章節 47: In the eyes of god (P.1) - Chapter 12
Before Aya entered the guild, Hiroki found himself lost in thought, pondering his next course of action. The issue of Aya's and his own white hair had become increasingly troublesome, and despite his efforts to find a solution, he was met with little success.
He had attempted to change his appearance by manipulating his status, but had been unsuccessful. If he wanted to be able to act without relying on Aya's body, he needed to find a way to shift into a more human-like form.
That way, he would also be able to establish his own identity and presence in this world.
'....I should create a network where I can gather more information efficiently,' he concluded within his mind.
The notion of becoming a merchant had crossed his mind as a potential solution. Leveraging his knowledge from his own world, he believed that starting a business in this unfamiliar realm would be a pragmatic way to achieve his goals.
Aya has also become a huge asset in his plan for moving forward, which is why he has always been careful about how he acts toward her. Especially today, after she was told to act as he had instructed her.
During the fight against the goblins who had kidnapped many villagers, Hiroki wanted to test something out together with Aya, which is why he said that he was going to actually assist her and teach her the easiest way to kill goblins.
Goblins actually had humanoid forms, which is why Hiroki used his knowledge from his world to stab, slay, and quickly kill the goblins in the most gruesome but very efficient way. They were indeed gruesome, but in such effective and inhuman ways that humans from the modern world would actually call them cruel.
~I'm sorry that I had to control your body like that.~
Hiroki apologized to the quiet girl who was on her way with the villager towards the guild.
"No… You have saved my life on multiple occasions. Taught me many new things, and I've grown into who I aspired to be…. What happened today…. was only because I wanted to help them."
Aya softly whispered to herself so the villager next to her wouldn't be able to hear her.
~I'm surprised that you would want to save someone like that.~ Hiroki softly chuckled after hearing Aya's response.
"...Despite how dirty my hands are…. I still can't shut an eye, knowing that I could actually help them. I don't understand it either…" Aya looked at her own hands as she responded.
~That means that despite your hardships and pain you've been through, you still have a pure human heart that still cares for others no matter how much you try to ignore it.~
"....."
Aya stared blankly at her own face for a moment before smiling.
"I have…. a human heart…..?"
Even the villager who was hearing the girl talk to himself looked to his side to see if she was okay.
"Are you okay?" He concernedly asked.
"...."
However, the moment Aya raised her eyes, she showed a pure smile of happiness and a hint of tears in her eyes before actually responding to the villager.
"It's nothing! .....Nothing at all."
The villager, who was actually surprised to see the girl smile, had his eyes widened for a moment as his cheeks slightly blushed from the pure and happy expression Aya had. But then he looked in front as he thought to himself how a young girl like her should express herself all the time compared to the bloodthirsty look on her face.
