Chapter 30: Alice's Worst Memories (1)



–PoV Alice—

4 years ago.

I have a simple family in Robis Town. My dad is a shepherd in a village near the town, while my mother is just a housewife. We have a happy life even though we are poor.

In this town, the Beastmen race like ours is disliked. Many Beastmen can’t live properly. However, as long as I have both my parents, this isn’t a problem at all.

“Mom, why is the Beastmen race like ours not liked?”

Right now I’m hugging my mother, with teary eyes. My mother is sitting on a chair, she has platinum blonde hair and a pretty face. She is a good mother, who always takes care of me.

“Who said our race is not favored? Let mom punish that child.”

My mother is this kind of person, she loves me very much. There are times, she even goes to the neighbor’s house, to talk about their child’s behavior that bothers me.

I was bullied before, by naughty children. They stoned me and mocked me as a Beastmen. I felt sad and went home to my mother’s arms, every time I hugged my mother, I felt like everything in this world couldn’t hurt me. It was a very comfortable feeling.

“N-no mom, I just want to know, why is the beastmen race like us is being hated !?”

I looked at my mother with teary eyes and curiosity. My mother saw this smiling, she stroked my hair gently before she spoke.

“Our race isn’t hated, it’s only because the place we currently live in is located in the human kingdom’s territory,” My mother smiled in response to my question.

“Is that true mom? is there somewhere, no one hates us?” I had my eyes lit up hearing this.

“That’s right, your mom used to be an adventurer, I once went to a town called Sailos City, where all races live side by side,” My mother recalled her past as an adventurer.

“Mom, can I go there too?”

I asked with hopeful eyes. If everyone could coexist, I wouldn’t be bullied by bad boys anymore.

“Why not, but once you’re big enough okay, we as a family will live there,”

“Hooray!!, we will live there,” I shouted happily.

My mother saw me happy, corners of her lips lifted. My mother and I talked a lot about Sailos City, the City where various races live side by side. Unknowingly we spent our time talking about Sailos City.

“Mila, are you inside, I’m coming to visit,”

A woman, with blonde hair and cat ears, came to our house. It was my aunt, her name was Carla. She is my mother’s younger sister, but she hasn’t married until now. From what I heard she already has a future husband, just waiting for their marriage.

“Auntie, I’m glad you came here,” I ran and hugged my aunt.

“Alice, you’re still as childish as ever,” Carla hugged me gently.

“Auntie, why did you come here?” I tilted my head asking her.

“That’s right!! Mila, I will be getting married soon, I want to invite you to our wedding, “

“Hmm? What’s this, after so long, you two have finally made a decision, did Kevyn do something to you?” My mother said with a teasing expression.

Carla had a red face, hearing what my mother said. She felt so embarrassed now.

“Mila don’t tease me, it’s no fun,” Carla folded her arms across her chest with a flushed face.

“Hahaha, this is so funny, looks like Kevyn has done something amazing,” my mother laughed at Carla’s antics.

“Mom, what did Uncle Kevyn do to aunty?” I asked innocently.

My mother had an awkward face at my question, while Carla had a blush on her face.

“No, kids shouldn’t know what adults do,” Carla patted my head.

“Ueee… this is boring,” I puffed out my cheeks, feeling displeased.

“Pfft.. what’s with your cheeks, they look so cute,”

My aunt pinched my puffy cheeks, I let out a pained sound from the pinch.

“Auntie, it hurts”

I rubbed my reddened cheeks, trying to get rid of the pain. My mother and Carla laughed at my antics.

My mother and aunt Carla talked about many things after that. I sat and listened to them, I started to feel bored because I didn’t understand what they were talking about. The door slowly opened this time, who came a man with cat ears, he had black hair.

“Dad, you’re back, is your work done?”

I hugged my dad passionately. My dad lifted me up and carried me. He smiled and kissed my cheek.

“It seems my daughter really misses her dad,”

My dad smiled at me who seemed to miss him so much.

“That’s right dad, I feel bored at home, I also don’t understand what aunt is talking about with mom,” I puffed my cheeks looking annoyed.

“Hahaha… you two are talking about something kids don’t understand,” My dad laughed, turning his gaze to mom and aunt.

“You’re back dear, have you finished all your work?”

“Everything is done, hmn? Carla, why did you come here, did something happen?” My dad asked curiously.

“Dear, she’s here to tell us she and Kevyn are getting married soon,” my mother giggled at Carla.

“Eh? Is that true? I guess Kevyn is frustrated that he can’t wait any longer.” My dad held his chin as if in thought.

Carla again had a flushed face hearing what my dad said. My mother also laughed hearing this. I just tilted my head innocently not understanding what they meant.

My dad took me and sat down next to my mother. Now they were talking about something I didn’t understand, which bore me. After talking for a while, Aunt Carla said she was going back home.

After Aunt Carla came home, Mom went to cook for dinner. I’m currently in my dad’s arms. My dad rested his chin on my head.

“Dad, are we going to stay in Sailos City later?”

“Where did you hear that from? Is it from your mom?” My dad asked curiously.

“That’s right dad, I really want to go there, mom said it’s a beautiful city, with every race living side by side,”

“That’s right, it is a beautiful city, your dad also used to live there, that is also where your mother and I met,” My dad recalled his past memories.

“So dad, why are we living here instead of Sailos city?”

“Robis Town is your mother’s hometown, she also has to return to this town, to meet her family,” My dad replied with a smile.

“Dear, food is ready,” my mother who was in the kitchen said to us.

“Let’s eat, dinner is ready.” My dad carried me into the dining room.

“Um,” I smiled.

I, who was still a child, did not understand anything about the cruelty of the world. Tonight is the most terrible night I have ever experienced, which will bind me until I grow up.
