Chapter-43
This was the first time I was outside of this world's city. The rural area of this area is not that different from our world. The difference is they can use magic that made their daily life comfortable. What that I was thought, however,
"Every day they live of uncertainty. You do not when they will attack you. Magical beast, bandit, and the other country's enemy."
Elina told me. By the way, Monkey King and Elina were with me. We are in a carriage which was arranged by the King, however, it's not an expensive one because King doesn't want me to have more attention than usual. In this carriage I and Elina only here. Monkey King was on his flying nimbus.
"Yes, that is true. This world is magical after all."
Come to think of it the Royal City was protected by the huge wall as well as surrounded by guards in every possible way around those walls. That is why it will be a rare case if the monster will attack if it isn't strong foes or foes from inside.
"How many days it will take to reach there?"
"One day and one night full and few hours."
Elina replied.
"I see."
Saying that I looked at the road that we left behind. In the far away I can still see the royal capital because the capital is in high place than the rural areas.
"No matter where you go, classification exists. It isn't a bad thing, but sometimes it gives people to desire for more, those desires sometimes become the source of crimes and rebellion and that one little rebellion can destroy and re-create a country. The despair, pain, and suffering exist in every world, country, city, and village."
I told her.
"There is nothing you can do. In order to survive you need a head who can guide you to the path. It is a good thing until another lion is born in the same forest. Because only one lion can become the ruler of the jungle, we need to accept that in order to survive. And then when the classification began to not to cause unnecessary futility from the new lion from the future. And that becomes a system or fate, that no one can avoid."
Elina replied.
"Is that so?"
After that, we didn't talk about the state of this world's people and system. We chat about the different and normal things, in the midst of that, I told her many of our countries history and stories, especially from the modern world.
Midst of that, I saw a few children who are looks like suffering from hunger. I gave them cookies which were made by Esha. They ate it with great joy. It made me satisfied.
"Don't do that. It will cost heavily for them. It's good that no one is here. However, if there was someone here you would have seen the reality."
Elina said. What the heck she was talking about? Did she mean, noble of this area will get angry if I show mercy to them, which may look like make them that they are incompetent rulers? Well, even though no matter what I cannot eat in peace while seeing these children craving for food. This would have traumatized me.
"Na... Na... Relax nothing bad will happen."
I told her. I saw another similar village where children were in hunger. I also gave them cookies. This time Elina said nothing to me to stop.
However, suddenly few people attack them and took those cookies from them while crushing them. I don't know if they are dead or alive. However, I don't think they are in a good state. When I tried to exit from the carriage Elina stopped me and told me to,
"Wait and see."
When those villagers noticed us, they run towards us like zombies while screaming, I cannot take their screaming words clearly in my head, it was just loud screaming.
"This is bad. Why are they like that?"
From the sky, Sun Wukong throw his spear on the ground which was between us and those villagers. It made a barrier surrounding them, and then he retrieve his spear.
The carriage driver makes it faster, to run away from here as soon as possible.
"Extreme hunger makes them lose their sanity. They aren't themselves anymore. They are just hungry monsters."
Elina replied.
"Then why our King isn't doing anything to them?"
I asked where even I can notice anger on my throat. After all, I was the reason for the situation that happened just now.
"The several rules were made to keep them healthy with foods. However, how many will obey the King? And how many people can be noticed by the King when that great pandemic like those devil is appearing. This is reality. Even in your world, not all ruler can keep their vessel and their people in check. Am I right or am I wrong?"
No, she is right. Seeing that, I got silent, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
At night I was looking at the open sky's stars and was thinking about the future plan, and I don't know when I got asleep.
When I woke up it was already the morning, and I saw a blanket on my body. I can't help but smile seeing this cliche dramatic "blanket appear in the morning when I woke up" event.
Elina was making tea from the hitter, the carriage was not running now. I guess at one point they stop the carriage and take a rest for the night while I was sleeping. She gave tea to me.
"Thank you."
I thanked her. This morning's tea made me refreshed.
Sun Wukong also came back from somewhere and sat beside me, while taking tea from Elina.
"In the far away, I saw Walton's armies are waiting for us."
His sudden voice made me surprised.
"What, why army?"
I asked him.
"Because they are making a story where you were found in a village as an ignorant youngster when armies were passing for the war, and then you join them because it was your dream to become a military man when you revealed your Sharingan with dramatic fashion, Craig Walton, your father recognized you as the Loki Walton his lost son, who they thought he is dead."
I see so, that was the story. But what here is also Loki again? Now then I think about it, Sun Wukong knew about the Sharingan that I have, he just act like he don't know.
After our rest was done we pack up. And met my so-called fake father. When I met that man, I was surprised because he was similar to my face, or should I say he was looking like my real father, and that twist made me unable to think anything right, and I followed him to his carriage....
