Provision
I needed money
We eat to the best of our ability...
"No, Al has had a fever for three days now."
"Indeed, we need to call a doctor..."
"It's impossible. I was kicked out and told to prepare 100 silver coins first."
"Right..."
I have no choice but to get more than usual
I was lucky that day
For some reason, there were a lot of people on the main street.
As a child, it was easy for me to hide in a crowd and steal a wallet.
If I get caught even once, it's over.
If it's discovered that it was stolen on the spot, it's over.
I was able to steal from 12 people today.
"Finally, three pieces..."
"We have to hurry."
"I'll get more tomorrow."
Three days have passed since then
Still, Al's
My brother's fever won't go down
On top of that, my feet were swollen and had a strange smell.
There was a man who seemed to be rich in front of me.
A man who wears the same clothes as everyone else, but the fabric seems to be very expensive.
"(I'll go!)"
The man is bumping into many adults in the crowd.
At the same time, our shoulders collided, I pulled out what looked like a wallet from his jacket pocket.
As I was about to leave, I met the man's eyes.
I ran
I ran away through the crowd
Once I enter the narrow streets of the city, he won't be able to follow me anymore.
A path that adults cannot take
A complicated road
It is like a maze, blocked by abandoned garbage and debris.
People who walk on the main road don't know this road.
Even if you live in this town
"Hey"
That's supposed to be the case
"No way..."
"That wallet is important. Give it back."
It came at me from the sky.
"S-shit!"
I take out a weapon
If I didn't silence him, I would be in trouble.
"A handmade knife. Should I call it poor or should I praise it for being skillfully made?"
"Damn it! Die!"
I put all my weight on it and thrust straight into him
"You're desperate, aren't you? But you don't have the ability to do it."
Before I knew it, I was lying on the ground and looking at the sky.
"Eh? Why…"
"I got my wallet back."
Everything I had stored inside my clothes had been stolen by the man.
"Ah? Ah! Damn it! Give it back!"
"What are you talking about?"
"T-that's mine! It's my money!"
"No, it's my wallet, right?"
"Shut up! I stole it, so it's my money!"
"Then these things I took from you are mine, right?"
"Give it back!"
"I don't want to."
"Give it back, damn it! Give it back!"
I try to get the money back from the man, but I can't get close to him at all.
"Is money really that important?"
"It's important, you can't live without money!"
"Hmm... so what if I told you that you could live if you gave up this money?"
