Freedom... //Yakusoku No Neverland

66] The Forbidden Game - Part 1

隠れた遊び場にカーテンが開く...死の荒廃に!

"A secret... Hunting reserve?" Emma questioned

"TELL ME! Is this another plantation? Or maybe there the ones called the "poachers" who..." I said, pushing Emma behind me

"I knew it. You two are not like the other kids. You know... About the plantations. About them. This isn't one of the farms. It's a secret garden... The private property of an aristocrat called lord bayon. You two, me, all the kids here... The only reason we're still alive is for them yo hunt us" The boy explained

{... What? No, wait. "Demons shan't hunt humans"... So as to keep the promise-}

""All the kids", you said..." Emma said

"They are just innocent newbies. Once a month they replace all who've been eaten" The boy said

"Replace... With whom?" I asked

"Farm kids, mostly" The boy answered "They have some special privilege and use it to ship living cattle"

"You were saying the other kids don't know...?" Emma asked again

"They don't know anything at all" The boy replied "They think they were fortunate to be born in a happy little orphanage, that they were chosen to move into a good home... And then some sort of monster kidnapped them, and now keeps coming to terrorize them. That's basically how most of them see it"

"... Gh!" I could hear Emma groan

"Anyway, we can't around here. Let's hurry up and find a place to hide. There's someone I want you two to meet" He said just as we heard screaming

Emma's reaction time was enough for her to run to the direction of the screams with me on her heels trying my best to catch up

We spotted two? Three kids surrounded by demons

Emma rushed to the scene "RUN!!!" She yelled throwing an axe towards the demons

Emma had aimed towards the eye of the demon and ran to guide the kids as I picked up one with a bleeding arm, worrying he couldn't run

{This... This is Goldy pond! AO8-63! To think the demons would have a secret hunting ground here! That man was scared of something called the "poachers"... They're probably these demons who like to hunt for fun. They're very diffrent from the wild ones. They can think and speak... They walk upright with human-like bodies, wearing masks... They have a culture, a civilization... A lot like those demons who controlled mom and the other adults. Intelligent demons! I'm sure this is where that man lost all his friends! What a place to end up in... But this is our chance. This is the place I was looking for... Minerva left something here. I have to find it... I must find it and leave this place alive with EMMA! First of all, we have to contact Ray}
