I’m the Main Character’s Child

‘The market…….’

Markets where you can buy and sell people are strictly illegal in the empire.

Judging by the attitude of the men who seemed familiar with it, it was clear that they were operating secretly.

She immediately focused on the man’s pants right in front of her.

She prayed for good luck while remembering how to use the magic she had with wooden dolls.

“Don’t laugh so hard!”

“Ack!”

She was nervous because it was her first-time using magic directly on a person, but fortunately, she succeeded.

She ran with all her might while her eyes were on the man who lost his balance and fell.

“Where are you going kid?”

The sober men quickly followed closely behind. Once again, she used her magic and knocked the man down.

“Argh!”

However, since she has not yet learned how to do it twice in a row, she can only do it one at a time.

‘If it goes on like this, I’ll get caught!’

Before long, the man finally caught her in the back.

“I got you! Argh!”

At that moment, a light came out of the necklace around her neck. The man who grabbed the back of her head had convulsions as if he had been electrocuted and soon fainted.

‘The necklace that Teacher Teto gave me…… he said there was a protective spell in it.’

She deeply appreciated Teto’s work.

When their colleague collapsed, the two men who followed her faltered and couldn’t approach.

This was an opportunity to instill doubt with conviction.

“If you touch me, you’ll be like this. If you want to die, come at me.”

She kicked the man’s hand who fainted and shouted proudly. She prayed that the men would be scared and go like this.

This is because the protective magic on the necklace given by Teto was just one time.

“Ugh, what have you done to me…….”

To make matters worse.

The man who had fainted at her feet is coming to his senses, grabbing her by the ankles.

It didn’t happen again when he touched her, the men who were on guard began to approach her.

‘Oh, I’m screwed.’

She felt dizzy. It was a time where she was at a loss as to how to get out of this predicament.

Flop down.

The two men who were approaching with insidious smiles suddenly collapsed helplessly and fell on the floor.

“What?”

The man who was holding her by the ankle staggered up and shouted in surprise at his fallen companions.

“You little…….”

The man seemed to think it was her again this time.

But this time she didn’t do anything.

The angry man reached out to her.

“You’re a little kid with tricks!”

“Ah.”

At that moment, the moonlight sank and her eyes were drawn to the shining golden hair. It was the hair of the man who appeared behind him.

After a blow to his neck, the man was thrown straight to the floor.

In the blink of an eye, the three men fell down. She was blinded by the protagonist standing in front of her.

“You don’t have the strength to protect your body…… Why did you come to this place alone?”

The voice of the man in the robe rang in the narrow alley.

It was a childish voice of a child who had not yet grown up.

“……Thank you for saving me.”

Surprised to learn that the rescuer was quite young, but at the same time, her tension was relieved and legs also relaxed.

She slumped down the street and shook her head.

‘If he didn’t help…….’

It was a situation she didn’t even want to think about. As the child said, she didn’t have the strength to protect herself.

What’s the point of having so much mana? If you can’t use it properly, it’s useless in times of danger like now.

“Hold me. I’ll take you to the center of the square.”

The child approached her, who was sitting down, and reached out.

It was a small hand. With this small hand, which is clear to be a child, he instantly defeated three big men.

“How old are you?”

She grabbed the child’s hand and got up. When she stood up, he was about a stone taller than she was. It was about the same height as Fay.

“Why are you curious about that? There’s no need to know because we won’t see each other again.”

The benefactor’s mouth was not a very kind type.

“No, haven’t we seen each other before? I think there’s something…….”

As he flew through the air and knocked the men out, the golden hair sticking out through the robes kept coming to her mind.

“……I don’t know what you mean. I’ve never seen you before.”

The child was silent for a while and strongly denied it, saying that he had never done so.

The child’s hands, still holding her, had calluses and dark scars in places.

It’s obvious that he’s my age, but I’m surprised how he’s been living with this soft skin with calluses and scars.

“Stop touching me!”

She was unconsciously squeezing the child’s hand.

The child’s voice was full of embarrassment.

The child cough a few time and fixed his hood firmly.

In between, golden threads sprang out again.

I’m sure I saw you somewhere …….

“I remember!”

The first day she went to the square with Cardin. It looked exactly like the hair of the child she encountered in the alley at that time.

She remembered it for quite a long time, perhaps because it was so pure blond hair.

Come to think of it, I think the kid was wearing a hoodie like this…….

“W, what do you remember? Let’s just go fast.”

“No, I’ve seen you before. We ran into each other in the alley last time. This hair! This blonde hair, I remember it clearly!”

Listening to him, she was convinced. Blonde hair with such brilliant purity was never common.

“……it doesn’t make any difference.”

The following child’s answer put a period of conviction in her doubts.

“Well, there’s still a connection between people. We bumped into each other back then, then we met again today”

The child stuck to a feisty attitude throughout.

However, she has been trained countless times for his toughness and bluntness while staying with Cardin, and this was nothing but cute.

“No, I mean, can’t we just know each other’s names? Maybe we can meet again.”

“…… that’s not gonna happen.”

The child’s demeanor has eased off a lot. She could not miss an opportunity when she saw a gap.

“Call me Liel!”

“…… call me Ad. That’ll do.”

The benefactor had a surprisingly cute name.

She should know the name of her benefactor, so she thanked Ad from the bottom of her heart.

“Yeah. Thanks again, Ad.”

“Well, it’s nothing…….”

Ad fiddled with the sleeves of his hood for no reason.

She couldn’t see his face because he was covered by the robe deeply, but she knew that Ad felt quite awkward with this situation.

“Let’s really go back now. This is an alleyway where security guards don’t come.”

[DO NOT SHARE/REPOST OUR TRANSLATIONS READ ONLY AT MOONLIGHT NOVELS]

Ad pointed in one direction of the alley and explained that if you keep walking straight, you will find the main road.

“Yeah, but hold on.”

She approached the men scattered in the corner of the alley.

“When do they wake up?”

“I knocked them out by hitting their neck, so they’ll wake up in about three hours.”

That was enough.

She clenched her fist and hit the man’s nose.

As she repeatedly hit more and more because her anger was not relieved, a sound of pain erupted from the mouth of the fainted man.

“Argh…”

The men next to him made the same noise. Sweat trickled down her forehead as she swung her fists several times.

“Argh….”

She shook her fist satisfactorily before I got up.

“Ad.”

“……, uh, why?”

When she quietly called out his name, he answered, feeling nervous and stuttered.

“These guys, we can’t just leave them like this. I can’t drag them with me, so we have to immobilize them.”

They were criminals who openly tried to kidnap a young child.

I will surely make you pay for your sins.

At her words, Ad looked around and found a thin rope.

“Let’s tie them up.”

She didn’t know how to tie a knot tightly, so she asked Ad for help.

For some reason, she thought he could easily do a solid knot that wouldn’t untie easily.

“Oh, Okay.….”

As expected, Ad showed a knot that seemed so hard to undone at a glance.

She was watching from the side and tied the last one herself.

“But you…”

“What?”

“Oh, no, it’s just…… I thought you were unexpectedly calm.”

[DO NOT SHARE/REPOST OUR TRANSLATIONS READ ONLY AT MOONLIGHT NOVELS]

Ad, who was watching her tie the hands of the fallen man with a calm face, murmured, scratching his head.

“Hmm, do you think I’ll just sit in front of you and cry?”

She thought he was worried about her, so she spoke with a small smile.

“I’m just holding it in. If I cry now… I don’t think I can move.”

Looking down at the men who fainted in an ugly manner, she quietly opened her mouth.

She was now calmer and more rational than ever. Like a calm lake that doesn’t cause a wave.

Rather, she thought it was fortunate that Ad didn’t ask her if she was okay.

She felt incompetent and loss. She didn’t want to say she’s okay when she’s not.

She just… didn’t like it.

“Let’s go now.”

He raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

She thought Ad was looking at her for a moment, and soon he took the lead and stepped forward.

She no longer smells the musty scent of the alley. 

‘No, I think I’ve got used to it.’

It didn’t matter either way. She just wanted to get out of this dark and damp alley as soon as possible.

How long did we walk? The buzz of people was drawing nearer.

Ad, who was walking earlier, stopped and pointed his fingertips to the front and spoke.

“Walk straight this way. Then the fountain in the square will come out right away.”

“What about you? Aren’t you going with me?”

When she heard that she had to walk alone again in the alley, she grabbed Ad’s robe sleeve.

“It’s all right, I’ll be behind you. You’ll be protected as soon as you get to the central square.”

Ad’s voice became softer. It seemed he used a soothing tone for her, who seemed anxious.

“All right….”

She put down Ad’s sleeve and walked forward alone.

The alleys that continued all the way seemed to be endless even if she walked and walked.

She was naturally anxious, but she was able to calm down by the sound of footsteps from behind.

“But, Ad.”

“Why?”

She wanted to talk to him for no reason.

“Why were you in that alley?”

The alley is said to be a place where security guards rarely come and go. Suddenly she wondered why Ad was there.

“………I followed you.”

“What?”

“I followed you because I saw you being pushed this way.”

She wanted to look back, but her head was firmly held so she couldn’t.

As soon as she tried to turn around, Ad behind him wrapped her head with both hands so that she could see only the front.

“I, I just happened to see you, and you were going to a dangerous place by yourself, so I did it just in case!”

She didn’t say anything, but Ad shouted to himself.

“I see. Did anyone say something?”

The coolness of the child who just beat three big men disappeared in an instant, she then let out a small laugh at his childish behavior. 

“Just go fast.”

“Yes, yes. Thank you.”

There was no answer back.

But she could still feel his hand shaking her head.

She was very curious about what expression he has right now.
