Tower of Karma

“Buh, it’s good, you said well, but it’s not a good feeling.”

Al who escaped from the capital city over the sea of ​​manure. Go to the forest well away from the capital city and discover the fountain. Finally I was able to wash my body and clothes. Is it still the body’s defense function that the nose is paralyzed?

“I will pass through sewage again and again”

Sewage that was covered with an offensive odor that could not be done without cursing. I do not feel the smell falls no matter how much I wash it. In fact, it is better to throw away clothes.

“Now, buy clothes from the barbers, and from there”

The thought that was running around. However, the future has not been boiled to such a small size. The uncertainty factor is large, and there is also the case that it is the outside of the first capital city, so I came to the idea that it was useless to boil down.

“We have the basic skills to live.

What is it for five years? I prepared for everything I could. I just do the rest.

“Say hey, it’s the beginning of our journey”

Al got out of the fountain and changed into a set of traveling costumes. But-

“Sorry!”

After all, Al decided in mind that she would not go to the sewer again.

○

“No height, no body. Any age is it hard?”

Al was taking a break on the roadside of a certain highway. A little distance from the capital city, it is a convergence point of the highway connecting the capital city and the others. I’m doing an observation that it seems to be a break a little later.

By the way, I bought clothes from the street vendors on the way. He had a slightly unpleasant face, but even with feces sting coins gold is gold. It can not be used. I have a bad face.

“It’s not quite there. I can’t go over here, but if it’s too far off, it’s also necessary to correct a little bit.”

Al overshadows his face with a little confidence.

“That’s it. Only this ………?”

A certain person came into my eyes, ahead of Al’s eyes.

“Height, figure, age, perfect condition. The rest, depending on the country of origin.

Al raised her hips and began to walk behind the star.

“Hello, nice to meet you. Can you borrow the fire?”

Suddenly a voiced young man looks at the other party with surprise eyes. I could probably understand what was said in this word, but I could not hear it well.

“…? Oh, I, I, Mada, Kotoba, Muzkashii”

“Oh, where are you from?”

The opposing man talked slowly so as to convey a little bit.

“… Rusitania”

You are probably being asked the name of your hometown. So the young man answered. However, I do not think that the other party knows. The guy who meets the plan is entertained. Adolescents sighing-

“You came from far away. Welcome to Arcadia

“!?”

The young man who was suddenly talked in his native language and was surprised at the other hand.

“I am also traveling a little, and I am familiar with foreign languages ​​for a while. Oh, I asked if you would like to borrow the fire earlier. ”

“Well, please”

The adolescent is astonished. From here, Lusitania is beyond many countries. Moreover, it is a small country that can not be compared with Arcadia, which is one of the Seven Kingdoms. Even knowing things is a surprise, but it is outside the youth’s mind to speak words.

“Oh, it’s great to travel as long as you are here.”

“No, I am not at all. Foreign languages ​​are so proficient in the same year than that. I think you are a better person. ”

“I think Lusitania is more famous than you think. Wooden crafts are popular with these nobles, and Lusitania is a few steps away from other countries in herbal medicine. It is said that in the smithing field, it will make an unparalleled sword in another country. It’s a great country. ”

The boy seemed to be relieved little by little by the smiling man.

“Oh, if you say so, you have not yet introduced yourself. My name is Norman. You? ”

‘I am William. Regards, Norman

The young man, William, was completely forgiving. Such a man named Norman was a man with mysterious charm. The same age is also great. Anyway, I feel like that, William started thinking so.

“Why is Norman traveling? ”

“I agree. I want to see the wide world, travel. It just is not sweet. I was troubled with eating, and I did something like a treasure hunt.

“Treasure hunt! ? Great! Could you tell me a story! ? ”

Norman smiles at William’s biting. Whether it was a bit embarrassing, William turned red.

“it does not matter. I agree. That’s the Seven Kingdoms-

Two people who talked over the night. In a state of complete resolution, a couple of days later, we headed to the capital city together.

○

A wagon passes by next to two people. Suddenly William saw Norman’s head.

“By the way, Norman. Why are you doing bandana? ”

Two people who have deepened to the middle of calling already abandoned.

“I have a lot of gray hair. It doesn’t look very good. ”

“Your young gray hair? In my hometown, it is said that if there are many young gray hair, it will be healthy. Red hair like me is said to be a sign of good luck. ”

“Hmm, that’s my first ear. Well then, let’s remove the bandana when we stopped at Lusitania. ”

“At that time I will guide”

“Thank you”

William was convinced at this time. I’m sure that I will be successful with the capital city of Arcadia. Because I made so many friends.

“Can we be friends? ”

“I thought I was a friend for a long time”

That being said, William smiled full face.

○

It’s still cold at night this season. The two approached the fire and surpassed the cold.

“I have a fiancee. I wanted to be a good man for her and I came here. It’s my dream to come up with my hometown.

William begins speaking with the bonfire.

“She says she only wants to marry a strong man. So I decided to go on a journey. But if she’s a girl, she should cry before I go on a journey. Don’t go, Toka. It is selfish. But I was glad I knew I was liked. The rest is just raising martial arts! ”

“Fianse, is that a house rich? ”

William thinks a little.

“Hm, I think it’s a rich one, but there is nothing like a royal capital of the Seven Kingdoms, it’s a boring place with only forests and mountains.”

“I see. I want to go there once

“come together! Norman is very welcome! ”

The story boils. A little more than a capital city. But there is no concern for William. Such things have been scraped away at last. All thanks to the friend, Norman.

○

The journey I walked with for a few days is almost over. It will reach the royal capital by around noon tomorrow.

William was alive with a little sad feeling.

“Are you going to leave your seat for a while? ”

“Where are you going? ”

Norman stands up in the dark.

“Well, it’s a treasure hunt. It seems that the thief’s treasure is buried under the tree in that forest. It is already said that the thief had been executed in another country and only the treasure remained there. ”

William makes the eyes shine. It is the appearance that said curiosity.

“Do you go with me? ”

“Yup! ”

Norman smiled smiley to William’s immediate answer.

Two people off the highway to the forest. Of course there were no people passing, only the darkness ruled this place.

“This is the place. You have to dig in there, so please wait. ”

Norman took out a tool to dig a hole and plunged it into the ground. Zakuzaku, Zakuzaku. A wet land can not be dug without much effort.

“Well, it’s pretty hard work”

Norman who looked tired. William who just looked at it and was looking up stood up.

“I also help. Instead of Norman

“Thank you. Let’s do it by turns. ”

William who began to dig. Norman digs surprisingly fast.

“I used to play in the mountains since I was a child. I’m good at something like this. ”

William digs in with tremendous force. Norman is on hand in reverse.

“By the way William. Did you leave your luggage on the bonfire? ”

“Em eh ho … No, I brought something important to you here, right? ”

“Hey, what’s important? ”

“Em eh ho, uh, money, of course, and the sword that my father created for me, and the ID card. If it is possible to get rid of it, it will be manageable with those three. ”

“Oh, are you sure you want to see a little bit of the forged Lusitania sword, who is also a blacksmith kingdom? ”

“It does not matter. By the way, where should I dig this? ”

“A little more.”

Norman fished his luggage and found a sword. Then he found a parchment beside him, and the corner of Norman went up.

“Eh, how are you? ”

“It is still. Oh, this is great. It’s a very beautiful sword. ”

An ugly white-bladed sword. How much money would you need if you were to get this in Arcadia? Even nobles can not have such a sword. Norman is fascinated by the combination of beauty and toughness.

“Right! My father does not have the arms of his sword, but sword smiths are first class. By the way? I already dug quite a bit. Maybe another place? ”

After digging, a hole that is likely to be inserted by one person is made, yet the treasure does not appear.

“No, there should be no doubt. I’m sure it’s coming soon. ”

“Is that so? It should be easier to dig in places where people have digged. I’m sorry Norman, I got a little tired. May I take a turn? ”

William speaks to Norman behind.

“Yes, I understand. I will replace it. ”

William looks back at passing the digging tool-

“Always, from now on”

Beautiful white silver was crawling on William’s abdomen. A masterpiece made by his own father. That pierces William. William did not understand. The disaster that fell upon me.

“why? ”

William is upset. Numerism and blood fall from the sword.

“Why Norman is me! ? ”

He was stabbed, and William was unbelievable. I thought I was a friend. I believed I was a close friend. From now on, I was convinced that a bright future was waiting for two people.

“Kuku, Norman, right? First of all, I am not Norman. ”

A man named Norman leaves the bandana. The fluffy white chalky. White reflected in the moonlight may seem even more beautiful than usual. But now only fear comes to mind. The face of the man combined

“My name is William. I will give you a message. Rejoice, your name spreads to this world, and your presence goes over Arcadia. I will raise martial arts. So you die. ”

A white-haired man pounces William on the blade. It was beaten to protect William, which cut off the meat of William. The right arm dances.

“Yes, I do not know the meaning! ? We were friends! Well, I didn’t think so! ”

Shout William. But the voice does not reach anyone. There is nothing to live in this forest. And it is well away from the highway. William’s grief does not reach anyone. Even the man in front of you-

‘A friend, a friend? No, maybe not. I hate you and I will surely not like you forever. ”

William’s eyes were opened to despair.

“We can see the blessed environment, loved and raised. There are also families and fiances. Such luxury, such happiness, “We” can not forgive you! ”

In addition, white silver is grinned. William’s left arm danced. The scream of William does not sound in front of the man either. Such a heart shattered five years ago.

“Happiness should have been important! I shouldn’t aim for something higher like this! If you misread the pottery, you’re going to die somewhere. So you thank me. As you wish, I will make your name visible in this world! ”

William’s consciousness was gradually becoming cloudy. Blood Yuku flow endlessly from the wound. My life falls off. The friendship with Norman, the conviction to the future falls down.

“Oh, I will teach you along the way. The story of Treasure Hunt is all about receiving books, and Norman is the name of the owner who sold the book, and —

The white devil kicked William. William falls in the “hole”.

“That’s your grave. We’re alone! ! ”

Already a decent thought had disappeared from William. The memory of my hometown was happy to be there. They rush around their heads. An important memory with my fiancee. A conversation with your family without love. Memories of brothers, sisters, and mountains-

“Oops, the neck is sticking out William”

White silver cut William’s neck to cut it off.

“Goodbye William. I am grateful to you. ”

The rolling neck is already a dead body. Gripping his red hair, the man threw his neck into the hole.

“Huh, surprisingly … it’s easy to cut. Or is this a good sword?”

Returning to the language of his own country, the man felt a sense of breaking his life and humanity.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’m amazed. I thought that the first time I killed with my own hands, my heart hurts more … yeah, nothing.”

A man with a plain expression looked like that something was broken.

Pick up pieces of “William” scattered around the hole and put them into the hole. After erasing all the marks, it greatly increased.

“Well, I’m from here. I’ll be able to get up in that country, it’s a big game of the 1st generation that it took.

I start to put soil in the hole. There is no expression on that face.

Another gray-haired man, Al, piled up his work (karma).
