Chapter 1034: A Day of Pigeon Cooing
Chapter 1034: A Day of Pigeon Cooing
It’s the Fishman Festival, and the fishman is celebrating, so I’m taking a day off (definitely not because of a lack of inspiration or a fake sick leave).
...A worldline that may or may not exist...
"Don’t be afraid! I’ve already made the call, she’s still safe, and she’ll be here soon to find us!"
Looking at his sister, who was huddled under the blankets, trembling in fear, the boy who had just finished making a phone call clenched his small fists and said with a determined look:
"Dad and I are both in the inn, and we will protect you!"
"But... but there are so many of them..."
After hearing the boy’s words, the little girl in the white dress emerged from under the covers, biting her lip and timidly said:
"Those townspeople with horns on their heads look so scary, and they are all so tall and strong, with wrists thicker than both of our legs combined, and they worship some great demon... uh..."
As she spoke, tears welled up in the little girl’s eyes, and she said in a sobbing voice:
"It’s all my fault! If I hadn’t wanted to see the rapeseed flower fields, Dad wouldn’t have rented a carriage to bring us to this town, and if we hadn’t come to this town, we wouldn’t have been targeted by those bad people... uh... If... If they really come to catch us and offer us to the demon..."
"Don’t worry, you don’t need to be afraid!"
Though he was also afraid, his face pale, the boy still pursed his lips and gently comforted his crying sister:
"Big brother is here with you, and Dad will be back soon. You... you don’t need to be scared... Everything will be fine..."
"Bang!"
Before the boy could finish his words, a rock the size of a fist was thrown at the window, causing the little girl to scream. The townspeople, who had built a massive bonfire in the middle of the street, became even more rampant and shouted wildly when they heard the scream.
As the townspeople laughed wildly, the bonfire’s slightly crimson light splashed around, casting elongated shadows of the people wielding weapons and howling madly, dancing on the windows of the room.
Just as the two children in the room clung to each other in panic, their faces pale and trying to hide from the dancing shadows, the empty corridor of the inn suddenly echoed with two sets of hurried and chaotic footsteps, getting closer and closer... closer and closer... until they finally stopped by the door!
"Ah!!" (x2)
"Sorry."
Seeing the children on the big bed, screaming and hugging each other, the man, holding a new cordless phone and looking slightly tired, apologized with a regretful look:
"Dad just got a sudden job and couldn’t take care of you. Your uncle was also busy..."
"No! Now is not the time to talk about this!"
Seeing Dad and Uncle at the door, the little boy, still shaken, took a deep breath, then got out of bed and retrieved a stick he had found from under the bed, his face ashen, and said:
"I found a weapon in the kitchen! We each have one, and Auntie will be here soon... Dad! Those people in the street are believers of the demon, this town is too dangerous, we must escape immediately!"
"..."
"Dad?"
"Ah? Oh, oh!"
Taking the small rolling pin covered in flour and testing it in the air, Leon couldn’t help but open his mouth and exchange a look with William, who had a "I told you so" expression, before his cheeks twitched and he responded:
"You’re right, this town with Demons is too dangerous. We must escape! Right now!"
