Orphan Survival [ENG]

Chapter 14 - Mystery

The two girls reflect for a moment.

_ Shailly: "Let's go see Kaya. " she says confidently

A frown is drawn, lips pinched.

_ Maïko: "Huh? Why her? "

_ Shailly: " I would be reassured if she validates my words. "

Her hands resting on her hips, Maiko sighs.

_ Maïko: "I don't want to see her, but if that's what you want, I'll follow you. "

A slight smile appears.

_ Shailly: "Thank you. "

Their quest proves futile. The questions asked to the villagers give no clue.

They decide to knock directly at his hut.

_ Kona: " Looking for Kaya? Sorry I don't know where she is. "

_ Shailly: "Damn..."

In the process, an idea arises.

_ Kona: "No, wait. I have a little idea. "

Shailly's pupils are dilating.

_ Shailly: " Is that true? "

_ Kona: "If you have searched everywhere and it is not found, check the training ground. "

Maïko slightly tilts her head.

_ Maïko: " One is not allowed to be there without the presence of an adult normally. "

_ Kona: "Right, but knowing her, I wouldn't be surprised. "

_ Shailly: " Thanks for the Kona info! "

_ Kona: "No worries but there is a problem? " she says curious

With a perplexed look, Shailly makes incomprehensible hand signs.

A reassuring hand gently rests on his shoulder.

_ Maïko: "We can tell him, we have nothing to hide anyway. "

Shailly stares at Maïko, the relieved spirit.

_ Shailly: "You're right. "

Then connect his pupils to Kona.

_ Shailly: " I didn't want to tell you so you wouldn't worry, but..."

The situation explained, their surprise comes alive for sure their face, frozen by the disconcerting brevity of Kona's response.

_ Shailly: " So you also noticed about Tutor Keren!? "

_ Kona: "Yes, and in my opinion, I don't think I'm alone. "

A finger on his head, a reflection is triggered.

_ Kona: "Regarding Gwen's tutor lie, I am seriously starting to have doubts about our village.

_ Maïko: "What makes you say that? "

_ Kona: "If you think about it, it's not the first lie that's made up for you. "

Hand removed from shoulder, girls hold their breath.

_ Kona: " The villagers instilled in us the idea that the Recluses are all evil people and very dangerous. Yet the tribe of Ay demonstrates the opposite. A benevolence emerges in everyone, including Ay. "

Anxiety buzzes in their minds like a swarm of bees, stinging intrusive thoughts.

_ Kona: " She would never have treated anyone else. Plus, if a recluse is supposed to be mean, why negotiate with them to rank them in our ranks? "
