Chapter 58

"D-did you say those children were taken hostage by the bandits?"

Burren's blue eyes widened, nearly wide enough to pop out of his head.

"Rescuing the hostages means you've found the bandits! Stop lying!"

Martha shoved her face at Raon, telling him to stop speaking nonsense.

The two of them, no, every trainee in the foothold was stunned, unable to believe they'd managed to rescue the hostages from the bandits.

"Think whatever you want."

Raon snickered and brought the children near the bonfire.

"Rest here for now."

Letting them settle in front of the fire, he gave them some of the beef jerky that Sylvia and Helen had prepared for him.

"You can eat this for now."

"Th-thank you."

"Tank yuu."

The boy lowered his head and the girl copied him, lowering her head as well.

The two children started nibbling on the beef jerky. Their eyes were teared up with sorrow.

"Dorian."

"Eh? Yes!"

"Do you have a blanket? A clean one."

"Of course I do."

"Thank you."

Dorian took out a long green blanket from his belly pocket. Raon covered the children's shoulders with the blanket.

"Eat this, too."

Runaan met the children's eyes by kneeling down. She took out the ice cream box from her bag, opened the lid, and handed it out to them.

The last two remaining bead ice creams. Moreover, even though she'd kept her favorite flavors for the end, there was no hesitation in her gesture.

"What is this?"

The girl tilted her head.

"It's ice cream."

Runaan told them that it was cool and delicious, and cleaned the girl's hand before giving the ice cream.

"Aww!"

The girl screamed after trying to touch the ice cream with her tongue. Of course, it was a pleasant scream. Using her small tongue, she started licking the ice cream like a kitten.

"Woah!"

The boy's eyes were wide after taking a bite. However, he gave the rest of the ice cream to his little sister instead of finishing it.

Raon licked his lip as he watched the two children. He felt bitter.

'He became an adult.'

Just like with the bandits, he was thinking about his little sister before anything else. It seemed the boy that had lost his parents had already grown into an adult.

Raon thought he was better than his previous life, where he could only follow Derus Robert's instructions, and lightly tapped the boy's shoulder.

Huh. He actually managed to defeat the ice cream's temptation, one that even the King of Essence succumbed to. He is going to grow up splendidly, get him on your side. I like him.
