Spearman’s Growth Story

“Oh! Zhao Huang big brother is the best!”

Flicking a small fist happily, Riko hugged Zhao Huang’s arm and stopped letting go.

The more so that no matter what requirements can be met, the more fear filled her heart.

The gesture of being happy and coquettish is just a performance that’s all.

Even after six months of this life, sometimes Riko still thinks that she is living in a dream.

――When I wake up, I am actually still in the all black, no daylight basement. The small cage is all the world, and I will always eat and drink only carrion and muddy water. The reason why I dream of all this now is just seeing an illusion when I am hungry.

The girl’s small heart was held tightly by such fear.

Like living in a fragile dream, the girl enjoys Zhao Huang’s care trembling with fear.

The reason to take care of yourself and so on is not necessary at all. In any case, he is also impossible to be worse than [that person].

Moreover, this six months has been enough for Lizi to trust Zhao Huang. The Ling Zhou on the back of her hand had become the second precious thing in her life.

As for the precious thing first, it is now being strung with thin threads and hung around her neck.

That is the cross that she had to hold in her mouth anyway in the past and would never take it out.

The fact that this cross can be hung around her neck is proof that the girl trusts Zhao Huang enough.

After buying the children’s clothing, Zhao Huang held it up in front of Riko and gestured to the girl’s figure.

“Um…In this case, it should work. The remaining materials are enough.”

Including the skirt Riko is wearing, almost all of her clothes have passed Zhao Huang’s “retrofit”.

Relying on a little experience in sewing clothes by himself in the past, relying on actions that are many times more accurate than in the past, and knowledge obtained from the Internet, Zhao Huang can do this kind of thing.

As long as Riko’s request is not excessive, he will really do it meticulously.

In the past six months, he even picked up his ordinary cooking skills.

While holding a bag with clothes and other necessities in one hand and Riko in the other hand, facing the sunset, the two set out on their way home.

At six in the afternoon, Zhao Huang is about to go to work.

The well-behaved Riko also knows this, so not at all shows too much nostalgia for the outside world.

Walking side by side on the wide road with no one, Riko narrowed his eyes as if feeling very comfortable.

“Big brother…If this kind of day can last forever, then how great…”

The faint voice came out of his lips, as if no one could Hear.

“If you want.”

However, Zhao Huang still heard it. He responded with a steady voice as always.

To accompany Riko all his life and so on, it is basically impossible without a magician.

However, there is absolutely no problem in helping Riko grow up enough to live the way he is now with her own strength.

“No, what big brother you said is not the same life as Riko said.”

The girl shook the head.

“…One day, you will leave me, right? Guardian, just like the kind of magic in the Cinderella story you told me, it will disappear when time is up Right?”

The voice trembled slightly, and Riko hugged Zhao Huang’s arm tightly.

Her body is also shaking.

The happier she is, the less she can forget the truth she knows.

It’s only been half a year, and she doesn’t want to lose Zhao Huang at all.

The existence of Zhao Huang fills in the things she once lost.

If he were a real big brother, that would be great.

If she has a big brother, then she won’t need to be adopted by [that person], and she won’t have to suffer more than three years of imprisonment. She can live in happiness like other girls of the same age.

However, Riko knew that after all, people have to face reality.

The fact that it is useless to escape, she knew as long as she stayed in the cage.

Rather than deceiving herself, she wants to use the truth to give up her heart.

Dream, after all, there will be a day to wake up.

“…”

Stopping, Zhao Huang squatted down, letting himself and Riko look up.
