door and thought about what would she do once she opened it

'This person is quite an Amateur if he was thinking of ambushing me without hiding their presence, so it's safe to assume that it was just some poor sob who chose the wrong house to rob...but I could be wrong... I should disarm them first and interrogate them afterward'

After organizing her thoughts, Elsa quickly opened the door and saw an unfamiliar young man with black hair and intimidating eyes who was wearing quite the unfamiliar clothing. the man was sitting comfortably at one of the two chairs in the room which ticked Elsa for a bit

She quickly ran towards him and pointed the knife into his bowels and whispered in his ears

"It's rude to enter one's house without permission you know? and to sit so comfortably while doing so is really bold of you. can you tell me your name?"

The young man stared with eyes that were devoid of any fear at Elsa and looked around at the place before replying

"I was expecting it to be a filthy house when I first saw you came out of it last time when I was with felt but.....contrary to its outside appearance it's quite neet huh?"

The young man said in a tone that is filled with familiarity as if he and the woman were acquaintances

The woman squinted her eyes and analyzed the man. At first glance the man seemed weak, he doesn't possess the certain aura that the strong have so If the woman so desires, she could slice his bowels right now and grant him a painful death, the young man should also know this.
