Chapter 395: 46 - 少女と、行方 ５

Mr. Athos.

A kind person.

A very kind person whom I love.

That person is right in front of me, a corpse that doesn't say a word. ......Ah, I thought.

Ragged. Mr. Athos, you're covered in scars. They did that to him. Mr. Athos, I am sad. I can't hear his voice anymore, I can't see him anymore. I am sad. I am in pain. Why must Athos suffer like this? Why?

With a heart full of sadness, I watch Athos' corpse being burned in the fire. I heard that it was a ceremony to send Mr. Athos to the sky.

I am sad.

Why did Mr. Athos do this?

Without understanding, the adults are moving while I, Gaius, and the other children are frozen. They said we should move immediately from our beloved village.

They had gone to find Mr. Athos, everyone was safe. The griffons brought us back. When Gaius and I returned, Mr. Lan hugged me. Everyone told me they were glad I was safe. They told me that I was lucky. Athos is dead. I would never see Mr. Athos again. But... he said that it was still a blessing that Athos was the only one who survived while the human world was still in motion. They all said it bitterly. The truth is, it could have been a much more serious sacrifice. But I understood that everyone was saddened by Athos' death. Even if we could agree in our heads that it was fortunate that only one person was sacrificed, we were all saddened by Athos' passing because he was important to all of us.

Everyone is sad. They are in pain. We all have that look on our faces.

But unlike us children who were just sad, everyone was moving even though they were sad. With Lan-san pulling me by the hand, I left the beastman's village where I had spent some time. Even for me, who had only spent a short while there, it was lonely. After this, I had to tear down my house and burn down all the fields I had worked so hard to take care of so that the things that attacked me when the village was attacked would not have the village to themselves. The things I loved are gone. Sad. I am sad. But I am sure that the Gaius who were in the village must have suffered more than I did.

"......, Mr. Lan."

I squeezed Ran's hand.

The Gaius, who was not here at all, was being pulled by Dong's hand.

The griffons and seafoats were keeping a close watch on the area. We are moving south through the forest. I hear that the south part of the forest is untouched land. I hear there are a lot of demons there. So it could be a scary place. But ...... we can't keep going this way, he says. If things stay the same, we may all die.

I think, "Oh.

It's painful and sad.

"Athos......, why must we die?"

I think, "Why did the ...... humans kill Mr. Athos, I think it was because he was a beastman. There are those who recognize that because he was a beast ......, it is okay to kill him. And perhaps they were going to hurt Mr. Athos to get the location of the beastman's village and attack him. Mr. Athos did not tell. I think they killed him because he didn't tell them. ......"

"Because he didn't tell us."

"...... Mr. Athos protected us, you know. Athos protected us with his life. I'm sure. And, Lelunda, perhaps the reason we haven't found the village in such an obvious place ...... is because you are a godchild."

The last words were so small that only I could hear them.

Kamiko.

Because you were a godchild. That's why that village was never found, Ran-san said.

I wonder if I really am such a being. If I was such a being, why did Athos have to die? Because I was a godchild, the village was not found. And everyone did not die. That would be a good thing. But Athos is gone. I can't protect everything. ...... It's sad, no matter how many times I think about it.

How could he do such a terrible thing just because he is a beastman?

No, I can't believe that they can do such a terrible thing to a "human" without thinking about beast or human. I don't know how they can do such a sad thing.

"I don't want to be ...... sad."

"Yes, I ...... don't want to be sad.

I don't want to be sad.

Sad. I'm in pain. I miss Mr. Athos. Whenever I notice it, tears are flowing. I always feel like crying.

I ......, sad, I want to not. I don't want to never see the people I love again. I don't want to.

If I had been left alone, I might not have been able to bear it. I would have been sad and bitter. But ......, when I see everyone who is sad and bitter, but still trying their best to lead us, I know I can't just be sad.

I ...... can and will do what I ...... can for that."

If I, if I am truly a godchild, then I can protect them if I try hard enough. If I do what I can do, more to the best of my ability, I will never lose it again.

I thought of that as I walked along holding Lan's hand.

----The Girl and the Missing 5

(Perhaps a godchild girl sees the death of a close beastman and thinks about many things)
