Capítulo 17: Chapter 17: The Diligent Man

Such a ghastly creature, no wonder her two aunts would still frequently get scared by her.

It's truly pitiful, oh. A girl in her late teens, tormented into such a state, and the fact that she managed to survive until six months ago before dying is pretty impressive.

How starving must that wild boar have been to so indiscriminately set his sights on a freak like her?

He was so poor that he had only a thatched hut with a bed on the left, a bamboo partition in the middle to divide the space, and a small stove on the right!
