There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

87 – Escape

At the end of the last chain, everyone there was freed from restraint.

“Thank you. Thank you so much….”

It didn’t take long for them to break the chains that bound them, because somehow the misunderstanding was resolved and they followed my words well.

“Thank you.”

Let’s raise our heads to the person who expresses gratitude to us, saying that there is no need to do so.

“Hey…!”

A look with a frightened face and quickly widening the distance.

Misunderstanding, it must have been solved… ?

– Sweep.

Looking around, I noticed that there are people who are not completely free yet, but there are people who are thrilled, and people who are still anxious.

If this number of people move, they’ll be caught right away.

Either swiftly or stealthily.

‘I can’t expect stealth from them, so I’d rather move quickly…’ .’

Running away was always a problem.

Considering the person who fell earlier, the situation is too far for them to run away on their own two feet.

At that time, I was wondering if there was any better way.

Kuuk kuk kook.

Huh?

I felt someone pulling my clothes, so I turned around, but no one was there.

It was a while that I felt slightly creepy.

“Brother.”

When I lowered my head at the voice I heard from below my eyes, I saw the daughter of the couple who was almost in a bad situation earlier pulling on my pants.

“What’s up?”

With the johndae now attached to my mouth, I bent my legs to meet the eye level with the child in front of me.

“Is this really a warrior’s party?”

“Yes?”

I expected a pure question such as Thank you for saving me, but doubts suddenly flew by.

-Wack.

Then the couple, who had been watching with anxious eyes, quickly snatched the child away.

“Sorry! My child is immature, stop!”

The father of a child with a swollen face hurriedly handed me an apology.

– Sweep.

Still, it pained me a little to see the woman behind her hide her child behind her.

What did I do?

“Leave this!”

But with her struggle, the child, freed from her mother’s hands, clung to me again. The man who saw it said with a puzzled expression.

“I’m sorry. If my child is a warrior party, I can’t use it…”

As expected, it’s like the Empire’s Aidoru warrior party.

Because one member hid his gender, it ended up being a mixed-gender group.

As I was thinking about that, the child pulled the clothes again from underneath.

“Then your brother is the hero?”

It was an out of the blue question, but the eyes of the child asking such a question were unusual.

Because the worry that seemed like life was at stake was in those young eyes.

“No. I’m not a warrior.”

“Isn’t it? It’s a relief.”

When I asked why the child was relieved.

“That’s right, oppa looks strange!”

My husband and I’s faces hardened at the pure answer that contained no malice.

“I’m sorry! My son likes you very much… Please apologize quickly!”

“Why! I’m going to marry the warrior!”

‘Are you just going to tell me?’

Although I was slightly moved, I decided to protect the child from the cruel truth because the innocence of a child was precious.

“Then what about brother?”

Maybe it’s because he’s not the only male known warrior at the party. Or is it because I am old enough to be curious?

After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth.

“I’m just a porter.”

Then, as if everyone around me had been listening, I heard the sound of each person saying one word at a time.

“As expected, it’s not unusual to have a porter in a warrior’s party.”

“Somehow, it’s not like you’ve killed people once or twice.”

This is my first time.

Still, I thought it would be fine if I followed him well, but before I knew it, the child who had returned to the couple’s arms was chattering.

“Dad, can we go home now?”

“Sure. He’s here.”

“Then what about the carriage you rode in?”

“That’s…”

He was a man who carefully looked at me, but that kind of gaze was not important.

“A carriage?”

“Oh, yes. I was caught while riding in a carriage. The luggage is fine, but the carriage was borrowed, so what should I do when I go back…”

Machara…. If so, it must remain here somewhere.

– Pair! Pair!

Caught the attention of the people there by clapping and asked.

“Does anyone here know how to drive a wagon?”

– Sweep.

Then, hands timidly came up here and there.

I’m sorry.

As I thought of pulling out the root of the pillars of the thieves, a smile naturally spread across my lips.

– Sweep.

People who saw my face started to lower their hands again.

Why are you getting off?

***

“Huh~.”

The road leading to the hideout.

One of the thieves standing guard at the corner of the road let out a long yawn.

“How long has it been since you switched, are you already saying that?”

The thief who stood guard with me looked at the yawning colleague with pitiful eyes and scolded him.

“Since the bastards who went out didn’t come back, my duty was ruined. It’s been a week since today.”

“It already happened? Didn’t something really happen?”

“Let’s sell our worries. The top 5 heads took my family out and what. Anyway, did you see Burke-hyung robbing my brother earlier?”

“Honestly, it’s a bit like sucking the captain’s butt. Is your older brother a bit ugly?”

“Because of that, we talked a lot among ourselves. A certain crazy guy was beaten for saying he had crossed the line.”

“Is that bastard still alive?”

A strange sound came to their ears as they were having an unkind conversation.

– Doo doo doo.

“What are you talking about?”

The thieves hurriedly looked around outside, but they couldn’t see anything.

“Wait a minute. This is not the case…”

It was already too late when I realized that the sound in question was coming from inside, not outside.

– Hee hee hee!

The wagons and horses that were obviously plundered were running madly towards them for some reason.

It is impossible to block the wagon with only two people.

– Doo doo doo.

They had no choice but to watch the wagons pass by like a high pass on a highway.

The thieves, who had been staring blankly at the vanishing wagons, came to their senses and spat out curse words.

“What the f*ck! Why does this happen when I’m standing!”

“Let me know the situation first!”

– Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The bell in the middle of the night began to ring.

***

Around the time when a massive exodus of slaves was being carried out.

“Hmmm~.”

In the messy cage, Chloe had been having a pleasant dream for the first time in a while.

– Wow! So much meat!

In her dream, she was smacking her lips in front of a table piled high with meat, her eyes shining.

Especially when she stretched out her hand after her eyes were taken away by her thick venison.

Someone took her delicious meat.

-Who are you! Who dares to eat Chloe-sama’s meat!

As she looked back angrily as her meat was robbed right in front of her eyes.

-Ah, father… ?

The man she feared most in the world stood there.

– What a lousy year.

With those words spoken in her familiar voice, her dreams turned into nightmares, and even her own brothers, who appeared out of nowhere, started blaming her on her.

-To think that a b*tch like you came from our noble family.

-I can’t even hunt properly.

-The color of the fur shouldn’t be weird either.

Then she grabbed the tail that came out between her legs with both her hands.

-No! I’m not worthless! I mean, there are things I’m good at!

Although she was the woman they remembered, they were shouting that she was not who they were, that she was different from what she used to be.

-What kind of pride is petty stealing?

Eventually she plugged her ears and started searching for her mother as she used to.

The one who believed in himself in this world.

The only one who doesn’t throw himself away.

– Mom!

She ran to her mother and hugged her alone, away from her family.

-Why is something like you in my stomach….

-Mom… ?

Her dream was still a nightmare.

“No!!”

She awoke from her nightmare with a cry close to her scream.

“Ha ha ha…”

As she let out her rough breath and caught her sight of the messy cage, ironically, I felt fortunate.

“It must have been a dream…”

It was a terrible nightmare that had plagued her since childhood.

A baron known to be the strongest among beastmen.

Among them, born as the youngest of the heads, she was weak from birth.

Plus, her hair color is unusual. Members of the strong clan, who value strength, have been subject to various bullying, such as hitting or ignoring them because they have weak and prominently colored hair.

Only her mother took care of her like that.

Chloe remembers her mother as being very smart.

Because he constantly told me stories about the outside world that others didn’t know about.

But her happiness that kept her going did not last long either.

After giving birth to Chloe, her health deteriorated rapidly. One day she suddenly collapsed and never got up again.

Hearing the news that his mate was sick, the boss was furious. Chloe, who was pointed out as the cause, couldn’t stand it and had no choice but to leave her hometown.

She couldn’t even hunt because of her unique hair color that couldn’t blend into nature, so she went to a village where humans lived.

Among the stories she heard from her mother, she approached with high expectations, since there were also some about humans.

What returned to her was her contemptuous gaze and curse words.

The time when she suffered from starvation as she lived through her trash with her head and tail covered. I saw a customer buying food from afar and opening his wallet.

Handing over silver coins and buying food with both hands full.

Then her body moved of its own accord and started chasing after her customer.

Her heart was about to explode, but to her, her wallet looked so defenseless in front of her eyes. She eventually succeeded in stealing her wallet as she passed by.

When she took that money and put her first purchase of food in her mouth.

She had no doubt that this was her own talent.

She

Although she was the one who sought after her because she honed her skills and asked her to join her bandits. In the process of trying to do something with her like her thieves, whose brain is made up of dicks, her identity was discovered.

The current situation is that I ended up being confined in a cage that way.

“Ugh… It’s more vivid than usual. My head is pounding…”

It was such a vivid dream that my head hurt.

‘Wait. Are you throbbing?’

She tilted her head, then lifted her head and looked right in front of her.

“Ahhh…”

There was a porter rolling on the floor, clutching her face.
