Chapter 63

“Su, get out of the way”

The dove heard the girl’s words and stepped aside.

Looking at it, Jungmin thought.

‘Are you trained pigeons? No, even if you trained, do you understand people to that extent?’

Jeongmin tilted his head and approached the children.

As Jung-Min approached, the girl and the boy called Min-Jun looked terrified.

Seeing the two children staring at him with tears welling up on his face, Jung-min let out a small sigh.

Jung-min squatted in front of the children and said.

“Does it hurt a lot? I’ll treat you, so give me your hand.”

At Jung-min’s words, a boy called Min-joon reached out his hand.

As soon as he recognized the wound, the boy burst into tears as if the pain was coming back.

Jung-min opened an advanced potion and poured it on the child’s wound.

Chi profit

Hearing the sound of something burning and feeling cool, the boy widened his eyes.

Soon, as the sound died down and the bubbling foam disappeared, the child shouted when he saw his hand returned to its clean appearance before the scar.

“Sister! It doesn’t hurt anymore! My hand is completely healed!”

The girl’s eyes widened at Minjun’s cry.

The girl looked at Jung-min after examining her hand to see if the wound was gone.

“Go, thank you.”

It was only then that Jung-min was able to take a good look at the children.

She has a chapped face, perhaps because she hasn’t washed for a long time, and is wearing thin clothes even in the chilly weather.

They were children with very emaciated bodies and faces, probably because of poor nutrition.

Jeong-min thought of asking the children something, but thought of Leah waiting for him.

“Um… do you want to go with me? There’s someone waiting for you.”

After treating Min-Jun’s hand, I could see that the children’s wariness had disappeared to some extent in the eyes of the children looking at Jung-Min.

The children hesitantly followed Jeong-min, and Jeong-min took them to where Leah was waiting.

Leah, who was sitting in front of the campfire, saw two children and stood up in amazement.

“You’re here, Mr. Jung. You’re a child as expected.”

“Ah, Leah-san must have known.”

“Yes, because the feeling of presence was small. I was going to tell you, but you have already gone far.”

After welcoming Jung-min, Leah looked at the children and smiled.

“Hello? My name is Leah. It’s cold. Don’t stand there. Come here.”

When the children saw Leah, they seemed to have let their guard down considerably.

However, not understanding Leah’s words, he stood still in his seat.

“Ah, that doesn’t make sense. Wait a minute.”

Soon, Leia used the mental link skill.

Leah, who connected the two children’s heads with white light, spoke again.

“Can you understand what I’m saying now? Come here. Closer to the fire.”

As Leah’s words began to make sense, the children came closer to the campfire in amazement.

Children warming their cold little hands near the bonfire.

Looking at the children, Jung-min took out a blanket from the inventory and wrapped it around the two children.

The children startled when they felt the touch of a blanket on their shoulders.

However, he soon felt a warm feeling and put on a drowsy expression.

Leah looked at the pigeon sitting still on the girl’s shoulder and made an interesting expression.

Looking at the girl quietly, Leah said.

“Eunjin is an Awakener who has the ‘Training’ skill. It is amazing to have such a rare skill at such a young age.”

The girl, Eunjin, who heard Leah’s words, looked at Leah in surprise.

“U-how did you know that? Do you even know my name? I didn’t say anything…”

“Wow, how did you know?”

Eunjin and Minjun looked at each other in amazement.

Seeing the two children like that, Leah grinned.

“My sister also has the skill to recognize such things. Isn’t that pigeon tamed with the training skill?”

Eunjin grabbed the pigeon from her shoulder with both hands and held it out to Leah.

“Yes, my name is Sue. He’s my friend. Originally, there was a ‘Yeon’.. But now I don’t have one..”

Eunjin, who was excitedly introducing ‘Soo’, quickly became sullen.

Leah stroked Eunjin’s hair without asking further.

Eunjin seemed embarrassed by the hand stroking her hair, but soon closed her eyes and felt the warmth and liked it.

Jeongmin looked at the children and asked.

“Did you two live there? Anyone else?”

Jung-min noticed that the eyes of the children were not looking at him, but were elsewhere.

Snacks that Jung-min and Leah took out and were eating.

Jung-min smiled lightly as he saw the two children staring at him.

“Do you want some snacks? Wait a minute.”

Jeongmin spoke and took out some snacks and drinks from his inventory.

“Let’s talk while eating this. Do you want to eat?”

The eyes of the children who saw the snacks and drinks were very sparkling and nodded vigorously.

When Jung-min handed it over, Eun-jin and Min-jun hurriedly started eating the snacks.

Looking at the two children pushing their mouths with both hands, Jung-min said.

“Eat slowly, I’ll give you more when you eat. Oh, I should have given you something like rice instead of a snack…

“Bar, do you have rice?”

Eunjin, who was putting the snack in her mouth, asked Jeongmin with her eyes twinkling.

“Would you like to eat something instead of a snack?”

As Jung-min said, even Min-joon, who was eating snacks with Eun-jin, nodded vigorously.

Jung-min took out rice and simple side dishes from his inventory.

When a simple table was set in front of them, the two children began to eat rice and side dishes as if possessed.

Looking at the food disappearing quickly, Jung-min said anxiously.

“Children, eat slowly.

Despite Jung-min’s worrying words, the children ate quickly.

Even while Eunjin was eating hard, she put side dishes on Minjun’s spoon and even shared food with ‘Soo’, a pigeon, to take care of it.

Soon the rice ran out, and the children gulped down their drinks and made faces of satisfaction.

Leah said, feeling the regret in the eyes of the children looking at the remaining food.

“Did you finish eating? Are you full? Don’t eat more even if it’s a waste. You might get really sick.”

“Ha, but you must be hungry again…”

After hearing Eunjin’s words, Leah let out a small sigh and said,

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you don’t go hungry again, just stop eating for now.”

At Leah’s firm words, the children put down their spoons.

Jung-min said to those children.

“Um.. First of all, nice to meet you. Wasn’t it scary earlier? I’m sorry. I was blindly chasing after you.. Let me introduce ourselves. My brother is Jeong-min. Choi Jeong-min. My older sister is Leah.”

“Others, are you a foreigner?”

“Um… what is it?”

“Oh, I see..”

Eunjin hesitantly asked Jeongmin and Leah.

“My sister and oh, my brother… are not predators…?”

Jung-min and Leah’s eyes widened at Eun-jin’s question.

“harrier?”

“No, of course I know that’s not the case. If you’re a looter, you can’t give us food. I-I just asked just in case.”

Jeongmin and Leah looked at each other, then turned their heads to look at Eunjin.

“My name is Kang Eun-jin. I’m 11 years old. This is my younger brother Kang Min-jun. He’s 7 years old.”

After hearing Eunjin’s words, Jungmin asked.

“It’s Eunjin and Minjun. But are you living there just the two of you? Are there any adults around?”

Hearing Jung-min’s question, Eun-jin shook her head.

“No. The three of us lived together. Me, Minjun, and Yuri unnie…”

“Yuri sister? Where did that person named Yuri go?”

When Jung-min asked, tears began to form in Eun-jin’s eyes.

Seeing Eunjin’s tears, Jung-min was taken aback. Leah stepped forward to wipe Eun-jin’s tears and spoke kindly.

“What happened?”

Hearing Leah’s kind words, Eunjin sniffled and said,

“Mo, I don’t know. Yesterday, no, the day before yesterday, he said he was looking for something to eat, and he went out and hasn’t come back since then.

“That’s how you met us.”

Eunjin nodded, and Leah asked again.

“Since when did the two of you… or the three of you start living together?”

“that’s..”

Eunjin started talking.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Before [Trial of the Gods] begins, mother, Minjun, and Eunjin. three people living together.

Awakened, Eun-jin informed her mother that she had become an awakened person, and Eun-jin’s mother then visited guilds and shelters to receive housing counseling.

However, Eunjin’s skill did not receive the attention of any shelter or guild, and eventually faced the [Trial of the Gods] without belonging to any place.

Unfortunately, a gate appeared close to the house, and the three of them encountered goblins.

I managed to escape the goblins, but in the meantime, the mother who tried to protect the siblings was seriously injured.

I was able to get as far away from the gate as possible, but my mother couldn’t stand it any longer and collapsed.

It was Yuri Choi who appeared in front of the two crying siblings holding on to their dying mother.

Like Eun-jin, Choi Yuri, who had awakened but was unable to belong anywhere and ran away from the gate, could not bear to pass by the crying young siblings.

The mother of the siblings passed away after asking Yuri for Eunjin and Minjun, and Yuri took the two siblings and left.

“To be able to act like that in a situation where I’m too busy taking care of myself… You’re such a nice person.”

Hearing Leah’s voice filled with admiration, Eunjin sniffed and nodded.

The three of them wandered around looking for a place away from the gate. The gates were tightly placed, and it wasn’t easy to find a place out of their sphere of influence, but I was able to find a suitable place and settle down.

Both Yuri’s and Eunjin’s inventories were stocked with food, so they did not suffer from food problems.

The goblin patrol roaming around was the biggest threat, but thanks to Eunjin and Yuri’s skills, they were able to safely avoid it.

The two pigeons ‘Soo’ and ‘Yeon’ trained by Eun-Jin.

Two pigeons noticed the approach of the goblin patrol in advance,

It was possible to escape quickly with Yuri’s skill ‘sprint’.

Leah said in amazement.

“Sprinting skill…”

“Ah, did you say that one of the skills Leah had when she first awakened was the ‘sprint’ skill?”

Leah nodded at Jeongmin’s words.

“That’s right. You remembered. The ‘sprint’ skill and the ‘mine’ skill. Those two were everything. It’s nostalgic.”

Leah’s eyes were stained with sadness.

Eunjin’s story continued.

The three of Yuri, Eunjin, and Minjun were able to hold on while avoiding danger.

However, as time passed, the food ran out, and the three of them were in a position to find something to eat right away.

Fortunately, shops were opened at the same time as high-level gates appeared, and it was possible to purchase food at the shops.

However, Yuri, who had only caught two goblins while running away from [Trial of the Gods] in the first place, only had very little gold, and Eun-jin did not have a single gold, so she could only buy a small amount of food.

In the end, the three of them decided to move around the gate and hunt monsters.

Unlike the beginning, there are almost no D-class gates left.

Still, after diligently searching, I was able to find the D-class gate, and after settling down nearby, I started hunting the goblins scouting.

Eun-jin uses pigeons to lure one or two goblins from the scouting party, and Yuri attacks and catches them, so the three of them can earn enough gold to fill their stomachs.

The three people who lived together like that.

Great danger was upon them.

It was because of the encounter with the looter.

“You met a looter?”

Jeongmin frowned and asked again.

Eunjin bit her lip and nodded.

“Yes, Yuri unnie called them predators. That day was also the day we went hunting for goblins.. I met two strange men. .. I managed to escape, but then ‘Keon’ died.”

Perhaps remembering what happened then, Eunjin started whimpering again.

When Leah approached and gently hugged Eunjin, Eunjin seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then started to cry.

“Sister, don’t cry.”

When Minjun saw his sister cry and started crying too, Jungmin hurriedly took out two candies from his inventory.

Even in the midst of crying, the two siblings, who happily put candy in their mouths, put on a happy expression at the sweetness they felt in their mouths and soon stopped crying.

Eunjin roughly wiped her face and spoke again.

“Since then, it has become difficult to go outside and hunt goblins. There are many people similar to the men who tried to catch us. I used to look around. Then, two days ago, the food completely ran out, and Yu-ri unnie said she was looking for food and went out… and didn’t come back…”

After she finished speaking, Eunjin bowed her head.

Leah hugged Eunjin again and said softly.

“Don’t worry too much. Yuri unnie will be safe. I’ll help unnie and oppa find it.”

“Really?”

Leah nodded and said.

“Ah, there are also people who deserve to be asked. Let’s ask them.”

Eunjin was startled by Leah’s words and looked around.

Soon, Eun-jin turns blue when she finds armed people walking from one side.

Patting her as if to soothe her, Leah said to Jeongmin.

“They look like looters.”
