Roams 13

The black hair boy was quite perseverance.

Even with such a bad wounds, he still is lively and kicking. Not losing his conciousness at all. His head is profusedly bleeding as well.

Illi took out the 'miraculous' healing pill again.

"You eat this, it will heal your wound"

The black hair boy does not question, he immediately took the pill and swallow it.

Illi does not know whether to say that he is quite bold or just plain ignorant. But she like it.

"He is really cooperative, unlike you who is all but fighting back and being suspicious"

Illi quitely whisper to the little cub ear.

The child does not respond, he just clutch Illi robe tightly.

They were in the inn, at the room they rent.

"Darling, does this child have anything you took interest in for you to save him?"

Eli whisper in Illi ear.

He knows her character quite well. No interest then no involvement.

"No, my family child want him to be saved and I don't want to teach the child a bad thing. His three world view is still in the  development state" Illi whisper back.

Eli silently gaze at Illi.

Illi felt a bit jipperdy with his continous giving 'the eye'.

"What?" she could not help but questioned confusedly.

"Really? Three world view? You? Teaching?"

"What is wrong with me forming a normal three world view for him?"

Illi was a bit irritated and snarl back quietly at Eli snide dead-pan remark.

"Anyone but you dear. Anyone but you"

Illi choose to ignore the snickering Eli.

There was a plate of food at the table. The black hair boy glance at it and was immediately attracted.

"Can I eat it?"

He was honest and frank, and his plain expression is... Urh... Plain?

"Go on, help yourself"

Illi smile and encourage.

The black hair boy immediately without giving a care for the world wolf down all the food.

His appetite was large and was able to finished shortly.

"Do you want another?" Illi hesitatingly asked.

The food the black hair boy ate was enough to fill three adults ah!

The black hair boy nod his head and in a plaintive expression "Please"

Illi order another three adult portion of food.

The boy wolf down like a hungry ghost that have been starved for 1000 years.

The three people at the room just silently watch him.

Once the boy finished eating Illi asked whether he still want more.

"That will be it for now, thank you"

"Uh-huh"

The boy then started to seriously gaze at Eli.

Then his gaze shift to the little cub. Their gaze colliding in mid-air. Oh.. The atmosphere was a bit tense..

The boy then finally land his gaze on Illi and then her hair that was of black and white.

Illi just raise her brow.

The boy suddenly kneel down in front of her which let Illi to raise her brow higher.

"Please take me in. I will work like a cow or a dog for you as long as you feed me enough food to eat"

His flat expression held a flim of seriousness for the first time since entering the room.

"Ho-ho, aren't you afraid that we might be bad people?"

Illi tease. The people of this world, she noticed, are interesting in a cutely way..

"As long as I am feed until I am full"

"Yara... I really don't have a use for you"

The boy was fully prostrating infront of Illi hearing her smiling tone, but her eyes is indifferent.

Children are more sensitive to emotion than people might think, not to mention children who have struggled at the lowest level of society.

When it came to children, Illi was a bit tolerant and soft-hearted? Maybe...

Feeding one or two mouth is really not that hard, and her conscience will hurt a bit if she ignore it when she can easily feed a mouth.

Maybe it is time to take in a real assistant. X Y and Z are good but they are under her only when they are about 18 years old and already mature.

Illi could not teached them as much as she want it to be.

Training from young age is good.

She could modify them however she want. Of course, Illi was looking on the perspective of a mechanic engineer. The boy as a robots she can shape shift or change and mold the personality and their ability however she want it to be.

"Hmm... I guess I could accept you"

The black hair boy lips raise in a shallow arc before it resume his flat expression.

The little cub however, his lips were pressed in a thin line.

He want to tell Illi to not take in the boy.

He was better.

He can do whatever the boy will be able to do and much better than him.

He is enough and Illi does not need to land her attention on other boys.

But his mouth refused to open.

For he clearly knew, he does not have the authority or more like, he is not on the same level as Illi, to protest her choice and decision.

He was also just one of the children she take in.

"I have a sister, I cannot leave her alone"

Illi gaze at the boy, her eyes narrow a bit but soon smile.

"You sly little boy, fine... Lets go fetch your sister"

The boy flatly nod his head.

His new master is easy to let her compromise.

Even then, the boy does not want to offend her.

He can feel it, the aura of death and despair that was emiting out of Illi. He feel it in a spiritual sense and that the death and despair blend perfectly with Illi as if it was meant to be.

It was a dilapidated slum area.

There was a cute and lovely little girl whose white dress was coated with blood.

The little girl was repeatedly stabbing a cute little bunny with a blunt knife.

Of course,the bunny was no longer cute as it was bloody with a battered body.

She has an angel like smile everytime she stab the bunny.

Yep, a cute and lovely child indeed.

Illi silently thought.

The cute and lovely child turn when she heard a noise.

She halt her action when seeing her brother.

She stood up and sweetly call out : "Brother"

The boy nod his head slightly with a flat expression.

They were those kind of siblings that look extremely alike if you ignore the fact that the male have black hair and black pupils while the female have white hair and white pupils.

She is not blind.

"Big brother, why do you come with two big sister?"

Her eyes held a curious gaze. She first check out Eli but soon lost her interest but when it land on Illi, her eyes started to sparkle as if finding something she really like.

"This is our new master, we have to follow and obey whatever she says. We won't starve anymore"

The black hair boy flatly informed.

The little girl then pitter patter towards Illi and immediatly hug her with her blood filled hands.

"Master" She adjust herself abnormally fast.

"Master, I like your smell, it was full of despairing soul. The fragnance of torture, I like it very much"

She smile sweetly while looking up from her position. Her words and action are always in stark contrast comparing to her angelic face and sweet smile.

"You pick up two unique creature"

Eli slightly comment beside Illi, it was not a compliment.

"Big sister, of course I am unique and special"

The little girl was a bit talkative, she glance proudly at Eli.

Eli rap the little girl head.

"I am a big brother, but it cannot be blamed. My beauty have trespassed the line of gender afterall" Eli flap his fan, not offended by the little girl taking him as a female at all.

Nocturnus was highly suspected of suffering from Narcissus Syndrome.

"Unique? I don't know about that but I pick up the perfect assistant"

Illi smilingly state.
