Chapter 6: Candle of the Sanctuary
Humans are beings who need time to adapt to new surroundings.
Someday, I’ll hold this child’s hands and go with her to the market district and buy what she wants, but for now, I bought the child’s clothes myself. Now, I’ll have to admit, it’s somewhat embarrassing for me, a grown man, to buy clothes for a little girl.
My Lord. While I don’t know why He chose me, and why He continues to give me His strength, it surely must be because of His expectations for this foolish servant.
When I think about whether I’m properly meeting those expectations, I just feel ashamed.
“...Sir? You wish to buy a little girl’s underwear...?”
The lady at the clothes store had a strange expression on her face, but I wasn’t embarrassed at all. Really.
*****“Please cut about six geunof good quality pork. Only the meat, not the innards.”
“Aint that too much for a single lad like you? Also, since you only want the meat, it’s going to cost you more, is that okay?”
“Hm...Then make it seven geun and mix the innards. I’m taking care of a child with quite the appetite, you see.”
My little wolf may be quiet, but she has a bottomless stomach.
Perhaps it’s because the slavers starved her since every time she saw meat, she would lose her mind and eat until there was nothing left. Thanks to that, my wallet is emptying at a fast pace, but I’m not worried.
